I'm having a great time with my new look. I know that hair colour can't affect our character, but... Now that my hair is red and shorter I'm feeling more confident and cheerful. Now I feel like really ME. My natural colour is blond, but I've also had brown and black hair.

The dress I'm wearing is from S'NOB. I took part from a Facebook game and won it. And the makeup I'm having is from Loreal make-up artist and it was also free (did not cost anything). So who said there is no free lunch.

I have coloured hair myself and let the hair stylist to it. First time when I coloured my hair brown it was with Loreal Casting Creme. It was a beautiful colour, but stayed uniform after second colouring. Then I wanted a bit darker brown hair, but here I made a mistake. I did not know that 400 dark brown makes hair black. So I was black for a long time. But sometimes enough is enough and I got bored of it. I went to hairdresser and she made a colour wash. It did not damage my hair. After colour wash my hair was a little reddish. After that I spent a year without hair colouring and was bored again. And now I am red and happy. But it is hard to maintain red hair, it fades quickly. To keep the colour I use KC Professional Colour Mask (Pepper). Yes it works!

Liquid eyeliner, which makes it easy to get the right framing of the eyes. Because it has a pentip- not a brush tip applicator, it is much easier to get a perfectly smooth line every time.

BLUEBERRY EYEBROW PENCIL. The wooden pencil made from natural materials is easy to keep in top condition with a pencil sharpener. Arctic blueberry seed oil protects the skin under the eyebrows.

I designed this shoe for ABC Shoe and magazine Mood competition. Of course I don't win because there are so many great shoe sketches.

And yes my shoe is too ordinary, but it is so me :). So me means round nose, somekind of pattern and colourful.

Shoe is made from leather and yellow fabric with pattern. Zip is behind the heel. Heel is about 8cm high.

So I went on a Tallinn Fashion Week on Saturday the 27th of October that took place for the sixth time and is one of the biggest fashion events in Estonia. It was my first one and I enjoyed it. It took place in Telliskivi Loomelinnak (in English Telliskivi Complex http://www.telliskivi.eu/home/cmtls/node/4). I watched three designers collections: Marimo Fashion, Eva Anders, Marija Posa.

Marimo I already knew, but the other two were unknown. First collection "Restlessness" was presented by Marimo Fashion (designer Mariliis Soobard). I have always liked the music of her shows. It is soulful and restful. In Marimo words the "Restlessness" is about people's anxiety, we are never happy with what we have. What we have achieved or achieve will never give us perfect peace. Somewhere else is always better. The collection reflects this idea, but clothes are still noble, implying that, in fact, this may still be perfect for that point in time.

More photos of this collection you can find from Marimo Fashion Facebook sheet .

Eve Anders collection was defined by graceful silhouettes, bold strokes, high degree of eco-friendliness achieved by exclusive use of natural materials.

Eucalyptus and maple leaves, brought fresh from Cyprus, Israel and Netherlands, mushrooms and flowers picked in Estonian fields and forests, as well as bark of exotic trees from far reaches of the planet are synergized to make natural dyes that are applied by hand to result in unmatched colors.

Eve Anders collection introduces a new eco fabric technique to European markets called "natural print".

And then there was AMAZING Marija Posa. Maria Posledova is fashion designer, artist and stylist, who creates her works under the name Marfa. Her studio specializes in custom orders for private customers including haute couture clothing, evening gowns, coats, etc.

In Estonia we actually have many model agencies in view of population. But I think that the most known are:

Estonian most famous model is Carmen Kass. At the age of fourteen, she was discovered in a Tallinn supermarket by an Italian modeling scout. Four years later, she moved to Milan and later Paris to pursue modeling quickly appearing in fashion shows for many top designer. She has graced a variety of magazine covers and in advertisements for brands as diverse as Calvin Klein, Chanel, Donna Karan, Givenchy, Fendi, Michael Kors, the Gap, Sephora.

But let's see who are my favourite models from leading Estonian agencies.

Firstly I have to mention of course Karmen Pedaru. She was discovered by Estonian agency MJ Model Management and has cooperated with Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Michael kors, Ferragamo and other big names.

The contest "Moedepoo 2012" I won was the first fashion contest in my life. I think the preparation for contest took about 4 months. After work I spent much of my free time in the fabric store. At first I was depressed because I thought I would never find fabrics I need for my design. Estonian fabric stores are not really impressive and if there is something then it is very expensive. For my suprise I found most of my fabrics from the smaller cities than Tallinn (for example Paide Lipi-Lapi Äri and Rakvere).

The overall impression about Moedepoo 2012 organization was not good. The backstage was too far from the show place. We had to go from one house to another and it was raining outside. Lighting of the stage was poor so the photos were not so good. So I hope that next year the organizators will do it better.

I got to know at the last minute that I need model for every costume, but I had 8 costumes and 7 models. So I had to wear one costume myself and guess what it was ment to a smaller model but somehow I managed to wear it. And one of the models wore smaller dress also, so it did not give the effect I wanted. The dress was straining every where. In general I spent for this show over 1000 euros.

BUT I WON AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD! Very big thanks to my team:

- seamstress > Maris Kaljumäe

- makeup > Brigitta-Rebecca Kessel

- hairdresser > Anna-Liisa Kupits

- photographer > Vahur Kannikka

- models > Hanna, Julia, Kadri, Kaisa, Kairi, Liisa, Pille-Riin
