LUMIA LOVE

Nokia Lumia 800 <3 

This baby arrived in the mail on Monday. Yeah, I finally have a smartphone!!! :D I'm so exited, and I feel like the biggest nerd ever. Before I never used to do anything with my phone, except call and send messages of course. Now I'm constantly checking my e-mails, Facebook, getting new apps, playing games etc... I know most people think it's normal to do all these things with your phone, but not me!! The only thing is I have some problems with writing messages and calling! :D It takes forever, but I just need to get a bit more used to this wonderful phone. <3 

I'm really into neon colors now, so I thought I would match my nails with my beautiful neon vase. :) The nail polish is from H&M for a couple of euros. Because of the sun and all I've been feeling really energetic, and this week I've been out jogging every day. I hope I will keep up the good work all summer. :) After my jog today I came to school to meet some friends and to work on my thesis. Now it's soon 7 pm and I'm still here. I think it's time to go home NOW!!

Candy shop

Two happy girls :D

Nothing beats going to a candy shop on your way to the club, hehe.. We were celebrating one of my best friend's birthday yesterday. We had a great dinner at Pueblo, a really cute bar/restaurant with fantastic atmosphere, food and heavenly strawberry margaritas! After that we headed to the club Namu (slang for candy in Finnish). So we thought it was a great idea to stop on our way to the club to get some candy from a candy shop nearby! We all bought a huge bag of candy each and then six happy girls continued on our way to the club. :) I wouldn't stop eating those delicious candies, so my stomach started hurting a bit.. Too much candy, oops. But it was a fun night! Sometimes I can't believe we're turning 25 this year, when we act like 15. But I guess it's good that you're able to have fun and sometimes do crazy things no matter how old you are! :) 

Bonne nuit! <3

Lioness

 Earrings of wooden pearls I made this weekend :)

Call me childish if you want, but The Lion King is one of my absolute favorite movies! :) I used to watch it all the time when I was little and the other night we decided to watch it again with my boyfriend. Aah, how much I cried and laughed.. I just love that movie. <3

It's been more of a hectic weekend, than a relaxed one. On Saturday we went to IKEA with my boyfriend, we needed a few stuff for the apartment. I've never been this fast in IKEA before. I just ran through the department store and in the restaurant I threw meatballs in my mouth with an amazing speed. In spite of the fact that it was a Saturday afternoon and the place was filled with people, we managed to be there for less than one hour. We bought a shelf, cushions and some other small unnecessary stuff that always jumps in your shopping cart while you're there. Later I went out with a friend and on Sunday we went with some other friends to Café Regatta, the best cafe in town. We grilled sausages on the terrace and enjoyed the sun. I also got some good news... :D

Have a good and sunny week!

Sofinah

Chicy.se sweater & Lily and Lionel scarf

Here I am with my wonderful new scarf. <3 I bought it yesterday at a new and cool shop Sofinah in Helsinki. A friend organized a night there for bloggers to come and see the new shop and to find out about Bonaqua's charity work in Kenya. For every Bonaqua sparkling water bottle you buy, three liters of clean water will be donated to Ikutha in Kenya. :) So you can drink bottled water with a good conscious. Bonaqua's new tastes; apple & lime-blackberry are really good and I'm usually not even a fan of sparkling water. 

In the shop I fell in love with this wonderful cashmere and silk scarf. I just adore the colors and it's cool because the scarf is actually made of a horse print that you don't realize at first. The luxury brand Lily and Lionel have THE MOST WONDERFUL scarves I've ever seen. Aah, I checked out their website and I totally fell in love with all of their scarves. But I think one is enough! :)

Yesterday we had a pizza night with some friends, and I met the lovely and extremely tanned Jeanette for the first time after her trip to Thailand. <3  I really can't wait for summer to be here too!

Have a fun weekend!!! <3 <3

Sushi night

Me with some of the girls, wearing my shiny python pants, H&M blouse, top and earrings made by me

It's been a long, but good weekend! It was my mum's birthday on Friday so I went to my parent's house in the morning. We went out for dinner in Porvoo, where I had the best steak I've had in a long time. On Saturday morning me and two friends headed to Helsinki, where we had brunch at the new restaurant Martta. We then bought all the ingredients we needed for SUSHI! :) Luckily we had our little master chef Kia with us, so she knew exactly what we needed to buy. At another friends place we then prepared the sushi rolls and they turned out great! My specialty was a maki with apple, rucola and cream cheese, yum! Later we went to Baker's, Le Bonk and Glöd. It was really fun to spend time with these friends that I hardly ever see.

Good night! :)

Flea market findings

H&M T-shirt, BCBG Max Azria skirt, H&M leggings, Bianco shoes & my own made jewellery
 
I really like selling my old clothes on flea markets, you get more space for new clothes in your closet and some extra cash! :) Yesterday me and my sister went to ishallen/jäähalli in Helsinki to get rid of some of our old stuff. It's always nice to go selling with my sister, because she sells the most wonderful things! I didn't look at any other table, I didn't have to because I found so many wonderful things from ours. I bought a Cristelle & Co cardigan, a Zara trench coat, a Puma jacket (for jogging), a Saint Tropez scarf AND a cute BCBG Max Azria silk skirt (in the picture)!! And all for a couple of euros each. :D Thanks sis! <3

Music to my ears

My new love (the ipod) and all jewellery made by me :)

I'm so exited!!! I finally have an ipod!!! :D This may sound crazy, but for the past year I haven't had any kind of portable music device. I know, I don't know how I survived.. But you get used to it, and it's actually pretty nice to hear your own thoughts. ;) But today I got my Valentine's present (late I know, but we never had time to celebrate Valentine's day before) and my lovely boyfriend gave me this wonderful, tiny thing, so that I finally can join the civilized world again. ;D Yeahh!!

Have a great weekend!! <3
