MOVING

Dreaming...

Sorry, I've been a really lazy blogger... This week's been quite messy. I'm moving on Saturday from my apartment and I just have sooo much stuff.. My apartment is now full of boxes everywhere. I already packed most of my things, so now I can't find anything.

The weather here up north has turned in one day from nice autumn weather to snowstorm. I don't even want to leave the apartment. Today I had to though.. :P First I went to visit my cute niece and then to the launch party of the clothing brand Bikbok that arrived to Finland today! :D Some of the clothes are really cool and the prices are very affordable. I think I might go there tomorrow to check out the shop and maybe use my gift card.. :)

BLUR


These favorite shoes I wore today, thought the color was perfect for a pre-christmas party at work.. :) I've been doing so much this week, too much. And now I just feel like everything's blurry in my head (no, I'm not drunk). I feel a bit stressed even though all the things I have going on are fun. I have a nice project that I'm working on at the moment.. Will tell more later. And then there's always work, parties, friends and best of all my cute niece that came into my life last week. <3

PRINCESS OF CHINA


I looked trough my statement necklaces and bracelets that I keep in my favorite Aalto vase and found a few beautiful pieces I haven't worn in a long time. Many of these jewelries remind me of good times; sunbathing in Mauritius, spending a warm autumn day in Stockholm, getting a present from a loved one, having fun party nights in Paris.. Ah, memories. I'm a sucker for combining my things with good memories, that's why it's always so hard for me to sell anything at a flea market. Even an old ugly shirt I'll probably NEVER wear can be impossible to throw out of my wardrobe, because I've had such a great time in it.. Next month I'm going to sell some old stuff in Kaivarin Kanuuna, a great flea market in Helsinki, so I have to try stop being so sentimental about every single piece of clothing I own!

At the moment I can't stop listening to this song "Princess of China" by Coldplay and Rihanna, I really like it.. <3

AT THE POST OFFICE



I went down to the basement today and found this pair of Bianco boots that I had totally forgot about. They're so warm and comfy, never want to be without them again. :) Now I'm home after meeting up with my friend Yasmin (aka personal photographer ;D) in the center..

FEELING BLUE

Flea market necklace and leather earrings made by me

I like these electric blue accessories that I matched the other day with a jeans skirt and blue stockings.

I'm not actually feeling blue today, because something great happened. I became an aunt to a cute little baby girl! :D

MTV EMA'S

Zara dress

For father's day (that we celebrated yesterday) I went to Sipoo to my parents' place. I wore this black and white Zara dress from a couple of year's back that apparently had shrunk a bit after washing it, but I like this shorter version as well.. :) I got stuck watching the EMA's rerun on MTV, even though I should sleep. Heidi Klum was a great host and I just fell in love with all her Versace outfits! <3

NRJ FASHION NIGHT

I wore Kalevala Koru jewellery, Filippa K top, Zara pants & Jonak shoes
Dressingroom Drama
Goldmine

I went to the NRJ fashion night that was held in the Finlandia Hall yesterday with a couple of friends from work, we had a good time drinking champagne and eating weird appetizers. The show was pretty cool with three well-known Finnish bands, Don Johnson Big Band, The 69 Eyes and The Rasmus, performing and dancing on the catwalk etc. :) But the clothes in the fashion show wasn't as impressive.. In the end of the show ten fashion design students showed their designs and some of them were actually really good! For those who are interested (and in Finland), you can watch the fashion show on AVA next Sunday.

Today wasn't the most productive day for me. I woke up late and went for a 5 hour lunch with my friend Oxana. :D We had a lot to talk about.. First we went to Katsomo right next to the Savoy theater for lunch, but moved our lazy asses to Strindberg after they threw us out of the restaurant.. :)

Goodnight! <3

WALK IN THE PARK

Zara jacket, cardigan & jeans, Bianco shoes, Longchamp bag

It was freezing yesterday when me and my friend Yasmin met, so I understand why the last pictures are a bit blurry.. :P To warm us up, we had some warm drinks and chocolate cake. Later I went to the movies with my sister to see a French film, La guerre est déclarée at Kino Engel. I miss Paris. :(

Now we're off to have another potatisbakelse (potato pastry) tasting with my sister and a friend. :D

LACE AND LEATHER

H&M conscious collection skirt, Ange shirt from Paris, Bianco shoes, bag and jewellery made by me (once again...)

Pink and black lace was what I wore yesterday. It was a pretty hectic day, with a strict party schedule. ;D First we had a party at work, with lots of fun activities (archery, bowling, mini-golf etc.), sauna, food and open bar... I then went to a friend's housewarming party (gorgeous apartment!) and later to another friend's birthday party. So I've been a bit tired today.. But thanks to everyone who made it a fun day! :))
Now I should stop watching pointless series on TV and start reading!
:-*

PRESENTS :)

Some of the presents I got for my graduation. :)

A bronze Kalevala Koru ring
I got a manicure and pedicure today and chose a quite dark nail polish... :o
I also got a Kalevala Koru pendant, the same I had a few years ago..
Chanelle managed to loose it somehow in my old apartment in Paris, because she loved to play with it.. :c I have to be careful this time!
And the matching earrings :)
All you need to live a French lifestyle, drink wine and eat onionsoup! ;)
Haha, that is probably what I will look like when I'm 80! :D
I also got a cute Longchamp keyring <3
THANK YOU wonderful friends and family! :) I already ate the best-tasting present, a potato pastry (potatisbakelse). Yummm. :))
