i'm back

IMG_0192 IMG_0193 

Hi guys! 

I've had a super duper busy week at work and spent all my free time catching up with either friends or sleep, which is why I haven't really had any chances to do anything for the blog which I am terribly sorry about. Now I'm having a few days off from work which I'm spending wisely just cleaning the house and resting - I think I catched a flu since I'm feeling pretty bad now... 

Anyways, I'll do my best to post some stuff before this month ends, maybe even an outfit if I can get someone to shoot it - we'll see... wearing some new lipstick I got on my pay day, what do you guys think?

Today's tiny photoshoot out of outfit inspiration. It's finally getting warmer to dig out some lighter outfit options, I can't wait to be wearing white sneakers without worrying about them getting dirty (which is exactly why I haven't been wearing these out much yet, haha)! 

What do you guys think about the outfit?

hki had me like


Hey guys! I just came back from a fun weekend in Helsinki, and I'm so full of energy now after three days of relaxing, bonding and having a great time. 

I found some really awesome things from Helsinki that I can't wait to share with you guys, so more on the blog later.

Hi guys! 

I've had a really good week, once again. January was good to me, I feel so different and happy in some strange way that I can't really explain here. A lot of new and exciting things keep coming my way and I can't wait to tell more about them once I know better myself. Before that I'll just simply enjoy life and see what it brings to me. I'm sounding really philosophical right now which was not my intention (yeah right!), but I'll be back with something more concrete later. 

Wearing my new favourite Adidas track jacket, which I will tell more about on my next post which is all about my shoppings from Poland - stay tuned!

Gdansk 2015

Hi guys, I'm back!

After three days of just unpacking, catching up with friends and recovering from my holiday I am finally here to share some pictures of Gdansk. I really fell in love with the city - the old town was absolutely beautiful, people were nice and spoke English even if they were struggling with it, and needless to say that everything was so cheap, especially the food! I had a great holiday and I can't wait to post my shoppings here too, since I bought some really awesome stuff. Stay tuned for more!

merry christmas

IMG_1557 IMG_1561 IMG_1574 IMG_1621 IMG_1624 IMG_1633 IMG_1637 IMG_1644
Hi guys and Happy Holidays! 

Christmas was really peaceful in our family - on Christmas Eve my mom and I made great food (although I was disappointed in the presentation of my cheesecake this year...), we watched some traditional Christmas programme and exchanged presents. My grandpa stayed the night at my dad's house so he wouldn't have to be alone during the holidays, and today we had a second meal with all the leftover's - and trust me when I say that there were plenty. 
I've been so happy and thankful for all the presents I got this year, they were much better than I had dared to wish for and I can't wait to share them with you guys in a gift post. It was also lovely to see how well I did with my own gifts, since everyone was really happy with what they got from me. I'm just waiting for my sister to receive her gifts via mail, since I think she will love them too. 

I'm so sorry for being such a lazy blogger - I've been working a lot and hard this past few weeks, and that with all the Christmas hassle and meetings with friends and old schoolmates has taken all extra time I could have putten into blogging. I've been trying to back up all the posts I had planned for this blog, so when you scroll down you should be able to see new posts. Be patient with me, I'm trying to get back on track! 

I wish everyone a peaceful Christmas, I'll be back soon!

xmas feels

It's funny how something so little and vain as getting your lashes done can make your whole day - nothing much happened today, but I still feel pretty great. Red is the official color of this season, so it was time to paint my nails and put on my favorite red shirt, not to mention lipstick! 

 Hassua, miten joku niin pieni ja pinnallinen asia kuin ripsihuolto pelastaa koko päiväsi - tänään ei tapahtunut paljon mitään, mutta olo on silti mahtava. Punainen on tämän kauden virallinen väri, joten oli aika lakata kynnet ja pistää suosikkipaita päälle, huulipunaa unohtamatta!

black widow

How to be weird: 1. buy a black lipstick 2. wear it on the regular. 
I've been planning on getting a black lipstick for a while now, but it wasn't until Halloween that I realized that you could get it super cheap from any costume shop. Yesterday, a little late from Halloween, I picked it up and this is the result. The lipstick was a little too matte for my taste, so I added some black Rimmel lip gloss that I got from a sale few years back (I wonder why no one wanted it, haha). 
I must admit that it is a little wild even for me, but what do you guys think?

turku pride


Yesterday was Turku Pride, and although I completely missed the parade as I was working I just had to go out later that evening to celebrate the embracement of equality here in home town. Jontte asked me to wear "something cool", and I did my best in finding what I considered cool from my trash bags and piles in which my clothes still are in due to moving - leopard Jeffrey's and a fur coat is always a cool combination though right? 

Eilen oli Turku Pride, ja vaikka missasinkin koko marssin töissä ollessani niin minun oli silti pakko päästä illalla tuulettumaan tasa-arvon nimissä rakkaassa kotikaupungissani. Jontte pyysi minua pistämään "jotain coolia" päälle, ja yritinkin parhaani mukaan löytää coolin asun jätesäkkieni ja vaatepinojeni seasta joissa vaatteeni edelleen ovat muuton jäljiltä - leopardiset Jeffreyt ja turkistakki nyt on aina cool yhdistelmä, vai mitä?

moving

 photo IMG_9041_zps79a1a905.jpg  photo IMG_9043_zps488c00d8.jpg  photo IMG_9046_zps710a99f0.jpg 
These pictures are from a week ago, since we already moved this week's Monday but it was not until Friday that we finally got a internet connection over here. 
But long story short, I moved out from my dad's place to live with my mom in her new apartment in Ilpoinen and so far things have been going well. I like the area although I've never even been here properly before moving, but exploring this city has never boring for me. Things are still quite unfinished here on my behalf since I've been working so much, so I'll post some home pictures once I've finally unpacked all my things. 

(In the first picture all the boxes and bags consist of my shoes - still haven't figured out where to put them all...)

Kuvat ovat jo viikon verran vanhoja sillä muutimme tämän viikon maanantaina, mutta saatiin tänne vasta perjantaina nettiyhteys. Mutta näin lyhyesti sanottuna muutin siis pois isäni luota asumaan äitini uuteen kämppään Ilpoisiin, ja kaikki on mennyt sujuvasti tähän asti. Pidän kovasti alueesta vaikka tänne muuttaminen taitaa olla ensimmäisiä kertoja kun täällä liikun, mutta tämän kaupungin tutkiminen ei koskaan tule kyllästyttämään itseäni. Asiat ovat vielä melko keskeneräisiä omalta osaltanu sillä olen ollut niin paljon töissä, mutta postaan tänne jotain kämppäkuvia kun olen vihdoinkin purkanut kaikki tavarani.

(Ensimmäisen kuvan kaikki pussit ja laatikot sisältävät pelkästään kenkiäni - en ole vielä keksinyt miten saan ne kaikki mahtumaan tänne...)

epic (helsinki) weekend



It's been 3 nights since I came back from Helsinki Monday-night, but it has taken me a few days of recovery to recollect on everything that happened! On Thursday I arrived in Helsinki around 9pm, and after unpacking my things we headed straight out for a good time in Namu with a few drinks before heading back to bed and preparing for the long weekend ahead of us in Weekend Festival. 
On Friday and Saturday was Weekend Festival and oh boy I had a good time! 
It's amazing how many people I saw that I knew from Turku especially on Friday (even those that I didn't want to see, unfortunately...) considering the fact that there were 50 000 people there, not to mention how I always managed to find someone I knew whenever I got separated from my friends and thus never had to spend time alone there - and that happened often, especially with a dead battery! I also managed to find replicas for my Angelica Blick sunglasses, this time with a highlarious text and the cheap price of 5 euros.
Saturday was more calm for us - I went with some fellow ex-IBers, and we got the chance to pose with the Ufoshot bottle with Ina and Jontte and some random dude. Some of us left much earlier from the area to avoid traffic and to get ourselves ready for some clubbing - shots at Shot Bar was fun, especially with the hilarious names that they had. After Shot Bar we headed to Uggla, which was rather peaceful after a long weekend of raving - the bartenders were great as well!
By Sunday Weekend was over and we could relax downtown - my girl Anna (who provided me a place to stay in Espoo for the whole time <3) turned 19, and so by night we got ourselves all dressed up and headed to Tiger for some partying. On Monday, slightly hungover and tired we dressed really casually, went to have lunch at Vapiano (first time there, loved it!) and strolled around the city doing some minor shopping and eating delicious food such as pizza and the best gelato in town at Ciao!Caffe -not to mention their ginormous portions! Late at night it was time to head back to home sweet home, which I in fact missed quite much, especially during the last day. 

Overall I had an amazing time in Helsinki - Weekend Festival was good, the food was great, I met a lot of new and interesting people and got together with some dear friends from Turku as well. I also got to know the Helsinki night life a little better (and spent a horrible amount of money, but let's just focus on the positive side...), not to mention moving and going around the city by myself which really hasn't happened before as I always leave town with friends. Helsinki was good to me, let's just hope that I get the chance to go there soon again!


Siitä on kulunut 3 yötä kun palasin maanantain ja tiistain välisenä yönä takaisin Turkuun Helsingistä, mutta mulla on mennyt hieman aikaa sulatella tätä tapahtumarikasta pidennettyä viikonloppua ihanassa pääkaupungissamme! Torstaina saavuin Helsinkiin iltayhdeksän maissa, ja purattuani tavarani vaihdoin vaatteeni ja menimme Namuun muutamille ennen kotiin palaamista, sillä tarkoitus oli valmistella itsemme henkisesti ja fyysisesti viikonlopun koitoksiin Weekend Festivaaleilla. 
Perjantaina ja Lauantaina oli Weekend ja ai että mulla oli hauskaa!
On uskomatonta, miten monta tuttua Turkulaista bongasin etenkin perjantaina festariyleisön joukosta (valitettavasti myös niitä Turkulaisia joita en millään olisi halunnut nähdä...) ottaen huomioon, että tilaisuus keräsi kuitenkin 50 000 ihmistä yhteen paikkaan puhumattakaan siitä, miten onnistuin aina löytämään jonkun tutun joka kerta kun eksyin kavereistani ja täten en koskaan ollut yksin - ja sitähän tapahtui usein, varsinkin kun itseltäni oli suurin osa päivästä akku puhelimesta loppu! Satuin myös löytämään täydelliset kopiot Angelica Blick-laseistani Weekendin omasta kaupasta, kuitenkin hauskalla tekstillä ja huomattavasti halvemmalla 5 euron hinnalla.
Lauantai oli huomattavasti rauhallisempi - menin alueelle ex-IBläisten kanssa, ja saimme tilaisuuden poseerata Ufoshot-pullon kera kuvakilpailua varten yhdessä Inan, Jonten ja jonkun random jätkän kanssa. Osa meistä lähti alueelta aikaisemmin, sillä halusimme välttää ruuhkat kun edessä oli Helsingin yöelämä - otimme shotteja Shot Barissa mikä oli varsin hauskaa, varsinkin drinkkilistaa lukiessa. Shot Barin jälkeen suuntasimme Ugglaan, missä meno oli varsin rauhallista koko viikonlopun kestäneen reivailun jälkeen - baarimikot olivat ihan mahtavia myös!
Sunnuntaihin mennessä Weekend oli jo ohi, ja tiedossa oli ihanan Annan (joka myös majoitti minut Espooseen koko matkani ajaksi <3) 19. vuotissynttärit. Ensin rentouduimme kaupungilla, ja illalla laitoimme itsemme valmiiksi ja suuntasimme Tigeriin railakkaasti juhlimaan. Maanantaina olo oli lievästi krapulainen ja  väsynyt, joten pistettiin rennot vaatteet päälle ja suunnattiin lounaalle Vapianoon (ensimmäinen kertani siellä, tykkäsin kovasti!). Pyörisimme myös ympäri kaupunkia, tehden pieniä ostoksia ja syöden hyvin muunmuassa pizzaa ja kaupungin parasta italialaista jäätelöä Ciao!Caffessa (puhumattakaan niiden jättiannoksista!). Myöhään illalla oli aika suunnata kohti kotia, mitä oli kieltämättä kova ikävä etenkin viimeisenä päivänä.

Kaiken kaikkiaan mulla oli todella hauskaa Helsingissä - Weekend Festival oli hyvä, ruoka oli mahtavaa, ja tapasin paljon uusia ja mielenkiintoisia ihmisiä sekä treffasin rakkaiden turkulaisten ystävieni kanssa myös. Pääsin myös tutustumaan Helsingin yöelämään paremmin (ja tuhlasin aivan järkyttävän summan rahaa, mutta koitetaan keskittyä niihin positiivisiin asioihin...), puhumattakaan siitä miten paljon tuli liikuttua yksin Helsingissä mikä oli uutta itselleni, sillä yleensä lähden kaupungista joko perheen tai kavereiden kanssa. Helsinki oli ihana minulle, toivotaan että pääsen pian taas käymään siellä!
