Christmas market in hazy Helsinki

The city was twinkling. Lights, smiles and mittens everywhere. Had it been a bit warmer — well, one can dream, right. The Christmas markets are an annual thing in my family and therefor I enjoy walking through them year after year, never to really buy a thing. The dark fell after four...

breeze, freeze, winter

Cold, cold, cold, so cold. That's the only thought walking through the icy city. At one point I can't feel my face anymore. Just take the lyrics of Taylor's Out of the Woods and change the word "woods" to "cold" and you get my attitude against winter. It's not fun anymore when all you...

happily ever autumn

Freezing wind, bare nature, grey tones and the darkness. Autumn is almost over. It's been, honestly, the best autumn in very many ways. It's been unforgettable, to say at least. It's been such an amazing summer and autumn I'm actually looking forward to winter. Well, I'm going to Australia for...

cotton candy and kisses

Last Friday we went to Linnanmäki, an amusement park in Helsinki. To celebrate the end of the season there's a light show every year. Running under all the beautiful lights, stuffing cotton candy in our mouths and screaming from the bottom of my heart on the top of a roller coaster...

maple leaves

Literally every single tone of the yellow-red spectrum covered the pavements as we walked to the woods. I hadn't seen Paci for over a month which, to be honest, felt like years as we grew really close this summer. It was just lovely to catch up and break some news. It's actually really...

snap!

I looove autumn. It's the millionth time I've said it during this week but I just cannot help it. Oh, the colours and the breeze warm my heart along side with the hot cup of liquid. And as the leaves turn brown I turn full-on hipster. The hat is what I've been so very excited about...

Kellokoski in autumn rain

Okay, hi. I'm very not busy but in retrospect I'm extremely happy. This little car ride to Kellokoski took place a few weeks ago already but I haven't got around to jot down any thoughts — which is so not like me at all. I'm known the person writing or otherwise documenting every...

Mustio crayfish party & brunch

The autumn is here! I had already forgotten how freaking much I love this season! It's all about light knits and dusky colours. It seems not everyone agrees that the summer is basically over so on the weekend when I attended an annual crayfish party I built my outfit around my ever-so-gorgeous...

summer celebrations

It's the confirmation celebration season! On Saturday I attended two coffee-and-cake kind of parties on our street. It turned out to be a surprisingly warm and summary. I was still not completely convinced so I pulled on this gorgeous Ted Baker sweater I got for my birthday in the beginning...

of farewells

It's easy to say goodbye to someone who's staying. It's easy when you're the one who's leaving. You're going to somewhere new while the others are stuck with the same old same. This time I'm staying and it's harder than I thought. It's also hard to stop when you've got the taste of running. I'm...

hello, riviera

Welcome to Cannes. This is where the rich people come to show off their Louis Vuittons and to lay on the white sand imported. This is where I stand in my most expensive shorts and a white collar shirt mimicking Grace Kelly the best I can. It's a very pretentious and highly hypocritical...
