I've got the blues

In the form of turquoise dip dyed hair. What a fun accessory! Unfortunately my camera isn't working properly, so I can't take any pictures of the delish Christmas things I've got up to.. Only 2 days left, everyone!
p.s. I DO, in fact, do other things apart from drink tea with friends. But only because I have to.

Have an enchanting Christmas xx

Musique

Good evening! Decided to continue the list of my favourite little things of with a few tracks I'm more or less crazed about right now. They're each pretty different from each other, but (to me) very easy on ear. Enjoy!   

These are a few of my favourite things

It is the time of the year, when waking up really becomes hard in the morning. It is the time when the sun manages to shine for only a couple of golden hours per day. This, obviously, is extremely hard to cope with, but not to worry! I will not suffer half a year, just because the sun isn't shining, plus nothing can be done about it, so why worry? :) My solution to this pickle was to start posting about things I am in love with at the moment. Oh, how there are many things, I realise! To begin with, I wanted to share some stunning black and whites, which so often leave me in awe. Enjoy x

YES, I also absolutely love the Lion King. So emotional!

My poor kitty, Oscar, has to put up with me performing this ritual to him every morning..

Cosy Times

Autumny pictures from a (very) casual last Friday afternoon taken by either me or Hanna.

I have been so tired today and have had an annoying headache, that my only plans are to watch "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and sleep.. I might even skip the movie haha I'm quite worn out (from er having a headache..). Anyhoo I wish all the best. Have a lovely rest of the weekend x

P.S. I'm crazy happy, because my favourite band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, is coming to Finland next summer. So happy!!

Images 1-12

Evening!

Just had to reblog some images from probably my favourite blog. I always go completely silent when I visit Shits & Giggs and this time was no exeption. Sorry for the lack of proper text... I'm suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and it's dark and cold out. Hopefully the weather is better wherever you are!

Trip Down Memory Lane

Found this stunning editorial a few days ago, but only got round to posting it today. I love the colours and contrasts.. for a split second, I almost wanted to colour my hair scarlet! Luckily, however, I pictured myself with red hair and realised it not to be a good idea. At all. Pictures three and four are probably my favourite... Just beautiful.

These pictures were taken for Red Magazine's September/October issue by Violaine Chapallaz, styled by Astrid Schilders and modelled by the gorgeous Irma Weij & the lovely Lotus.

Let's Play

Golden cuffs from a flea market

MWAH so happy about our week's Autumn break! Just returned from Sweden earlier today, where my sisters and mother spent a cold, but nice day. Really my only target was to get to Urban Outfitters as quickly as possible.. And hah, boy was it worth it! It's just my favourite shop, and there are few things I like more than to browse through (extensive) racks of gooorge clothes and accesories. When I finally walked out, I was accompanied by a new skirt, shirt (both pictured above), golden dangly cross earings and a satisfied smile.
    After a bit of materialistic fun, we headed to one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I probably would never have discovered this place, which looked like a normal door into an old building, but let me tell you, this was some of the best food I've had in quite some time - and all vegetarian! Bean salads, hummus, lasagne, delish breads with spreads and many other dishes, of which I'm not too sure what to call them. Very tasty. Hope all of you have been enjoying yourselves, if not during holiday, than during school/work!

Chills

Yesterday was autumn at its finest. After a long session of arts at school, I met my best friend for tea (and a cinnamon bun - love) at one our favourite cafés in town. Sitting by a charming boulevard shadowed by orange-leaved trees and sipping tea with good company is how autumn really should be spent, if you ask me! For a second I almost forgot that I was in Helsinki.. or maybe I just got to like it a bit more.

      As I was cycling back, I stopped to take the scenery pictures in which you can see the sun setting right at the back. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery before I managed to catch a photo really capturing the sunset.. Ah well!

Morning Light

I couldn't leave these photos unposted... The sky was just gorgeus! It's little things like these that make getting up at 6.00(ish) o'clock that much easier. These kinds of pretty mornings barely occur anymore (the photos were taken last week) and Finland will have to start waking up in the same conditions they went to bed in... Enjoying the beautiful autumn while it lasts!

All the best x 

P.S. Bean salad? YESYES
