Vive le chill

What a week! Only four days of school behind me and already I'm dreaming after the easygoing, yet exciting days of leisure, when all I needed to think about was what I'd like to do and what I'd like to eat (food for life). I guess it's just the whole hassle of getting back to school and having to do more, that has got me on edge.. I'm sure this will pass and I'll be able to focus more on making the best effort I can in what I do. Just having these two free days has made me feel better and more refreshed.
This image untangles my brain every time I feel I need help with doing so. Now that I think about it, this image could be slightly disturbed, but for someone like me who loves water, weightlessness and chandeliers, it's spot on. Let's get busy.

Ps. Alt-J works. Always.

Keeping It Surreal

Thursdays have never come this good. I've never been a fan of this particular day, but yesterday's brunch in the park was a real table turner. My friend and I met up for some freshly baked seedy croissants, salads, quality coffees and a slice of devilish cheesecake (numz). To top it all off, we banged some Frank Ocean through the speakers and even caught a glimpse of the sun! Here are some captured memories.

Slow down and enjoy.

City Is My Church

Bonsoir and a good Sunday to all!
I have had a brilliant weekend with my friends sailing through the city I know best - Helsinki. I feel like it had been too long since I'd walked THESE streets and felt THIS city, so the Kallio Block Party was just the ticket for me! I didn't seem to be the only one up for celebrating the bohemian part of town, though. The main street of Kallio was heaving with people looking more and more eccentric and I loved it. If there's one thing I love the most in Helsinki's block parties, it's observing people and their outfits. Unfortunately I was too much of a a squid to remember my camera as I left, so all you can do is trust me and let your imagination run wild.
Today I went on a walk to soak up this beautiful natural light. Ah, I'm a sucker for crisp and gentle sunlight! On my way back I couldn't help but take a few pictures with my (poor) phone camera, in attempt to give some sort of an idea about what I mean with this light thing. Below are pictures of what I wore yesterday and of my Sunday stroll. As an added treat, I've added pictures from Friday evening's Asian feast, made with love by myself and my friend, Eero. I do have to apologize for the somewhat awful quality of these pictures.

Our shrimp miso ramen, dumplings and fried sesame seed tofu rocked my world.

Let's have a great week.

Minor Thing

Well not really. I'll finally be doing something I've dreamt for for the past howmanyyears - going to a Red Hot Chili Peppers gig. Ooh! Tomorrow's a big day for a girl like me and I can't wait! The silly thing is that I only realised it's tomorrow yesterday.. Well at least I've got everything ready! (wishful thinking)
To continue on the RHCP theme, here are some of my favourite pictures of the band; some old and some new. Hey oh!

Caught In The Lights

Hello again! I'm back.
I decided to get over one of my fears - blogging. It sounds silly, but for the last six months or so I've been dreading blogger and blogs, since they reminded me of my lack of blogging. I ignored them to my best abilities, for the whole reason I began blogging was to develop my writing and thus figure out if it really is what I'd possibly like to form a career out of. I probably would've carried on in my ways, if I would not have had a chat with a few very important people. Now I've (hopefully) pulled myself together and am back in action. Let's play blog.

These pictures were taken in the breathtaking Dorset, England, where I spent some quality time with my extended family. The photos were taken by Katie Jonzen and the dress and shoes are both from Weekday. (   <3 )

Afterlife

 Zombie boy/Skeleton man etc. aka Rick Genest really is pretty cool.

Sunny Sundays and the last laughs

 morning

evening

The past week here in Helsinki has been the ski break of students. For most this means going either to Lapland or the Alps to ski, but me it meant a social celibate at my cottage. I did manage to go cross country skiing though, which made things a wee bit better. 

I'll leave you with my obsession; embellished collars. I think it could be taken further than just plain shirts - I'm thinking a warm fluffy winter coat in a pastel shade with a small fur collar. cuute.
