New Year's Eve

I had great two days, yesterday and today. I've been having
really great, positive vibe going on and I'm very excited to
enter 2012 and get rockin', because I can sense that this year is
going to be brilliant :)

I went to Nepalese restaurant today for late lunch and to celebrate
the end of this year. My husband's friend Kat came over to Helsinki,
so she and her friend joined us for today's lunch and hunt for
some records and vinyls at the record store.
Pretty great way to finish this year I would say, nice company, nice
food and some music goodies in my hands.

I won't go anywhere to spend this evening crazy partying or something,
I'll just stay at home with my man and have some cozy time with
a glass of champagne, some Lindt chocolate and a good movie :)

HAPPY 2012 PEOPLE! HOPE IT TREATS YOU WELL!!

Today's look

I went to Zara two days ago and I saw this skirt with stars
just on my way out and I was like "WOW!", but I was in
a hurry, so I didn't had time to take a look on it, but I had to
come back yesterday and buy it, because it was so perfect
and so me :) So here you go today's outfit with this beautiful skirt :)

Still no snow in Helsinki and now that Christmas is over and we
didn't had White Christmas, I'm actually fine not having snow
at all :P I know that it will snow at some point during January and
February, but right now I feel like I'm basically ready for Spring!!

How about you guys? Was this too warm or just cool enough
Winter for you?

I'm wearing: Boots - Mjus, Skirt - Zara, Top - Esprit,
Cardigan - Tommy Hilfiger, Leather jacket - Levi's,
Clutch - Mango, Ring - Deni design, Necklace - gift from my mom

2011 recap + some inspiration for New Year's Eve

Hello everyone! Hope that you've all recovered from Christmas
magic, meeting your families, cooking, eating, singing, whatever
it is that you did, I hope that it was great :)
I can't believe that there're basically three full days left until we
enter the New Year 2012!!
To me, it feels as if time flew by super fast! I've barely managed to
turn around and bam, this year is at it's end :P

I can say that I've had pretty awesome year!! I've entered 2011 with
a wish to take lots and lots of photos and have a kick ass photo
exhibition in Helsinki downtown and guess what, I've worked hard
and long this year, but my wishes did come true and I'm so proud
of myself and what I've accomplished.
I did had my ups and downs throughout the whole year, but thanks
to this amazing photo journey I did get to know some really cool new
people, got friends with some of them, got even closer with the friends
I've already had, missed some friends that have moved away, missed
my family in Croatia and Russia, had super short Summer holiday,
did some things and have visited some places I haven't done before, etc.

All in all, this wasn't that bad year at all :) I wish to take my dreams,
work and family relationships on even a higher level of success and happiness
in 2012!!

Today's look and NYFW competition!

Actually this has been my outfit for yesterday and today, but
I've just styled it differently.
Yesterday I had a date with my man at Garlic restaurant, in
Helsinki downtown and the food was delicious!
I've opted for black beanie and "gothic" necklace. Today, I've
decided to go with more "sweet" look and wore headband, bracelet
and lipstick i blood red color :)

We have celebrated today at our apartment with my parents in law
and my close friend. I was so proud and happy to welcome them
in our apartment and serve them home made meals that I've been
cooking and baking for many, many hours yesterday and today :P
