Outfit post - Alice and Olivia

Good Wednesday afternoon everyone!!
It's finally a sunny and warm day in Helsinki and sure have
enjoyed it very much :)
My morning started by going to the bank and paying a deposit
for the school I'm going to attend this coming Fall.
I won't tell you yet much about it, but I'm so excited to share more
sometime soon because this is a very big wish of mine and it's
going to come true.

Tomorrow is reserved for a workout in the morning, some work and
taking care of few errands I've been putting off for a couple of days now.
One of the main errands that needs to be taken care of is to get all of
the props for my upcoming photo shoot next Monday.
Yep, after a short break which started just before the exhibition opening,
I'm now ready for new photo shoots and I can't wait to share them with you :)

Here's an outfit which I wore over the last weekend to these b-day parties
that I've mentioned in my previous post.
I got this dress from Alice and Olivia store in NYC last Summer and I wore
it only few times. I love it, it's absolutely perfect dress in my mind!

What are you/ have been up to today?

I'm wearing: Shoes - Calvin Klein, Dress - Alice & Olivia, Clutch - Mango,
Earrings - Chanel, Ring&cuff - HOH1960

Outfit post - Chanel

Good Monday morning everyone!!
How was your weekend? Tell me all about it, I love
hearing from you :)

I had a lovely weekend, Saturday was all about unpacking
from the London trip, washing, drying and ironing tons of
clothes and also meeting a friend of a friend which happened
to be in Helsinki for a workshop all the way from Croatia.
So cool, world is such a small place :)

Yesterday, Sunday was reserved for two kids' birthday parties
and it was so nice to be part of them. Just that excitement and
happiness that kids have on their birthday parties is "infectious"
in a good way and it reminded me how little you actually need
to be happy and feel special :)

Today, I have some errands to run and clean my apartment, but
hopefully later I can go for a nice walk to the nearby park in my
neighbourhood and have a cup of tea or something.
The weather hasn't been so good in Helsinki ( and not in London
either ) so I can't wait for the summer holidays and lots of beach time.

Here's a new outfit post which I wore on Saturday. As I've mentioned,
the weather wasn't so good, so I had to layer the clothes and wear the
long sleeves so that I don't get too cold :/
Chanel bag is a new addition to my family of favourite bags and it was
a present from my husband for our upcoming anniversary.
Time flies so fast, it's crazy!

Have a great day dear ladies!!

I'm wearing: Shoes - Asos, Jeans & cardigan - Diesel, Bag - Chanel,
Top - Bash, Blazer - MMM for H&M

London diary

Hello my dear readers!
I came back from London and I can't wait to already go back
for some more adventure :) It's absolutely impossible to do everything
you want to/ have in plan to do in London in only 4 days, esp. if you're
travelling with a little child, like I did.
However, we did managed to do a lot of things and see some amazing
places. I'm so thankful for a possibility to travel and discover some new
places that for me, were existing only in the newspapers or internet :)

First day of the trip was the day of arrival too, so we didn't had much time
for anything, except getting a little bit lost in Soho and going for a dinner
to a Michelin star restaurant Yauatcha.
Dim sums are out of this world delicious as well as their noodles! Next time
when I go there I'll def. try out their cakes which look like a little masterpieces :)

When we woke up next morning, we went to our favourite spot for breakfast,
Le Pain Quotidien! All of their food is so  healthy, organic and they have great
options for vegetarians.

Next, we were onto a shopping trip/ sightseeing of the city before we finally
ended up at Jamie Oliver's Italian for lunch. The place was nice and was easy
to find, but the food was nothing spectacular. I was expecting more from his
restaurant, but maybe some other of his restaurants are better than the one I've
been to on Piccadilly Circus.

The rest of the day was dedicated to some more shopping and sightseeing
as well as a trip to Harrods for a cake at Laduree :)

Third morning kicked off by going to see London Aquarium, London Eye,
Big Ben and Houses of Parliament. They're all located next to each other,
so it was very easy to check all of them on the same trip.
London Aquarium was really amazing! I love going to these kind of places
and this aquarium was so impressive! I've never seen that big sharks or
fishes in my life :)

For lunch we chose to go to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant Maze Grill.
The food was everything I have hoped for and even more :)
He truly is a food god!

Some more sightseeing and strolling through the city ended our day 3 on our
London adventure.

Morning of day 4 started at Le Pain Quitidien and then continued by taking
a sub from Oxford Circus to Madame Tussauds. I have been to NYC one
and was very much looking forward to check out the London one.
It was great and def. worth the visit.

We had lunch at vegetarian Indian restaurant Woodlands and everything
was perfect. I liked it a lot.
After the lunch we went to the biggest toy store Hamley's for some unique
toy shopping experience :) Little one was so impressed and happy to shop there!

We did some more sightseeing of the city after the toy shopping. We were still
supposed to have a dinner at a special restaurant but then decided to skip it as we
were all pooped out from walking for hours and hours every day of our trip and
we had an early wake up call the next morning.

Here're some photos from the trip :)

Good morning world!
It's a beautiful and promising beginning of the new week.
Oh how I love the freshness and possibility of starting over.
Every day is an opportunity to do something you've been planning
or wanting to do but haven't up until now. Well, now you can or could :D
Just try it, give yourself some small goals and you'll see how much
you can succeed to accomplish over next few weeks :)

I'm not going to write much as I still have to finish packing for
my London trip. I've been planning this trip for a long time now and
I'm so happy to finally visit London today!
I have a long list of things I'm going to do, places I'm going to see
and restaurants that I'm going to eat at.
If you wish to stay updated on my London adventure follow my
 INSTAGRAM  and of course this blog, as I'll be posting regularly :)

Have a great day dear girls!!

Outfit post - I see fire

Good morning world!!
It's a rainy morning over here in Helsinki but that's not going
to slow me down :) I have couple of things planned for today
and one of them is to go to movies and check out highly awaited
Maleficent movie. I always get so inspired by movies and fairytales
and it's been a while since I went to cinema, so I'm excited about it :)

Next week I'm flying to London and that's another thing that I'm
SO looking forward to. I will be there only for a few days so my
schedule is pretty packed as there's so much to see/ do/ dine in London.
Expect a London diary on daily basis :)

I'm gonna jump in the shower now and get going, so take care everyone
and have a great Thursday!

Outfit post - I did it to myself...

Good Monday everyone!!
I'm a bit late with my blog posts, but I had quite chaotic
times with my exhibition closing, selling my old apartment and
such. A lot can happen in such a short time and at times I have hard
times to organise myself "on the go" and make schedules, esp. since
it has to include another two persons and not just myself.
However, I did pulled through it and I woke up feeling great and
energised this morning so I went straight to the gym and for a coffee with
my sister afterwards.
The weather in Helsinki has been lovely for a while and I couldn't be more
happier to wake up to sunshine every morning :)

This is the outfit which I wore on the last day of my exhibition. It was
sad to take the photos off of the gallery's walls, but I know that an amazing
future is awaiting for me and there's so much to look forward to.
I'M BURSTING of wish to tell you all about it, but I can't reveal anything yet :D
Soon, soon!

This t-shirt is one of my favourite pieces which I bought lately. It's by Vika
Gazinskaya which she did in collaboration with &otherstories, one of my
favourite high street brands rising from mighty swedish fashion scene which is
absolutely getting more and more inspiring each year.

Have a great day girls and talk to you soon!

I'm wearing: Bag - Mansur Gavriel, Shorts - Lindex, Tee - Vika Gazinskaya &otherstories,
Jacket - Zara, Sunnies - Ray Ban, Bracelets - Accessorize, Sandals - Vagabond,
Earrings & ring - House of Harlow 1960

Helsinki's weather has been heavenly for a few days now!
I'm so, SO happy to wake up to sun rays in the morning and
go to sleep with still lots of daylight outside. My favourite thing about Finland
are "endless" Summer days :)

Besides having an amazing and warm weather, I have been planning
my Summer holidays and can't wait to finally book all the flights and
hotels as this Summer has to be amazing. I really need a quality time off to
recharge my batteries. It's been a long and very hard year (counting from the last
Summer holidays) and plenty of time by the sea will do me good I believe! :)

That being mentioned, I have bought some new clothes recently which will be perfect
for Summer/ beach time and one of the pieces I got was this dress.
It's by Mango and I absolutely love it. It's so light and "flowy", just what I needed :)

My photo exhibition is closing tomorrow, which is such a bitter-sweet thing but
I'm not complaining, there's so much coming in future for me that I have no
time to be "sad" about the exhibition being over already.
It's been my most visited and praised exhibition so far and it was very interesting
to hear people's opinions on my works. I was overwhelmed with all the response
that I got which I think made it this hard for me to face the closing day tomorrow.

Anyhow, I hope that you're having a great day wherever you are and remember one
thing -> Keep on dreaming and believing, miracles do exist and wishes do come true :)

I'm wearing: Sandals - Tommy Hilfiger, Dress - Mango, Jeans jacket - Diesel,
