Stockholm photo diary

Good Sunday afternoon everybody!
I'm slowly recovering from the trip to Stockholm. I didn't
sleep much during our stay there, we have walked for hours every day
and while having fun and meeting some lovely people, I still haven't
managed to wine down before the next crazy two weeks kick-start
tomorrow.
There're only TWO weeks left until the moving day to Los Angeles
and there're way too many things still to take care of and days are
too short... I hope that I can manage to do as much as I can... There's
only that much that a human can do in a certain amount of time.

I'd like to share a photo diary of our trip to Stockholm and give you
couple of recommendations on what to see/ visit, where to shop and
eat...
I've been already couple of times posting photo diaries and tips about
Stockholm, so I won't be now going into too detailed descriptions, but
I hope that I will manage to make you interested in this gem of a city,
def. one of my favourite cities in Europe.

Here we go:

-streets of Stureplan, beautiful neighbourhood in the heart of the city

-dining at Lebanon Meza Lounge restaurant, an outstanding Lebanese cuisine
WEBSITE

- waking up to this kind of view every morning was SO worth staying at Radisson Blu Waterfront

- the best shopping can be done at NK, from clothes, accessories, to groceries, they have it
all and the best in whole Stockholm

- walk through Gamla Stan ( old part of the city, so historical!! )

- having lunch at an authentic Italian, Paganini restaurant
WEBSITE

- romantic evening walk through the city

- visiting Peppi the Longstocking world is a must!
WEBSITE

- Swedish drama teather

- Nordic museum

- our favourite cafe in Stockholm is FRESCO and our go-to order is
Chèvre salad with figs and avocado and Focaccia with a side salad

- after Fresco, we always end up at Laduree shop next door for a desert :)

-bye bye Stockholm, I will miss you!

Outfit post - Outbound

Yaaaay! It's Wednesday and I'm off to Stockholm today!!
First, I'll sip on some hot water with freshly squeezed lemon
juice ( my ritual every morning ), check what's new at
Net - A - Porter, jump in the shower and then take off to the airport.

I always have great time in Stockholm and that is one of my
favourite cities in the world, so I can't wait to land there later
on today.
You can follow my trip adventures on my Instagram.

Here's an outfit which I wore yesterday! The sun came out and
it got so warm that I had no problems wearing my new sneakers
which I got some time ago and couldn't wait for the proper moment
to "break them out" of my shoe-shelf!

I hope that you will like the way I've styled this look, it was totally
new approach to daytime outfit for me but I felt very comfortable in
it and have def. found a new love for sneakers!

Have a great day my dear readers and stay tuned for a Stockholm
photo diary. :)

I'm wearing: Sneakers - Stan Smith + Adidas, Jeans & blouse - Acne,

Outfit post - Living for love

It's Monday morning, I'm up early and am

about to go to the gym! I feel like I need a good 

session on a running belt and cross trainer.
This always helps me set the beginning of the week in 

the right tone. 

It's also my "natural" way on keeping warm when it's 

cold outside as I feel the hot waves for couple of hours 

after the workout. :D Secrets to living in the nordic countries! 

I'm very much looking forward to Wednesday as I'll take 

off to Stockholm, Sweden and that's one of my favourite cities 

in the world. I've been there many times in the past 7 years, but 

I always love to visit it over and over again. 

You can expect some nice photos of Stockholm adventures on 

my Instagram and also a travel diary here on the blog! :) 

I hope that you will like today's outfit, def. let me know what you 

think about it! I felt like layering it and mixing in few different pieces
while hoping that it will all make sense once I put it together. :D 

I'd like to wish you all a productive working week and am sending
much love to you all! :)

I'm wearing: Boots - Vagabond, Jeans - Diesel, Sweater - COS,

Gourmet moment : Guacamole

Good Sunday everybody!
Any lovers of avocado over here?? I'm SO avobsessed!! :D
Avocado in anything, anywhere, anytime and I'm gonna be the
first one to jump in and start munching. :)

My favourite way to have avocado is in guacamole, it beats any
sandwich spread or salad "sauce" because it's super healthy and so easy
to prepare.

This is the way how I like to prepare it, but I do "adjust" it from time
to time, depending on if I feel like I need more spiciness or so...

Let me know how you like this recipe and if you love avocado as
much as I do! :D

You'll need:

-1 avocado
-1 tomato or three cherry tomatoes
-1 garlic clove
-pinch or two of himalayan crystal salt
-pinch or two of ground black pepper
-cilantro
-1 teaspoon of lime juice

Put pitted avocado into a bowl, squeeze some lime juice, 

add minced garlic clove, cilantro and salt+pepper. 

Mash everything with fork and then chop up your 

tomato and add it to the avocado bowl. 

Mix everything together and your guacamole is ready! 

You can always add more spice/ herbs, such as 

chilli, oregano, dill, whatever your heart desires.

Eat your guacamole as a spread on an open sandwich, 

eat it as a dip with tortilla chips or make it as a topping 

or sauce for your salad.

Outfit post - Boho chic date

Hello Friday! I've been missing you
ever since the last week. :)
Today was a really nice day because the sun finally
came out and instantly made the whole city look so pretty!
I've come to appreciate the sun and daylight on a whole
new level ever since moving to Helsinki and experiencing
the "never-ending" darkness during the Fall and Winter months.

Another thing that made this Friday a really lovely one is
the fact that I finally got a proper amount of sleep and I feel
so refreshed!

When it comes to this outfit, I've been playing with different
"date day" combos and I have fell in love with this boho chic one
the most. It's so me and it's SO something I'll re-create again this
weekend for a lunch date with my man.
He has birthday on this Sunday and we'll go for a date to our
favourite Japanese restaurant. Can't wait!

What are your plans for this weekend?

Stay warm and safe everybody! Thank you so much for all of the sweet
and supportive words that you left on my previous post, it made me feel
so much better!
Sending you all many kisses! :)

Outfit post - Yellow Flicker Beat

Good morning sweethearts!
I hope that you're having a good week so far and that
the weather isn't as silly where you're at as it is in Helsinki.
Slush is everywhere and the sleet keeps on falling constantly...
I'm so ready for the LA weather.
I can't stop looking at photos of the palm trees and beautiful sunsets
that LA had lately.

You know what guys? I'm shitting my pants to be honest...
I'm so ready to open the doors of this new chapter in my life and
at the same time I'm so anxious about the move that I haven't slept
at all for the past 4-5 days. Eating boxes of ice cream and different
sweets didn't help either in getting a good sleep... :D

One thing that I keep on telling myself is that famous quote:
"If your dreams don't scare you, it means that you're not dreaming
big enough." Whoever said it, they totally knew what they were saying,
this is SO true and it also makes me see better that this is the only right
thing for me to do at this point in my life.
Another thing would be to stay unhappy with the "ordinary" life that
is so "known" and "safe"... Thanks, but no thanks!

Oh!! One beautiful thing happened yesterday! Thanks to my friend, who's
working on my complete blog re-design, I got my name/ blog registered
so soon, after everything is ready, this blog won't be a "blogspot" anymore,
it will be a ".com" and we're also moving over to wordpress which will give
me much needed face-lift to this lovely little blog o'mine.
Stay tuned girls, I'm positive that fabulous times are coming... I just need to
get some good quality sleep first. :D

I'm wearing: Boots - Hunter, Tights - Falke, Skirt - H&M, Beanie - Boss Orange,
Jacket - Zara, Top - Free People, Scarf - COS, Bag - Givenchy, Coat - Isabel Marant

Outfit post - Blank space

Good Monday morning everybody!
Are you ready for the new working week?
I definitely am, besides work and daily life's errands,
I also need to start selling, giving away clothes, furniture,
toys and pack my "life" into boxes. I have 26 days on me to
get everything taken care of and ready to go to another continent.
Thank you everybody for all of the nice and heartwarming
messages and wishes on my move and new chapter that will
start in my life, it definitely makes me feel more at ease and
gives a nice "wind" in my back.

Fighting spirit is in the full mode and I hope that I'll keep on
inspiring you via my blog as well as through my photos.
Can't wait to have new photo shoots lined up. I've been missing
shootings and creating my own fine art photos...
It's been a while and I definitely got very "hungry" to start
shooting again.

This was an outfit which I wore yesterday and even though
the slush outside was awful, my dear Hunters came in so handy
and I even came into "danger" of jumping into muddy puddles. :D
White sweater is probably the last winter piece that I will add to my
wardrobe for a long time to come, since my mind is now 100% set
on only investing into summer clothes and shoes.

Have a great day people!

I'm wearing: Boots - Hunter, Jeans - Tiger of Sweden, Sweater - Samuji,
