HOME

Oh my, what a day, or 24 hours to be exact! Today we finally got back home from our three week trip, spent in North America! We have been to Naples and my old home town Ottawa. One of my best friends got married, and her wedding was nothing but a big old fat italian wedding ;D! I got the honor to be one of her bridesmaids and the whole day was magical and so special. 

Greta has been the best traveller one could only wish for, and she played and slept through all the flights back and forth. She didn't cry once, unbelievable!

I am absolutely out of it today and can't wait to catch up on some sleep in my own bed next to my favorite people (only Lilo missing :(), so I hope you forgive me if I'll get back to you tomorrow ;). You'll get the biggest picture bomb ever in exchange, so watch out!

Do you remember when I said that I had purchased something as an addition to my little collection? I finally bought this Louis Vuitton pochette metis bag, because I really really love it and I couldn't get it out of my head! It's perfect for mommy's on the go because it releases both hands without sacrificing in style and I can fit everything I need in it (I always carry Greta's belongings in a diaper bag in addition to my purse). I think this model is fun and classic and the monogram will never get old and go out of style. It's also perfect for traveling since it goes with everything and can be worn for both day and night, with or without the strap. What more can I say? I simply adore it!

Me, my style and I

Have you seen the feature of me, my style and my home in the June issue of Trendi magazine? For the first time ever, I am completely 100% pleased with the result. I am quite shy to do any kind of interviews, but this time I am so happy I did. The result is beautiful, simple and real, and I love all the beautiful pictures. Well done Sara K and Trendi team!

make a statement

Even though I like quite simple looks without a lot of extra "fuzz", I have become a little bit friendlier with the thought of adding a statement piece of jewelry to an otherwise simple outfit. A bold necklace, bracelet, cocktail ring or earrings can sometimes add that extra something to a minimalistic look and make it interesting, fun and elegant at the same time. If I go for a big statement piece like this, I always leave out all other jewelry to make sure there is only one focus point in the outfit. This necklace is from andiata and for sure deserves to shine on it´s own, which is why I chose to pair it with an all black outfit and my funky prada sunnies.

Happy Midsummer

something borrowed/ almost stolen

A few weeks ago we were invited to a lovely dinner with friends and a many kids ;). We had the best time, and we all laughed at the fact that life, including nice dinner parties have changed a lot since having children. The men were discussing strollers and other necessities, diapers were changed under the table and kids falling a sleep on the balcony, on the couch and at the table (except for little miss sunshine who never gets tired of socializing). To the point, I wore a silk blouse to dinner and because of a nursing accident I got to borrow this white sweatshirt from the host. I totally fell in love with it and wore it several times before I had to call my friend and meet up with her before I totally worn it out! It's from bikbok and there is nothing special about it really, except that it seems to work with pretty much everything. I love it, and my dear friend who was kind enough to lend it to me and actually offered to give it to me ;P! Now the sweatshirt is back with her mama and I have a better conscience and a less heavy heart for borrowing it for so long ;). Love and peace!

my health, diet and fitness

I have gotten many questions about my diet and fitness routine, so I thought it was about time to make a post about the subject. 

But first…
I know that many of you followed my old blog, and I am really happy you've found your way back to this one ;D. Although, I just want to point out that in this blog I mainly post my daily outfits as the name of this blog inquires, so there won't be as many personal writings as in the old one. I want to keep this blog all about fashion and I want to protect my privacy and keep my private life private. I just wanted to clear this out since I know many of you enjoyed to read about nutrition and other subjects I used to write about.
I am not saying I won't write about these things in this blog at all, but not as much ;).
I hope you understand <3.

Below, I've collected some thoughts, feelings and facts about my lifestyle :).

When it comes to my fitness and diet, I don't have any specific diet or routine I live by. I like healthy food and I always prefer fresh, simple food with fresh ingredients. I eat everything! I eat meat, carbs, gluten, sugar, fat and milk products, but I always prefer fresh food over fast food. I love to eat a lot of veggies with a side of fish/ chicken and some kind of carb (potato, rice, pasta…). I eat plenty of veggies, fruits, berries and fish ;D. I don't follow any kind of diet and I don't restrict myself from eating anything.
I don't like greasy food and I also dislike all kinds of dressings and cold sauces.

I eat a lot (big portions but healthy), and I drink plenty of water.
Water is my favorite drink!

I don't drink any alcohol, because I don't like it.
I rarely drink juice or pop.

I am active every day. I usually work out 4-5 times a week doing spinning classes, cross training (not cross fit), strength training, body pump, running (as much as my knees allow, I've had knee surgery and my knees are quite bad), walking, you name it! At the moment (post pregnancy) I power walk every morning for an hour to an hour and a half. I walk in snow, rain and sunshine (no excuses ;)).
I stay active because I need to move my body to feel good, and I find it relaxing for my head, mind and soul.

I take days off whenever I feel like I need to, but I walk almost every day because it's not heavy exercise. 

I think fresh air is extremely important for every human being!

I love coffee and I miss being able to drink as much as I want to ( I allow myself 2 cups/ day while breast feeding). I eat a piece (piece differs in size depending on the day;)) of chocolate almost every day because I love it! I don't have to explain myself more than that right ;)?

Breakfast is my favorite time of the day, and I usually enjoy my coffee in bed while my husband plays with Greta before he goes to work<3. 

I like to be in shape but I don't stare at the scale, and I never obsess about food, weight gain or weight loss. I am quite tired of discussing weight and diets in general really.
 My goal is to feel good (also about how I look), being healthy, energetic and strong, enjoy life and  to create a balance. I listen to my body. I was never on a diet to loose my baby weight and I didn't focus on loosing it either!!! 

I love enjoying a good meal with friends and family, and the company and time spent at the table is more important than the food itself. 

I love dessert <3.

My summer passion

This is my all time favorite hot summer day drink, Starbucks passion ice tea (no added sugar)! I love the fact that we have Starbucks in Helsinki now too, since it reminds me of my second home in Canada. So, all I wanted to say was  you have to try this drink, it's so fresh and yummy <3!
