Deco

I'm sorry I've been a little slow with the updates. I've been busy doing things around the house and playing with Greta. These past two days have passed by so fast, and I'm afraid summer will be over in a blink of an eye, so I'm trying to soak in as much sunlight and warm weather as possible. 

I wanted to take the time to show you my latest purchases for our home. This vase is from Tine K and I'm incredibly happy I got it, because it looks so cute on our kitchen table! Fresh, beautiful flowers make me really happy, so this vase will play a big role in my everyday life :).

While I've been decorating our new home, I've come to realize how much I appreciate and love art. What people decide to hang up on the wall, tells a lot about the person. We have a very mixed art collection in our apartment, but every single piece is carefully chosen, feels meaningful and speaks to me in it's own way. We have everything from old oil paintings to modern abstract art.

I knew I wanted another nice modern piece, and I completely fell for this photograph of Sienna Miller by Mario Testino. She looks gorgeous in it, and I love both the statues and the feeling of high fashion. I'm also dreaming of the beautiful painting of Greta Garbo by Einar Nerman that I once fell in love with at Bukowskis.

all that glitters

After taking these pictures last weekend, I realized how pale I was so I went straight to the tube for a quick fix ;). I actually love being light, but somehow I prefer just a little bit of glow on my legs during summer. 

This is exactly how I like to dress for a dinner or night out (although I never go out, hehe)! I completely love this glittery cardi, and I even think it's suitable for daytime if properly styled and matched. I think the secret lays in the fact that the sequins are more matt which makes the overall look more rock- chic. I get the Kate Moss vibe, and I love it!

This top is also surprisingly nice, even though I've had a hard time with the shiny fabric. It's made out of 100% silk which makes it feel divine. I also have it in white, so you can expect an outfit post coming up wearing it anytime soon;).

How do you like to dress for a night out?

size matters

Anyone else feeling kinda hot lately? Haha, I can't believe this weather this summer, from winter to extreme heat within a couple months! I walk around wearing as little as possible and I still sweat like a pig, and feel like I need to undress to my birthday suite instantly as soon as I step outside the door! 

Today I've had a really good day. This morning I took care of a few errands before I walked 5 km to my sister's, to spend the day with her and Greta. We just hang out at home and enjoyed a salad and coffee before I walked back home. Later this afternoon I met up with bestie downtown, and now I've just put Greta to bed. I've had a super relaxed day, and I've really enjoyed it. Tomorrow I'll have to be a bit more effective ;).

What I wanted to show you, are my new sunglasses! I have more Ray bans than I dare to admit, but I've wanted these huge, classic pilot's for a while now. These are brown with gold hardware and they are the largest size. I love Ray bans because they go with everything, and they usually make the outfit more down to earth and casual. I'm also making a separate sunglass post about my favorite Ray bans, that I'll post tomorrow morning.

I hope you all had a good day and I wish you a good night, despite the heat :).

Country girl

Hello you! Right this moment, I'm sitting in the car on my way home from the cabin. It's been a lovely weekend and we've been so blessed with warm and sunny weather! It's been around 30°C all  week, and even though it might be difficult to fall a sleep at night, I love it! 

This summer has been and continuously is, filled with family gatherings, festivities and parties, and I have taken a ridiculous amount of photos of Greta's first summer experiences of yearly family traditions. I can't even imagine that next year she'll already be running around with her cousins and grandparents, and talking. Time flies to say the least! 

When we get home I have about an hour to shower and get ready for the next family get- together with my dad and his better half ;).  I´ll talk to you again soon, but until then I want to wish you a fun, playful and sunny Sunday!

LOVE

Catching the light with Vilma

It's difficult to write about my friend and model co-worker Vilma, without sounding to cheesy. She is a wonderful photographer, has a super beautifully implemented blog, she is gorgeous like few and she's genuine, friendly, smart and incredibly nice and interesting to be around! Some people just seem to have it all. Vilma does :D! Vilma asked me if we could shoot a test together and I of course said yes. These picture are taken one week ago in the sunset at Eiran ranta. There was quite a lot of people around, but we tried to not let it bother. Vilma also published pictures on her blog together with a funny interview of me (in finnish). You find the whole story here!

A week ago, me and THIS beauty did a test shoot together. Her behind the camera and me in front. Picture bomb to come. Stay tuned!

One of my readers asked if I could show more of Greta's outfits here on the blog, and because your wish is my command, I thought I'd share this one that she wore the other day. I love Kappahl's newbie collection and I could almost say that it is where I buy most of her clothes, and flea markets of course ;). I love the fact that they have nice and soft materials and that they have other colors than just pink for girls! I love to dress Greta in different shades of blue, and I actually think that the majority of her clothes are blue :). What's your favorite place to shop for your babies?

A walk to remember

I have waited almost a lifetime (slightly exaggerated:)) to get to hang out with my bestie, but last night we finally had a chance to get together. It was like a million degrees outside and the sunset perfect, so we decided to head towards Mattolaituri. When we met up we both started laughing when we realized that we were both dressed exactly the same, like so many times before. 

We barely finished our smoothies before we wanted some more privacy and went for a walk instead. We walked around talking about all and nothing and just enjoyed the beautiful summer night. These are the kind of night's I want to remember a few months from now when it's dark and freezing cold outside.

Love

Good morning! Yesterday we celebrated our anniversary. We have now been married for two years and together for six. It is needless to say that I am so incredibly happy that I found this man to share my life with. He makes me feel so loved and special every single day, he is the best father one could only dream of for our daughter, and he makes me laugh like crazy always when we are together. He is the love of my life, simple as that ;).  

We decided to celebrate together as a family, so we took the ferry to Suomenlinna, walked around, enjoyed coffee and shared a brownie, and in the evening we went out for dinner to restaurant Bronda. It was the first time we dined there, but as real Tomi Björck restaurant lovers, we didn't get disappointed this time either. The desserts were to die for, especially the tiramisu!

All in all we had a really great and memorable day, and I am happy to know that there will be more to come <3.

Secret Garden

Hello friends, family and random people ;)! How was your weekend? 

My weekend was spent more or less glued to my daughter because she seems to be going through some sort of phase, or then she's teething, not really sure. She is easily irritated, doesn't want to eat anything but banana and avocado and wants to be carried by me 24/7. I love her to the moon and back but I have to admit that I'm a bit tired to say the least :D. Well well, there is nothing that a lot of coffee, fresh air, some chocolate and a new day can't cure. Tips, experiences and wise advice are more than welcome!

Yesterday my hubs wanted to go to the amusement park, so we decided to go, walk around and enjoy the beautiful sunny weather. Greta had lots of fun people watching, and she was beat once we got home. In the evening I met up with a friend and talented photographer to shoot some pictures in the sunset. Can't wait to see the pictures myself and also post them here on the blog. 

Last night was also the first time I wasn't at home putting Greta to bed, so I was a little bit nervous. Everything went smoothly and she slept like an angel when I got home. I guess I'm the only one with anxiety when we're apart.

This is what I wore yesterday, and the pictures are shot in the winter garden on the walk back home from the amusement park.
