Gourmet moment : Chantarelle soup

October 3, 2014

Hello my dear readers! I’m so glad to see that you’ve liked my yesterday’s post so much and one of the things I’ve forgot to add in facts about me is that I’m very passionate about cooking. That relaxes me and also boosts my creativity. 🙂

In today’s post I’d like to share with you one of my favourite soups in the world and that’s a mushroom soup. Mushroom season is now ON and what’s better time of the year to prepare this heart-warming, comfort soup?

Introduction – About me

October 2, 2014

Oh wow!! It’s already 2nd of October! It’s crazy that in only three months from now we’ll be already in a new year… This year was definitely one of the fastest ones to flash by. Anybody else who feels the same here?

Before the year comes to it’s end I still have a lot of plans and wishes, so I’ll make sure that the following three months are used well in a productive and interesting way. One of the new things that I’ll be (hopefully) doing throughout the October is to blog every day and turn this month into Blogtober.

I’m starting today and what’s better way to kick this little “project” off than to introduce myself a little bit better!? 🙂

Outfit post – Saying goodbye

September 30, 2014

Good morning everyone! It’s a sunny Tuesday and I’m looking forward to spend some time outside on the fresh air and just try to clear my head and place my thoughts in order as right now I’m a “hot” mess.

Yesterday was the last day of my sister being here in Helsinki and after 2 years of living together and then only few minutes away from each other, it feels surreal that she’s now gone… It’s for better, but still, my best friend is not a phone call/ walk away anymore. We’ve spent the whole day together, starting by an early morning walk downtown, then we’ve snapped these outfit photos and headed towards one of our favourite cafes in the city Strindberg. After a delicious salmon salad and Brita cake, we’ve headed to do some small shopping and just stroll through the city.

Sunday afternoon at Kabuki

September 28, 2014

Hello my dear readers! How are you doing? How was your weekend? After a really tough week, I was in a serious need of a good “pick me up” and what’s better way to make your mood much better than over a nice lunch with nice people?

I went to one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Helsinki with my sister and her boyfriend. This restaurant used to be my go-to place for so long, but the owner has changed now 3 times and I haven’t heard good reviews of Kabuki after that 3rd owner took over. Then they’ve been on a break since April this year because of huge plumbing renovation of the whole building and finally they’ve opened their doors two days ago and I just had to go and test the menu before I make up my mind if it’s still going to be my favourite restaurant or not.

Outfit post – Red and plaid

September 24, 2014

Good Wednesday everybody! I haven’t slept well for the last couple of nights, my little princess  is fighting with flu and ear infection, the weather has gone  all cold on us in Helsinki, the temperatures have dropped down  10-11°C in less than 24 hours, I also had my last filling and tooth  “cover” done yesterday, so once again I have looked like a tomato  and felt crappy, etc…  Not the best week and sometimes, no matter how positive you try  to think and deal with everything, sometimes you just need this one  day to simply feel like *hit, cry it out if you have to and have a nice  comfort in form of chocolate bar or an ice cream sundae…  That’s what this day will serve me for and hopefully tomorrow will  be much better.

Outfit post – Then you learn

September 22, 2014

Good Monday morning everyone! I’ve just finished eating my breakfast in bed and am soon going to the gym to get some good workout done. I’m also meeting my friend later on and have tons of things to take care of in between, so I better get going :).

Last Friday I went out for dinner with friends. We went to a Japanese restaurant Koto and have enjoyed lots of great traditional meals as well as sushis. This is the outfit which I wore that evening and we shot it in one of my favourite parks. I love parks, I always feel at peace whenever I’m in one and some of them hold special magic such as Bryant Park in NYC or one on Chistoprudny Bulvar in Moscow.

Outfit post – Electric night

September 19, 2014

So we meet again Friday… Today I don’t feel like writing much… Instead, I want to  just take a moment and be grateful… Be thankful for the  smallest things which are BIG things. I constantly need to  remind myself that small things are the ones that life is  built from. Chase is always sweeter than the catch, right?

Outfit post – Me and mini me

September 17, 2014

Here’s to the last Wednesday of Summer. Can you believe that in only 5 days we’ll enter the Fall officially? I even saw a quote saying that there’re only 15 more Fridays until Christmas!? Isn’t this crazy? When did this whole year gone by?

I’m definitely feeling a good wind in my back to get more active and do as many things as I can to progress as much as I can, privately and professionally. December will be all about relaxing, spending time with family and being in this magical holiday mood, so October and November better be very exciting and active 😀

Outfit post – Track, crush and prevail

September 15, 2014

Good morning world!! How was your weekend my dear readers? My weekend was all about some soul searching, indulging in long walks outside ( we had a very sunny weekend ) and some lovely Thai food, Masaman curry with veggies being my current obsession 🙂

The outfit which I’m showing you in this post was my uniform over the weekend. I felt feminine, comfortable and yet very rock n’roll. This is also the first time I’m showing you my Pandora box by Givenchy which I got at Luxbag, a must visit store if you’re even in Helsinki and want to do some quality shopping. I’m absolutely in love with the bag, it’s so spacious and so well designed that I know without a doubt will last me for years. That’s def. one of the best things when investing in more pricy bags, if you take good care of them, they’ll last you a long time 🙂
