dining

My friend Sanni came all the way from Tampere to visit me, and we spent a lovely two days together. Earlier today we went to the flea market, where I bought this lovely yellow dress as it's still very summery here in Finland (believe it or not). We decided to cook some dinner, which turned out tasty. I also went to a Karaoke bar for the first time, which was an interesting experience... 

from the ritz to the rubble.

 Last Monday I went to a BBQ in St Ives with a few friends. It was a lovely day. The sun was shining and the birds were singing etc. you know, a perfect summer day. It was around 25 degrees I think, so t-shirt weather. We bought loads of chicken that we put on the grill. Sadly, I don't seem to have any pictures of the actual food. Ah well, maybe next time I'll snap some pictures of that too. I always forget to take pictures, as I'm one of those people who prefer to live in the moment rather than spending time capturing it. I'm not going to write a huge novel about that day, as it'd probably be boring to read. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves (:

 I want that lovely weather back right now, although it'd probably affect the quality of my revising for exams which are next Monday. Probably won't be blogging before then, scared I might fail music..

christmas lights, another fight.

And I'm back again! Sorry for the long silence, I need to start updating more frequently. It's just that when it gets dark quickly, it's hard to take nice pictures. And I don't really feel like updating my blog if I don't have any pictures to post.

Anyway, a while ago I went to Cambridge with Nana to do some shopping and catching up. We hadn't seen each other for a long while, so we had loads to talk about. I'd seen this lovely looking cafe the other day, so we decided to check it out. They happened to also have food there! And not just food, lovely food. We both ended up having tomato soup and hummus. Yum. Gonna do that again Friday, probably! 

The Christmas lights were really, really pretty! I don't know why, but I really like Christmas lights..

you got me got me like this.

A few pictures from yesterday in Cambridge. I went there with my exchange-sister Annabel and Nana from Norway and had probably the best day here so far, all though my new shoes were hurting my feet quite much. 7 hours of going from shop to shop, who said shopping isn't exercise? Stopped a few times at Starbucks to chill out a little. Their blueberry muffins are the best. 

Today I don't feel like doing anything..

Hyvää juhannusta vaan kaikille! ♥

I'm not in the mood for writing very much today, so I'm trying to keep it simple. Me and my friend Allu hit the countryside for a bit unusual celebration of midsummer. We spent a lot of time with art, which you will be able to see when it's done! That can take a while, since they are oil paintings.. but still.. So we painted, went to the beach and ate a lot of good food! We also had a photoshoot, and I'll be posting the pictures from that somewhere around this week!

Have a good one guys ☺

NEW YEAR + HAIR & MAKE [Picture heavy]

Hi gals!

It's been a while.. Or this time, I actually think I've managed to update in a week from last post! I'm back with pictures from new years eve! I spent the day with Allu, a really good friend of mine(one of the best ones ♥). We had a great time, at least I did! Hope I can spend next new years eve with you too!! ♥

EPIC RANDOMNESS

The best picture I got of the fireworks.. or maybe it was Allu

who took this one..

It's a tradition in Finland to make new years tin.

We look at the shape of it to see what the future will bring.

Allu got a fish... : D

And that was everything from newyears! I bought a lovely leopard cardigan from Gina Tricot sale a little while ago. It's so warm and comfy. And it's big *u* I've got a thing for oversized clothes...

I've started to do my hair like this.

I put my bangs to the side and fluff my hair on the side umm..

lol I'm so bad at explaining but you see in the picture what I mean.

CAMWHORE FTW! A closeup sorta picture just to show you my makeup.

I'm starting to learn how to apply gyaru makeup. FINALLY! I love those lashes!

They are from ebay, and didn't cost much, and I got 10 pairs!!

Today is the opening of Turku 2011. I'll go there with some of my friends. I've heard there is going to be acrobatics, circus, fireworks and a choir of 350 people!! It's going to be exciting. It would be perfect if it wasn't so cold outside.. -16 degrees celsius..

'till next time, goodbye !
