Weather feels suddenly so much more spring-like now that the days are getting longer. Though it’s still quite cold in Helsinki (definitely still winter) the sunnier days give so much hope and good vibes. Gathered here few spring favourites: knits, jackets & trousers. Spring looks are definitely favourite ones after fall looks ? Knits 1.... Read the Post The post Spring picks appeared first on Mariannan ..read more

1. Black blazer (wearing in size 36) Gotta start with my favourite piece: a classic black blazer in slightly oversized fit. Goes every season for so many occasions. I mostly still wear it in evening looks, it’s never overdressed or underdressed. For dinner dates with my boyfriend, drinks with girls, family dinners etc. I don’t think I’ve ever traveled without having this in my suitcase. post contains ad links 2. Silk shirt (similar) White loose silk shirt has been a favourite for years too. This one is my grandma’s old and I try to take good care of it. I wear it leather trousers, jeans and sk ..read more

Trip provided by Hotel Iso-Syöte While I’m waiting for snow to fall in Southern Finland (white Christmas please ?) I have to just keep memorizing our lovely few days in Iso Syöte. When everything is covered under a snow blanket it just looks so beautiful! Definitely hoping to get one more trip this winter to somewhere with lots of snow… ‘Bear Cave Suite’ was the room we were staying at in Hotel Iso-Syöte. It was super cosy yet luxurious with the fireplace and hot tub. Also need to mention two types of saunas in the room: both traditional & steam sauna. After a day outside there couldn’t be ..read more

October is here, one of my favorite months. It may have something to do with the fact that I’m an October baby, there’s always something special in the month you are born in. Or maybe I’m just loving the feeling of a fresh start, autumn always feels like one. The chillier weather also means I get to wrap myself in layers: neutrals, different textures, all that coziness. I gathered here eight different looks I’ve worn lately. ? post contains ad links Lokakuu on täällä, yksi mun suosikkikuukausista. Ehkä sillä on jotain tekemistä sen kanssa että olen syntynyt lokakuussa, ehkä vain fiilistelen sy ..read more

We spent the midsummer in Espoo in my old home, I’m so longing to move back here. I honestly feel like I’m at the best mental state around here, in the nature near the seaside. ? We’ve soon been one year together and can’t wait to plan our next home and next steps together – that’s actually what we’ve been doing all midsummer, just dreaming! Vietettiin juhannus Espoossa kotikodissa vanhempieni ollessa mökillä ja voi miten mä kaipaankaan takaisin näille seuduille. Ollaan unelmoitu koko juhannus meidän seuraavasta kodista, kunpa se olisi jossain täällä. Tuntuu että kaupunkielämä on nähty ja koet ..read more

Kaupallinen yhteistyö KEVIN.MURPHY Tutustuin KEVIN.MURPHY:yn ensimmäisen kerran kampaajani Hannen kautta Peili Hiussalissa. Täydellinen kiharakampaus onnistui ja pysyi aina kampaajani tekemänä, kun taas itse olin tämän kanssa paininut niin pitkään kuin muistan, joten kiinnostuin tarkemmin tuotteista joita mun hiuksiin käytettiin. Ensimmäisenä muistan ostaneeni KEVIN.MURPHY:ltä SESSION.SPRAY FLEX -hiuslakan. Sitä pystyi halutessaan suihkimaan myös kiharoiden alle lisäten pysyvyyttä, lakka tuntui niin kevyeltä mutta toimivalta että rakastuin. Seuraavaksi ostin YOUNG.AGAIN -hiusöljyn, paras tuote ..read more

Words can not express how much I love the light and what kind of an effect it has on me. Winter felt so long and so dark, the only light came from all the screens I’m staring.

Just a nice outfit I’m not able to wear anywhere else than Instagram ??‍♀️ Ordered the white blazer quite recently from Zara Hairdresser visit to do a spring hai ..read more

I decided to share some updated home pictures, since we have a little something new here and there. ? I’m so happy we didn’t rush with interior decisions after moving in here 5 months ago. So much easier to go one step at a time, creating a space that feels like home. Kotona näyttää taas asteen valmiimmalta, joten ajattelin jakaa vähän tuoreempia kuvia täältä. ? Oon niin iloinen ettei turhaan hätiköity sisustusratkaisujen suhteen, kun viisi kuukautta sitten tänne muutettiin. Tuli tehtyä niin paljon varmempia hankintoja, kun edettiin askel kerrallaan ja pysyttiin kärsivällisinä. Gotta say I lov ..read more
