Outfit post - A Wall

Hello dear readers!
It's been very cloudy/ gloomy day outside, almost the whole day
has been quite dark and it feels as if it's evening all the time :O
Definitely something that I wasn't prepared for when I moved to
Helsinki 5-6 years ago.

We had to postpone our London trip to next year due to my man
being too busy, but we're going to Moscow right after the New Year's.
If you didn't know, I was born in Moscow back in '87. and I'm very
proud to have russian roots :)
My grandpa (from mom's side) is sick and is very old, so this might be
my last chance to see him... It makes me sad, but also happy and thankful
that I still get to see him soon.
I often think about growing old and how life flies by so fast. Every year,
seems to fly by faster and faster, it's crazy.
Because of that, I have decided to live my life to the fullest and try not to
take it too seriously, but have fun while living.
Taking life too seriously isn't good for anyone, because you'll miss all of
the fun and end up being frustrated. Been there, done that.

On the brighter note, I'm starting to make the Christmas presents shopping list.
I have quite couple of presents to buy to people I love, so I wanna make sure
to get the best ones, before they get sold out.
Have you started or are planning to start shopping for Christmas presents?

I'm wearing: Boots - Mjus, Jeans - Diesel, Shirt/ scarf - Zara, Ring - Bijou Brigitte,
Bag - Rebecca Minkoff, Parka - Mango, Headband - Asos, Necklace - HOH1960

Instagram diary

Here's one of my favorites things on my and any other blog -
Instagram diary!
Bunch of photos I've collected on my phone through past two weeks.
We've celebrated Father's Day here in Finland yesterday and we did
that over a lunch at viking themed restaurant "Harald".
It's so worth the visit and it was a perfect choice for a special day like
yesterday.
Where and what to shop for Christmas presents post coming tomorrow,
stay tuned and thank you for all of the comments and support that you show
me on daily basis, I appreciate it very much!

Outfit post - Grey

When I saw that H&M will have a new Devided collection
titled "Grey" I was interested to check out what it was all about and
I liked what I saw.
My shirt and (underneath it) dress are from the "Grey" collection.
I felt really cool when styling my outfit this morning.
It took me about 5 minutes to put this up! Yaaay, I'm getting better
at getting ready in a short period without looking underdressed.

This morning started off with coffee and breakfast downtown with
my man and sister.
It was really nice to have a calm moment and just enjoy the early
morning's sun rays :)
Even though it was quite cold and chilly outside we did managed to
run all of our errands and visit some shops. I'm getting more and more
excited about Christmas, all of the stores are very Christmas-y :)

Right now I'm about to make/bake cupcakes with my daughter and it's
always so much fun to do something like this together.
Tomorrow evening is reserved for movies and Sunday is Father's Day in
Finland and we'll celebrate it over the lunch at one great restaurant.
I'll take lots of food photos, so be prepared for my next Instagram diary post :)
Until then, have a nice weekend!!

I'm wearing: Boots - Steve Madden, Jeans - Diesel, Shirt& Dress - H&M,
Blazer - Zara, Coat - Charlie design, Rings - Tiia Vanhatapio for Seppälä,
Necklace & beanie - Accessorize, Scarf - Gant

Outfit post - Ride

What a crazy ride life is!? Sometimes it surprises me just like that,
out of nowhere wonderful things happen or then totally the opposite,
the biggest nightmares come true. I'm getting better at handling critical
situations and I was happy to handle one this morning with flying colors :)
Sunny ( and chilly ) day did help me to have more energy and positivity
than usual :)

I got this lovely dress yesterday at Zara and I like it very much, it's so
soft and comfy that I don't even feel like I have it on.
Talking about the shopping, I've realized that majority of stores have already
put up the Christmas trees and Christmas decorations up.
I think that it's a bit too early, but I do like the happy feeling I get when I see them,
because that means that my favorite time of the year is veeery close :)
Have you already started thinking/ buying Christmas presents?
I was thinking of putting up a post about Christmas presents ideas and links to
where to get them from.
Stay tuned :)

Have a nice Wednesday!

I'm wearing: Boots - Unisa, Dress & cardigan - Zara, Scarf - Gant,
Bag - Lancel, Earrings - Marni for H&M, Ring& cuff - HOH1960

Outfit post - This is what makes us girls

Huh! I had a pretty busy and tiring day yesterday.
Creating a photo shoot and making sure that everything works
perfectly can be bit stressful. I'm also the one to take care of model's
hair and styling. I'm lucky to have my friend Suzana which always does
make up for all of my photo shoots and my man which always helps me
out with transportation, booking of the location and moving some heavy
stuff around.
However, yesterday's photo shoot was a success and right after it was finished
we went to chinese restaurant for a dinner since we had to skip the lunch and
we were so hungry :P

I have already edited couple of photos and I have added them in this post as well,
after the outfit photos.

When it comes to the outfit, this dress is one of the most beautiful
dresses in my closet! It's just perfect for me and I can't wait to wear it more often
because it can be styled in many ways :)

Happy Monday everyone!
I hope that it's been a great kick off day for a rockin' week :)

I'm wearing: Dress - Zara, Boots - Steve Madden, Bag - House of Harlow 1960,
Jacket - Levi's, Scarf, necklace and ring - Bijou Brigitte

Here're the photo shoot shots :)

Sunday inspiration

Hello everyone! I would like to wish you a nice and relaxing
Sunday. I have a photo shoot today later on and a huge shopping
list for groceries and some cosmetics, so I'll post my outfit post
in the evening or tomorrow. So, while you're waiting for that, I'd
like to put here some inspiring photos I've found on the net over the
past couple of months and keep them on my laptop in folder titled,
what else but "Inspiration" :)
Enjoy!
