Cozy Sweatshirt with a Skirt

Hey lovelies ♥

I hope you're all having a great start for your week - I started my morning with a fruit breakfast and workout, which seems to be the perfect start for the week. Tomorrow I will start to put together the detox/healthy lifestyle post, and I hope I get it done soon enough.

Today, however, I wanted to share an outfit I wore a while back when our friends J and K were visiting us. I was trying to combine cozy with rock chic, and this is what happened:

So this is my take on how to wear a sweatshirt with a girly skirt, and make it work. I wanted to do something unusual (for me, at least) and I think it went kinda well.

So, that kind of look today. Pretty casual, as usually, but a bit different to what you've seen here. I also personally love the light of the sunset here on these pics, it makes a fun mood to them.

But I wanna hear your thoughts: What do you think about this look? ♥ And, how do you wear a sweatshirt?

Now, I'm off to bed, but I try to get more for you to read as soon as I possibly can ;)

Have a fabulous day ♥

Blog ya later,

And That's Who I am pt. 9

Heya babes! 

How are you all? ♥

Today, I have been loving the weather, seen many animals, started the amusement park season, visited the fashion flea market, and totally enjoyed my Sunday. 

What have you all been up to? ♥

Anyway, today it's time for the second to last That's Who I Am post, so let's get started! (Previous parts: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)


True story, as much as I'd like to love my face all natural, I just don't seem to. Stupid and totally shallow, but I can't help it. Luckily on summer I manage to think that less is more, I just need to learn that on winter too. And I also love doing my makeup, it's such a fun artistic way to express myself.


I could live on popcorn, I'm totally obsessed with it. But as my favorite popcorn recipe shows, I like them very unhealthy, so, I try to not eat them very often. But today, as it is world cup finals on ice hockey (go Switzerland!) I will allow a bowlful of these bad boys for us.


I'm currently learning not to do this, but my nature is a worrier. Super annoying, as I can literally lie on the bed in the middle of the night worrying something for hours! Not cool. And that's why I'm learning not to. But at least I'm noticing my problem and doing something about it. ;D


I think a blogger can never tell this too much, so: I love you guys! You all rock, and you give me all the more reason to write stuff for this blog. So big thanks to you all - and let's hope I can figure out a fun giveaway for you next month. ;) And always remember, you're important for me - there'd be not point to blog if no one would read it, so thank you for coming here and catching up every now and then!


Who doesn't, though? I haven't yet met a person who doesn't love their ice cream, so if you don't, let me know :D 


Music brings me memories, it makes me happy, and it totally motivates me to do things. I need music for jogging, for writing, and just for living happier. I'm sure many of you could listen to music forever, too. ;) My playlist varies from hard rock to soft pop to trance and such, so there's almost everything imaginable. Most of it is rock, but I do listen to other music, too.


I guess you all know this by now, hehe. But yes, nail art is my obsession and I could buy thousands of shades of nail polish if I just had the budget and the space for it. Thank God I don't. 


Not a big surprise I guess, as I love music so much. Too bad these events are mostly pretty expensive here in Finland, and I can't really afford them. But every time I get the chance, I'm glad to go. Many of my best summer memories are from festivals where I've gone to with friends.


I've moved on, many times. From a broken heart, from a disappointing relationship, from the death of a loved one, you name it. Life goes on, so I need to, too. Sometimes it's hard, but it's always necessary. Move on, you deserve to.


There's nothing better in summer than checking out new places, driving around without a destination, and just chilling out everywhere. And now that I am feeling the photographing more than before, exploring is so much more fun. I hope that will help to create interesting posts in the future. :) 

So, what do you have to say to these facts? Similarities to you, or perhaps differences? Let me know more about you lovelies! ♥

I'm off now, to cook for my man, but I'll get back to you soon enough! ;)

Have a fabulous day!

Blog ya later,

xoxo

Sushi in Stripes

Hey babes!

Happy Saturday ♥

I hope you're all doing well, I'm currently trying to stomach Finland's awful hockey game against Sweden - they lost, but will get the chance to win bronze from either Switzerland or USA, we'll see. Anyone else watching the world cup now? :D

Also, tomorrow is exciting because I get to meet other bloggers from my town at the fashion flea market (Muotikirppis), I will have my camera with me, and try to take nice photos for you to see, too. Finnish readers: Kuinka moni on tulossa huomenna Pakkahuoneelle Muotikirppikselle? On varmaan hieno tapahtuma tiedossa ;)

Anyway, today I just wanted to share a couple of foodpics and an outfit I wore to have a coffee with a dear friend L a while ago.

These photos were taken in my favorite restaurant, Maruseki, which serves amazing Japanese food - I've eaten the best sushi so far in there. The food is always like art, it looks amazing and it also tastes fantastic!

A variety of sushi that I had the last time, every single piece was way too awesome ;)

Later that day, I went to see a friend I hadn't met for over a year, and as it was one of the first warm days, I dressed like it, too.

So, another quite simple and a bit rock chic look. I love the combination of black and red so much, and those tights are way too cool! I think many people thought I wasn't wearing any pants, so I got some pretty funny looks when I walk around dressed like that. I can assure that you'll be seeing more of those tights later on, as soon as I figure out what to combine them with.

But now, the word is yours: What do you think about this look? ♥

I'm off now, to watch more hockey, but I'll get back to blogging again tomorrow ;)

Have a fabulous day!

Blog ya later,
