Hi lovelies,

How are you all? ♥ Waiting for the weekend already?

I am. We're heading to Helsinki once again, and we're going to see friends of ours, shop a little, and visit an amusement park. I couldn't be more excited!

I was supposed to post yesterday already, but I was just a bit too tired to do that with thought, so... But I have to say, Wednesday was kind of the loveliest day in a while. My fiance decided he just had to buy me a lunch in a sort-of-a-French restaurant, with a dessert and all, and he still has the nerve to tell me he doesn't have the money to treat me like a princess. Personally, I think he spoils me.

Luckily I have my cooking skills to make it up to him every once in a while, though. (Which reminds me, if you haven't already, check out the latest food post, Chicken Enchiladas!)

Like on his birthday a couple of weeks ago, when I baked him a Super Mario themed cake. If you haven't seen it already on Instagram, here's your chance:


I was aiming to cute cake, decorated with Invincibility stars and with a colorful inside. I have never ever baked anything this close to rainbow before, but I gotta say, this whole colorful baking is really therapeutic and fun. ;) (I also made a Hello Kitty cake after this one, and I'll be posting the recipe on July.)

And as we are talking about his birthday bash, some might remember me mentioning we had a few friends over to drink and play some video games. As I'm not a girl to spend a party in a pair of lounge pants or in something equally anti-girly, I opted for a dress. I was wearing the same outfit for work, and one of my lovely colleagues said I reminded her of a Minnie Mouse - and hence, the title.

Hi lovelies,

I'm sorry this putting up this post took longer than expected. We're now spending Midsummer (in Finnish, Juhannus) at our friend's cabin in the middle of nowhere basically, and we arrived here around 3am last night. So it's been a bit busy, or something, but thank God I got the time now to post this....

So, how are you all today? Having a lovely Summer day? (Or Winter day, if you live on that side of the globe.)

I know, I should now just get to the point, right? :D

So, I just used Random.org to pick up winners for both my Birthday Giveaway prizes, and the lucky winners are....

For the first set, "Chic Gold", the winner is: Sensaatio!


And for set number two, "Fashionably Colorful", the lucky winner is: Jasmine1485!


Congratulations to you both, I'll be contacting you via email right away to get your addresses and all. ♥


Stay tuned for more giveaways later this year, and moreover, I'll be posting the nail care post as soon as I can (I hope the peeps here will let me write that much, hehe... ;D)

Have a lovely weekend, everyone! ♥

xoxo

Hi lovelies, today's post contains hints on how to style your pair of high waisted shorts. I liked the styling ideas presented here, so I thought I'd share it with you. As mentioned, this post is sponsored, and I agree with the points presented here. The winners of the Birthday Giveaway will be announced after I've had a good night's sleep, and I'll be back with normal posting after a day or two...

Hey lovelies,

How was your weekend? ♥

I have been spending some time with a close friend, had a Skype call with mom and dad, and now I'm reading through a huge pile of blog posts you all have been posting this weekend (there's a lot of work there, do you all have to be so fabulous and talented? ;)). It's actually raining now here in Finland, and I'm anxious to find a 10 minute gap it wouldn't rain, so I could go outside take some photos...

Maybe I'll get lucky, though. :D

The upcoming week will be kinda busy, my boss told me I'm needed at work even more than usual, so I think I'll write another post right after this one just so I can provide new material for you all despite the rush here. :D

Now, there's two things I wanna say before we go through the outfit.

Firstly, remember to check out & enter my Birthday Giveaway!


Secondly, I've been thinking about making a post about our apartment. Would you guys like to see that?


Okay, so now I think it's time to show you another outfit I really loved to wear. I paired neon coral and black, wore a fab little accessories and topped it off with my favorite leather jacket. I hope you enjoy the look too!

Hi beautiful people!

Have you already remembered to enter my birthday giveaway?


How are you all doing this week? Did you have a fabulous weekend? :)

I had - or well, if not fabulous, then hilarious at least. Like mentioned on the previous post, we had a little birthday bash in my man's honor. I even baked a fun cake (like you might have seen if you're on Instagram)! I'll be posting a few words on that later, but today, I'll show you little pieces from my future father-in-law's retirement party (meaning, flowers and my outfit, as I wanna protect his privacy enough to not show all the gifts and so on...)

Anyway, the party was at the end of May, and we had to start driving there very early in the morning, as it was planned the way that the place where father-in-law had worked served coffee and cake for everyone at 9am. So, with just 4 hours of sleep, off we were. It was a cute little event, and from there, we headed to my fiance's parent's home. Before we had this sweet family dinner, I helped out with the flowers given by people congratulating.

Hi lovelies!

How are you today? ♥

I'm great, just stopped quickly by to say hello to you all - we're having a party sort of thing at our place the whole weekend (the ones on Instagram and Twitter might have seen I baked a Super Mario themed cake). We're kind of celebrating my fiance's birthday, and there's four friends visiting the whole weekend. ;) It's very crowded in here - in my opinion, at least - but I think it'll be a lot of fun anyways.

What are your plans for this weekend?


Also, have you already entered my birthday giveaway? If not, you can check it out here.

Today I wanted to share a look I put together around DIY decorated shorts the other day. It's a very casual outfit with nothing that special in it, but I personally liked it a lot. Now that I look outside, I can only wish was so sunny and warm today as well. (Instead, it's grey and kinda cold. That sucks.)

Anyways, here's the outfit:

Hi my lovelies,

Guess what?

It's my birthday today, and that means...

Yes, gifts for you! ♥ I'll be writing a normal post again tomorrow, but today, I just came to tell you I want to give you all a chance to get something lovely to spice up your Summer outfits. The prizes were handpicked by me (you should've seen the shopping spree I had for these... :D), and they are totally items I would wear myself.
