Helsinki Adventures

Hello lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

We've had our wedding party today, but I didn't want to leave you without a post so I wrote this beforehand so you'd have something to read if you're having some free time this weekend. Today, I'm telling you a bit about our day in Helsinki last month.

Like you might have seen in social media, we had a little adventure in Korkeasaari zoo with our friends. It's been a while since we went there, so it was nice to be back.

And this time, we took a boat!

This magnificent birdie was walking free in the zoo, which is pretty awesome. And it didn't even attack me even though I was kinda close with my camera. Below, some of my favorite photos from the trip.

This little fella came to say hi up close through the glass.

And this big kitty also came close to see people. Tigers are so gorgeous, I really wish we people can make them not be so extinct or endangered in the future.

My inner Jack Sparrow really wants to borrow that boat!

And below, my outfit for that day, shot in a horrible light but it was such a nice outfit I really wanted to share it here.

Had a kind of edgy look that day, it was sunny and warm so the shorts were totally appropriate - but the plaid had to play an accessory when it was the hottest time of the day because long sleeves were just too much. But this look also worked with the shirt around waist so that's cool. (Sadly I don't have a picture of that for you.

What do you guys think about the look (or the other pics)? Let me know in the comments!

That's all for you today, I hope you're having an amazing weekend! Our party and other fun things can be seen on my social media channels today and later on as well, and I'm hoping I can create some sort of a post about the wedding later on as well. See you tomorrow or on Monday the latest here in the blog.

Have a fantastic weekend, I love you all ♥

Kuopio Petting Zoo ♥

Heya lovelies!

How was your weekend? ♥

I've been relaxing and doing some DIYs, like you could have seen on my Instagram. This is so what I need before the last week before the school. I can't believe I'll get back to school after few days. It's pretty exciting, even if my schedule will be crazy. That just means I need to learn some beforehand writing for that. ;)

Anyways, today I really wanted to share some pictures from the beginning of July with you. I've been crazy busy, taken that I never posted these before. But here you go:

Roadtripping...

...sparkling wine...

...and other treats.

Not a bad way to start my already-gone summer vacation. We headed to Kuopio, where I used to live before, and planned to see friends and family there. Not many pictures from the week, since it was rainy and we didn't do too much, but on Friday, we went to a petting zoo.

Making friends with a cute little pig.

This was the first day of the week that at least tried to be sunny. At least a bit. So it was the perfect time to go see some animals. And there, they actually let you to pet animals, which is pretty cool to me. It's another story whether the animals let you touch them, though.

After this, it was time to head to the center and get something to eat:

We went to Kummisetä, which is definitely a restaurant I would recommend. They have great choices on meals, and they clearly let you know on the menu whether it's gluten free or not. And that is a deal-breaker for me nowadays. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact they serve gluten free cheesecake. And it was super tasty as well.

As for the outfit, I had to go for a bit warmer one than I had hoped. But luckily, a good pair of leggings gets you pretty far.

So, that's my look for that day. I really kinda liked it, even if it's not the most usual me.

Let me know what you think about this post, and the outfit, in the comments below ♥

Later, I'll be sharing another Kuopio outfit with you, and also, there will be a little DIY post. Hopefully, I will fit other posts in this week as well. See you soon!

Have a great day, dolls!

Deutschland - Day 2: Frankfurt Zoo ♥

Hello everybody!

How are you all? ♥

Like you maybe have seen on my Instagram, I've been spending today at the beach (got a little sunburn, yikes!) so didn't got much done blogging-wise. But, as I was smart beforehand, I edited these photos for you to see.

Today, I'm gonna walk you through our trip to Frankfurt Zoo, which was such a great part of the trip for me. I know there are probably plenty of people reading this that are anti-zoos, but I personally feel they are great places for people to learn about these awesome animals and see why our planet is worth preserving, so... Let's try to stay positive here, okay? ;)

We start off the day by hitting Starbucks on Zeil (shopping street in Frankfurt), because - and this will sound weird - I had never been to one. We have only two in Finland, so I haven't had the chance. I really liked the coffee there and would've liked to go more times there, but we didn't get the chance. Boo.

After coffee, it was time to go to the zoo. Frankfurt zoo is a walking distance away from Zeil, and easy to find, which was pretty awesome. Below, you'll see pictures of some of the animals we saw there, and mostly they just speak for themselves, but I will comment on few. There are many pictures, so if that's not your thing, change the site now.

Entrance to the nocturnal animal house. Creepy as heck. And I LOVED it. That place was full of amazing animals that I couldn't photograph due the darkness inside, and to be honest, actually loved watching so much I wouldn't have photoed too much anyway.

What did you find there, dude?

The penguins were so freaking adorable, look at this one swimming there! Too cute.

One of my favorite pics of the day. I don't know why, but I find crocodiles cute.

Fennec foxes ♥ I love these creatures so, so much, and I'm kinda bummed I didn't get of better picture of them. But they were happily chilling out and didn't wanna come near people.

They have such a happy life :D Just chillin'.

Found my dream car on the way. So cool.

And last but not least, king of the jungle.

We really enjoyed our time on Frankfurt zoo, they have such a natural way of keeping people and animals apart. Instead of ugly metal fences, they've gone for glass, wide ditches and so on. That is to make visitors feel they're close to animals, which, in our opinion worked quite well. If you happen to be on Frankfurt area with few extra hours to kill, go check out the zoo. It's awesome. And it only costs like 10 Euros per adult, so it's super affordable.

I hope you liked this post and all the animals - rest of that day will follow on the next post. Leave me a comment telling what you think about this post below.

If you wanna see more of our trip, see previous post here. Tomorrow, we'll be doing all kinds of stuff, so if I can't get to my laptop, make sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (links on the right) to see what's up, and get content that might not be seen here on the blog.

Have a great day, and I will see you later!

Let's be friends in IG!
