Naisia Kaupungilla

Yesterday a friend called that there were people needed to assistant in some Finnish tv-serie and asked us if we could go. Both had a free day so we decided to go thinking that we'd just be chillin' somewhere in the background. Well it turned out that they liked Mr. R to be more in the picture so he got some speech lines. Mr R. who usually doesn't even want to be photographed! Haha! Well it all went fine and was cool. Thanks V., we had fun!

The scene will be in a serie called "Naisia Kaupungilla".





























































The filming took place in Jenny Woo, a bar in Helsinki.






















Lunch afterwards and then...






















... a visit to Hakaniemi Market, Hakaniemen tori.

Ah, finally home

Today was a long day. I had to wake up early for school and then worked afterwards but now I'm home! Gonna take it easy with chocolate and magazines. How was your day?

BTW, check out the chocolate from a bigger picture!

Pretty Gals

I'd like to find these kind of Chloé-style shorts for the summer with a higher waist. I love the whole look in the picture!






















And this look too: the dress and the chunky necklace, a dream!

Google Surprise

I googled "IVANAhelsinki" to see what kind of pictures would come and surprisingly found myself in one picture! It's from a travel, honeymoon site and apparently I'm giving some sort of company presentation. Funny!

Pimp My Closet

If you're tired with your boring white closet, why not try to upgrade it a bit. Take an example of this one:















Picture: can't remember, sorry!

Fantastic idea! But kids, don't try this at home! Mummy will spank your butt. Unless it looks like the one in the picture!

Sweet Anna Sui

I love this Sping's collection from Anna Sui. The colours are juicy and the patterns a bit folkloristic - all in all very fresh looking collection, including the model's look! I could wear any time any of these outfits:

Vappu 2009

We Finns were really lucky (and super happy!) this year that the weather during Vappu celebration was sunny and nice! The parks were full of people having picnic and streets flooding with more people. We went for a family lunch and after that to see friends in Kaivopuisto, the party park. Later in the evening we went to see a sca-reggae-punk band, The Valkyrians, playing in a restaurant boat close to our home. We danced and then danced some more until it was time to go home and sleep before next day's work.

I totally forgot that I had a camera with me so here's just few pictures from yesterday, sorry!












































This student cap is traditionally worn in Vappu and only after the "capping" of the Havis Amanda statue it can be put on.

Kiira and me, friends since 1989 (or something like that)!
