BACK TO WORK

I was in holiday for about two weeks and yesteday was the first day at work this year. I was freezing! It's the coldest winter for years in Finland and today I decided to come a bit more prepared so now I'm dressed in four different layers, on the top being a IVANAhelsinki knit cardigan and my mom's old leather vest. The shoes are traditional Finnish felt boots and are THE BEST for this kind of weather. Me and my brother always wore them when we were kids and when I talked with my mom about them, she remembered to own a pair. After hours of search I finally found them and won't give them back. The boots are now officially stolen - thanks mom!

UPDATE! I added the picture of the bird necklace later on. After all this is hanna's nest. And me loooves birds!

Tea to keep me warm. Clipper's has quite a wide selection of different organic tea's. You know what they say, one green tea cup a day keeps the doctor away!


Bought this bag from UFF, it was just what I'd been looking for.

BEHIND THE CAMERA: Anna Wolf

Adore her photography. The vintage clothes, warm colours and the somehow poetic feeling. Shoot me me me ME! Cheese!

CHECK IT OUT: Hoedown by Eleanore Stewart

The music video was made for the classical music "Hoedown" and was inspired by cowboy and western movies. It's a stop motion animation and was done as a final year degree. SWEET DUDE (girl)!

MOVIE TIP: Night on Earth

One of my favorites. Five taxis, five cities, five different stories. One of the cities shown is Helsinki at winter time. A must see!

LISTEN: Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child

SAMBA QUEEN

.. well maybe not (yet) but I did try samba today. It was so much fun! I love, L O V E, dancing and have wanted to try samba and other styles for so many years but never had time (yeah right..). This morning I recieved an email saying that there is after-Christmas-fat-burning-samba-lesson and since I didn't have any other program, went to try some booty shaking. Ah. My muscles are still remembering the moves and I can't stop moving. I think this is something I'm gonna like and continue. So, to be continued... !

LISTEN: Janis Joplin - Cry Baby

GO VINTAGE

I went to check out some vintage eye glasses - I really need a new pair. My old ones have been bought maybe 7 years ago and now I really want some silly glasses that have a bit of humorous look. I tried on these ones and quite sure will take them! What you think?

































Oh yes. It's quite snowy and cold, -17 degrees, here in Helsinki! So jump and keep yourself warm!

PEACE AND LOVE

I hope you all enjoyed the New Year's Eve and had a fantastic party! I'll post later some pics from mine spontanius NYE party at my parents place. This one's from a pre-Christmas party some weeks ago. I was too hungry to pose. Pretty girls next to me, don't you think? And a cool shoe!
