Boston bag, Gucci

Time to spoil yourself! As I told before I always save for things I really want, I actually use one account just for that (I also have holiday saver). At last I had enough money on my bag saver (was also known as Gucci saver) and I bought my gorgeus bag  earlier today! 

I love simple desing of Gucci's Boston bags so that's what I ended up with, I also choosed small silk scarf as a extra treat. I love to wear scarves like this on my hair, kind of as a hairband.

Now it's time to start to save for the next thing hehe. (know what it is allready!)

Cu later!xx

Aika hemmotella itseäsi! Kuten oon aikaisemminkin maininnut säästän aina asioihin jotka todella haluan. Itseasiassa olen jopa omistanut tilin tälle tarkoitukselle (löytyy myös loma säästötili). Viimeinkin oon saanut koottua tarvittavat rahat 'laukku tililleni' (tunnettiin myös Gucci tilinä) ja tänään ostinkin uuden ihanaisen laukkuni! 

Rakastan Guccin Boston laukkujen tyyliä joten yhteen niistä sitten lopulta päädyinkin, lisäksi mukaan lähti yksinkertainen silkkihuivi. Käytän usein saman tyylisiä huiveja 'hiuspantana' ja siksi sen valitsinkin. 

Nyt ei sitten muuta kuin uutta kohdetta varten säästämään! (tiedän jopa mikä se on!)

Nähdään pian! Xx




Ps. Today after I woke up and put the tv on Macklemore started my morning on Viva. Haha such a cheer up.

Apple a day

Ohh payday is so close, but still so far. As it's end of the moth I'm poor again. (savings are not counted as those you're not allowed to touch!)

Today I felt like saving all my last pennies, being all healthy and loosing all extra kilos in one day so, I've made up some Tuna salad. (which is probably the unhealthiest salad you can make, bye bye that weight loosing) ahh delicious, let's forget the healthiness and mix the tuna with some majo, onion and spices, yumm.

Palkka päivä taas niin lähellä, mutta silti niin kaukana. Pari päivää jäljellä. Kuu on melkein ohi ja olen taas täysin peeaa. (säästöjä ei lasketa, niihin ei kosketa!)

Tänään mielijohteesta halusin olla sekä säästäväinen että terveellinen, voisi menettää kaikki extra kilot päivässä, väsäsinpä siis itselleni tonnikala salaatin. (joka oikeastaan oli melko epäterveellinen... Hei vaan se painon pudotus). Delicious! Unohdetaan sitten vielä ihan kokonaan se terveellisyys ja sotketaan joukkoon majoneesia, paljon mausteita ja sipulia! 



Love the veggies but normally noodles do come even cheaper. Instead of dreaming the perfect body and big weight loss I believe in 8 glasses of water and apple a day. Haha, also I do love my mum who always says that don't watch the scale as long as you're fine with the mirror.

Ps. Vogue's new trend book came up couple weeks ago. While waiting for the pay day I've made my spring shopping list again! Hehe I do love dreaming.

Tosiaan, Rakastan salaatteja, mutta usein nuudelit on vielä halvempi vaihtoehto. Sen sijaan, että jaksaisin unelmoida kunnon painon pudotuksesta uskon ennemmin kahdekstaan vesilasilliseen sekä omenaan päivässä. Rakastan myös äidin viisauksia joista yksi kuuluu 'älä katso vaakaan niin kauan kuin peilikuva miellyttää'. 

Ps. Voguen kevään trendi numero saapui pari viikkoa sitten. Rahan tuloa odotellessa olen taas väsännyt itselleni kevään ostoslistan! Kyllä, unelmoida aina saa.

Vagabond

Probably one of the best shoe brands I know. No lie!

Sain itseasiassa kotipuolesta palautetta, että täytysi postaukset laittaa kaksikielisinä. Kannattaako? Ajattelin kokeilla miten toimii, saa nähdä kuinka selkeää tekstiä saan tulemaan.

I got feed back from home that I should also write my posts in finnish. Should I? Well thought to try it out, so we'll see how clearly I can write in finnish from now on.

I do love KG but with comfortable shoes I must say that Vagabond have done it again. Last time in Finland I bought this pair of ancle boots, and oh my, I can wear these everyday to work! I think I never had any heels this comfortable. (normally I would be wearing heels for one day and then have a break)

Actually I haven't bought any shoes from Vagabond for years, but when I was in highschool I used to get all my "dressier" shoes from this brand. Hehe now I remember why.

Rakastan KG:n kenkiä mutta mukavuuden puolesta täytyy todeta, että Vagabond vie potin kotiin. Viime Suomen reissulla ostin nilkkurit, ja kyllä, näitä voin käyttää töissä vaikka joka päivä! Tuntuu etten ennen ole näin mukavaa (korollista) kenkäparia omistanutkaan. (Yleensä töihin mennisin koroilla yhdeksi päiväksi ja sitten olisi parin päivän tauko.)

Itseasiassa ei ole tullut ostettua kenkiä Vagabondilta vuosiin, ylä-asteella tosin ostin kaikki juhlavammat kengät kyseiseltä merkiltä. Nyt sitten muistankin miksi näin tein.



Praise for the Scandinavian brands! Haha. Have to get other pair when I get to Finland again! (after 2 weeks! Hihii!)

Ps. One more plus side on Vagabond shoes is that when it's snowing you're not skating around like with all other shoes I've.. Heh

Hurraat siis pohjoismaisille merkeille! Ensi Suomireissun ostoslistaan täytyykin sitten lisätä uusi pari kenkiä. (kahden viikon päästä siis, hiih ihanaa)

Ps. Plussana Vagabondille vielä se, että kun täälläkin nyt on lunta satanut niin ei tarvitse luistella ympäriinsä, niinkuin kaikilla muilla kengilläni tällä hetkellä.

Perfect hair

Looking for the satin touch and shine?

I actually can't complain about my hair, it's never been really bad even I do dye it every couple month... But... It's always been human nature to look for better. (right?)

 I was telling you before Christmas about these hair masks I asked my mum to send from Finland, other one of them (Montagne Jennese, Moisture miracle) I tried now the first time and it was a bit of let down. It made my hair feel really heavy and gave a bit greezy feeling. This could be ofcourse aswell because my hair wasn't that dry or in need of the treatment, but still after the other one being such a succes I'm a bit uppset. Anyway after shower today my hair is nice and soft, so what to say, thanks for the mask?
Reason I like to try these one time things is because I need to use them only couple times in year, if you really have dry hair I would tell you to buy bigger bottle of some good hair mask so u can use it more often. Naturally it would be cheaper solution.

Well, I wanted to point out also Elvive's extraordinary oil, which is my bestfriend these days. You might remember when I told that I bought it. This product makes my hair feel perfect after every use. Normally I apply it after shower, and sometimes after styling to get that extra shine. Definetly a must have product. (tho the promised two drops doesn't do anything if you have as much hair as I've...)

Thumbs up!

Ps. I'm one if these who do hate hair dressers. I'm always planning to go for one but always end up to cut my hair by myself. Hehe someday I'll change my habits! (always dreaming to for Toni&Guy, but I've no idea  how they really are? Or how much would it cost me, experience, anyone?)

Britains got talent

I would love to go and ask around from all the people waiting to show their talents (?) on tv.

Over the weekend there's been hundreds (or thousands) of people lining near my works backdoor. Would be fun to join them and go embarrass myself too front of the whole country. Hope they feel nice and warm while standing outside for hours.


Picture taken by my colleague Simone from the window of our stockroom. (thanks for letting me use it!) That's naturally just part of the line.

Nice yeh? Would you go too?

Enjoy it while you can

It's funny how you start to love things you used to hate after not seeing them for a while.

In this case I'm back to writing about the snow. What I mean is that when I lived in Finland I cursed every year on that day it started to snow. Now I'm all excited to go for walk and even talked about making a snowman. It's the first time it's snowing for a whole week since I moved to London. (and the snow is actually staying on the ground, not just melting straight away).

Well fact is that in Finland it's about -20 degrees while here it's only about -2... That might be a big reason to not mind about the snow? Well anyway after couple weeks I'm goin back to Finland for a week holiday. Hope there's lots of snow and freezing weather! Can't wait. (not a joke)

I still do prefer the +30 degrees, but once in a while let's build some snow castles!

And it's back

Sorry my bad.

You can forget the spring I talked anout last week. Very sorry to mislead you. It is just this british weather, you avtually never should expect anything. If I'm right there is this old sayin "never trust the weather or the women." about the weather it's soo right.

So no dreaming about the summer, but lets enjoy the snow!

From Picadelly to Shoreditch

Got my camera back!

As I told last time I want to share with you some pictures from the Saturday's staff party (week ago). ...Or actually pictures before the party. Evening started of from Picadelly Circus and later moved on down to Shoreditch. Me and Ambia planned to go to the starter bar straight from work and we took our time with dressing up and fixing our hair before moving. (and just chilling for a while) 

Actually, by accident we both dressed up with similar theme.



Simple but ready to go. My loose top from Gina tricot, skater skirt from Vero Moda, gold accesories from Top Shop, crystal bracelet is Swarowski, and clutch bag Mulberry. My old so loved heels are bought  from Bianco.



Ambia had the same kind of outfit  styled very differently, her top and skirt are from Primark, killer ancle boots from New Look, leather jacket Miss Selfridge, fur gillet Top Shop. Love it!



In Picadelly we had a change to enjoy drinks and meal in Grace bar, which seems like a nice place to spend even all night by eating, drinking and dancing. Well me and Ambia showed up quite late so we actually didn't eat, but the food seemed delicious. By midnight eight of us headed to Brick lane desperately looking for some nice club to go. This wasn't a succes, we spent about hour by walking around and ended up this weird place which name I don't even know. I think it was closer to Whitechapel. Hmm.


Well company makes the good time anyway right? By three o'clock we ended up to Malin's home and went sleep. In the morning we had some sweet home made pancakes which was the best thing I could of thought that time. (In norwegian style ofcourse!)


Thanks again, and thanks for the breakfast!

Sunny days

Hi, still alive?

I have a good reason to be away for so long, as I don't have my camera. We had this night out from work last Saturday and I stayed at friend's place, aand left my camera there.

I do have all nice pictures from that evening and wanted to show them, but as till now my camera is on it's way I decided to come and tell you something; I feel the spring coming!

Yesterday the weather was all nice and warm, and we decided to go for a walk and enjoy the couple hours of sun, exiting point is that without winter jackets, yayy! Anyway I'm really waiting for the summer, which is still really far, but till that you have to take all of those couple warmer days we have. (even in this country)

I'll come back to you with some lovely pictures of the Saturday, hopefully in couple days.

Till then, enjoy the sun ;)

Ps. Blacberry cameras are great!

Norwegian new year

So, now it's 2013. Funny right?

I had such a nice new year thanks for our norwegian hosts. They have this amazing place in Shoreditch where we stayed all evening, drinking, dancing and just enjoying the company. (everybody were skandinavian, or around from there, excluding couple french, my boyfriend and one australian.)

Everybody had a change to enjoy some pizzas or norwegian food (made by hosts) and drink lots of sweet drinks. By 00:00 we all ran to the rooftop and popped the champange. We all watched these fireworks coming from the roof next to us. They might not be great like next to Big Ben, but great enough to make this new year something you never forget.

So thank you Malin and Erling, Waiting for your next parties!



Ps. I'm wearing my first denim shirt (only) ever haha, made it look like mine with this big silver necklace. (friis&company)
