5 for Friday

Good Friday everybody! It’s the end of the working week and I must admit that I’m happy for the weekend to be here. This week was a very busy but thankfully, productive one. I didn’t sleep much, had still fights with my health issues but I did my best to block the stress as much as possible. Right now, I feel that my girl boss senses are “giving up” and I’m gonna embrace the laziness and indulge in some quality “me time” over the weekend. 

What are you up to? What are your plans for the weekend? Oh yes, I almost forgot… THANK YOU everybody so, so, so much for the overwhelming comments and compliments on my Pandora photoshoot and post. Each time I produce something, no matter how much I like the final outcome, I always need to get some sort of “approval” from the outer world, be it my friends and family or you, my dear readers. Thank you for making my whole week with your support! 🙂

I’m also happy to inform that I just got great news that I will continue collaborating with Pandora in the near future too, so expect more material to come soon. YEEE!!!

I’ll keep it short and sweet this Friday, so besides mini Instagram roundup, I’ll list my current 5 favourites:

*TRAVELLING

I’ve been having the BIGGEST travel bug going on and can’t wait to get my wanderlust feet on the move. I’m planning on going for a short trip away in March, but I’m thorn between few destinations, London being one of them.

My favourite guide for anything London is def. TimeOut! From the restaurant and hotel suggestions to what to do and see in London on a certain month is where those guys rock out. 🙂

*SPRING

Spring is slowly but surely arriving and even my city, cold Helsinki was bathing in sunshine and warm temp. for a few days this week. I know that we’re only in middle of February but Spring feeling is in the air and I love it! I can’t but notice that all the display windows of different stores are filled with pinks, baby blues and flowers. 🙂

One of my favourite things to do in the Spring (if the weather is good) is to have a picnic at Suomenlinna island which is only a 15 minutes ride with the boat from the city centre.

*EATING

As I have previously mentioned, gastro scene in Helsinki is at it’s best right now which is a very exciting moment for a true foodie like myself. All of my favourite restaurants are switching their Winter menus into Spring ones and I can’t wait to explore all of them, starting with Asian fusion heroes Gaijin and Yume next week. 🙂

What are your favourite places to go to? Which type of cuisine do you like the most?

*SHOPPING

Yep, it’s that time of the year when I “have nothing to wear” as nothing excites me from the pieces which are hanging in my closet. At this point I’m bored with all of my Winter wardrobe and since I do reuse my clothes and some pieces I’ve had for years, the struggle to come up with an interesting outfit is real. 😀

I’ve been browsing many online shops in search for nice, new additions to my wardrobe but everything I did click home is still waiting to be worn since the Spring is just not here yet and I would freeze wearing light materials like those are. Here are some items which I’ve been loving: Gucci loafers, Nike sneakers , Maje dress , Self Portrait dress and J.W.Anderson bag !

*READING 

Something I LOVE but had no time for lately is reading. I’m a book worm and I LOVE reading books, the actual, physical ones. I have a whole closet filled with books. I’m about to get these two books HERE and HERE on my “must read” list for March!
