LA, Lifestyle, My Work, Outfits

Bridges of Herttoniemi bay

August 9, 2015

Good morning dear readers!! New week is here and I’m so happy to “walk” into it, esp. because the weather is going to be wonderful and the sun will shine all the way to the weekend ( and hopefully longer too ). For the weekend I did some work, went for long walks in the nature with my family, visited ZOO and have just tried to enjoy every moment as much as possible.

Today’s outfit photos were shot yesterday at the ZOO on the super cute wooden bridge that felt like a perfect location for an outfit post setting. It right away reminded me of one of my favourite movies of all times “Bridges of Maddison County” with legendary Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood. Have you seen that movie? If you haven’t, PLEASE do so, you will be so inspired and deeply touched by the message of this movie.

In one of my next posts I’ll write more in depth about why I left LA and why I’m not going back there after Summer is over. For now, I’ll just say that after I exhibit my “best off” photos at Cafe Rouge starting next Monday, I’ll start preparing a new cycle of photos for the new solo exhibition which I’ve envisioned to be a “travelling” one so that my art can reach some new destinations and people that don’t live in Helsinki or New York can see these works too. šŸ™‚ I’m also now working full time as a help chef at fine dining restaurant in Helsinki, cooking and working on the new, fusion and fine dining menu for Fall-Winter and Spring/Summer next year. It’s so exciting to be able to bring something to the table and that this job has already thought me so much. I’m happy to be able to develop my passion for cooking to a whole new level.

One last thing, but not least important and one of the main reasons why I came back to Helsinki and Europe in general is a big and for now still secret multi project that I can’t talk about yet, but hopefully in the beginning of the next year, everything will be ready for a grande reveal! šŸ˜€

There… Now you know what’s my “situation” and I hope that you’re not anymore confused to weather I’m living now in Helsinki, LA or going somewhere else.

Have a wonderful Monday everybody!

I’m wearing: Jeans jacket & bracelets – JCrew, Earrings, ring & sunglasses – House of Harlow 1960, Bag – Borsha, Sandals – Vagabond, Dress – Isabel Marant for H&M, Lipstick – Lancome

    Dearest Natali, pretty Princess, I have to admit I also had started to be a bit confused about what your living place was, and it’s something I totally envied…you can say you really saw many beautiful places in the world, and living there, even if for just a period of time, is so much different and enriching than just going on holidays there ! I am happy that you found a job you feel so fond of…and if you are back to Helsinki, you surely have to stay where you feel happier. Then, cooking for such a great restaurant, I am so proud of you ! Cooking is a true art and I have always thought you were a real foodie from your Instagram feed :). I once again admire you for your creativity and passion, it seems you can really do anything ! Well done and I am so excited to know about your forthcoming project. Thank you for all your support, can’t wait to really get to meet you in person, maybe in front of a special dish in Helsinki ? I wish šŸ™‚ <3 Lots of love, Vale PS your look is perfect once again and that bag is adorable !

    Elderly neighbour cold-called 02/11/2012 by Susan Watts of TRINITY, Apartado de Correos 11001, 07010 Mallorca, ofirefng a35,000 for her 1 week timeshare in Spain, and asking for a3907.50 advance payment by international transfer to an account in Palma for administration fees . Letter was received from Trinity with details of account to which advance payment is to be transferred (IBAN: ES67 0061 0180 6101 0605 0119, SWIFT: BMARES2M), but no description of service to be supplied or Terms and Conditions. Neighbour has been target of multiple Timeshare scams in the past, including one by KPK Marketing, Kensington High Street, London. Interesting to note the UK contact number for Trinity is identical to the one used by KPK Marketing: 0845 303 2794. Trinity is obviously operating a Timeshare resale scam specifically designed and targeted at the elderly. Makes me feel sick!
