Summer’s end

August 18, 2015

Summer’s end? After not really having a Summer in Helsinki, August was absolutely wonderful! The sun kept on shining every day so far, the days were perfectly warm and the outdoor life was buzzing like as if we ‘re somewhere much more south in Europe than we are.

I’m so happy and thankful that the sun is still shining and the days are so warm that I do get use out of my summertime wardrobe which grew huge during the months back in LA in the first half of this year. I’m now a bit “stressing” over my Fall and Winter clothes because my closet rack is almost empty in that department. I wasn’t planning on coming back to live in Helsinki again so soon, so I’ve donated pretty much all of my Winter clothes. I need to do some shopping soon in order not to freeze my butt off once the Summer comes to it’s end in Helsinki and that can literally happen over the night here. :O

I’m now getting ready to run my errands, make some lunch and then I’m off to my other work as a suis chef. I can’t even begin to tell you guys how much I’ve been loving my new job, working with passionate, young and creative team that only serves the best tasting and looking dishes to the customers. I’m so excited to go to work every day since I get to learn so much and improve my skills all the time. I’m truly one lucky gal to be able to say that I love what I do and I live of from what I do, be it blogging, photographing or cooking. Thank you heavens for dealing me these kind of cards, I’m gonna do my best to really “repay” the trust that’s been laid on me and I hope to inspire as many people as I can, all around the world. 🙂

My mini, best off, exhibition is up at Cafe Rouge here in Helsinki, so don’t forget to stop by and take a look if you are in Helsinki anytime soon ( or maybe even right now ). 🙂 I’ll be adding couple of more works here and there before we take away all of the artwork, sometime in Fall and I start working on the new cycle of photos because I got some stories to share! Yeah! 😀

Much love to all of you my dear readers!!

I’m wearing: Shoes – Vagabond, Blazer – Givenchy, Blouse – Max Mara, Bag – Balenciaga, Sunnies – Celine, Bracelet – JCrew, Earrings – Chanel, Jeans – Tiger Of Sweden

KesÀn loppu? Olemattoman kesÀn jÀlkeen, Elokuun on ollut kerrassaan ihana! Aurinko on jaksanut paistaa joka pÀivÀ, ja pÀivÀt ovat olleet tÀydellisen lÀmpimiÀ.

Olen niin onnellinen ja kiitollinen siitÀ ettÀ aurinko sen kuin vaan jaksaa paistaa, ja pÀivÀt ovat niin lÀmpimiÀ. EttÀ pystyn vielÀ kÀyttÀmÀÀn vaatteita Los Angelesissa vietettyjen kuukausien aikana kokoamastani kesÀvaatekaapistani. Toisaalta minua stressaa hieman minun Syksy- ja Talvivaatteiden tilanne. SillÀ niiden rÀkki ammottaa tyhjyyttÀÀn. Minun aikomuksen ei ollut muuttaa takaisin Helsinkiin nÀin nopeasti, joten olen lahjoittanut pois suurimman osan Talvivaattestani. Minun on pakko kÀydÀ shoppaamassa kohtapuolin. Jotta en palelluttaisi itseÀni, sitten kun kesÀ vihdoinkin pÀÀttyy. Ja se kesÀ voi pÀÀttyÀ tÀÀllÀ HelsingissÀ kirjaimellisesti yhdessÀ yössÀ.

Valmistaudun nyt lÀhtemÀÀn ulos asioilleni, ja valmistamaan lounasta ja sitten onkin jo aika mennÀ toisen työni pariin apukokkina. Sanat eivÀt riitÀ kertomaan sitÀ ettÀ miten paljon rakastan uutta työtÀni. Kun saan työskennellÀ intohimoisen, nuoren ja luovan tiimin kanssa. Joka tarjoaa ainoastaan parhaimman makuisia ja nÀköisiÀ ruoka-annoksia asiakkailleen. Olen niin innoissan siitÀ kun pÀÀsen työpaikalleni joka pÀivÀ. Koska opin koko ajan paljon uutta ja samalla kohennan taitojani. Olen tosi onnekas nainen, kun voin sanoa ettÀ mina rakastan sitÀ mitÀ teen työkseni ja ettÀ voin elÀttÀÀ sillÀ itseni. Oli se sitten bloggausta, valokuvausta tai kokkaamista. Luojalle kiitos ettÀ minulle on jaettu tÀllaiset kortit. MinÀ aion tehdÀ parhaani nÀyttÀÀkseni ettÀ olen luottamisen arvoinen ja ettÀ voin olla inspiraatio niin monelle ihmiselle kun se vain on mahdollista ympÀri mailman. 

Minun mini kokoelma nÀyttelyni on juuri avannut CaféŽRougessa tÀÀllÀ HelsingissÀ. Joten muistakaa kÀydÀ katsastamassa se nÀyttely jos olet kÀymÀssÀ HelsingissÀ lÀhiaikoina. Ajattelin lisÀtÀ silloin tÀllöin siihen nÀyttelyyn muutaman kuvan. Ennen kuin se nÀyttely puretaan jossakin vaiheessa SyksyÀ. Ennen kuin aloitan uuden nÀyttelyn kokoamisen/kuvaamisen, sillÀ minulla on monta tarinaa jotka haluan jakaa teidÀn kanssanne.

Toivotan
