autumn break

I know, it's been ages since I last wrote anything and I'm sorry about that. The truth is I have been lazy. Summer went past like super fast and most of my plans got cancelled. I didn't feel like writing about watching netflix or how I was sick for few weeks.

Now it's the end of autumn break and it's been wonderful! On Friday was Miyavi's concert at Nosturi, and it was awesome! I really loved the show, and I have to admit it didn't even matter that I went there alone (I was a bit nervous about that at first).

On Saturday I went to the "I love me" fair with my mom. I was very satisfied with the fair, there were plenty of interesting stands and shows. At first, we went to see "I love fashion" fashion show, which included clothing from eg Jukka Rintala and Mert Otsamo, and also shoes from Minna Parikka. I love Minna Parikkas shoes, especially her "bunny shoes", those are so adorable!
Rest of the time we spent going through different stands. I wish we would have had a bit more time, since we didn't get to go through the whole area. Maybe next time then.
Obviously we both bought a lot of things from the fair, mine listed below. I think my favourite item is the moomin sequin dress by Ivana Helsinki, it's so cute and sparkly!

Midsummer

Great Midsummer!

I spent my Midsummer's Eve home with my mom and my sister. Nothing really fancy, we had nice dinner and went to sauna, and that's pretty much it. I didn't do any Midsummer magics this year or went to a summer cottage. So this year the whole Midsummer has been relaxing and calm.
Today we had a lovely day with my realatives; my mom, my cousin and her parents. I had been craving for crepes for at least a week now and finally today I got to eat some! They were so delicious, like everything else we had on the table.

Finally it's SUMMER!

I had my last day at work on Saturday and now I have about two months of holidays ahead of me. I can't wait to have so much done during the summer! I'm planning on painting, sewing (doing lots of artistic stuff in general) and most importantly spending a lot of time with my friends. I'm going to go on a road trip with Sara and P_Devil next week. I'm enthusiastic to see what's it going to be like, but you'll find out more about the trip later.

Today I went to a.k.a. LUOVA to have my hair cut. I think now it is a lot more what I was looking for when I first decided to cut my hair short. Short from the back, so you can see my tattoo, and longer from the front.

I love vintage style, like from 20s to 60s. I just love the glamour and the elegance. I've wanted a trench coat for ages now and I happened to find this one at Stockmann few days ago and fell in love with it straight away. And you can never go wrong with a trench. Sara was kind enough to go take pictures with me, all the credits go to her for the picture, thank you so much sweetie!

I wanted to pick something comfy but a bit fancy for yesterday to suit for partying and chilling outside. I was a bit sad that pretty much everyone else had a jumpsuit at The Circus, where we went to party with my friends, and I did not, but at least I got my ylioppilaslakki.
I had a great time dancing and chilling with my pals, thanks guys!

Rock the Ballet

So I went to see Rock the Ballet: Romeo and Juliet with P_Devil and Sara, and I have to say it was a marvellous idea!
       The ballet was a wonderful mix of classic ballet and other more modern dances and dance moves with pop/rock music and occasional parts of classical compositions. The story itself was the famous Romeo and Juliet, but it was modernised with few changes such as one of the scenes happening in the red carpet or Romeo having a bachelor party, and of course they were wearing modern clothing, or at least most of them.
        I loved the enthusiasm that all the dancers had and the casting was just perfect, I think every dancer had the perfect role for them. One of my favourite scenes was when Mercutio died (which was a tradegy because I loved that guy and especially his facial expressions), the dancer was just perfect and managed to make the scene dramatic and funny at the same time. It was just a wonderful to see how much sass a character could have.
        All in all it was a really great ballet and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who is even vaguely interested in music, dance or acting. Also it would be a nice choice if you are not that into classic ballet, little more relaxed and modern. And to be completely honest, I would prefer the ballet for the original book, which I'm not such a fan of. 

a new beginning

I wasn't too active with my previous blog (jhellou CupCake), to be honest I just got bored with it. It was no longer what I wanted it to be. I will get a new, fresh start with this one. I try to be a better blogger this time, and my blog will be more like me; more art, more pictures, more fashion and less random texts.

Let's get straight to blogging then.

A while ago we went to take pictures with Nairje and Bogey. The theme for the pictures was Snow Queen and well that meant that I was out there, in the woods, wearing nothing but a dress - I didn't even have shoes on and there was snow on the ground. I have to say it was pretty cold, but worth it.

Thank you Nairje for all these pictures! She is a wonderful photographer, and what is also wonderful is that she can handle my complaining and the ugly faces I throw randomly.
