Its Coral... Whatever

Fall time is great as you can start wearing warm socks, slippers, sweaters, scarfs and the list goes on.. I love bundling up and wearing scarves. I never really mind cold weather, it just means that you have to wear more and dress smartly. One of the most important parts is to keep your feet warm. That's why I love woolen socks and my UGGs. I got these lovely slippers a while back and already broke the sole, too bad they were really warm to wear. I seem to wear out more slippers than I can keep up with. Maybe I drag my feet or something, dunno what the reason but it makes for a good Christmas gift idea for me. I had a sudden urge to get the coral Whatever shirt because it was just so soft but not too thick. Now I'm always afraid to wear it as I have a tendency to mess up all my shirts. Haha.. Thats why I shouldn't wear white. Yet I have noticed that I have a preference for lighter colors and more feminine style. I guess thats related to growing up and finding my own style. I still don't think I have a clear style, but I don't think that matters. I wear what I like and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. For me the main thing is feeling comfortable and feeling good and confident.

I always admire pictures taken of stars but found its quite hard to do. There are so many things to take into consideration and still after all the preparation you end up with not so good results. One night I tried to take pictures of stars and this is what I end up with. I'll have to try it again..

White Sparkle for a Grey Day

I got this lovely sweater last spring and finally had the chance to wear it. I always admired my mother's similar sparkly sweaters and finally got one myself. I especially like the back with the little bows, even though it felt a bit chilly and exposed. Now that I look at these pictures I should have demanded my photographer to utilize angles better. I look so wide in so many of the pictures and the white shirt of course just makes it worse. Oh dear, well you can't always win. It was also nice to wear my brown boots after such a long time. Too bad I don't have a good whole outfit pic but these will just have to do. It felt good to get out of the house for a while and wear normal clothes. At home I just choose to wear the most comfortable things rather than jeans and nice shirts or sweaters. Its rare now for me to have a nice outfit pic so I guess every chance I get I'll utilize it. Anyway time to go plan some baking ideas and a party outfit.

Foxy Fall

I guess I'm rare in the sense that I don't really like Spring but rather love Fall. Well truth be told any season is great as long as it doesn't rain. I can't stand rain, there is nothing worse than getting your feet wet on a cold rainy day. I don't mind cold weather as long as it doesn't rain. I love snow and freezing temperatures coz then the snow doesn't soak your socks. Fall to me is beautiful because of all the beautiful colors, especially warm colors of red, orange and yellow... And of course Halloween.. though this year I won't be doing my traditional big Halloween decorations due to lack of time but I'm still gonna enjoy some pumpkin lanterns. I'm again finding myself rambling on about everything just like the fox I saw during the summer in our yard. Foxes really do make the weirdest and sad sounds I've ever heard, though it sounded nothing like the famous what does the fox say song.
I really must be a boring person, I find myself at a loss for words more often. Especially when I come here to share my pictures I find I have nothing to say. In my current state it doesn't surprise me as I find my brain frozen over for most of the day and only a few days a week I can actually accomplish something. I'd like to get my brain activity back to normal, but I don't think that will happen any day soon. Anyway in the meanwhile I can go back to planning an upcoming party :)

Filter your world

I got some new filters for my camera that help to intensify colors. I'm still practicing how to use them properly, but like in the above picture it helped to make the lake have a more intense color. I also tried out another with the fall colors that I'll be posting later on. I'd really like to try one of the filters during sunset but haven't really had the chance yet as I'm mostly stuck at home. Maybe next summer then. Can't wait to test these with snow, though I heard this winter will have very little snow. I realized I didn't take a picture of the actual filter set so maybe I'll post that later on if I remember. My memory hasn't really been the best of late. Also my ability to tell time has been effected but oh well, time is a relative concept anyway.

The Pink Joy

So these were my last gel nails I got. Way too girly for my taste but quite a nice change. I really miss having gel nails, they were super easy but also right now I can't even recall how it felt to have these nails. Funny how the mind works. I feel like the past month just fly by but also it feels like a lifetime. Luckily I have had some time to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather and colors. I'm even happy that I got to enjoy some long missed coffee from Tim Hortons. Oh the little joys.

Throwback to Summer in Tallinn

Can't believe its October already. Time really flies and apparently last time I posted something I was catching a cold and today I'm hopefully getting better from a high fever. Ironic. I decided earlier that I wouldn't write much about my personal life in detail here and I'm keeping to that but I just have to say my life changed hugely at the end of August. I have learned so much new in this short time and my life will never be the same again in a wonderful way. Its been a tiring time being fully employed all the time and lacking proper sleep but its so rewarding at the same time.
Anyway here are some pictures from a trip to Tallinn. Panda and I took a boat to Tallinn and chose to spend way too much time in the city as the return trip was late in the evening. I have to say my feet were killing me by the end, but then again we saw so much and had time to shop though I was disappointed in the shops. Dunno when I will have another chance to go shopping in the near future though. It was also a really hot day to be walking around so we had to stop several times to get something to drink. We eventually stopped at a park and Panda took a nap. All in all it was a very tiring trip.
I was wearing another cool maxi skirt that I've been using a lot this summer, just didn't realize to take an outfit picture. I was surprised to find a Victoria's Secret in Tallinn, of course just cosmetics but I was glad to get some new shower gel. Also a nice star cardigan and a top from H&M.
