New Sparkle

Where on earth does the time go? Days seem so short, well the dark winter days always seem short coz there is very little day light but still. I feel my brain is affected by this and also the huge lack of sleep I'm suffering from. Oh well I'm still young and this is only a short phase, soon I'll miss these hazy days and the simplicity of life. Anyway can't wait for Christmas, so I can wear my new sparkly top or silver cardigan. I have to say I love that BikBok is now in Lahti. Just LOVE it. Now if we had Zara and maybe Mango, I wouldn't want to go to Helsinki at all.. Well maybe for some Christmas coffee from Starbucks..

The things that have gone by

Soo long time no see. Can't believe I haven't posted since February. I wonder where my time has gone, I was supposed to have a lot of free time but seems I've been too busy. I have been working, traveling to Taiwan and Levi and now trying to clean up my messy messy closet. Actually my place is a mess because I was sick for several days last week and haven't gotten around to cleaning up yet. I must get around to it soon, I hate being in a mess.

A lot of people like spring but I really don't. I don't like it when the snow melts and everything is grey but once the everything gets green and the flowers bloom thats when I go nuts. I love flowers, bright blue skies and warm weather.. Though I don't enjoy hot weather, it makes me uncomfortable. Haha I'm best suited for cool weather.. Also it doesn't help to be sick when there is a heatwave going on, its impossible to breathe. Now that I feel much better its gonna get colder, of course. Anyway here are several pictures of flowers, some food I made for my mother, some lovely purchases from my trip to Taiwan and an awesome gift from my Panda.. I'm totally obsessed with Victoria's Secret, it's pretty much the only place I get lingerie from, not to mention how nice their cosmetics are. 

I always have this problem that I have no idea what to write here. What kinds of things people wanna read, if they wanna read anything at all.. Also my train of thought keeps being distracted, so I bet most of my gibberish makes no sense to you guys reading this. Looking at the pictures of the food I made for my mom, is really making me hungry. I made pulled pork, salad with watermelon and raspberries, a strawberryspriteraspberry drink and a mango cheesecake. 

Also Panda made it easy for himself and got me an early Birthday and Christmas gift, which I totally love love love. Its such a lovely purple color and OMG the brand.. Panda is such a brand conscious person, but I have to say this is awesome. Also its made to fit my macbook, so what would be better. Finally a bag I can fit this enormous laptop in. My mom also wanted to make her life easy and bought e a matching wallet, though I asked for a grey one coz it can be used with all my other bags.

Heritage 1881

Sooooo finally got these pictures out. The places is Heritage 1881, yet ironically the area was built around 1884 but as the number four is unlucky therefore they chose another number :) Anyways its a pretty cool place to see during the evening time with all the lights. We even saw several photographers taking pictures of models in fancy dresses.

So it is a shopping center of sorts with an hotel. My friend was nice enough to mention this place and show us around. I don't think we would have realized this even excited without her, and it was so close the where we were staying.

The hotel reminds me of these old movies I've seen about colonial British places. Very cool, also some pictures of my first visit to Forever 21!! I just love that store and spent several hours there, haha though I didn't get that much from there as I had planned. Gosh both of the things I got have been worn so many times already, there were instant favorites. Alrighty me and my headache are gonna head to sleep now. I hate being sick, hope I feel better tomorrow. Have a good night!

The Missing Panda

Actually in this post you can see some things I got while in Hong Kong. Like the lovely brown bag, star shorts and scarf. I notice that if something has stars, I feel highly attracted to it. I used to complain that there was too few things with stars but now there are plenty to choose from. Somehow I even got my sister interested with stars as well. Too bad I have only a few pictures from the nice sunny summer days, Finnish summer is just so beautiful. I guess one of the reasons Finns love summer is that for a very long period of time we don't really see the sun and then in the short summer we can enjoy it 24 hours a day.

Hahaha, I'm so good at focusing the camera. Well maybe its better that I'm blurry anyway. Oh yeah how pale am I or what?? Below some of my birthday gifts from my family and panda. Stars there too and some cool blue or Tiffany blue :)

A Promise For The New Year

Well I didn't really make a new years promise, more of an attitude change. Going through my closet last summer I realized just how much stuff I have, as in clothes and so on. Yet always there seems to be the problem of what to wear, well seems that is just the way the modern society is. Consumption driven. It would be much better to buy less and wear them out, that way you'd always be stylish lol. So my decision is to minimize my private consumption. Im going to try not to shop till I drop this year and also sell away the clothes that I just simply don't use and if I can't sell them then donate them to charity. I don't want to become one of those shopaholics and also I don't wanna have a closet full of clothes I don't wear and then wear out the ones I like. My goal now is to make it until summer without any purchases clothing wise and if possible the entire year. Lets see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Toronto - Chinatown

So one Saturday day I spent in Toronto. Actually in Chinatown and the area around it, but also in Eaton center. Really wanna visit Eaton center again, need to do some more shopping. VS was neglected on this particular day. Oops, not the best in time management. I should really learn to organize my time better.

I kept waiting for this kind of welcome the whole time, and found it before I left :)

Random Moments in Canada

So more pictures from Canada, didn't really have a theme for this one. Just some pictures I've taken. Like my prepaid phone which I got after the battle to find a provider that can text Finland.. Just stuff like that.

The LG phone.
