the last week of summer

Hullo!

How was your week? It's the last week of  August, so it's the last week of summer over here! Okay well apparently Fall's already been on for ages now, but I decided that summer lasts until the end of August and I like to keep my decisions ;) But now might be good time to officially say bye to the summer clothes, see you next year!

This week went fast with school, hobbies (tennis, violin and the new-ins : kickboxing, pole dancing and working with the little skaters!) friends, rainbows, wearing clothes and at the end of the week helping my sister move out - as you can propably see from the mess in the last oh-so-qualified-mirror-pics. Her new apartment & room seems lovely, I'm already planning some sleep over crashing..

Moikka!

Miten teidän vika kesä viikko meni? Okei joo tiedetään syksy kuulemma alkoi jo ajat sitten, mutta päätin että kesä jatkuu elokuun loppuun asti ja minähän pidän kiinni päätöksistä. ;) Nyt tosin taitaa olla harmi kyllä aika sanoa varsinaisesti moikka kesävaatteille, nähään taas ensi vuonna!

Tämäkin viikko meni nopeasti koulun, harrastusten (tennis, viulu ja niitten uuden toverit: potkunyrkkeily, tankotanssi ja Luistelukoulussa auttaminen!) , kavereitten, sateenkaarien, vaatteiden ja loppuviikosta siskon muuttamisen kanssa - mikä varmaan näkyykin sotkuna noissa vikoissa ah-niin-laadukkaissa-peilikuvissa. Katskun uusi asunto ja varsinkin huone vaikuttaa ihanalta, suunnittelen jo nyt yökyläilyreissuja...

Sooo, I wish you a wonderful beginning of the Fall!

Elikkäs ihanaa syksyn alkua vaan!

School and the City

 

Hullo Honeys!

How are you?

I started high school two weeks ago, and I've really liked it! I didn't quite know what to excpect from my new school, Helsingin Luonnontiedelukio, but I've been positively surprised! It's big, but it has a lot of great people in it and it's really cosy! It's in Helsinki, and I love the fact that I'm now studying in the capital city of Finland! It's not far away so of course I've been there a million times before, but it's completely different to actually go there every day. ;)

Studying's of course a lot harder, I need about three times more time to do my home work than in the spring! (well we didn't get nearly any homework then actually..) But I like the change, it's good to have something different now!

Moikka muruset!

Mitä kuuluu?

Aloitin lukion kaksi viikkoa sitten ja olen tykännyt tosi paljon! En oikeen tiennyt mitä odottaa Hellulta (Helsingin Luonnontiedelukio) , mutta oon yllättynyt positiivisesti! Hellu on tosi iso, mutta joukkoon mahtuu siis paljon ihania ihmisiä ja itse koulu on tuntunut hirmu kotoisalta! Ja musta on ihanaa käydä lukiota Helsingissä! Totta kai Helsingissä on tullut käytyä miljoona kertaa muutoinkin mutta on ihan eri asia mennä sinne joka päivä koulua varten.

Opiskelu on tietysti paljon rankempaa, ja läksyihin menee varmaankin kolme kertaa kauemmin kuin keväällä! (tosin, keväällä meille ei tullutkaan paljoa ollenkaan läksyä..) Mutta muutos on ollut mieluinen, ihana kun on erilaista vaihteeksi!

Oh yeah, I've been watching the Carrie diaries (with the ah-mazing Austin Butler) and I felt really Bradshaw-ish today. Oh Carrie, Carrie please give me your wardrobe.

Juu, Carrien päiväkirjoja (missä on itse ihanuus Austin Butler myös mukanaaa) on tullut katottua ja tänään oli erityisen Bradshawilainen fiilis. Voi kiltti Carrie, vaatekaappisi oisi aika mukava lahja.

Have an amazing week and beginning of autumn!

Ihanaa viikkoa ja syksyn alkua!

fairy dust

Hullo,

How has your week been this far?

My last summer break week has been lovely, I've spent time with friends, shopped school things together with my mom and just chilled.  Today I was in Helsinki with my old school friends, we repeated ourselves and had a picnic in the centrum. We bought grapes and doughnuts and carrots and ice tea and cheese rice cakes and rocky road ice cream (heaven!) . We ate our treats and just layed on the grass and enjoyed the summer. I talked with my friend about this summer, how it has been really lovely! Literally. We both had the same feeling that this summer we've been really happy! It sounds like a cliche or just a basic everyday thing, but that's how we felt. Of course I've not been all smileysmiley but overall this summer has been great, the best one yet! Even though nothing special happened, the summer has been amazing. And it still continues of course! Summer lasts at least until the end of August, that's decided! ;)

Last Sunday was my parents god daughter's confirmation party, so we had again an event where to dress up. I love dresses, so yay!

 

dress from Hawaii, bag Ralph Lauren, ballerinas Forever 21 

lipstick Clarins, nailpolish Mavala (Amsterdam)

Oh and I'm doing this with my laptop! It still the old one but atleast it works! I'm enjoying this while I can...

Tomorrow we'll have a family party of some sort and on Sunday we'll eat with friends the last ice creams of this summer break!

Have a great weekend!

Love, Anna

Presenting: The Hunt

Howdy!

I have some really exciting news for all you clothingcrazy people! I was watching Troye Sivan's vlog (if you don't know him go check his youtube channel right now!!) and he mentioned this new app called The Hunt. It sounded fun so I downloaded it and now I'm totally addicted! 

Moikka!

Mulla on kivoja uutisia kaikille meille vaatehulluille! Katsoin Troye Sivanin vlogia (jos et vielä tiiä kuka hän on niin äkkiä youtubeen!) jossa hän mainitsi uuden sovelluksen nimeltä The Hunt. Se kuulosti kivalta joten latasin sen, ja nyt oon ihan koukussa!

What's the idea?

The idea is that you can ask for help if you're looking for some specific item/style you can't find, want to know how to style for example a skirt of yours or want shopping suggestions. And as a return service you'll help others to find the items/styles they're looking for or list items to shop for them. So you can play stylist or personal shopper, a dream come true! 

 You can also follow someone else's hunt if you too want to find it but don't know where. And your favourite items you can gem so they'll be saved to your profile.

Mikä on The Huntin idea?

Idea on että voit kysyä apua jos etsit jotain tiettyä vaatetta/asustetta/laukkua/tyyliä, haluat stailaus neuvoja esimerkiksi kaapin pohjalla lojuvalle hameelle tai kaipaat ostoslistaa. Vastapalveluksena voit auttaa muita löytämään heidän etsimänsä tuotteet/tyylit ja valita heille vaatteita ostettavaksi. Eli saa leikkiä stylistia ja personal shopperia! Jes! 

 Voit myös seurata (follow) jonkun toisen metsästystä jos itsekkin haluat tietää mistä tuon unelman löytää. Ja lempparit voi merkata jalokiviksi (gem) niin ne tallentuvat omaan profiiliisi.

How it works?

Download the app from appstore for free, sign in and start hunting!

Kuinka The Hunt toimii?

Lataa sovellus ilmaiseksi appstoresta, rekisteröidy ja aloita metsästys!

I love it since it's not overly popular yet and it was like our little secret, but I had to share it with you guys! Hopefully you'll like it as much as I do! You can find my profile by searching up @aduaa :)

Musta on ihanaa ettei The Hunt vielä ole liian suosittu  ja se oli ikäänkuin meidän käyttäjien oma pikku salaisuus, mutta oli ihan pakko jakaa se teidän kanssa! Toivottavasti tykkäätte yhtä paljon kuin minä! Oma profiilini löytyy hakemalla käyttäjän @aduaa :)

Have a lovely day!

Ihanaa päivää teille!

Love, Anna

don't just be another brick in the wall

Howdy!

How are you doing?

I had a a great, warm week with friends, tennis, summer cottage and sun!

So I finally went to the hairdresser! I needed to cut my dead ends but I also wanted something different from what I had and what everyone had. I didn't want to dye my hair completely or even higlight it since it has kept it natural color this far (and gotten free blondening thanks to the sun!) , my hairs too thin for a frinch and it has taken me forever to grow my hair this long so I didn't wanna cut it. Out of options? Noooo

I decided to go back a couple of years and get a dip dye! Oh yes I know that it's done already and I've done it already (purple and pink two years ago) but atleast it's not too popular anymore and this kind of combination I haven't seen on anyone. Even googling the example pictures was a biy hard since not many blondes wanted a black dipdye, but I anyway joined the few! I'm really happy with the result even though my hairdresser at Redpoint was a bit wondering about it before actually doing it. What do you think? 

Moi!

Mitä kuuluu? Mulla on ollut tosi kiva ja lämmin viikko kavereitten, mökkeilyn, tenniksen ja auringon kanssa!

Menin sitten vihdoinkin kampaajalle! Huonojen latvojen leikkaamisen lisäksi halusin jotain vaihtelua,erilaista mitä mulla oli ja mitä muilla on. En kuitenkaan halunnut värjätä mun omaa sävyä pois (tää auringon tekemä ilmainen vaalennus kelpaa hyvin!), mun hiukset on liian ohuet kivalle otsatukalle ja lyhyeksi leikkaaminen ei innostanut ihan vielä koska tänkin pituuden saavuttaminen vei ikuisuuden. Eihän jäljelle jäänyt oikeen mitään vaihtoehtoja?

Mutta hätä keinot keksii! (nää suomalaiset sanonnat on kyllä mainioita) Palasin pari vuotta taaksepäin ja otin dippivärjäyksen! Tiiän että se on jo vähän vanha juttu ja mulla ittellänikin oli pinkki-liilat latvat pari vuotta sitten kun trendi oli erityisen suosittu, mutta eipähän nyt enää oo liian monella samaa. Ja mustia latvoja en oo kenelläkään blondilla nähnyt, joten kiva että sen puoleen erilainen. Oon ite tosi tyytyväinen lopputulokseen vaikka kampaaja Redpointissa vähän epäröi ennen kuin nää hiukset maalasi. Mitä mieltä te ootte?

Have a lovely Sunday!

Ihanaa sunnuntaita!

ilosaarirock

Hullo!

How are you?

I'm at the moment in the car with my sister and grandfather, we're driving to Leppävirta to see our relatives. Last weekend I spent in Joensuu at Ilosaarirock. It was a really well organized and also otherwise a really good event! And there were some really amazing artists (like -tadadadaa- Ellie Goulding!). It was a lot different than Summer Up so they can't really be compared, but I was happily surprised with both of them and both in their own ways. Ilosaarirock was more easy going and a lot of people just lay on the grass while listening go music, in Summer Up all the people were in one big pile 'dancing' and 'singing' (a.k.a. bouncing and shouting). And the athmosphere was different also just because of the different music styles. But both had in common the fact that people had lovely clothes! The leis weren't so popular in Ilosaarirock as in Summer Up -there almost everyone had one- and there were some really cool rock-styled outfits, but some of the same elements were in both. I captured some of my favourite outfits and artists.

Moi!

Olen tällä hetkellä autossa siskon ja isoisäni kanssa menossa kohti Leppävirtaa sukulaisia tapaamaan. Viime viikonloppu meno Joensuussa Ilosaarirockissa, oliko muita sielläpäin myös? Mun mielestä Ilosaarirock oli tosi hyvin järjestetty festari, ja siellä oli iso kasa super hyviä artisteja (mm. Ellie Goulding! Jonka bussiin Suomeen tullessa oli muuten kirjotettu Ellie Glouding, voi nolous!). Se ja Summer Up olivat ihan erilaisia festareita joten siksi hankala verrata, mutta molemmat iso positiivinen yllätys! Ilosaarirock oli rennompi ja siellä ihmiset usein vain makoili nurmikolla ja kuunteli musiikkia, Summe Upissa oltiin yhessä kasassa käsiä heiluttelemassa. Ja koska festareilla oli eri musiikkityylit niin oli tunnelmakin tietysti erilainen. Molempia kuitenkin yhdisti se, että kävijöillä oli ihania vaatteita! Leit ei ollut Ilosaarirockissa ihan yhtä yleisiä kuin Summer Upissa jossa niitä oli lähes jokaisella, mutta muita yhteisiä asutekijöitä kyllä löytyi. Kuvasin joitakin lempiasujani ja lempiartistejani.

As well as over 30 artists live, I saw Heidi Tuominen, a huge blog idol of mine! She was soo sweet and I was so excited to actually meet her even just for a really short time after following her blog for about two years! If you yet haven't, you definitely have to check out her blog, Searching for the LBD

Reilun 30 artistin lisäksi näin jonkun muun josta olin vähintään yhtä innoissaan, Heidi Tuomisen! Hän on yksi isoimmista blogi-idoleistani ja olen seurannut hänen blogia jo reilu puoltoista vuotta, joten oli tosi upeeta nähdä hänet kasvokkain vaikkakin ihan lyhyesti! Heidi oli vielä sydämellisempi ja ihanampi ihminen luonnossa kun mitä voisi lukemalla päätellä, mikä on jo paljon! Jos et vielä oo lukenut niin käy ehottomasti kattomassa Heidin blogi, Searching for the LBD

Ihanaa viikkoa!

Have a great week!

Love, Anna

summer trough iPhone

Moi!

This summer has gone soo fast! Well the time flies when you have fun, right? I've definitely had fun and hopefully you too! Here's an update of what I've been upto lately, what have you guys been doing?

  

On the second last school week we nineth graders went to Särkänniemi amusement park

And we had a class tournament (so we were the 'a-class girls obviously)

The school year was finalised with 9th graders dance

And on the graduation day we celebrated a little of the ending of my secondary school and mostly the graduation of my sister. We baked a lot and had about 100 guests coming so everything got eaten!

The holiday started with my school friends at Montturock, a free music event in my Town

Huge news! They opened a Burger King in Tuusula! So of course we had to go celebrate the opening 

Me and my skating friend Aino went to the Magnum event where designed our own ice creams 

I was 'tutoring' on a confirmation camp in Hungary with these other guys (one missing tought)

At the end of the camp we went to Budapest to visit sights and do some shopping

Our group was soo lovely!

On 17th of June I turned sixteen!

So I celebrated it with really simply with my friends

I spent a weekend at our summer cottage

Where we also celebrated midsummer, with the traditional bonfire

I stayed a few days at my grandparents where we tried baking different kinds of rubarb pies, yum!

On the confirmation day I went to help to the church and celebrate our 'little ones' with my graduation dress and green eye shadow for a change

Me & Kristiina went to Järvenpää to eat chinese buffet in Kin sushi, it was so good!

Me and my classmate met with our own confirmation camp friend in Helsinki  and ate a great salad buffet in cafe Jugend, I really recommend!

After that we went to see the transformers 4 with our classmate. I've also been to the movies to see Divergent & Maleficent with my friends, and of course did some shopping as well...

Last weekend was Summer Up! The biggest urban music festival in Finland

Happy festival life

dress - H&M

We tried this bull rodeo thing! Was so much fun, I stayed over there for 10 secs

On the second day we got more company and even better artistist plus this purple party thing ~ even more fun!

We saw the best Finnish (plus Sean Paul and Tinie Tempah) artists from the first rows

On Sunday we had a picnic in Helsinki (I found my new ice cream favorite, rocky road from ingman!❤️)

Of course I've had just some me time and the true holiday spirit as well, like yesterday

skirt - Bikbok, shirt - Bikbok, ballerinas - Vagabond

So now the summer (weather) has actually started also here and I'm gonna take all out of it! I'm leaving to my friends summer cottage in couple of hours and then on the weekend I'm going to Ilosaarirock, another music festival with my godparents family. So I should go packing now (and eat some breakfast, my holiday routines start a little bit later than normally..) , I hope that you're all having an amazing summer!

Love, Anna
