Weekend

2012-01-29T21:44:00.003+02:00

This weekend was so busy, I literally flew from one place to another. On Saturday, we took a little time out and went to Pürovel Spa at Swissôtel. It was nice not to do anything and just rest for a change. Plus, the view from the 11th floor over Tallinn was amazing!

See nädalavahetus oli nii tihedalt sisustatud, et ma reaalselt lendasin ühest kohtast otse teise. Laupäeval võtsime Oskariga aja maha ja läksime Pürovel Spasse Swissôtelis. Mõnus oli vahelduseks lihtsalt mitte midagi teha ja puhata. Pluss 11. korruselt oli mega lahe vaade!

New in my wardrobe

2012-01-26T22:22:00.001+02:00

Here are some of my latest purchases. Can't wait to wear them. Thank god it's weekend soon, maybe I can even wear my glitter skirt from Romwe? It would go well with the moustache ring I found from eBay and the simple black clutch from Vero Moda (Their new Spring collection is gorgeous!). I also got some essentials for the freezing weather - a warm sweater from H&M, jeans from Zara and brown leather gloves I've already been wearing for the past week. Oh, and the bowknow bag! It kind of looks like my favourite bag from Miu Miu, a bow satchel. I have it in sughero, but I really liked it pomice.It's from VJ-Style. They have a great selection of bags and deciding by my bag, with great quality as well.

Siin on mõned mu viimastest ostudest. Ma ei jõua ära oodata, millal neid kanda saaks. Õnneks on nädalavahetus lähedal, võibolla saan isegi litritega seelikut Romwest kanda? See sobiks hästi mu vuntsidega sõrmusega, mille leidsin eBayst ja selle lihtsa musta clutchiga Vero Modast (Nende uus kevadkollektsioon on väga kena!). Kui ilm seelikut kanda ei luba, saan kanda sooja kampsunit, mille leidsin H&Mist, Zara teksasid ja pruune nahkkindaid, mis ma leidsin Seppäläst. Ja lõpuks, lipsuga kott. See meenutab väga mu lemmik Miu Miu kotti bow satchel, mis mul on toonis sughero, aga mulle meeldis see väga ka pomice toonis. See on selliselt lehelt nagu Vj-Style. Neil on päris korralik kotivalik ja minu koti järgi vaadates, ka väga kvaliteetne.

Fashion Blogs at lounge Rumours

2012-01-22T19:20:00.002+02:00

On Friday I went to lounge Rumours to see what this new event "Fashion Blog" was all about. We enjoyed great cocktails, even better company and a fun Vero Moda lounge show!

Dress - Motel Rocks

Belt - Vintage

Heels - Romwe

Reedel läksime sõbrannadega lounge Rumoursisse, et vaadata, mida kujutab endast uus üritus "Fashion Blogs". Nautisime häid kokteile, veel paremat seltskonda ja lõbusat Vero Moda salongishowd.

A day in Stockholm

2012-01-18T21:13:00.003+02:00

So, I'm back from Stockholm. We were a bit unlucky with the weather, arrived back to the ship soaking wet, but it was still very fun! So... how did we spend our day in Stockholm.

18:00
Arrived at the cruise ship and enjoyed the programme from St. Petersburg performers.

10:00

Got off the boat and started exploring the city.

Swedish sweets - a great souvenir to bring home

12:00

Walked to the Fotografiska Museet. I expected more from it, but still the exhibitions were interesting and unique. I loved the pictures about the children of Haiti by Ron haviv and the work of Anton Corbijn, who has photographed many celebrities in a unique way.

Anton Corbijn "Lance Armstrong"

14:00

Some mandatory shopping and walking around in the Gamla Stan. I didn't get anything remarkable from the shopping trip, just some basics.

16:00
Our last stop before heading back to the ship - Ice Bar. The whole bar was made from ice, 30 tons of it.

We even got capes to stay warm in the bar, the temperature there was -5C.

Even the shot glasses were made from the Nordic ice!

18:00
After getting lost, we managed to arrive at the port just in time. We were so hungry, I think we ate more than anyone else at the buffe. I made myself a chocolate-vanilla ice cream dessert with caramel and chocolate sauce, fruits and berries, which I finished off with a yoghurt cake!

Niisiis, natuke Stockholmist.

Õhtul vaatasime etenduse programmi St Peterburist.

Hommikul vaatasime linna peal ringi ja siis suundusine Fotografiska museetisse. Natuke olin selles pettunud, ootasin midagi suuremat, aga siiski, seal oli päris mitu huvitavat näitust, näiteks Haiti lastest ja kuulsuste portreepiltidest.

Peale seda läksime edasi vanalinna ja shoppama. Midagi erilist ei leidnud endale kahjuks.

Õhtul läksime Ice Bari, baari, mis on üleni jääst tehtud, isegi shotiklaasid. Kokku 30t jääd!

Peale linnapeal ekslemist jõudsime lõpuks laeva tagasi, meganäljastena, nii et suundusime otse rootsi lauda, kus ma suutsin endale valmistada vanilje-shokolaadi jäätise shokolaadi ja karamelli kastmega, puuviljade ning marjadega!

What I wore - school

2012-01-17T19:08:00.001+02:00

On Friday we had some time to kill so we decided to go eat sushi with the girls to hide from the snowstorm. I hope in Stockholm, the weather will be better, beacuse snow falling from every side is only beautiful to look from warm room through the window and walking around in the city and shopping is not the best way to spend a day like this one.

Shirt - Hilfiger

Coat - Romwe

Bag - Vintage

Jeans - Zara

Ring - H&M

Cardigan - Vintage

Lootsin selle postituse üles saada pühapäeval, aga Bloggeri schedule süsteem ei ole just kõige korralikum, niiet nüüd Rootsist tagasi olles nägin, et see polegi üles läinud. Aga tagantjärgi siis...
Reedel oli vaja veidike aega parajaks teha ja läksime tüdrukutega sushit sööma ja tormi eest peitu. Loodan, et Stockholmis selline ilm pole, sest lumesadu alt üles on ilus ainult aknast vaadates ja selle käes linna vaadata-shopata ei ole just kõige lõbusam.

A midnight cocoa

2012-01-12T23:45:00.004+02:00

It's not very common for me to make these midnight posts, but I just had to share this delicious cocoa I made (extra rich with whipped cream, cinnamon and chili)! Sometimes, when I can't get to sleep, I make it for myself and it always helps. Hope it works today as well, because I have to get up early tomorrow. My only motivation is that in just a few minutes, it's FIRDAY and the long-awaited weekend.

It will be a fun one, on Sunday I will go to a Stockholm cruise for 3 days. I'm in need for a short getaway! We'll be visiting the Fotografiska Museet, Ice bar, I can practice my Swedish and of course there will be some serious shopping and partying! Can't wait.

Sellised kesköised postitused ei ole minu puhul väga tavalised, aga lihtsalt pidin teiega jagama oma imelist kakaod. Joon alati õhtuti kakaod (eriti rammust, vahukoore, kaneeli ja tšilliga), kui mul und ei ole. Selle tegemine võtab nii kaua, et alati tuleb uni peale. Loodame, et täna töötab ka, sest homme peab vara ärkama. Mu ainuke motivatsioon on, et ainult mõne minuti pärast, on lõpuks REEDE ja kauaoodatud nädalavahetus.

Pühapäev tuleb eriti lõbus, sest lähen Stockholmi kruiisile. Ma lihtsalt vajan hetkel ühte mini-puhkust! Me külastame Fotografiska Museet', Ice Bari, ma saan oma rootsi keelt praktiseerida ja loomulikult toimub ka tõsine shoppamine! Ma ei jõua ära oodata.

Camel jacket

2012-01-07T18:39:00.003+02:00

I must show you this new jacket I got. I had been looking for something brownish-beige for a long time and when I spotted one at Romwe, I knew I had to get it!
And I was postively surprised at how warm it actually is, because the fabric doesn't look that warm. Of course, I got to test it when pile of snow fell down the sky and it seems like the snowing will never stop. The only things that didn't survive the cold, were my boots, which obviously weren't made for snow, so next mission - boots!

Jacket - Romwe

Boots - Brooklyn flea

Bag - H&M

Jeans - Zara

Sarf - Piesces

Ma pean teile näitama oma uut jakki. Ma olin midagi sellist pruunikat-beežikat otsinud väga kaua ja kui ma Romwes seda nägin, teadsin, et pean selle saama.
Ja ma olin väga positiivselt üllatunud selles, kui soe see on, sest ausalt öeldes, see materjal ei tundu väga külmale vastu pidav. Sain selle soojust muidugi testida täna, kui maha sadas hunnik lund ja järjest rohkem tuleb juurde. Ainsad, mis lumele vastu ei pidanud, olid mu saapad, mis ilmselgelt ei olegi mõeldud lumes sumpamiseks. Nii et järgmine missioon - saapad!

Staying in

2011-12-18T19:00:00.000+02:00

Today, it was raining and snowing and overall it was the perfect day for staying in. So we decided to make sushi. We hadn't made it since summer, so the first rolls were kind of disasterous, but finally, we ended up with three large plates of different makis, which will take probably the rest of our lives to eat.
But the sweater I'm wearing, it has to be my this winter's favourite. It's so soft and warm and comfy! The sweater and blouse are both from Romwe.

Täna sadas vihma/lörtsi ja üldse oli täielik kodus istumise päev. Nii et otsustasime sushit teha. Me polnud suvest saadik teinud, nii et paar rulli läksid päris metsa, aga lõpuks saime kolm suur taldrikutäit erinevaid makisid, mida me saame vist terve elu süüa nüüd.
Seljas on mul kampsun, mis saab kindlasti sellel talvel mu lemmikuks, sest see on nii pehme ja soe ja mõnus. Kampsun ja pluus on mõlemad Romwest.

A Very Tallinn Dolls Xmas

2011-12-16T20:00:00.000+02:00

Yesterday, I went to a Tallinn Dolls Christmas event with my lovely girls. Like always, we enjoyed fun athmosphere and delicious drinks. I carried my heavy camera with me the whole time, but when I finally started taking photos, I dicsovered, that it was broken. I had switched the lens to a new one earlier and something wasn't working out. Luckly, we all had our phones that saved us from having no pictures at all.
At the event, there was also an official shoot in TD mini-studio so we all got our makup and hair fixed and dressed in Tallinn Dolls, it was fun!

Eile õhtul käisime tüdrukutega Tallinn Dollsi jõuluüritusel. Nagu ikka oli mõnus seltskond ja hea meeleolu. Tassisin terve õhtut oma kaamerat kaasa, aga kui lõpuks tekkis võimalus pilte teha, avastasin, et kuna olin kodus objektiivi ära vahetanud, siis kaamera seda ei tunnistanud ja lihtsalt ei teinud pilte, mis oli väga hirmutav mu jaoks, kartsin et nüüd olengi sellest ilma. Õnneks tubli telefon päästis meid hädast välja.
Üritusel toimus ka ametlik pildistamine mini-fotostuudios, nii et saime kõik Tallinn Dollsi riietatud ja meigi-soengu. Väga lõbus oli!

2 years of MOOD

2011-12-13T20:00:00.001+02:00

Yesterday, I went to celebrate MOOD magazine's second birthday at Lounge Butterfly. Nice cozy atmosphere, delicious food and drinks and of course the amazing collection by Britt Samoson. It felt so much different at this lounge as it was at Tallinn FW.
Happy Birthday MOOD!

As for the outfit, it's so much different from what I usually love to wear, because rarely you see me in all black. But I discovered that there are fun ways to match black with black so I tried it out!

Shorts - Romwe
Blouse - Romwe
Jacket - Zara

Eile toimus Lounge Butterflys ajakirja MOOD teise sünnipäeva tähistamine. Mõnus hubane õhkkond, head söögid-joogid ja loomulikult Britt Samosoni imeline kollektsioon. Salongimoeshowl sai seda hoopis uue pilguga vaadata kui TFW'l.
PALJU ÕNNE MOOD!

Outfit oli seekord väga erinev sellest, mida tavaliselt armastan kanda, sest väga harva näeb mind üleni mustas. Aga avastasin, et must mustaga võib ka väga huvitav olla ja otsustasin proovida. Jakk on Zarast, püksid ja pluus Romwest :)

Photo Thursday

2011-12-07T22:17:00.005+02:00

I have so many pictures in my phone and I decided to share a small amount of them with you. Nothing fancy, just everyday life, but suits well for a photo Thursday!

1. row: Pictures of a shoot I had with Hanna (photographer) and Janika (model). The set was awesome, an industral building with working men with yellow helmets and dusty air and huuuge halls full of metal and other shiny stuff. It was fun!
2. row: Christmas spirit all the way! The Christmas market in the old town, my superawesome Cookie Monster stocking and Pooh advent calendar.
3. row: A trip to fabric store + so many diy ideas in my head = million kilos of fabric.
Donating blood for the first time. Wasn't as scary as I thought it was be!
The final gala of The Black Nights Film Festival.

Telefoni on kogunenud nii palju pilte ja otsustasin neid teiega ka jagada. Midagi fancyt ei ole, igapäevaelu ja jõulumeeleolu rohkem, aga pildi-neljapäeva jaoks sobib!

1. rida: Hanna (fotograaf) ja Janikaga (modell) käisime pildistamas ühes tehasehoones. Meid ümbritsesid kollastes kiivrites töömehed, tolmune läbipaistmatu õhk ja megasuur suur. Real deal ikka. Väga lõbus oli!
2. rida: Jõulumeeleolu! Jõuluturg, minu Cookie Monsteriga jõulususs ja Puhhi advendikalender.
3. rida: Külastus kangapoodi + palju diy ideesid = miljon kilo riiet.
Annetasin elus esimest korda verd. Ei olnudki nii hirmus kui ma ette kujutasin!
Pöffi lõpugalal!

Vintage Tallinn

2011-12-04T18:30:00.001+02:00

Last week, I visited an event called Vintage Tallinn. It was held for the fifth time, bu I hadn't been there before. Sadly, we didn't have much time so we had to check out the amazing pieces on speed, but it was great to see so many different vintage stores represented there.

Sweater - Vintage
Jeans - Zara
Cardigan - Zara
Heels - Romwe
Bag - H&M
Bracelets - Lindex, H&M

Eelmine nädal külastasin sellist üritust nagu Vintage Tallinn. Toimus see 5. korda, aga varem polnud kahjuks sinna jõudnud. Pidime selle kahjuks suure kiiruga läbi käima, nii et endale midagi ei jõudnud soetada, aga põnevat kaupa oli päris palju. Ja lahe on näha, et nii palju erinevaid vintage poode on Tallinnasse tekkinud. Pean kindlasti mõni päev nende külastamise ette võtma.

December COSMOPOLITAN

2011-11-26T21:15:00.003+02:00

I told you about how I won the title of the most stylish seller at the Cosmopolitan Glam Fair. The main prize was a photoshoot with Laura Kallasvee. A couple of weeks ago we shot the pictures at her studio and now the December issue is out, where you can see the outcome.

Skirt - Karen Millen
Blouse/jacket/bracelets/boots - Bershka
Necklace - Expressions
Bow tie - Kaubamaja

Dress - Karen Millen
Bracelets - Expressions

Shirt - Bershka
Topknot - Seppälä

Rääkisin teile, kuidas Cosmo Glämmilaadal sain stiilseima müüja tiitli, millega kaasnes fotosessioon Laura Kallasvee stuudios. Paar nädalat tagasi pildistasime selle ära ja nüüd ilmuski detsembrinumber, kus tulemus sees.

Tallinn Dolls

2011-11-24T20:57:00.002+02:00

Today, me and Sälly went to the opening of Tallinn Dolls' new flagship stope. With her, I went to their pop-up store opening as well, which was megafun, so it was a great repeat of that evening. Nice music, good drinks, pretty people and ever prettier new collection!

Blouse - Primark
Heels - Romwe
Skirt - Zara

Täna käisime Sällyga Tallinn Dollsi esinduspoe avamisel. Temaga käisime ka TD pop-up poe avamisel Lounge Museumis, kus oli megafun, nii et oli lahe kordus õhtule. Mõnus muusika, head joogid, ilusad inimesed ja veel kenam uus kollektsioon!

Your days in one this day undone

2011-11-16T21:00:00.004+02:00

We wanted to use the last warm days of this autumn, so I got my new heels and dress from Romwe and we were off to the seaside. The heels seem like the most unpractical thing in the climate like this, but actually, they have turned out to be the most popular choice the last week. Girls wearing the sluttiest clothes give me the bitchiest looks on the street, though. I told it to everybody and they didn't believe me, but finally they got some proof. It was hilarious.
But about the pictures, don't you think pictures with moving composition look better in b&w? Well, you have to agree that they at least look classier in b&w?

Dress - Romwe
Heels - Romwe
Belt - Vintage
Cardigan - Zara

Liikuva kompaga pildid on palju ilusamad mustvalgena, onju? Või ma olen ainuke, kellele jaoks need kaks asja koos käivad. Aga mustvalged pildid on classymad, selle vastu ei vaidle küll keegi.
Igatahes, kasutasime ära sügise viimaseid soojasid ilmasid, et ära pildistada see imeline kleit ja veel imelisemad kingad Romwest. Kuigi need kingad tunduvad kõige ebapraktilisemad asjad meie kliimas, on need viimasel ajal osutunud kõige kantavamateks mu garderoobis. Tänaval saan kõige sluttymalt riietuvatelt naistelt alt üles vaatavaid bitchipilke millegipärast ainult. Kurtsin seda kõigile ja nad ainult naersid ja arvasid et ma kujutan ette, aga lõpuks said nad ka kinnitust sellele.

GIVEAWAY!

London, Part III

2011-11-10T19:55:00.001+02:00

And we have made it to the last days in London. Posting these pictures here is a sad moment, like leaving London for the second time. God how much I love this city!

One morning we drove to Kensington, we called it the 'museum day'. Everything was so beautiful there, but almost too artificial. Like a scene in a Hollywood movie. But still, it was nice walking around there, surrounded by pastel coloured houses.

Fist, we decided to visit the Victoria & Albert museum.

I loved their photography exposition. There weren't that many pictures displayed, but the selection was amazing.

I was so happy, when I saw a photo by Cindy Sherman, my favourite photographer of all time. I must have stood there for quite some time, because Oskar had to come look for me.

A stage outfit for Coldplay's Viva la Vida tour, by Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen's dress peeking in the left corner.

Next stop - National History Museum. Even the entrance looked awesome!

Here's the thing - we were so enthralled by the minerals' exhibition, we spent there so much time we didn't make it to the dinosaurs! They closed the dinosaours' exhibition right before we got there. But... aren't the minerals amazing!

Next morning, Brick Lane. I was so sad, we couldn't go there on Sunday because our plane left too early.

On a doubledecker!

Feeling inspired at Camden Town.

London, Part II

2011-11-06T22:09:00.007+02:00

The next days we wandered round London. We purposly didn't have a map, you can see so much more when you get lost, otherwise you just trudge from one destination to another.

One morning, our host Johanna took us to a diner where we had a traditional English breakfast with beans, sausages, eggs and everything. It was delicious and kept my stomach full for the whole day.

Later on, we went to see the Buckingham palace's changing of the guard. We arrived early, but already then it was so crowded. At first it wasn't really exciting, everything took place behing the gates. But later they started playing hits from the musicals, so that was fun.

In NY I fell in love with the Plaza hotel and was destined to live there. In London, I found out that there are apartments on sale at the Royal Horseguards Hotel, which is my favourite building in London...

A city where the most popular car is ivory Mini Cooper screeeeams classy...

It's a tradition to go to a photobooth every time we travel. This time we went to this crazy Asian photobooth... mall. Walls covered with pictures and about 5 or more stations. We literally spent hours there!

We wanted to get something to eat at Chinatown, but it was quite late so every place we went to was closed. We ended up having the worst dinner I have ever had. We orded Domino Pizza to home to make up for the experiece. You can't go wrong with pizza...

Järgmised päevad hulkusime ka Londonis ringi. Põhimõtte pärast ei kasutanud kordagi kaarti, meil isegi polnud seda. Väga suurepäraselt saime hakkama, ringi ekseldes nägi palju rohkem kui sihtkoast sihtkohta kõmpides.

Ühel hommikul viis Johanna meid klassikalist inglise hommikusööki sööma. Kõht sai nii täis ja püsis sellisena terve päev (ja pool järgmist päeva ka).
Hiljem läksime vahtkonnavahetust vaatamas. Jõudsime sinna vara, aga rahvast oli murdu. Midagi eriti ei näinud, sest kogu tegevus toimus väravate taga, aga kui muusikalihitte mängima hakkati, läks lõbusaks.
New Yorgis armusin ma ära Plaza hotelli, Londonis Royal Horseguardsi hotelli. Tuli välja, et sinna müüakse ka kortereid...
Meie traditsiooniks reisidel on teha pilte photoboothis. Seekord sattusime hiiglaslikku Aasia photoboothi kaubamajja, kus oli miljon erinevat masinat, üks põnevam kui teine. Kõik muidugi hiinakeelsed. Suutsime seal mitu tundi veeta.
Õhtul üritasime Chinatownis õhtusööki saada, aga kõik kohad olid juba kinni, ainus koht, mis lahti oli, pakkus kõige rõvedama toiduelamuse, mis ma elus saanud olen. Läksime koju ja tellisime Domino pitsat hoopis!

London, Part I

2011-11-03T20:48:00.010+02:00

I'm so glad we got lucky with the weather in London. Soaking in rain for a week is not my kind of vacation and I could leave my winter clothes home, which meant more space in the luggage shopping!
On the first days we tried to see as much you could in a week. All the main tourit spots like London Eye, Big Ben, Madame Tussauds etc. were in schedual. In NY we didn't visit the Ripley's museum, so we decided to go there as well. We managed to do so much, but in the evenings we were dead tired.

A walk at the Regent's park
-Oskar fell in love with squirrels and we had to spend at least few hours watching them jump and eat.
-Roses had cute names.
-I stole a mistletoe, put in in my bag and got stung by it a couple of times.

The London Eye
-The view was ah-mazing!
-An adorable little girl had a Union Jack handbag so I had to get one for my little sister as well.

Madame Tussaud's
-Old people look better in wax.
-It's so much fun taking pictures with every statue. Even though I'll probably never watch the pictures.

A walk arund the city
-Getting lost in London feels amazing. Really.
-Everything looks classier in London. The money, taxis, everything...
-London at night is even prettier than during the day!

Ma olen nii õnnelik, et meil Londonis ilmaga vedas. Nädal aega vihmas liguneda poleks väga lõbus olnud, aga peaaegu iga päev paistis päike ja talveriideid polnudki vaja kaasa võtta (mis oleks mu shoppamiseks mõeldud kohvrile väga liiga teinud).
Esimestel päevadel tegime nii palju sightseeingut, kui üldse võimalik on. Kõik põhilised kohad, Big Ben ja London Eye ja Madame Tussaud ja muu said läbi käidud. New Yorgis me Ripley'sse ei jõudnud, selle pärast tahtsime Londonis olles ka seal kindlasti ära käia. Nii palju jõudsime teha, aga veel rohkem ootas veel ees (mu eesmärk oli nädala jooksul nii palju näha, kui võimalik :D). Õhtuti olime alati surmväsinud.

Halloween in London

2011-11-01T19:07:00.003+02:00

I'm back from the most awesome London trip, trying to adjust to life in Estonia again :D. The holiday week is over and even on the first day of school, it felt like there had been no week off and school had been going of since for ever...
Since Halloween is the most recient event, I thought I'd start with that, though It's actually our very last day in London. A fun evening with the Estonian community in London (there were only 2 not estonians with us). I was corpse bride. Since I had a blue wig, it was between Marge Simpson, Corpse Bride and Katy Perry. Since I couldn't find a green dress and cupcake bra would have been a tough-one too, I went with corpse bride. Although during the evening, everybody still thought I was Katy...

And check out this awesome gif Johanna made

You can see more of these here.

Kõige lõbusamalt Londoni reisilt tagasi, üritan Eesti eluga harjuda uuesti :D. Vaheaeg on läbi ja juba esimesel päeval koolis olles oli tunne, nagu vaheaega poleks olnudki ja kool oleks juba igaviku kestnud.
Kuna Halloween on kõige hiljutisem sündmus, alustan ühe Halloweeni teemalise postitusega, kuigi see oli tegelikult meie viimane päev Londonis. Lõbus õhtu Eesti communityga Londonis (meie seltskonnas oli kokku ainult 2 mitte-eestlast). Mina olin laibast pruut. Kuna mul oli sinine parukas kaasas, oli mu tehniliselt kolm varianti, kes olla: Marge Simpson, Corpse Bride või Katy Perry... Kuna ma rohelist kleiti hankida ei suutnud ja cupcake bra'ga oleks ka raskeks läinud läksin laibapruudi peale välja. Kuigi õhtu jooksul arvati siiski, et tegelikult olen ma Katy...

I'm on an airplane to London, so taking a week off from blogging to enjoy the city! ✈

Olen lennukis, teel Londonisse ja võtan nädalase puhkuse blogimisest, et linna nautida! ✈

Kakerdaja

2011-10-19T20:41:00.000+03:00

Nature photographs are not that common in my blog, but I went to Kakerdaja bog with my family and the nature there was so amazing, I had to share it with you. So idyllic, we walked to a picturesque lake, picked cranberries and roasted marshmallows on the bonfire. When all the insects are hibernating, I can totally enjoy wildlife, but overall, you can't really find me on forests or bogs because I'm a total phobic because of the bugs.

Loodusfotosid mu blogis just väga tihti ei näe, aga käisime perega Kakerdaja rabas Järvamaal, mis oli imeilus, nii et otsustasin neid pilte teiega jagada. Täielik idüll. Jalutasime piltilusa järve äärde, korjasime jõhvikaid ja grillisime tokkide otsas vahukomme. Kui kõik putukad juba magavad, võin mina vabalt looduses olla, aga üldiselt ma putukate tõttu tihti kuhugile metsa või rabasse ei satu, ma olen täielik foobik.

Thbilisi meets Tallinn

2011-10-16T20:00:00.003+03:00

This Friday, I went to FIBIT's opening gala Tallinn meets Thbilisi, where Georgian designers' presented their collections. I didn't know much about Georgian fashion so it was nice to see George Shagashvili, Simon Machabeli, Tamuna Ingorokva ja Datuna Sulikashvili's work.

Finished this collar for the blouse about 2 minutes before heading to the show. I love how it turned out!

Shirt - DIY/Vintage
Skirt - Zara
Wedges - H&M
Cape - Romwe

The show begun with Estonian fashion - a lovely collection by Tallinn Dolls.

I completely fell in love with the designes of this Georgian designer Tamuna Ingorkova, she's amazing. The colours and fabrics were so well picked.

This Georgian model was so gorgeous! And her face is darling. Does anyone know her name?

Reedel käisin Viru keskuses FIBITi avagaalal Tallinn meets Thbilisi, kus sai laval näha Gruusia moedisainerite loomingut (George Shagashvili, Simon Machabeli, Tamuna Ingorokva ja Datuna Sulikashvili) ning kohalikku Tallinn Dollsi.

COSMOPOLITANI Glämmilaat

2011-10-11T18:51:00.004+03:00

So, on Friday we went to Cosmopolitan's glam fair. I had never been there before, but since I found so many thing I didn't use anymore, I thought I'd give it a try. I packed so many shoes, coats and other heavy things with me I don't know what was I thinking. Somehow we managed to get the stuff to the car, but from there to KUMU, was impossible. On my way, I lost a shoe and dropped all my jewellery, but in the end we made it.
The place was crowded by the time we got there and our stall became pretty popular, but I can't say we sold a lot. I think Britt had the best revenue from all of us. Most of the stuff went back home with a great effort.
During the fair, Karolin Kuusik, a stylist, came up to me and asked my name. She didn't say what for. As it came out, I had been selected as the most stylish seller, which was crazy because I wasn't really dressed up that day. I was really surprised when they asked me to come up to the stage.
The overall experience of the fair was great. We had a blast and I think my wardrobe will thank me for getting rid of the old stuff.

Reedel käisime siis sõbrannadega COSMO glämmilaadal. Polnud seal varematel aastatel käinud, aga kuna asju, millest lahti tahaks saada oli nii palju tekkinud, mõtlesime et miks ka mitte. No kodus pakkisin igaks juhuks ikka rohkem asju kaasa, kingi, mantleid, kõiki muid asju mis palju kaaluvad. Kuidagimoodi saime need isegi autosse tassitud aga kohale jõudes lõi pähe, et me peame need parklast kuidagi treppidest alla KUMUsse sisse ka saama ju! Ei õnnestunud kuidagi. Poole tee peal kaotasin ühest kastist kinga, ehted kukkusid mööda KUMU terrassi laiali...draama. Lõpuks jõudsime kohale ikkagi.
Rahvast oli selleks ajaks kui me oma lauda sättima hakkasime juba päris palju. Asjade uudistajaid oli ka kõvasti, ostjaid mitte nii palju. Britil läks vist kõige paremini, teistel mitte nii hästi :D. Suurema osa viisime sama suure vaevaga nagu tulime, koju tagasi.
Kõige põnevam minu jaoks sellel üritusel oli inimeste jälgimine. Inimesi oli seinast seina, mis tegi asja eriti põnevaks. Ise shoppama ma eriti ei jõudnudki, aga leti taga seismine oligi tegelikult minu jaoks huvitavam, ma arvestasin sellega, et mul on neli kohvrit asju vaja koju tagasi viia ja lisa osta oleks lihtsalt wroooong.
Keset üritust tuli Karolin Kuusik mu nime küsima, mis oli väga imelik, sest ta ei öelnud miks. Hiljem tuli välja, et olin võitnud stiilseima müüja tiitli, mis tuli väga suure üllatusena. Mu nimi öeldi, aga veits valesti ja kuna ma absoluutselt ei arvanud, et see mina olen, siis ma lihtsalt ei läinudki lavale, seni kuni ma lõpuks taipasin :D
Ühesõnaga kokkuvõttes oli üritus väga lõbus ja kuna osadest asjadest siiski lahti sai, siis mu riidekapile väga kasulik ka. Kõik riided-ehted ja muu, mis koju tagasi tõin, lähevad lähimal ajal kirbuturule, anna siis teada millal täpsemalt.

More about Cosmopolitan's glam fair soon, but first, I will show you what I wore. The pictures are taken on the terrace of Estonian Art Museum KUMU, which is my new favourite spot in town. I can't believe I had never been there before, especially beacuse I visit the museum so often.

Cape - Romwe
Wedges - H&M
Blouse - Romwe
Skirt - from Paris
Belt - Vintage

Cosmo glämmilaadast lähemalt juba varsti, aga enne näitan teile, mida ma seal kandsin. Pildid on tehtud KUMU terrassil, mis on mu uus lemmik spot. Ma käin KUMUs nii tihti ja ma ei ole terrassile kunagi varem sattunud. Miks, on täielik müstika mu jaoks.

Cosmo Glämmilaat

2011-10-05T20:00:00.000+03:00

Here's a sneak peak of what I'll bring to Cosmopolitan's fair, that takes place this weekend.

Väike sneak peak sellest, mis minuga Cosmo Glämmilaadale kaasa tuleb. Ja väikse all ma tõesti mõtlen väikest. Mu tuba näeb hetkel lihtsalt kohutav välja, riided igal pool, mul pole kuskil magadagi. Ma ei kujuta ette kuidas ma nendega KUMUsse tripin. Teil on aga lihtsam, nii et tulge lihtsalt kohale.

Orange you glad it's fall again

2011-10-03T20:00:00.002+03:00

Had a walk in Kadrioru park and the Japanese gardens they had just opened. Everything was so beautiful and you could really feel the fall. The groundskeeper, with his Central Park NYC cap was especially lovely, whisteling at everyone who dared to stop for few seconds or sit down somewhere, he was really taking his assignement seriously. So we didn't dare to stay there for a long time, but it was really nice there.
The orange blouse I'm wearing is from Paris and I love it. I don't really like orange that much, but at fall it sort of feels right.

Jalutasime Kadriorus ja äsja avatud Jaapani aedades. Nii ilus ja sügisene on kõik. Turvamees oli seal eriti tore, Central Park NYC nokakaga, vilistas kõigi peale kes natukenegi kuskil kauemaks seisma jäid või toetada julgesid. Igaks juhuks kauaks ei jäänud sinna. Aga tegelikult soovitan täiega minna, kes veel pole käinud!
See oranž pluus on Pariisist ja värvi tõttu mu täielik lempar sellel sügisel. Üldiselt eriti oranži ei armasta, aga sügisel tundub kuidagi õige.

Fall 2011

2011-09-28T19:00:00.002+03:00

In autumn, every day feels like the last beautiful day without rain and wind. So I took advantage of the warm weather and went out without a coat for the last time. Every day, I'm starting to love autumn even more. I love dressing up for such weather, layering and the colours of the season.

Sweater - H&M
Boots - Brooklyn flea
Blouse - Zara
Bag - H&M
Pants - Zara
Cuff - H&M

Sügisel tundub iga päev nagu viimane ilus päev, nii et kasutasin juhust ja üritasin viimane päev ilma mantlita hakkama saada. Tegelikult on sügisel üldse väga põnev riietuda, mulle meeldivad kihid ja sügisesed värvid. Sügis hakkab mulle järjest rohkem meeldima.

SUMMER 2011

2011-09-25T19:40:00.003+03:00

Yesterday, autumn oficially begun and the weather's have been so nice I might even fall in love with fall. But summer is still my favourite season so here's a small recap of my summer :)

Eile algas ametlikult sügis ja õnneks on ilmad ka ikka päris sügisesed, mitte ei ole juba talv. Selliste ilmadega ma armastan sügist, see võiks vabalt olla isegi mu lemmikaastaaeg. Aga suve armastan ma rohkem, nii et siin on väike kokkuvõte minu suvest 2011 :)

The last day in Paris

2011-09-18T20:05:00.000+03:00

And here we are, the last post from Paris.
In the morning we drove to Versailles. We visited the castle, and of course we managed to get lost. When i finally found a possible way out and started to jump over a bridge, a random passer by laughed and said, "C'est impossible!". After some time of wandering around, we finally got to the Grand Trianon, Marie Antoinette's castle. They had a neat exhibition with interpetations of 18. century fashion by designers like Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. The dresses-costumes fit perfectly to the mansion.
In the evening, we decided to go on a boat ride on Seine. The city looked amazing from the river, but the tour guide was awful. She said the sentence "Attention, Notre-Dame est tombé 13 fois!" with no emotion what so ever, it was hilarious.

Ja olemegi jõudnud Pariisi viimase postituseni.
Hommikul sõitsime Versailles'sse. Külastasime lossi ja aedasid, loomulikult suutsime ka ära eksida. Kui ma siis lõpuks aedadelabürindist ühe väljapääsu leidsin ja ronima hakkasin, juhtus sinna keegi võõras, kes naeris mu üle ja ütles, et "C'est impossible!". Peale pikka ekslemist jõudsime siiski lõpuks Marie Antoinette'i valdustesse. Grand Trianonis oli parasjagu näitus 18. sajandi moest. Seal nägime disainerite nagu Vivienne Westwood ja Alexander McQueeni interpretsioone 18. sajandi moest. Kleidid-kostüümid sobisid lossi ideaalselt.
Õhtul otsustasime minna Seine'ile sõitma. Öine Pariis jõelt vaadates on veel ilusam, kui muidu. Giid oli küll mega kohutavalt igav ja suutis öelda lause, "Attention, Notre-Dame est tombé 13 fois!" sellise tuima hääle ja ilmega, et õudne.

The opening ceremony of Tallinn Fashion Week took place yesterday and tomorrow the frantic week begins. Yesterday I left my camera at home, but starting tomorrow, it will be glued to me and I will try to capture everything I can and bring it all to you. Since then, enjoy the pictures of last night, taken by Jelena Rudi.

Tallinna Moenädala avamisel käidud. Homsest hakkab möll täielikult pihta ja kui ma eile oma kaamera koju jätsin, siis edaspidi on kaamera minuga igal pool kaasas, nii et üritan kõike oma teele sattuvat teie jaoks jäädvustada. Seniks aga nautige Jelena Rudi pilte eilsest avaüritusest, mis toimus sellises põnevas kohas, nagu on seda Balti Jaama tunnel.

Sunset in Paris

2011-09-11T20:00:00.002+03:00

One evening, we decided to drive to Montparnasse, to view the sun set on top of the Tour Montparnasse.
This 210m building is considered to be the ugliest construcion in the world and two years after its completion, building skyscraper in the city center of Paris, were banned. But the view from the top in breathtaking, of course. Especially during the sunset.

Ühel õhtul Pariisis otsustasime sõita Montparnasse'i, et Tour Montparnasse'i tipus päikseloojangut vaadata. Seda 210 meetrist pilvelõhkujat peetakse üheks maailma koledaimaks ehitiseks ning kaks aastat peale selle ehitamist, keelati Pariisi kesklinna pilvelõhkujate ehitamine täielikult. Aga vaade torni tipust on loomulikult imeilus, eriti päikseloojangul.

Disneyland Paris

2011-09-04T20:00:00.005+03:00

It's always been my dream to visit Disneyland and since my friend was working there for the summer, it was a great chance to finally go there. We met all the familiar characters and we always had a Disney soundtrack playing for us. We visited the castles and gardens and I even got to meet Goofy in person! A childhood dream came true.

Shades - MNG
Blouse - Romwe

Minu megasuureks unistuseks on alati olnud Disneylandis ära käia. Kuna mu klassiõde töötas seal see aasta terve suvi, siis oli see ideaalne võimalus, et lõpuks minna. Esimese õhtu veetsime Disney töötajatega öises Disneys. Saime teada kõik dirty little secretid, nt et Mickey on tegelikult tüdruk! Ühesõnaga, juba hommikul suudusimegi imelisse Disneysse. Seal oli niiiii ilus, nagu mingi paralleeluniversum. Nägime Disney tegelaste paraadi, kus kohtusime kõigi tuttavate tegelastega ja külastasime losse ja aedu. Nägime kõiki printsesse ja sain isegi Gupit katsuda! Täielik lapsepõlveunistus sai teoks :D

There's always room for one more macaron

2011-09-02T21:02:00.000+03:00

These pictures need no introduction, but I'll just add that on the third day, besides eating macarons and sorbet, we visited Saint Louis island, which is famous for its amazing cafes and architecture. You won't see any of that here, because all we do is eat, but sill... Enjoy!

Kuigi need pildid ilmselt sissejuhatust ei vaja, siis lisan, et kolmas päev kuulus täielikult Saint Louis'i saarele, kus lisaks imelistele makroonidele ja sorbetile nautisime ka imelist arhitektuuri ja tõelist Pariisi melu.

Paris - Deuxième jour

2011-08-31T20:00:00.005+03:00

The second day. In the morning we went to the Cité island, enjoyed Paris in the morning, shopped, had a cafe round and started to look for sights. Notre Dame was for real the first place with tooo many tourists, because Paris in August is really empty and not only of Parisians, but also tourists so we had a bit of a tourist shock. The weather was also too hot so we had to sit down after every few meters. To make the stops more fun, we bought tons of macarons. We stepped into this little confiserie and they had all kinds of chocolates and, of course, macarons of any kind. We get to taste them so even before leaving the shop we were full. But we got one of each taste to go.
After that, we went to Montmartre. Annely, our friend, was also in Paris and since she knows the city very well, she showed us around in the area. She took us to Moulin Rogue, Sacre Coeur and the Dali museum, after which we sat down on a hill right next to Sacre Coeur and had a picknic with an amazing view over Paris.

Järgmine päev. Hommikul sõitsime Cité saarele, nautisime hommikust Pariisi, shoppasime, tegime kohvikutuuri ja asusime vaatamisväärsusi otsima. Notre Dame oli reaalselt esimene koht kus liiiga palju turiste oli, sest augustis on Pariis tegelikult üsna inimtühi, nii pariislastest kuid ka turistidest. Turistishoki ja jubepalava ilma tõttu pidime pikki pause tänavatel tegema ja otsustasime, et parim viis seda teha on makroonide kõrval. Käisime siis ühest poekesest läbi ja ostsime proovimiseks kõiki maitseid. Müüja oli nii sõbralik ja tahtis et ma kõiki enne prooviksin enne kui ostan, nii et juba poest väljudes oli süda üsna paha.
Edasi suundusime Montmartresse. Annely, kes ka just parasjagu Pariisis oli, viis meid Moulin Rouge'i juurde ja Sacre Coeur'i ja peale Dali muuseumis käimist suundusime imelise vaatega Sacre Coeuri künkale väiksele lõunale.

Le premier jour

2011-08-28T20:10:00.000+03:00

We're back from Paris now. The trip was incredible, awesome weather and people, good friends and food, beautiful streets and architecture. When we stepped out of the metro station for the first time and saw the Eiffel tower, we were so amazed and knew this trip was going to be amazing. I wish I could go back! Tomorrow I'm going to see the movie "Midnight in Paris" so I'll probably see some familiar places and everything will come back. Until then, you can enjoy pictures of our first amazing day in Paris.

Oleme nüüd Pariisist tagasi. Reis oli kohutavalt tore, ilusad ilmad ja inimesed, head sõbrannad ja toidud, imelised tänavad ja arhitektuur. Kui me esimest korda metroost välja astusime ja Eiffeli torni nägime olime lihtsalt nii vaimustuses ja teadsime, et see reis tuleb parim. Tahaks tagasi! Homme lähen vaatama filmi "Südaöö Pariisis" kus ilmselt näen palju tuttavaid kohti ja kõik tuleb jälle meelde. Seinkaua nautige teie aga pilte meie esimesest päevast Pariisis.

Paris, nous voilà!

2011-08-19T20:00:00.000+03:00

I'm gonna have a little break from blogging now, beacuse I'm heading off to Paris with my friends! I've been waiting for this trip for so long, so I'm crazy excited. I'm going to take more pictures than ever, so be prepared... for real. :D
Until then, you can finally see the pictures of the Helsinki trip with Britt. Better late than never, right? Enjoy! :)

Teen nüüd blogimisest väikese pausi ja põrutan sõbrannadega nädalaks Pariisi! Ma olen nii kaua seda oodanud ja olen väga excited. Otsisin Google mapsilt meie kodu ka üles ja street view'ilt paistab see väga imeline! Kavatsen teha rohkem pilte kui kunagi varem, nii et be prepared :D Seniks aga, postitan lõpuks pildid Helsingi reisilt Britiga. Kohutavalt hilja, nagu ikka, aga parem hilja kui mitte kunagi... eksju? :D

A countryside vacation

2011-08-17T16:30:00.003+03:00

Last night I arrived home from the countryside. I visited lake Peipsi and the wonderful surroundings and I wanted to share some of the amazing sights with you.

I'm a huge fan of graveyards, they're so quiet and calm and mystical. My favourite is one graveyard in Austria, but this one in Kasepää is a close second. It's mainly russian graves overflowed with statues, fake flowers and decorations and it's on top of the hill right next to a lake which makes it even more beautiful.

On both sides of the street there were houses like you won't see anywhere else. The gardens were filled with small statues, fountains, windmills, etc. I just wanted to peek into the interiors!

We stayed at my boyfriend's summer cottage. I even managed to not be scared of spiders there.

We visited abandoned cafes and department stores as well as very much working marketplaces.

And watched sunsets by the lake. The water was very cold, but we had a swim anyways.
Can't wait for next year!

Leib

2011-08-09T19:56:00.003+03:00

You probably shouldn't read this post if you're hungry, beacuse I gotta tell you, my stomach starts growling even when I'm only writing this. So basically, I went to this restaurant called Leib with Oskar one evening. It's situated in a garden in the old town, so the place was amazing. The mood there was very cozy and in the evening the restaurant was packed with people sipping wine and enjoying good food. The dim garden was filled with torches and candles, it was magical.
The food, of course, was incredible. I loved the chicken and salmon, but my very favourite was the rabbit, ah-mazing!

Seda postitust ei ole soovitav vaadata tühja kõhu korral, sest ausalt öeldes juba sellest kirjutades hakkab mu kõht korisema. Ühesõnaga, käisime Oskariga restoranis Leib, vanalinnas Aia tänaval ja võin julgelt seda viimase aja parimaks toiduelamuseks nimetada.
Meeleolu oli hästi mõnus, õhtul oli restoran rahvast täis ja hämarat aeda valgustasid laternad ja küünlad. Toidud olid ka muidugi suurepärased, lõhe ja kana olid mõlemad super head ja eriti jäi mulle meelde eelroaks tellitud jänes, i-me-li-ne!

Defining fashion

2011-08-06T21:36:00.001+03:00

I have put together a list of 5 moments in history, that have defined fashion for me. They are not in particular order, they all represent something, that for me have changed the way I see fashion today.

Theatricality and art
Fashion has often turned to art for inspiration, but there are designers who have and will use fashion as a medium of art. A great example was Alexander McQueen, who used human body as a canvas and fashion as a way to imitate life. He was a designer ahead of its time, bringing theatricality to runway to present his designs, his chefs-d'oeuvre. Alexander McQueen's shows never lacked excitement and were some of the most memorable moments in fashion history. His ideas and innovativeness are a great loss for the fashion world.

Fashion Week
During World War II, workers in the fashion industry were unable to travel to Paris. To only way out was to bring Fashion Week to the workers, so in 1943, the first New York Fashion Week was held. For centuries designers in America were thought to be reliant on the French for inspiration, but with that event, everything changed. The fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert organized an event she called ‘Press Week’ to showcase American designers for fashion journalists, who had previously ignored their works. The Press Week was a success, and, as a result, magazines like Vogue (which were normally filled with French designs) began to feature more and more American innovations. Until 1994, shows were held in different locations, such as hotels, or lofts. Eventually, after a structural accident at a Michael Kors show, the event moved to Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library, where it remained until 2010, when the shows relocated to Lincoln Center.

Street Style and fashion blogs
Bill Cunningham has been archiving the fashion scenes of Manhattan since the late 70s, but it was Scott Schuman with The Sartorialist, who first started capturing the unknown fashionistas in the streets instead of celebrities, making it clear, that everyone with a sense of style, should be noticed and it's not the rich and famous, who rule the fashion world.
This revolution happened a decade ago and it marked the era of street style photography and personal fashion blogs. It seems like everyone these days owns a blog and girls and guys with unique sense of fashion have become the celebrities of the street style age. Bloggers like Jane Aldridge of Sea and Shoes, Chiara from The Blonde Salad and Bryanboy are only a few of the best known bloggers who dictate fashion alongside with magazine editors and couture houses.

Ecological fashion
We all need clothes, but unfortunately the clothes we wear, are in many cases made at a very high human and environmental cost. Most of the world's clothing is manufactured in poor countries, where workers, which are mainly children, face unbearable conditions, earn less than they need to live and are often physically and verbally abused.
Ecological fashion may seem like just another trend in fashion, but even the high street brands are incorporating environmental thinking in their producing, so it must mean that the pressure to be eco-friendly is strong.

Fashion Magazines
The history of fashion magazines go hundreds of years back. The first magazine was created by a man for men. The first "female" magazine appeared 317 years ago in 1693, in London. Soon enough fashion magazines fever spread across Europe, and 16 years later, the first specialized magazine for women, "Ladies' Mercury" appeared in London. Reading fashion magazines became a sign of a good taste, and since the beginning of the 18th century they settled in the boudoirs of actresses, singers and public figures. In the past 300 years, fashion magazines have changed a great deal from outside. Yet, the basic topics remain the same - how to become beautiful, loved and happy.

Every vote is a step closer to my dream. 'Like!'

It's my birthday!

2011-08-04T12:40:00.005+03:00

Today I'm celebrating my 18th birthday!

Täna tähistan ma oma 18. sünnipäeva!
