WHISPERS OF FALL

 

My favourite season, autumn, is starting to be gone. Now all that is left are leafless trees, fading daylight and the creeping excitement of permanent first snow. To me, November is the first Christmas month, and the time when it's allowed to get excited about the highlight of the year. It always brings me joy to see seasonal lights in people's homes, lighting up the otherwise dark outdoors. I could drive around the city just to spot and admire those fairy lights, Christmas stars and other beautiful light instalments in strangers' homes. Romanticising November, and life in general, has definitely become my lifestyle, and I highly recommend you try the same. It's all about the little things in life. 

Wishing you all some light in the darkest month of the year!✨

SEPTEMBER DIARY

September started with dinner at Marsi (the butter chicken there is simply amazing!) and Irish coffee as a dessert at Kerubi. 

Nature started slowly to turn golden. I love rowanberries, they are so pretty!

Pin-watched Wednesday's new season. This series is so good, but waiting years for a couple of episodes is just ridiculous. We used to get over twenty episodes per year, so what happened with the filming industry...

Last summery days and barbecuing at my mom's.  

I don't think there is a better way to spend your evening than being shower fresh, having all day's chores done, having your evening tea and getting lost in your book <3

Ice cream break with my parents after running errands. I'm not religious, but I think some churches are so beautiful, especially that one looks like a Disney castle!

Every time I try to add colours to my decor, I get bored with it and switch back to all beige decor xD

Working out at home <3 I've been considering buying a gym membership, but they are so expensive and I hate when the gyms are full of people lol. Can I just have a private gym at my apartment building, please? 

Rainy autumn running errands day / I finished my book, so I had to go buy the whole damn series at once kind of day xD 

I love cooking and baking seasonal food! I got 3 litres of chantarelles at the market for free, so I made risotto with them, and as a dessert, I made banana-pecan bread.  After dinner, it was time to start a new book, of course, with a glass of wine.

I placed a little H&M order and got some nice pieces for autumn. I've been using all of those clothes nonstop since I got them, especially the coat. I'm definitely going to get the most out of the price per wear of that coat, and I'd better since it cost 180€... :D

I'm so obsessed with having a French manicure. It looks so effortlessly chic! 

Knitting that beanie hasn't got any further since last year... Maybe this will be the winter when I finish it?

Sauna and swimming in Polar Bears <3

Beautiful autumn day at Utransaari, enjoying wandering in nature and capturing its beauty with a camera.
