AUTUMN MEMORIES

 

Last year around this time we had an autumnal weekend trip to Tampere. Two nights in a different city to celebrate an early Halloween was so much fun! Here are a couple recommendations to visit in Tampere:

Pyynikki - An area with nice views and hiking opportunities. Also, rumour says you can have the best sugar doughnuts in Pyynikki tower/cafe. 

Pyynikinrinne - Beautiful area with gorgeous houses (or more like villas). 

Pispala - Such a gorgeous area in Tampere full of colourful wooden houses and beautiful view to a lake. 

Café Pispala - The best pancaked I've ever had! The meal is so worth the price and has a lot to eat! The cafe is small so make sure you make a reservation before going!

Särkänniemi (Karmiva Karnevaali) - The best way to get a Halloween mood! Although, most of the rides were no longer in use, making ticket prices ridiculously high. It is still worth the visit tho!

Tallipiha - My new favourite place in Tampere! Tallipiha Suklaapuoti (chocolate shop) is a must-visit and also their cafe is super cute with an antique/vintage interior.

SEPTEMBER LIFE

Photographing session in a gorgeous sunflower field!  

 I also gathered a bouquet of sunflowers to bring home <3 / The granny square bag is finally finished! I can't wait to wear it next summer!

 Cute outfit and morning tea. / I got flowers and chocolate in honour of our anniversary <3

Anniversary outfit and dinner at Soossi. Those pizzas were incredible! 

The last BBQ for this summer.  

Luggage ready to go for a holiday to Spain! Kisse sadly wasn't allowed to come with :D / Going to the train late in the evening instead of in the morning was weird. Usually travelling to a different country takes one day but due to an early flight (and lack of trains at night), it took two days...

After ten days in Spain, I arrived to Helsinki! / And bought a snack for the train ride home. 

Autumnal breakfast. Oatmeal with fried cinnamon-honey apples. / Emily in Paris and matcha. I finally bought supplies to make matcha and now I'm obsessed!

It was so weird to change straight to warm coats after living in bikinis and summer dresses in Spain xD /  Picking autumn flowers for my balcony. 

The flowers I picked! / Beautiful ruska <3 

Getting beautiful again at Piece of Beauty (my go-to place for getting eyebrows etc!) / Burgundy = The colour of the season. I'm so obsessed! 

I wanted to treat myself and ordered new things for autumn but I kept only the Ugg Tasman shoes. The burgundy coat was cute but I would only wear it in autumn so not worth the money. 

FALL THOUGHTS

 

Hello October! Last month went by so fast mainly enjoying the sun and sangria in Spain. Those ten days were the best way to end this year's summer and now I'm more than ready for some colder crisp moody weather... and Christmas (too soon? xD). I'm embarrassed to admit that I have already started my Christmas gift shopping and can't wait to wear my new gorgeous red wool coat, haha. But I will dedicate this month to enjoying the colourful nature, burning candles while watching horror movies under a blanket, rainy cafe dates with friends, drinking hot cocoa and eating cinnamon buns, and also dressing up and celebrating Halloween. Can't wait!🩷
