Skulls&pearls

My obsession with skulls aint going nowhere. I actually had 2 skull rings on too, but they are nowhere to be seen in these pictures. And I guess flipping my hair is becoming "my thing" when taking blog pictures. As for these boots... they are the best and most comfortable transition to wearing heels again after this long winter in flat boots.

Some people feel the rain

Loved the melancholic rainy weather on Friday. Wish it was a little warmer though. But the more it rains the faster it gets green. And I rarely wear my fav umbrella so I was happy to take it for a spin. I remember this time last year I was already strolling around in dresses and there was no need for tights or anything like that.

Shopping from London

So here are the results of my shopping from London. My current obsession is yellow, anything yellow! Some items you`ll see in outfit posts very soon so I wont put them up here at the moment. Also, Kadri asked me a few questions about my bags and what I carry around daily, here are my answers.

London

I`m back from my trip to London. A perfect getaway to spring! I remember the first time I visited London (a thousand years ago, I was very young), I promised myself one day I`ll live there but then I travelled some more and fell in love with Italy and New York and forgot about London. It was my 5th time there this time and I started to fall in love with London all over again. So maybe one day.. I`ll call London my home, only  time can tell. The weather was perfect the whole time, on the night of our arrival it was +18 degrees! Lot`s of good food, a little shopping, rediscovering my love for London and an amazing Il Divo & Katherine Jenkins concert that brought tears to my eyes. 

I missed sitting in outdoor cafes, sipping a little wine, enjoying the weather and just watching people passing by.

A perfect ending to the trip, dinner at a beautiful Lebanese & Moroccan restaurant. 

My thoughts for today

Oh Bob... wise man you are!

"What a terrible mistake to let go of something wonderful for something real."

Tattooed my legs

Finally it`s time to wear skirts and dresses without shivering! And quirky tights. These tattooed ones I have are quite demanding. I had a vision with what I wanted to wear them but they just did not match. But with this neutral skirt.. it turned out quite ok.

Amazing places I have seen

Sometimes I forget the beauty my eyes have seen. And then I go through pictures and can´t help but be amazed that I have seen these places with my own eyes and have taken these pictures myself. Some of you have asked for travel posts so I´ll keep them coming your way for a while now. And there will be a lot of beautiful pictures, a lot! I`ll start with the most exotic two locations... Burma (Myanmar) and Madagascar. Both amazing and wonderfully beautiful places! The first pics are from Burma and the other set from Madagascar.

A perfect secluded beach just a few steps from our hotel room.

The cutest hotel on a lake. Kind of what they have in Maldives and Bora Bora but a little more rustic.

A very young and different me :) with a friend. These little guys were quite hostile. I remember I had a small bag with fruits in my hand and suddenly I was attacked and the bag was gone. I had white pants on and there was a perfect little dirty paw print on my backside afterwards.

And a few pictures from Madagascar.

The cutest animals ever. They were of course domesticated and were a lot more friendly that they are in the wild.

Cute curious faces!

Perfect hotel in the jungle. And at night the jungle came to life and the voices you heard... now that was amazing!

I remember taking this picture so well. My mum was having a massage and I was sitting on our room balcony, sipping beer and just enjoying life at it´s best!

Black&Blue

Love the simplicity of this dress! The colour, the cut, the way it falls perfectly! Can't wait to wear it with heels and bare legs. Hopefully I can already this week!

Black Taverna

Soo... I`ve wanted to go to Black Taverna for a while, it`s not your everyday place though.  I loveloved the interior. Just a little bit over the top, exactly how I like it! The service was nice and in the summer when the terrace is opened it is a nice place for coctails. The food... well, it was quite expensive and not that special.

Shrimp wok with carrot-ginger cream, spinach-paksoi salad, almonds and  vanilla-rum aioli (18,20 euros). It is listed as main course but to me it seemed more like an appetizer. I had room for dessert after that and I usually never do. It was good but like I said, nothing special. And the shrimps were cold, everything about seemed to me like an appetizer.

Creamy mushroom soup with vegetable julienne (6.50 euros). This soup was delicious though! 

Sea-buckthorn-mascarpone cheese cake with nuts, dried blueberries and maple syrup (7,40 euros). And my dessert... It was perfect with the nuts, without them it would have been just a good cheese cake.

It was that time of the year to visit the hairdresser, so I went a little lighter. A change is always good, even if it is a little one. I was afraid she would urge me to chop half of it off but to my surprise, that hair is still in quite good condition. Jeeei!
