My Iris

I`ve been craving after this Iris Janvier dress for ages so when they were selling their designs basically right in front of me at the Buduaar market I just could`nt resist! At the end of the second day it came home with me. And yes, I froze my butt off yesterday when taking these shots and nearly had a heart attack too! 

And I was freezing even with the coat on.
Dress: Iris Janvier

Earth, wind & fire!

Uhhh I can feel how I`m becoming older and older with every minute. Or that`s how life feels at the moment. Gotta change that fast! I`m just feeling generally exhausted every night. Tired but happy I must say! Hope I get used to this new life arrangement that I have (I just started at a new job). And then hopefully I get my energy back for blogging as well!

Sweater: Vila
Dress: Mango

I`m hooked on this song at the moment. The most positive vibe ever!

When the days were warm

I still have some outfit posts from the warmer days that I have not shared with you yet. Oh I will miss wearing little dresses, shoes, bare legs... But I do love autumn! All the colours around us, the smell of autumn air... Sitting inside, enjoying a great book & a cup of hot chocolate, my birthday that is less than a month away and waiting for Christmas...undoubtedly my favourite time of the year!

And yes, on lazy days, this is my fav hairdo!

H&M and my weekend

I also had a chance to go to the H&M pre-launch last week and what can I say... it was crowded, can`t imagine what it might have been like on Saturday. Other than that...  it`s great to have us on the H&M map! On another note... my flu is getting worse and worse by every hour it seems. Take care of yourselves so this destiny will not strike you!

At the H&M pre-launch with my lovely lady.

What came home with me.. a simple classical bag, perfect for everyday use & work. The other bag was a gift from H&M. 

At the Buduaar market, where I spent my Friday and Saturday. I brought home two fabulous pieces, one by Iris Janvier and the other... oh well, you know the story between me and Liina Stein. Hope I can show these dresses very soon!

Miss Julie at Kau Manor

I had a chance to visit the lovely Kau Manor on Sunday to see the play Miss Julie. Unfortunately it was the last play this season but if you have a chance next year be sure to see it, it was splendid! Although since it was outside I managed to get a cold of course, so now I am battling here with a flu. Not nice! And the Kau Manor itself... absolutely gorgeous! It is not your typical manor, it has that special vibe about it, not to mention the interior! Just marvellous! And the aura of that place... I was just amazed! As soon as I can, I will post some more pictures of the interior as well.

A quick snack and wine before the play in this beautiful scenery.

Better red than dead

My current obsession... the colour red! Anything red captures my eyes in the stores at the moment. And this dress... a dream! Perfect for everyday wear but you can also spice it up with accessories and make it more festive.

Till&Kummel

A new discovery of mine. The food was absolutely delicious, the interior cozy and the service nice. Definitely worth a visit & I`ll be going back soon! Be sure to check out Till & Kummel.

The lovely terrace.

Creamy chanterelle soup (5 euros). Very delicious and very filling.

Bits & peaces of the interior.

Summery pan-fried veggies with cold cucumber-yoghurt sauce (7 euros). Definitely going back to get more of this. Chanterelles, fresh potatoes, string beans, cheese... perfection!

Ricotta pancakes with raspberry jam (4 euros). Just yum!

Hello there! I think it was the owner`s dog. Supercute!

Kayaking for the first time.

Happy girl back from kayaking. Absolutely loved it!

Perfect dinner setting. And I must say our cook was very skillful. Everything was very deicious!

Back to summer

These shots take me right back to summer. And I just had to take advantage of the beautiful location! These shots were taken a few weeks ago at my friends summer house in Finland.

Hello September

Oh how time flies! And another month of changes is behind... Summer you have been amazing but also too much to handle! 

Some glimpses of my August through my instagram (you can follow me @ marilinkaareste).

The last days enjoying the countryside summer. This summer brought another amazing place to my life, Lokuta, where my heart feels at peace. 

Doing what I do best... on the stage. Some quality time in Finland and a lovely lunch with the cutest little guy!
