The weekend at Kau Manor

A perfect guick weekend getaway! Kau Manor has become one of my fav places recently. The unconventional interior that you would not expect from a manor makes it even more adorable. The lovely staff who make you feel just like at home! The animals, there are 2 dogs running around and Seven, the parrot. If you have a chance... be sure to visit this lovely place!

A very delicious dinner. They don`t have a fixed menu so it is different every day. The restaurant is open from wednesday to sunday. And it got to the Best 50 Restaurants chart!

With Seven.

The most perfect blissful breakfast.

Backstage shots

Something good is on its way! I did a shoot for the Baltic Guide cover yesterday and these are the backstage shots which I already love. Can`t wait to share the real photos with you!

A perfect birthday present! I`ve been wanting this for such a long time and finally... The perfect vest came my way with the perfect timing! Another thing I`m lusting after are leather pants. Can`t find a great pair anywhere. But I guess that`s how the story goes, when you want something then you`ll never find it.

Alter Ego

As some of you know (mainly those who follow me on instagram) I had my birthday last week . And what a better way to spend it than in a good restaurant with the best company! This time Alter Ego. Although I was very keen on going to Kadriorg Restaurant which has become my favourite but you gotta try new places right? Alter Ego was a good selection. The service was very nice and friendly. The menus selection is very wide and I`d say anyone can find something they would like which also made it difficult for us to choose in the beginning. The atmosphere is nice and the location is perfectly in the city center. All in all a good experience.

Starters: King prawns saute in garlic, chili and extra virgin olive oil  (8,90 eur). Tempura calamari with lemon and smoked paprika (6,50 eur). The king prawns were delicious, it`s only a shame that there were so few of them. The garlic sauce went also perfectly with the delicious tempura calamaris.

Pan fried whole calamaris with garlic and parsley sauce (9 eur). Well... I like my calamaris grilled more. But the person who ordered this starter enjoyed it.

Seafood paella (minimum for 2 persons, 16 eur per person). This was ordered for two persons but it would have even fed more because the portion was quite big. The flavours were nice but I would have loved it with more seafood (some kind of fish added would have made the dish even better).

Grilled mahi-mahi on horseradish cream, jumbo white asparagus and piquillo stuffed with shrimp brandada (16 eur). Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this.

Grilled Atlantic grouper fillet, seaweed parmentier, caramelised onions and king prawn bisque (18 eur). The fish was tender and delicious and cooked perfectly. Although I did`nt like the combination with seaweed parmentier which is weird because I recently discovered my love for seaweed. But it just didn`t work for me in this dish. Other than that it was delicious.

Profiteroles (5,50 eur). Home-made frozen yogurt with fresh forest berries and reduction of Modena balsamic vinegar (6 eur). Poached pear in Rioja white wine and Bleu d`Auvergne cheese icecream (6 eur). Well... sometimes the pictures say more than words ever could! Although I must say the poached pear was a little underdone.

At this moment

What I dream about at this moment... Other than more time for blogging and a working computer. Technology and I rarely get along well. And I wish that my photographer and my dear Maria would have more time for me and my blog :)

Mornings like this.

Can You believe it? I`m actually waiting for snow. Yes, I think I`ve finally lost it! But I think it has something to do with my ever-growing love for Christmas. Although I must say that I love this beautiful autumn around us aswell. The appreciation for all seasons is growing too!

And then I dream of travelling... somewhere! Anywhere! I miss travelling so much I can`t even put it into words. It`s been way too long!

Would`nt mind waking up to a breakfast view like this!

Tallinn Dolls Reflections

Well, all the bloggers have done their post about this event and I am hopelessly late but here it goes anyway. I wanted to show you my favourite pieces but then I realized there is no point. Anything blue and all the maxi dresses stole my heart. So that kind of sums it up!

With the right colours the setting was amazing! The stage was built in the pool.

Elie Saab did it again!

Definitely still one of my favourites! The cuts, the fabrics... just everything is pure perfection! I would wear everything from that collection but I`ll share with you some of my most favourite ones. And I`d say that the first set is the one I love the most!

Hello October

A few bits and pieces of my September through my instagram. 

Still not sure about the cold weather & chilly mornings :) Takes some time to get used to it again.
