Crayfish party

One of the summer traditions in Finland is throwing a crayfish party. I've gone to quite a few of those but this was the first one this summer and probably the last one also. A beautiful summer evening, good food and great company, how much more can you ask for.

Yksi Suomen kesän parhaita perinteitä on mielestäni rapujuhlat. Olen niitä jonkun verran kiertänyt, mutta nämä olivat kesän ensimmäiset ja todennäköisesti viimeiset. Kaunis kesäilta, hyvää ruokaa ja hauskaa seuraa, mitä enempää voi toivoa. 

VMAs 2013 **Best Dressed**

I love the VMAs fashion more than maybe every single other awards show because I like *Costume* I like *Pageantry* I like *Drama*, and these crazy-ass young people really know how to BRANG IT. 

Here is the CREME DE LA CREME... Enjoy, my Loves.

1. Miriam & Olivia Nervo 

 I have never heard of these beauties... Apparently they are DJs & TWINS!!! How 'Dorbs!? I love the edgy glamour of these gowns, and the styling is perfection.

2. Rita Ora in Alexandre Vauthier Couture

OMG! Rita looks like a QUEEN! How amazing is this marabou train? I am a sucker for marabou. it's just gorgeous... Rita even looks better in this gown than Lindsay Wixson did on the runway! WERQ!
(see below)

3. Adam Lambert in Lanvin

 It's no secret that I love Adam Lambert. And he just LOOKS LIKE a rockstar always, bless his heart. The fit is fantastic, he is so damn handsome, I just can't stand it. Perfection.

4. Ciara in Givenchy

Flawless "I'm so fashion, I hate fashion" face, my love.
It's kind of like bones... But kind of like lace... with feathers... No need for underpants...
I like how the pale color pops against her skin.

5. Daft Punk in C3-PO & Boba Fett Robot Chic

 Beyond the Masks and Gloves, the suit cut is magnificent, especially the pant leg. I just cannot ever see a man in a loose fit suit pant leg again. I will light it on fire.
I love "Get Lucky", that song is such a rip-off of so many songs, but I love it anyways. I don't care.

6. Selena Gomez in Versace

The fit on this is exquisite. There must have been a thousand fittings and it was so worth it. The seam perfectly hits the floor to the exact specifications of that heel height.
The *costume lingerie* bodice is so pretty and ornate, it contrasts nicely with the simple navy column of the dress. Bravo.

Maybe Miley should give Selena's stylist a call, STAT. Lol.

VMA's 2013

Happy Monday!

The annual MTV's Video Music Awards was held over the weekend. Did you watch? Aside from the usual over the top performances and antics, lets take a look at the fashion choices many our favorite celebrities decided to rock.

                                                 
Selena Gomez is really going up. I love her hair, the red lips and her sexy Madonna-ish  lace bra look. I think its interesting. I'll be watching you Ms. Gomez!

                                               

For a second I thought she was Charlize Theron or a super model but it Taylor Swift. The songstress looked amazing in the body hugging ensemble. Love it!!

                                                   

When I grow up I want to be Paula Patton! I love this woman. I'm one of those people where I image that I'm friends with certain celebrities in my head and in my head Paula Patton is a super cool chic to hang out with. She's in shape and has a beautifully toned body. Oh how I wish y'all.  Did he guys get  a glimpse of her in Robin Thicke's Love After War video? Mama just had a baby and was looking hella good. I love this sparkling number she wore to the VMA's. You better werk!

                                                

Blued eyed soul singer Robin Thicke perform with Miley Cyrus on stage, In this pic we see the two bumping and grinding while Miley is so preoccupied with twerking. LMAO! Its is me or was Robin Thicke channeling Bettlejuice in this outfit? lol.

                                          

Katy Perry showed up in her famous sex kitten leopard print ensembles. I guess her alter ego loves the sex kitten look.

Of course I'm not scratching the tip of the ice burge when it comes to VMA fashion. What do you think? What your favorites fashion moments? Have a wonderful day!!

"beauty is a lifestyle"

Good Morning!

It's Monday again, woop-di do



It seems like I write once a week. Well I do. Every time I really want to write.. it's really late and I need to be sleeping (which most of time I can't sleep anyways) or I'm at work and get busy. (REAL) Life has been real hectic if you have been keeping up with me. thanks =) If not you can catch up by reading my latest post HERE.



Even though I have been posting and not linking-up because they were taking a break for the summer, Jessica and Jenn are returning today! 



 So these are the goals I left off two weeks ago ;



1. ZUMBA 2X 

2. NEW CLASS 
 

3. DO A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS
 

4. PARTY FOR MY B-DAY 

5. ENJOY MY THREE DAY WEEKEND





So with my miscarriage & trips to the e.r.  I wasn't able to go to Zumba or a new class.. Hopefully I will be able to get back into my work out routine within the next two weeks. I enjoyed my birthday before all the crazy stuff happened you can also read about that night in my latest post also.



So my goals for this week will be for the most part the same ;



1. NEW CLASS/ WALKING - something low impact to get me back into the flow maybe yoga will help

5. ENJOY MY WEEKEND IN KENTUCKY - my mom has planned a last minute mini trip to Kentucky/ Tennessee to visit family. 

MANI MONDAY 

 

It's a Girl!

A bit over a week ago my cousin had a baby, a beautiful baby girl. We went to visit them at the hospital a few days later but this weekend we made a proper visit to their house. She looked so cute and calm and didn't seem to mind at all being passed from one lap to another, just sleeping and enjoying. My cousin loves to decorate and I was really admiring her home too.

Reilu viikko sitten serkkuni sai lapsen, ihanan tyttövauvan. Kävimme sairaalassa heitä katsomassa muutama päivä synnytyksen jälkeen, mutta tänä viikonloppuna kävimme kunnolla kylässä heidän kotonaan. Tyttö näytti niin söpöltä ja rauhalliselta eikä häntä tuntunut haittaavan sylistä toiseen siirtyminen. Hän vain nukkui ja nautti olostaan. Serkkuni rakastaa sisustamista ja ihailimme myös samalla hänen kotiaan.

Midnight sauna

A Finnish summer  the night, nature and a sauna. What a perfect combination. Being from Finland naturally I love all those quiet moments in the sauna on a summer night with no one disturbing. I have to introduce you to our new sauna at our lake house, I just love it.

Suomen kesäyö, luonto ja sauna. Niistä on ihanat illat tehty. Suomalaisena tietysti rakastan niitä hiljaisia hetkiä saunassa kesäöinä kun kukaan ei häiritse. Minun on pakko hieman esitellä teille meidän mökin uutta saunaa, se on vaan niin ihana paikka.
