APC posted this on their Facebook page.   Well, don’t know the truth about that, but they got me interested!   I like this look for autumn and winter a lot: the gentlemen’s jacket combined to no pants – so simple and easy, which I’m all for and therefore is obviously the right way to go.  […]

Reasons to like fall, number 1:       Trying to catch the light on a Sunday afternoon in september.  

   Healthy thinking. (The Big C/Pinterest)   Hello, I mean, hola. Recently I have a) started spanish classes b) been on a week-long get-to-know course with handkerchiefs and flu medicine c) found an excellent tv series, The Big C. People are sick there too.   So this isn’t a bad flu at all: I can sit and watch tv […]

I talked to someone who had moved to Finland a couple of years ago. He knew where Kuopio was (!) when I told him I’m from there. ”People are quite nice there, right?” ”Mmh, well yes…” ”Are you nice?” I told him he needed to decide that after the conversation.   But I started pondering. Is […]

How can you make depressing grey fields and cold weather look attractive?  Check out this incredibly beautiful video of Samuji’s new collection. Everything about it is perfect. It is.          I bet no one would blame her for not wearing a helmet.

I’ve been going back looking through the last photos from the summer – that strange time long ago when you were able to go outside without a wool sweater and scarf.   Eira, Helsinki […]

I toured around Helsinki on the restaurant day in august with a friend. One of our first stops was at Kruununhaka, in someone’s home in an old building. And, let me tell you, it was a nice house. I couldn’t help but feel like I was snooping around, sitting at the flower-decorated table. Still – so […]

Since everyone is talking about it, let’s say it – summer is officially over.     My visit to Helsinki ended. It had been like an end-of-summer holiday: after the days working at the film festival I spent joyful time running in diverse cultural events. I came back and it was cold. I find myself […]

There’s a confession to be made. It’s been a few weeks after seeing The Black Keys at Flow, but someone still hits the play button on a daily basis. Especially when discovering the singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach’s solo album.   Now that’s a man, you’d say, having heard him. Straightforward, honest. I bet Dan knows how […]
