Confession time. I love going to the flea market to spot quirky old handbags, especially tiny purses. It gives me a thrill when ever I find a pretty little purse hiding amongst all that clutter. I feel like Indiana Jones searching for the hidden treasure. Once upon a time, I also had a bad habit […]

I sometimes…often…always feel like I’m 12, which is why I have these Mic Mac earrings. When I saw them in the store, I just could not restrain myself. The 12-year-old in me screamed “Mine, mine, mine.” And then ran to the counter giggling with glee. They are soooo pink and a tiny teeny bit ridiculous…and […]

Kiitokset rakkaalle mummolle, joka jaksaa vuodesta toiseen neuloa villasukkia tumpelon tyttärentyttären jalkojen lämmikkeeksi. There is one thing I absolutely cannot exist without…wool socks. Seriously. My circulation is crap, or more like non-existent in my toes and fingers. I’m that person you see wearing gloves in the summer if it gets cold outside. So wool socks […]

I’m starting off this week with a dare to myself. Do one thing every day that scares you. So today I’m going to bite the bullet, jump off the cliff…share a couple of my sketches with you. What’s the worst that could happen? Okay, I’m kind of terrified. I’ll get over it. Most likely. Probably. […]

Just a little Sunday fun. I love chocolate. The end. Coming next week. What I wore today. My oldest pair of jeans and stripes, which I also love (though not as much as chocolate). I may need to visit my hairdresser soonish. Or right about now. I’m ashamed to admit how long it’s been. ~J~

Friday, I thought you’d never come. I started my countdown to the weekend on Monday morning, which is never a good sign. Well, here we are finally. Here are a couple of links to start off the weekend. You’ve probably heard about The Dress. The world is going insane trying to decide what the colours […]

This is why my night table is a mess. If I hide things in boxes, I invariably forget about them. Yesterday, I found these hiding in one of my (many) jewellery boxes. I guess it’s time to do a little jewellery inventory and see what other surprises wait for me. This could take a while. […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m so sick of winter and especially this crappy weather. Slush, ice, slush, ice, slush, ice – and then a bit more slush and ice. And let’s not forget the grey weather. If I was ever going to make a Fifty Shades of Grey joke, this would be the […]

Today, I will answer one simple question. How to motivate yourself to work out, when all you feel like doing is watching Grey’s Anatomy and eating chocolate? So what’s the answer? Hmm, let’s see… Oh right. Buy some new clothes. (Warning: This solution can be quite expensive in the long run.) You’re welcome. ~J~

Exhibit A Mustard blazer It’s too big. It goes with nothing. The colour doesn’t exactly flatter the pale Finnish complexion. Case history The accused found the blazer in a Zara sale. Having suffered through the abysmal Finnish winter, she was experiencing colour withdrawal, and hence was drawn to the brightest spot in the store, like […]
