ENJOYING MY COZY SUNDAY

Just saying hello from my cozy bed, enjoying the rainy Sunday evening. My weekend was filled with great moments with great people and I saw a lot of really dear, old friends. The summer weathers haven't still kicked off yet and I'm only hoping it would get warm before this next weekend: we are spending it in Hanko (in Finland) where my parents are going to attend a regatta and I'm waiting to see my old friends again which is the best thing. I'll be back with other topics, now back to just enjoying spending time in my small but lovely apartment (I'm just totally a home person). Have a great one! 

VIDORRETA SHOES – FOR ESPADRILLE LOVERS

For few years now, here in Finland at least the it summer chilling shoe has been espadrilles. They are light, comfy and completes your beachy outfits and looks. They have not been trash talked in the same way that maybe Uggs are, yet and for that matter are totally cool and approved in our circles. Because of various espadrille suppliers there are pairs with thin soles and fabrics that can't really handle the rough use (summer rains or wild yard parties). I'm one of those who buy multiply pairs per summer season because of two reasons: they are cheap and I like to have different colors to match my mood.
The city life during the summer allows you to enjoy your espadrilles, but they should be maybe a little bit stronger when it comes to materials. My newest shoe love is Vidorreta espadrilles in camouflage, which I bought yesterday at a sailing shop in Helsinki and got my pair around 50 €, lucky me (see my Instagram)! After strutting around in them all day yesterday and today, I'm in love and recommend everyone to discover this interesting shoe label. What would be better than enjoying summer in your chill city-meets-beach look and giving your feet the long needed vacation and spa treatment at the same time? Since there are no possibility to get any vesicles they truly are the best innovation after Uggs (don't take too seriously, but these kind of go to the same category of über comfy and out of duty shoe wear).

BEST CHAMPAGNE BAR IN TOWN – MATTOLAITURI

The place in Helsinki for afterwork, Saturday and Sunday drinks, tanning and showing off is Mattolaituri (champagne bar/cafe/terrace) which is fully crowded everyday during the summer time. It's located near the center of Helsinki and although it is definitely not the cheapest place in town, it is the coolest and most beautiful one for sure when it comes to location, design and atmosphere. Here you can enjoy Moët Ice Imperial, take a bath in the sun and observe other really well dressed people. So put on your favorite white dress, sunnies, some LV and stay for drinks!
