My clothes moved: from banana boxes into a walk-in closet

So yesterday the project of organizing the closet got started. It's not done yet, but it's looking good. I'll be getting the walk-in closet I have dreamed of (of course it doesn't look quite like Carries, but it's better than any wardrobe I've ever had before...you have to start somewhere, right?).

Anyhow, my dream has always been to get most of  my clothes, and my fiance's of course, hanging instead of in drawers and stuff.

Before:

After:

 Then some chips (Kartanon) and dip (creamy pepper).

I have been waiting for this moment for about 5 months!

So now the days of my dear clothes living in banana boxes are finally over and they have gotten a new home. And if you ask me, a far better one.

And this mornings morning coffee, before taking off to the summer cottage for relaxation, good food and company, sun&swimming, blueberry picking.... I'll be back in a few days :)

 

HOME

finally home again!

It has been an experience, but oh how I have missed you Finland. 

 Thank you to the girls who have made this experience worthwhile and who have become my very dear friends, it wouldn't have been the same without you!

And of course also a little thank you to my lovely welcome committee; Mamma, Sis and my Love :) You have given me the privilege to have a home to miss.

 

last night.

finally it's here, the last night in Germany... Tomorrow I'll be coming home!! I can't describe how good it feels, even though I haven't had time to study for my last finals tomorrow...

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Tell the World I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the World that I’m coming

Diddy - Coming Home

soon soon soon

  Soon I will be going home! The countdown is finally coming to an end, only 2 days left! 

 

Now just a little bit of studying left...

although i'm lacking a bit of motivation :(

 

    

autumn chills

I know that most people probably will hate me for saying this, but I found myself waiting for autumn. I have different music playlists for every season. And the other day I wanted to hear a song from my autumn playlist. Then I realized I can't wait for the last dark summer nights that then turn into chilly autumn. When you get to light the candles and have friends over for wine and gossip after a busy summer. I can't wait for the last fresh summer mornings that then turn into crisp autumn mornings when you get to wrap yourself in warm scarfs. And don't get me wrong, I love summer, but I also love autumn and all the other seasons. I couldn't live without the changes of the seasons.

Here's a great Finnish song, that I have in both my summer and autumn playlist:

This song is about being young, beautiful, happy and about letting life happen. It's one of my favorites at the moment and for me it will always be exactly about these last days of summer when you know it'll soon be over and that autumn is just behind the corner. The melancholia of knowing the summer with it's long nights is over and soon autumn will be taking over. It's a good feeling.

Today's outfit - Dagens

So here comes today's outfit, which from here onwards will be called "dagens", which is Swedish for today's (as for those who know me knows Swedish is my mother tongue) :D and excuse me for the mess behind me, packing is still in process...

 

 Jeans - Promod

Top - Only

Grey Sweater - Pimkie

Neckless - Bijou Brigitte

Scarf - I am

The things I do instead of studying...

So again, I have spent the day occupying my mind with everything else than studying...
Here's some of what has been on my precious mind:

A new camera? 
I've been surfing and trying to find the perfect camera for me to spend my last money on...

Nails...

Something I spend time on always when I should be doing something else...

And autumn weddings

Isn't there something so charming with them...I think so :)

So that's where my time goes...and now coffee with friends!

my favorite outfit from last summer

I just found some pictures from last summer, and wanted to share this outfit with you

 

This was one of my favorites from last year, and I know the picture's not so great. A black dress/long shirt, bought years ago from JC and leggings from BikBok. The leggings look a bit like lace fabric, and are therefore really nice in the summer, since they are not too warm but gives a more 'covered up' look than bare legs, and makes you feel less naked.

This goes great with a light blue denim jacket for chilly summer nights or early autumn.

nap time

Ah, I had forgot the beauty of napping! How is that possible? Napping is one of my ultimate favorite pastimes. I tend to take naps almost anywhere and at anytime, but lately I haven't been napping much... According to the National Sleep Foundation there's many benefits from napping, like a 20-30 min nap can restore your alertness. So I now took a maybe hour long nap, so logically that would mean that I am double as alert as I normally am! :D

(I know it doesn't work like this, but it makes me feel way better to think it does...)

Never underestimate the power of a power nap!

the end of an era...

Like I have mentioned before, my last week in Germany has started and soon I'll be heading back home. It has been an experience and as they say, everything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Some parts of my time spent here have been difficult. Not because it would be horrible here, but mostly because so many amazing things and people have been waiting at home.

The time spent here has gone by faster than I had ever imagined though, and now finals are already here. I still have a couple left, but it at times feels like my brain is on holiday already.  I am happy to  have spent these months here after all, been able to focus my studies on an industry I'm actually interested in, and learn some German, natürlich! So may I already say, vielen Dank Deutschland! It has been a pleasure to meet yet another culture!

As the countdown until my journey back home has started, so has my packing! And believe me, many times have I found myself wondering how I'm gonna get all my things back home with me. So, therefore I did a test packing. It looks quite bright actually... Luckily I have made a few short visits back home!  That would be most of my the stuff I still have left here, mostly bargains I found during the sales here that just were too good to leave in the store! (I'll post about those when I get home most likely)

 Soon most things here are ready for me to close the door to this student dorm one last time and head towards new adventures...

...just a couple of things that will need to be fixed ASAP when I get home, before the new adventures can begin. Like a new hairdo! My hair, that used to be black, is now very faded after 5 months of no dye, and has also lost it's shape totally. 

 I'm not totally sure which way to go now though, blond or brunette? Short or medium? Any thoughts?

Now I'm off to bed, so that tomorrow maybe would be a more productive and less lazy day... Goodnight!
