My midsummer

A lot of biking around Tampere, having morning coffee at the nearby park (and burning myself at the sun), making a dreamcatcher, having fun with my nailspolishes, geocaching (which is so awesome!!) and just relaxing. Perfect.

Oh yeah, Grimes!

And did I mention that I have tickets for myself and my sister to see Grimes at November in Helsinki!!!! Can-not-wait! (And as soon as I started writing this, my playlist started to play Genesis by Grimes. It's destiny.)

RGB Silk

These digitally printed silk scarves took my breath away when I saw these photos. They are designed by Milan-based Carnovsky and the collection is called RGB and I want every single piece of that collection. I don't know what would I do with them but I still want them. Totally beautiful.

Mister lies (and more)

I just fell in love with Mister lies (Z, I think you will like it too). And I also found some other great music and videos. And then I had to put also old founds here too. Great way to start Midsummer nights. (I notice that almost every one of these are kinda 80's inspired. Weird.)

The tattoo

Here it is!!! Love love love. My new tattoo is still quite tender and red but who cares when it's so cool (and when you can take a black&white photo).

Theme music for a new tattoo

Tomorrow I'm gonna show you my new tattoo! Because today it's all red and covered with plastic. But it's so amazing! I had it today and we had such a great time with my tattooist. So big thanks to Veera at Takomo. Today I'm gonna let you listen some theme songs for my tattoo. Because these were the songs we listened while making the tattoo.

Go to: Kotka 2012

BEWARE! Because this is going to be the longest post I've ever done in this blog. An ode to Kotka, to Finnish summer which is so beautiful and so short and to nature. I spent the most amazing weekend at Kotka, my original home town. There was so much going on and I had four of my cameras with me. I think I have to make a list first about everything:

- I saw my Mom, my sister, my two brothers and lots of other people
- I ate breakfast at my Mom's balcony and she told me stories about me and my siblings when we were kids. I laughed so much that my little brother woke up.
- I visited my sister's pop-up second hand shop Pilkku (check it out on Kirkkokatu if you're at Kotka. And Anna, you're amazing!)
- I watched people doing graffitis at Kaupunki Haltuun!-happening
- I made some art at Bertta
- I first lost my camera's lens cover at my sister shop, then I dropped one to a river
- I was blown away with all the colours of azalea park
- I went by the sea and saw a huge anchor, islands and xylophone
- I visited my godparents and went for a swim in a hidden lake, then some sauna and grilled sausages
- I had a long morning walk with my cameras and got wet on a summer rain
- I made some food with my Mom and had it with the whole family

And let me just tell you: Kotka is quite a nice place to visit! Because for so long I thought that there's nothing and now there was so much. I actually cannot wait to go back there.

North Korean Architecture

Pyongyang Architectural and Cultural Guide shows how the strict propaganda of North Korea can be seen in architecture. These buildings are so overwhelming in these photos that I wonder how they would seem when you're actually standing in front of them.

Surprise

Today I got this book to my work! There isn't any note that who send it, the envelope said that it was posted from Germany. So if the sender is reading this, THANK YOU! Because I have no clue who sent it.
