L`amica finlandese

I wanted to make a post of my weekend and V-day, but I forgot my camera home on Saturday and I will get the pictures later. You know how it is here, "domani cara..."

I got my dear friend Sanna today visiting me for a week. We share a long history together. We both come from Rauma, lived in Turku and then she moved to Helsinki when I came here to Milan. There is no doubt what we are going to do the whole week.... Enjoy our vacations!!!!! (Actually I should be job hunting, but maybe I can have a few days relaxing time before the women fashion week starts.)

The afternoon started with sparkling and some tourist stuff in the center... meaning lots of pictures. Tomorrow she will for sure drag me to all the museums and sightseeings. Hih... I don`t mind. ;o)

After Duomo and Galleria (and a bit shoe shopping in La Rinascente for me) we met my schoolfriends for aperitifs in a nice place called Cheese. The buffet table was pretty good compared for the others I have visited. It is so funny that now when the school is finished I spend much more time with them. Tomorrow, back for beeing a tourist again...

Serata di festa

My fashion design studies at Istituto Marangoni are finally over. We had all the final exams on Tuesday morning. I need to admit that I got pretty nervous the night before and in the morning. I finished almost everything already last Friday and wasn`t that stresses about the last days, but then I started to think if I could have done better... (Dummie!!!) There were still people who didn`t sleep the last nights and who did the final technicals at school while waiting for their turn.

Okay, I graduated with excellent grades so all my work really paid off. I am satisfied. ;o) After my exams I just felt overwhelmed and although I was tired I couldn`t sleep. Too much adrenaline... I met my friend for lunch and finally bought my new mannequin.

In the evening we went to Fashion Cafe for aperitifs to celebrate the graduation with my schoolfriends. Kinda funny that when we started there was 16 of us, during the year 5 dropped out and at least 1 failed in the end. So like I have tried to tell you, not that easy studying at Marangoni if you take it seriously...

We did some bar- jumping after Fashion Cafe and at some point found ourselves from a cafeteria in Brera eating pizza-slices, croissants and drinking sparkling. Nam! After Corso Como we finally ended the night to the legendary Hollywood...

We got some fireworks also to the table... ;o)

Our gang that was left before entering Hollywood... Great music there, we had so much fun. So much that after Wednesday morning when I finally got to bed, I slept almost 3 days...

"La sfida"

I got a photo challenge from Katariina. I needed to take the fourth foulder from my pictures and pick up the fourth photo and tell something about it.

This is from Santa Margherita Ligure. It is taken from the balcony of our hotel Imperiale. I adored this hotel; private beach, amazing breakfast, live music in the garden in the evenings and of course the best company possible. The following summer we stayed in the hotel shown down in the picture. Hopefully next summer I have time to go there again...

Carnevale di Punks Wear Prada

I have been working for my finals for some weeks now and struggling with my mind pretty badly, so I really needed to get out and have some fun. On Saturday night there was a mask party which I wanted to attend. My friends had been telling about this every weekend theme festival and this lucky Saturday it was an erotic mask carnival... ;o)

When I am completely concentrated into something I just want to finish the project I am on and relax afterwards. I have barely seen my friends for the last weeks. Okay, some quick aperitifs with Teemu and dinners with Irene, but not that much... I missed my friends!

You like the white mask I made? I was thinking that when I make my first Lingerie-collection I could sell these as well.... Hih.

My boys for the night...

The place Santa Tecla Cafe was pretty small and all we did for the entire night was dancing. It was pretty crowded, I normally prefer having a table, but this time it was fun!!!!

I remember always from leaving the nightclub why I don`t go out that often. I HATE looking for the taxi. This time was not an exception. No taxis!!! It didn`t help that I gave my socks to my girlfriend because her shoes were killing her, and now I was in trouble walking with my 12 cm heels... I can just say that Via Torino was pretty cold in the beginning of February and my friend was thinking that I am big time out of my mind... ;o) Well, something new for the "I have never"-game...

25 cose da me

There goes a circular letter in facebook that you need to tell 25 things about yourself. I will add it here as well. Some things are dreams for me... ;o) Btw, this picture is from last night`s party. I will tell you more later... It was so much fun!!!

1. I am a dreamer. (Like you know... I prefer living with my heart...)
2. I love travelling, but I hate to fly except in Business Class.
3. I love sleeping and I enjoy taking naps…especially with someone.
4. I adore Italian music.
5. I drink at least one class of red wine or sparkling every day with food.
6. I could live with champagne and strawberries… okay, a piece of Parmiggiano as well.
7. I love baking and I am pretty good in it. (I have heard at least...)
8. One day I want to live in a city which is by the sea and the mountain. I love the sea breeze! Santa Margherita Ligure is perfect, but way too small.

9. Winter is my favorite season of all. (That means white snow for snowboarding.)
10. I love beautiful lingerie especially La Perla, but at home I don`t like to wear anything. ;o)
11. I love shoes, I have at least 150 pairs and they are not cheap…
12. I could have bought a Porsche with the money I have in clothing, bags, shoes and jewellery… easily!
13. I want a Porsche, black coupe.
14. I want a black panther for a pet… with the diamond collar of course, most probably it would starve to death with me feeding it with Nutella only.
15. I enjoy staying home, but I enjoy aperitifs at Bvlgari as well.
16. I miss my friends every day.
17. One day I will have my own clothing brand.
18. One day I would love to publish a biography. You wouldn`t believe the juicy stories, but there are too many secrets that I don`t want to tell…
19. I still haven`t gotten my Chanel 255 with golden chain or my Hermès Birkin… (Wouldn`t that be a great idea for graduation gift???)
20. I have been robbed, twice.
21. I love bubble baths. Too bad I don`t have a bathtub. That is why I always want a hotelroom with the tub.
22. 3 nights ago I listened to The Strip`s "Breakeven" at least 50 times with repeat. I know… ;o) 2 nights ago it was The Fray`s "You Found Me"…. Hahahaa!!!!
23. When my prince marries me, it will happen by the beach, white sand and barefoot...
24. I hate washing my hair.
25. I want a walk in closet for all my clothing and shoes like in Sex and the city. *Gosp…*
26. I find tall men sexy…. (Ups, that was extra....)
