I sat there with my phone refreshing the page over and over again. I mean it’s almost 9 am, publish the list of the new students already? At this point I don’t care if it’s a no, I just want to know. I feel the build-up of my intense training for this moment to see if my name is among the accepted to study classical singing… My path to this moment started when I was 6 stating proudly to my mom that I want to be a conductor. My mom sang at the time in a choir and I sat and watched the rehearsals. In fact, I was only 3 months old on my first practice. I was in awe over the conductors elegant waiving almost ballet like movements- he was a painter and the choir was the colours.   “Well” my mom said to my ambitious goal “you’ll have to learn the violin and piano”. So I did, I started with Violin lessons after that at the age of 10 I started to play the piano. I got to sing solo in church every Christmas. I auditioned to sing in the opera kids choir, I wasn’t accepted. Many of my friends

The season of wrapskirts is finally here. I ordered some goodies from monki and I have to say I've been enjoying the big poofy sleeves and messy buns.

Summer is finally here in Helsinki. I've enjoyed wearing dresses again. I've spotted a new trend. Knitted vests, preferably layered over dresses, white shirts or just on its own. First I felt this is not my thing... Every picture I looked at on Pinterest trying to convince me that "it would totally work for me"- I just found it had MAYOR Chandler Bing energy (lol). But I actually own a knitted top (not quite a vest but close enough). So I was playing around with different style combos. And I had on me my beautiful summer dress- I felt the top calling me "just try it". First I thought- nope doesn’t work. But after doing a couple twirls in front of the mirror- it just clicked. The top gives my basic summer dress some flare. Since my "makeup through the decades" post, I've really fallen in love with 60's hairstyles. I did a 60's inspired French twist.
