VACATION IN UAE

Travelling

UAE – I’m baaaack! But this time it is touchdown Abu Dhabi with my girlfriends! Yay! We booked our trip already back in February, so the wait has been way too long. I’m SO excited for all the fun stuff!

Due to that I decided to make a throwback post about my last trip here. Tim & I were in UAE in March but I didn’t have my blog back then. So I couldn’t share all the pictures I wanted to. But now I can! I hope you’ll enjoy it! xx

ATLANTIC ROAD TRIP ’17

Travelling

You guuuuuuys! I’ve missed you! Summer is over and I’m so ready to get back on track with my blog posts. Most of you who follow me on Instagram know that a month ago Tim and I went on a road trip. But it was no ordinary road trip – it was THE ATLANTIC ROAD TRIP ’17. And it was epic!

So, what is it? Car lovers and enthusiasts come together with their sports cars and supercars to go on a road trip together from Copenhagen, through Norway to Stockholm. Within 5 days. More information HERE and HERE!

If you know me well, you know that I’m not the wisest person when it comes to cars. God knows I’ve mixed up Lamborghini to Ferrari and to this very day I still get heat for that, haha. But I do like fast cars, road trips, meeting new people and discovering new countries – and this is exactly what this trip was all about!

FYI, all the pictures were taken with iphone 7.

And so it began…

Obviously I don’t know what “travel light” means. Checking out from Hotel Skt Petri and getting ready for the START in Copenhagen. Click HERE and HERE to see how it actually was!

For the sake of this post – this is Aston Martin Vantage V8

My man! Decorating his name with an Estonian flag. 😄

On our way to Larvik! Ferry rides have a significant role when driving through Norway.

Isn’t this the most breathtaking view?

JUST AMAZING!

I’ve always wanted to go to Norway! FINALLY I can check it off my bucket list.

Ice cream break. 🍦

After a night in Rosendahl our next stop should have been Valldal but instead we took a little detour. The reason was that we started having issues with our brakes. Nothing major but as the roads & curves are no joke in that area, we decided to head out to Oslo to get them checked immidiately.

That Mexican place in Oslo was AWESOME! It’s called “Taqueria.”

A bit of eating, shopping, wandering

Breakfast in Cafe Pascal, Stockholm. Delissshhh! This table situation is so me. 👆🏼 Grabbing a newspaper for unsolved Sudokus whenever in sight.

Major matcha lemonade cravings while writing this. 👅 Also picked up some bits & bobs from Sephora. Have you guys tried any of these? Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz has been my go-to for years & years. I always stock up when possible.

… and finally it was time for a proper closing party at Mister French!

To sum up:

Golden confetti overdose. Min speed 165 km/h. About million dropped pins. Cute & fluffy sheep everywhere. Too many lost driver’s licenses. Way too many fines. If Norway wasn’t wealthy before, it is now. A lot of “exotic” pictures/videos in our chat. The amount of Louis Vuitton carry-ons. Dude. MAJOR CAR GOALS. And finally & most importantly – ART ’17 fam. It wouldn’t have been what it was without you awesome peeps! ❤️

See you all next year!

SNAPSHOTS FROM RIGA

Travelling

Last Thursday we went to Riga to celebrate one of my best friend’s birthday. I think the last time I was there was about 2 years ago?! It’s been a while. When we started our little voyage the weather was very gray and a little rainy even. I was quite freaked out because I had packed only one semi-warm jacket with me. But the closer we got to Riga, the warmer it got. We ended-up having beach weather the whole weekend. Yay!

This is actually my hangry face. Sneaky. 👆🏽👀

On Friday morning we went to Index cafe for breakfast. It’s 5-min walk from Radisson Blu Conference & Spa. I ordered cottage cheese pancakes w/ sour cream & jam. DROOL. After that we drove to Jurmala and basically spent the day there. Ofcourse we couldn’t stay away from shopping malls that were on our trajectory. So little pit-stops here and there were a must.

Picked up a little treat for the evening. 🖤

…and here it is – a dress from Sandro! [HERE] I was pleasently surprised to see Sandro and Maje stores in Riga. [Shopping mall Spice] I always end up leaving these stores with a little sumthin’-sumthin’.

It’s actually a simple black dress but the thing is I usually don’t go for that deep cut. That’s why I decided to keep everything else as minimal as possible. I paired it with LV Silver Light Sandals [HERE], Saint Laurent Classic Kate bag and red lips. Oh, and the biggest accessory of the picture – cotton candy sunset.

For our last breakfast in Riga I found the cutest little cafe – Mr.Fox! It’s also very close to Radisson Blu Conference & Spa. First of all, I loved the interior! Obviously! I’ve been obsessed with banana leaf print since Dolce & Gabbana came out with it couple years ago. It gives such an instagram-cafe type of look to this place. 😄 And their food was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! Such a wide (& healthy) selection – smoothie bowls, avocado toasts, buckwheat waffles, porridge, oat pancakes etc, etc. If you’re in the area definitely check it out!

Next post will be about a beauty tip I can’t live without!

ISLAND LIFE

Travelling

Heeeeey! Did you miss me? Because I missed you! ❤️

Somewhere in June I went to Visby, Gotland with my family. I decided not to make a post immidiately as I had made one just recently. But now I think it’s about time to share what I captured!

We were so lucky to have a sunny day meanwhile it was raining heavily in Tallinn. Tim (my bf) was rather busy in the morning, so my mom, my sister and I decided to head out to the city and find a place to eat breakfast. I knew exactly where I wanted to go (Josbaren) but unfortunately the season hadn’t started yet, quite many places were still closed. So for brekkie we picked this cute little cafe named Ka:feit. Lovvved the interior! Food was alright.

All full and good to go we started our old town stroll. Basically it consisted of taking pictures with every rose bush on that island, passing by local shops, eating ice cream and laughing until it hurt. My mom, my sister and I have a very close relationship. It’s always such a blast with these two! We have so many inside jokes that we are 24/7 laughing when together. So if you were on the island at the same time and heard some people being really loud – probably us, SORRY. 😄

If you go to the island with Tallink’s charter cruise then you’ve got 8 hours to wander around. It seems like a long time but it goes so fast! For dinner we decided to go for seafood. Last year we wanted to have dinner in this seafood restaurant called Bakfickan but it was fully booked. But not this time! We were able to get a table and it was totally worth the wait! Fresh seafood heaven!

On our way back to the ship we passed by an ice cream factory (which is a MUST!) and treated ourselves with a little dessert.

It was such a fun day! Being able to spend time with your close ones truly is a blessing! ❤️

VISBY

Travelling

That’s right! On Sunday I’m heading to Visby, Gotland. Yay! This time are my mom and my sister coming aswell which makes this getaway even more fun. Every summer Tallink makes about 4-5 charters to Visby and it’s kind of a tradition for me to go. So I decided to do a throwback as I’ve got a lot of pretty pictures from last year.

Streets of Visby

If I’d have to describe Visby shortly I would say that it’s like Scandinavia’s own Ibiza! You got your old town with beautiful buildings, colourful flowers & bushes on every corner, healthy cafes, beaches & beach clubs, cute shops, harbor and so much more. It’s the cutest island ever!

Every time I’ve been there the weather has been just amazing. Hopefully by saying that I won’t jinx it, haha. Anyways I hope you enjoyed my throwback because I did. Specially because of the weather today in Tallinn. So depressing.

Talk to you soon, loves!
