FALLING FOR FALL

Fashion

Hey babes!

It’s the season of sweater weather, crunchy leaves & pumpkin spice everything. I’m just so happy to be living in a country with 4 seasons!

I feel like September, October are the busiest months of the year – so many new projects & ideas! With that being said I am so happy & proud to announce that I’m the official brand ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger in Estonia. How crazy is that? Representing one of my favorite brands… It’s a dream come true!

Due to that I decided to share with you guys this cute outfit that we shot with Philip (@philtori). Many of you couldn’t find the dress, so I’m gonna make your life a bit easier & give you direct links to all the pieces.

What else is going on?

Being one of the stars of Denim Dream’s AW18 campaign has led me to many different challenges. For example on Wednesday (03.10) Ott, Liza & I are going to do a Facebook LIVE on Denim Dream’s page. It is going to be the first time for me and to be honest I’m a little afraid & anxious about it. But coming out of comfort zone is what helps you grow, right? So tune in ~12:00! I’m counting on your support, loves!

Wings are meant for flying, right? Next week I’ll be on my way to NYC with my bestie! I just looked up on Facebook that the last time we travelled together was 4 years ago when we went to Nepal. So it’s about time to have a proper friendcation!

At the end of the month I’ll be travelling with my other two besties – my mom & my sister! …and we’ll be heading to Paris!

So, that was my little life update. I wish you guys a good night & I’ll talk to you sooooon! 💖

TOMMY WITH LOVE

Fashion

Hey babes!

Where did the summer go? I mean it was beach weather couple of days ago and now I’m wearing coats and warm jackets again.

Chinos have been my go-to pick lately when it comes to pants. I recently started playing golf, so polo shirts and chinos are all I’m buying these days. Please don’t ask me about my HCP. I mean golf is a lot of fun but I still suck at it, haha!

The star of the outfit is definitely the bag! I love-love-love satchel bags! So versatile! It can be carried on your shoulder, crossbody or just in your hand.

Everything is from Tommy Hilfiger and available right now! (except my sneakers)

10 reasons to visit Rotermann City

Lifestyle

1. Pagarini – My latest discovery! The reason why I’m so obsessed with this place – their pretzels. MAJOR DROOOL! They put melted butter inside the pretzel. I kid you not, I go there at least twice a week because I just can’t get enough. If you haven’t tried them yet, I beg you to go for it!

2. Carmen Cafe – Cute coffee shop! They have a good selection of breakfast options, pastries and I really like the interior (especially on the 1st floor). Also, during summertime they have a terrace right on the street, so you can do some people watching while enjoying your coffee & croissant!

3. Reede – Such an awesome streetwear store! You can find there all the hip & trendy brands such as Vans, Alpha Industries, Dr. Martens, Adidas, Cheap Monday – to name a few. So, if you’re in the market for a new cool bomber jacket or a pair of Dr. Martens boots, make a visit!

4. RØST – The easiest way to find that place is by following the smell of cinnamon rolls. You just cannot miss this! It’s a very trendy cafe and for a reason – they have the best cinnamon rolls in town! My favorite sweet treat ever!

5. Stradivarius, Bershka – Very popular High Street Fashion stores! I don’t know about you guys but I never leave these stores empty handed. Today I was too busy to try anything on but I will go back to Stradivarius tomorrow to try on those chinos that I spotted! They have such a variety of colours & patterns to choose from!

6. Juustukuningad – You know that meme: “It has too much cheese on it! Said noone. EVER.” I can relate to that! This place definitely has the best selection of Dutch cheeses. My favorite is Le Petit Doruvael with truffels. Also I suggest you to try out their own mustard sauce with dill & honey, yum!

7. Tallinn Design House – If local design is something that you are interested in, this is THE place to visit! They have such a nice variety of Estonian fashion, cosmetics, furnishing and other bits & pieces!

8. Flamm – Very cozy wine bar with a selection of flatbreads! I usually go there to catch up with a friend over a glass of wine. It is perfect for that!

9. Pull – I’ve been there for dinner about 5-6 times and I have ZERO regrets! It is very busy, specially on weekends. So make sure to book a table. As it is created and owned by famous Estonian grill masters, be ready to enjoy one of the best BBQ experiences!

10. Instagram friendly – I think it is fair to say that Rotermann City is one of the most instagrammable areas in Tallinn. Being a blogger/influencer I have to fabricate new shooting spots all the time and Rotermann City is like a safety net – whenever I’m in a hurry or if I’m just out of ideas, this is the place where I end up!

WHAT I WEAR DAILY

Fashion

Hey cuties!

How have you been? I’ve been so busy, my schedule has been so hectic lately. It definitely feels that Spring has arrived. FINALLY!

I always start my outfit posts with commenting the weather, haha. Then again it is one the biggest factors when I choose what to wear. Through Instagram I seem to go for smart casual mostly but in real life when I’m working and running daily errands my go-to outfit looks exactly like on these pictures here – jeans, tshirt or a hoodie, puffer or a bomber jacket paired with cute sneakers and sunnies.

These awesome pieces are from Tommy Jeans. If you’ve never visited that store, I suggest you to do that ASAP! Tommy Hilfiger store has this rather classy vibe to it, you can find both casual and smart casual outfits. But Tommy Jeans is all about that 90s street vibe – high-waisted destroyed jeans, big logos, patches, sneakers with chunky soles, awesome caps etc. Love it! Keep scrolling to see more pictures!

Also, I’m So excited about the upcoming months! There’s going to be a lot of travelling which means a lot of new content! Yay! Next week we are heading to Dubai. I really-really need some sun. Last week I was using the lightest shade of foundation that I own and it’s white as snow.

In May I’ll be going to Milan + Lake Como with my mom and my sister, whoop-whoop! Can’t wait!

June is going to be so awesome! I’m working on a little secret project that I can share with you guys next month. Also in June it is time to pack those bags again and go to Ibiza! This is the place where T and I got engaged, so it is the perfect destination to celebrate our 4-year anniversary.

One of T’s friends is celebrating his birthday in July. So we are all going to Croatia! It is going to be my first time there, so if you’ve been there (Split & Hvar), I would really appreciate all the eating + shopping + what to see- types of recommendations! Thank you in advance!

Enjoy this beautiful Spring of ours!

COMFORT FIRST: Hoodie + blazer

Fashion

Black, white, gray – that’s everything I need for my summer wardrobe. And a little bit of blue denim ofcourse. For some reason I’ve been gravitated towards those basic colors. All you’ve got to do is mix different shades, textures & cuts. I decided to go with blazers-over-hoodies kind of look. It’s such a fun way to dress up your casual-comfy outfit.

The jewel of the outfit is this Saint Laurent hoodie which was a theft from my boyfriend’s closet. Well, actually he didn’t want it anymore and I’m all about that oversized look. Problem solved, haha. Unfortunately it’s a runway piece and not available anymore. But you can always use some other cool hoodie with a cheeky line or a symbol or with something that just stands out.

I also wanted to give a shout-out to these Zara jeans that I scored last week from sales. They are so edgy, I can’t even… love them! Such cool detailing. I managed to find them on Zara’s website aswell, so check them out down below!
