Listening (read replaying) Maroon 5's One More Night and liking it!

Whilst I was in Finland a few week's back, we had coffee at Kappeli. I looove that place. The prices are obviously silly high, but that is given when you go to places like this.

I suppose for me, it is the aesthetic beauty in art, places, taste and music that often pleases my eye more than anything else. I don't know if I necessarily attach  values to them, but I definitely link emotions and a state of mind with beautiful objects, tastes, music and smells.

My best friend is pregnant with her first child, she and her husband have just bought a beautiful home and are now renovating it so that everything is ready for the new born. They have even a sauna! I love them so much <3

Hence, I thought, some contributions towards adulthood had to be done on my part too. As you can see below, at this moment, this was the best I could do :D Estee Lauder lipsticks.

I thought this was pretty cool. Loved how the grey vespa matched so well with the snowy ground.

The girls and I had a wonderful 4 hour dinner in Govent Garden yesterday. The food was good and the girls were great. You know that you are in a good company when you feel completely refreshed and filled up with positive energy after you say goodbyes.

Autumn accessories

I visited Windsor last Sunday and thought to show you what I brought back from the Royal spot. I saw these gloves with leather straps and this pretty cognac envelope leather bag whilst strolling around the city centre. Gloves I needed, but the bag was a spur of a moment purchase. What I still need is a big beige chunky scarf and a new mid-season coat - well, the coat is more of a nice to have than a must have. I saw a woman wearing a perfect one on a tube the other morning and would have asked her where she got hers from, but she got off the next stop. I would guess Zara. However, as I said, the coat is not a must have by any means, but, if I manage to find them two, I think I'm pretty much sorted for this Autumn. Also, I got myself L'occitane's new hand cream, Limited edition Date Bouquet, as it matched so well with the others :) Hah, thankfully, the hand cream did smell lovely and  made your hand feel beautifully soft too as otherwise my last purchase would not have been so successful. Heh,I do think that sometimes buying infused hand creams and body lotions can be a bit of a hit and miss -especially when you don't have the opportunity to smell or try them out first :)

I wish mornings would still be as bright as they are in this picture. This picture was taken maybe a month ago just before leaving the house for work around 8 am. A month later, it is still pitch black outside at the same hour! It is definitely that time of the year when you have to make sure you go to bed early enough the night before so that you don't fee too tired to wake up in the following morning :)

Morning morning rise and shine.

I have a new fabulous morning routine. I'm trying to enjoy it as long as I possibly can. It basically goes like this during the week. Wake up at 6am. Straight out of the bed,no snooze aloud. Shower, make up, choose clothes for work (check weather forecast before hand), phaff around. Then around 7am, breakfast and coffee. After breakfast, get everything together and leave the house around 7.20am. Take the tube and ride until 2/3 of your total work journey. I hop off a few stops before so that I am approximately 45-30mins walking distance away from my work. Then, I enjoy the loveliest morning walk in a peaceful South Kensington. Finally, I arrive to work in time, however, with refreshed mind and full of positive morning energy.
