What I bought from Zara this week. An oversized cashmere knit and a suede skirt with a zipper. Love this as a combo too!
Nämä kaksi juttua lähti mukaan Zarasta tällä viikolla: väljä kashmirneule ja mokkahame vetskarilla. Kombonakin tosi kiva!
1. Coffee coffee coffee. Cardamom on top makes it perfect.
2. Christmas decorations in stores part two.
3. Napping with Minnie. Whenever I decide to take a nap on the sofa, Minnie comes right away and she just falls asleep in one second. The best nap buddy.
4. First snow happiness.
1. Kahvia kahvia kahvia, tänään mennyt aika monta kuppia. Kardemummaa päälle niin täydellinen tulee.
2. Joulukoristeita kaupoissa osa kaksi. Vähän kyllä harmittaa ettei Stocka panosta yhtä hyvin kuin aiempina vuosina, kun ei sitä viidennen kerroksen joulutaivasta enää ole.
3. Päikkäreillä Minnien kanssa. Milloin ikinä päätänkään mennä sohvalle ottamaan päikkärit, Minnie tulee salamana, ja nukahtaa siihen samantien.
4. Ensi lumen ihailua.
Winter vibes in Helsinki
Talvista tunnelmaa Helsingissä
1. Brekkie at a spa with bloggers.
2. What I just wore when I took Minnie for a walk, it’s really cold outside! (And I love it.)
3. Minnie loves the snow too, she gets so crazy every time we go to our nearest park. And I just can’t stop laughing while watching her running in a circle like crazy.
4. Weekend traditions. Candies and Netflix.
1. Aamiaista spassa meidän Vitamin Well bootcamp porukalla.
2. Tällaisissa vaatteissa kävin juuri Minnien kanssa ulkona, ulkona on jo aika kylmä! (Ja rakastan sitä.)
3. Minnie on aivan hulluna lumesta myöskin, joka kerta kun päästään puistoon tapahtuu pieni sekoaminen. Juostaan ympyrää niin kovaa kuin jaloista lähtee, joka kerta.
4. Viikonlopputraditioita, Netflixiä ja irtokarkkeja.
Sunday mood with Minnie. Oh it’s been a good day! It has snowed a lot, we went for a long walk earlier with mom and Minnie, took some wintry pictures, watched kids ride down a hill with sleds, and I’ve just suddenly become so happy. Thank you god of snow, if it was you that did this.
Sunnuntaiköllöttelyä. Tänään on ollut niin kiva päivä! Lunta tuli päivällä paljon, käytiin pitkällä kävelyllä Minnien ja äidin kanssa, otettiin vähän talvisia kuvia, katseltiin kun lapset jo innoissaan menivät pulkkamäkeä ja kirkuivat, ja on ollut vain jotenkin niin hyvä olo nyt koko viikonlopun. Jos tämä johtuu lumesta, niin toivottavasti se ei sula ikinä.

So random! But last night I dreamt of Minnie (I don’t even know why?!) and she looked at me with her adorable eyes and we played and I took her on a walk lol. It was sooo cute, she was adorable and when I woke up my heart was filled with joy. 🙂
But dear Marianna, recently you have told us about your health. In my opinion it’s so nice of you. Because it reminds people that there is someone real, with real problems under this (or any) blog. Bloggers are also humans and they do not blog about everything. I’m a medicine student and it’s crazy how many illnesses and diseases are there in the world (and how impossible is to study all of them!). When something bad happens to your health, then it puts everything into perspective. Then you realise that it doesn’t matter if you have the cool boots that the other girls have or whether you can afford that trip to Miami with your girlfriends. I tend to think about it a lot – you and only YOU is the most important thing. With shitty healt (pardom my french), you can’t do anything. So I hope that you are better now and although I don’t know what you have/had, make sure that your family and friends get checked too! Even if they are feeling well. Health is a blessing. 🙂
Sorry for the long comment, just felt like expressing my feelings towards this topic. 🙂
Wishing you the best autumnwinter (I’m from a neighbour country so in my opinion this word explains it!). Love your posts, always will and always have been x
Take care, Marianna! And give Minnie, the hero of my dream, a cuddle from me 🙂
xx

Such a lovely post. I also already had a sneak peek on christmas decorations. 😀
Marianna says
Thank you Tanja! 🙂 x
emma says
äiti oli muutama vuos sitten vielä stockalla töissä ja sen lempparipuuhaa olikin rakentaa niitä joulujuttuja 😀 mutta ihaniaihania kuvia, minnietä katsoessa tulee aina mieli mennä halimaan meijän omaa karvapalleroa!
tällein ohimennen vielä kysäisin iphone 7 – mitä oot tykännyt? etenkin kuulokkeista haluaisin mielipiteen haha, joko vastauksena kommenttiin tai vaikka oma postauksensa puhelimelle? 🙂
Marianna says
Voi vitsi, se olisikin unelmatyö! 😀 Mä olin aikoinaan Stockalla töissä paketoimassa lahjoja, ja vitsi miten mä nautin!:D Joululaulut taustalla ja se koko fiilis, tekisi mieli hakea siihen hommaan uudestaankin.
Mutta niin iPhone 7:stä! Oon tykännyt paljon, siinä tulee niiden perus nappikuulokkeiden mukana se pieni converter (muunnin?) eli pieni johdonpätkä jonka avulla voi millä tahansa kuulokkeilla sitten kuunnella, mun mielestä se on ollut ihan suht vaivaton. 🙂 Aina täytyy vaan muistaa vaihtaa se johdonpätkä kuulokkeiden välillä jos vaihtelee kuulokkeita. Kai sitä pitäisi hommata bluetooth kuulokkeetkin, kerta Apple uskoo langattomaan tulevaisuuteen, joka tuossa muutoksessa taisi olla se idea… 🙂

Laís says
Looks like you had the best first week of november! I love the zara outfit you bought. Oh I love Christmas decor. I had such a rough year that i just want to make this Christmas extra special. And decor helps me get into the mood. How I wish I lived somewhere where it snows. Helsinki looks lovely in white.
Have a great week, Marianna!
Marianna says
Thank you so much Laís! 🙂 That sounds like a really good plan, I’ll do the same! I can’t wait to do a post about my own Christmas decorations and share some tips etc… Have a great week you too! x
Marianne says
Upea tuo ensimmäisen kuvan hame!

Kiitos ihana! 🙂
Kate says
I’ve been wondering for a long time if you have coffee mashine (what model?) or something, how do you make this cappuccino/latte type of coffee? Wish you all the best!
Marianna says
I have a small old-fashioned espresso maker, and then I heaten the milk separately in a pot and foam it with a tiny foamer. 🙂 x
Violka says
Helsinki is the city where I could to live 🙂 I have a question about solarium. what do you think about it? is it a good choice to get tanned for winter? I have a light complexion and at this time I’m pale as a ghost haha I would to know what do you think.
Love You & Minnie!
Marianna says
I used to go to solarium some years ago every winter, it does feel nice like laying under the sunshine and getting some tan, but I decided to stop that completely two or three years ago. I’d say don’t go! If there’s a slightest risk to damage your health it feels scary, though some people just compare it to normal sunshine… I get as pale as a A4 paper too, I should really find a good self tanner. 😀
R says
Hi Marianna! I love your blog. Which size is your Zara cashmere in? Definitly getting one 🙂
I just wanted to say that I love your blog, it makes me so calm, yet inspired. You seem like such a warm, caring and authentic person and I think you stand out from the other blogs that often can seem a bit fake. I can feel a lot of my own personality in you from what I’ve read from your blog, and really emphazise about the part of accepting who you are that you wrote in an earlier post. I often feel like I dont fit in because I feel different then everybody else, but I have to remember that its a blessing, not a course. I try to think that I am happy for who I am, and who Im not. But reading your blog makes me really happy, you are such a good blogger. Keep on doing what you do <3
Marianna says
Thank you so much! 🙂 I have it in medium!
Your words mean so much, I’ve never regretted sharing real thoughts here, just because of you and this kind of comments! I feel like I have so many virtual friends out there. <3
hannah says
So cute! I wish we had snow also. Enjoy!
Marianna says
Thank you Hannah! 🙂 x
Claudia says
Your photos always look so perfect! Could you tell me which iPhone apps do you use? 🙂
Marianna says
Thank you Claudia! 🙂 I use VSCO and Facetune. X
Kati says
Voi kuule kyllä se on toi lumi joka on sulle hyvän fiiliksen taikonut! 🙂 Helsinki kyllä todellakin yllättänyt tänä vuonna, täällä pohjoisessa saadaan odotella vielä kunnon lumisateita.
Marianna says
No on!! Voi kunpa tämä pysyisi nyt koko loppuvuoden, mutta toistaiseksi hyvältä vaikuttaa. 🙂 Sieltä vaan lisää tupruttaa! Toivotaan sinnekin pian lunta!
Carrie says
Your slippers look so comfy!! I need to get myself a pair for the colder weather coming. The snow in Helsinki is beautiful!

Marianna says
Thank you Carrie! I recommend, I love coming home and just changing into slippers. 🙂 x
Angie says
Hello Marianna! I’ve been reading your blog since spring 2010. We have a very similar taste in fashion and home decor, which is why I started following your blog.
You developed so well as a blogger and I have to say that I am proud of you 🙂 You are a genuine person. You write about personal stuff, about dealing with reality, you show people a normal girl who loves heels, but still can wear a hoodie.
I really keep my fingers crossed for you in every field of your life, because for sure you deserve it 🙂
Cheers from Poland <3
Marianna says
Hi Angie! Wow you’ve been reading for so long! Comments like yours make me so happy you’ve no idea. I’m so grateful to have such kind, lovely and amazing readers. <3
Anete says
Very beautiful photos! 🙂

Heidi says
Marianne, I am wondering if you could tell me who makes (where did you get) the grey dress that you have in the top picture of you sitting in the window. I just love it ever time I come to your blog and wonder. Thanks
Marianna says
That is a basic cotton knit by Samsoe Samsoe 🙂 Thank you so much Heidi! x
Haley says
Good morning mariannnan 🙂
Weird question I know but: Is your cardamom really so dark or is it because of a filter? The one I have at home is white-ish :’D also: I know that the flavor is a bit strong.. Never heard of people sprinkling it over their coffee 😀 XX
Marianna says
Oh! 😀 My cardamom is like medium brown hahah! There’s also a bit of cinnamon which is a shade darker. That combo is the best, tastes like Christmas. For my taste it’s not too strong on top of the foam at all! (But not sure if others of do that) 😀 x
Antonia says
Dear Marianna, I love this post. This Zara cashmere is absolutely beautiful.Your blog is so inspiring. Keep on the good work.
Cami says
Siis mitämitä, eikö sitä Stockan Argoshallin joulunäyttelyä enää ole? 😮 Jos ei niin mun joulu meni just pilalle osittain! 🙁
