Girls island style
by Sofia - in Random
Yesterday I shared my island style pieces and today I thought you might want to see what the girls use on the island. Our closets look very similar when it comes to colour. Navy blue & white with plenty of stripes.
The classic raincoat in yellow for both of the girls this year.
Wellies are in use almost every day.
Our favourite t-shirts. Buy at least one size up for the perfect slim but not too tight fit.
Shorts to wear with t-shirts or the marinier jumpers. For some reason the girls hate fancier shorts worn with stockings or knee highs but these casual sporty shorts they love. We have had a pair from Ralph Lauren every year and love the fit.

My island style
by Sofia - in Random
Vaikka rakastankin naisellisia hameita, Chanel henkisiä jakkuja ja silkkisiä paitoja niin saareen ( ja usein kaupunkiinkin) pukeudun rennon sporttisesti. Tässä vähän tämän kesän suosikeja…
I love a very feminine style but I also love a casual and sporty look. I´m very much a stripy shirt and ponytail kind of a girl. So when I found this great knit I knew it would be my number one island style piece. We are more than casual on the island… the girls barely get changed from their pj´s before noon but I do love a comfortable and good looking piece of clothing even if it´s not very fancy.
Here are my current favourites for the island.
This chunky Hunky Dory Knit became an instant favourite the second I saw it ( in Nougat). It´s thick cotton and a lovely off white & navy colour combo. This slouchy style looks good with everything from jeans to flowy long skirts so it´s super versatile too.
White Superga´s are a favourite year after year.
I love my matching raincoat with the girls. It´s the Petit Bateau classic and has a soft milleraies cotton jersey lining. I roll the sleeves so the lining shows a little and like it just like that.

Happy thoughts
by Sofia - in Random
Perjantain aikainen aamuvene saarta kohti. Kaupasta haetut lämpimät karjalanpiirakat aamupalaksi tyynellä merellä nautittuna aamuauringon lämmittäessä. Siinäpä vasta onnen aihe. /We left to the island early on Friday morning. We packed the car the night before and were in the grocery shop by 7.30 am and had warm from the oven Karelian pies on the boat for breakfast. There is a happy thought I think can hardly be topped. In paradise before 10 am.
Kaunis kesäinen sää jota seurasi mitä kaunein vaaleanpunainen auringonlasku. Mitä kaunein onnen aihe. /The weather was lovely and we saw some pink sunset skies at night. Absolutely a happy thought.
Pienet sorsanpoikaset jotka harjoittelivat uimista ja sukeltamista saaren rannoilla ja kipittelivät välillä pitkin rantakallioita. Miten suloisia. Ehdottomasti onnen aihe. /Little wild ducks had just been born and we saw the families with their babies swimming around all the time. Squeals, sighs, squeals from little girls. Baby animals are truly a happy thought, they are so cute!
