Happy thoughts
by Sofia - in Random
Oh May! How well you have been treating us Finns! It has been such a warm summery month. Everyone is in a fabulous mood and it´s such a joy to get to use all the pretty skirts & dresses for the girls at pre-school and school! So many things to be happy and grateful about ( non superficial ones too).
It is always such a pleasure and a privilege ( I know) to be able to travel a lot. I had the most amazing holiday with my girlfriends in the South of Spain. It was mostly just us relaxing on the terrace laughing and giggling at our silly stories or reading our books but also about some sports and some amazing foods. Grilled sole, fresh salads, sweet berries & melon for breakfast, yummy paella and so on. We loved it! We even squeezed in some shopping ( are you surprised?). I shared the things I found for the girls on Instagram ( and some holiday videos & photos too). That trip was definitely a happy thought, even though I tripped on a loose tile and twisted my ankle quite badly which was the end of any morning runs for me. But it definitely did not stop me from enjoying my time with a group of fabulous girls I´m so happy to have as friends.
One of my happy thoughts at this time of the year are the flowers. All my favourites available all in abundance like lily of the valley, sweet peas and pretty peonies. Our home always has this wonderful scent in May and early June from all the fragrant beauties in different rooms. What is there not to love?!

Ay Caramba
by Sofia - in Random
So I´m off to a little vacay with my girlfriends. Five ladies, no kids, a long weekend in the South Sunny Coast of Spain. My espadrilles, swimsuits and sun hats are packed. My mouth is watering for some fresh gambas and yes I can hear the first bottle of cava pop open and us girls just sliding in to relaxation mode. I´m not taking my computer with me so there will be no post early next week.
Have the best weekend! And enjoy the wedding fever if you are a royalist. We will be watching!

My Style DNA
by Sofia - in Random
As promised my answers to the questions from the Classic Style book…
Always in your fridge
Parmesan cheese, milk or oat milk, Heinz ketchup, dijon mustard, Bonne Maman jam ( the jar makes me happy) and Hellman´s mayonnaise, veggies
Favourite Restaurant and dish you order on the menu
Depends on the country. In Helsinki Strindberg and the Salmon with a poached egg, in New York maybe Cipriani´s and their sublime pasta pesto, in Paris I love Ralph´s but my best memories and favourite dish are still from L´avenue and their pasta arrabbiata ( I can´t count the times I ate it). I love a great pasta any time. And Club 55 in Saint Tropez with great friends, steak tartar, pommes frites, crispy green salad and a cold rosé.
Quick description of your overall look
Well ironed button down shirt, high waisted pants, loafers or white tennis shoes
Can´t cook without
Great olive oil and salt
What you bring home in your suitcase when travelling abroad
