Happy Easter

by Sofia   -   in Random

On this Good Friday the city is quiet. The sun is shining, the sky is perfectly light blue. The prettiest shade, just like the softest  cashmere sweater my father had, that I used to borrow from him in high school. Only the seagulls have started their yearly laughter, echoing through the old building and courtyards. One morning, just a few days ago, we sat by the table having breakfast with the dining room windows wide open to let the fresh Spring air in. I told my daughter it was one of my favourite sounds in the world. She looked at me and told me that in truth by July I will lie on the cliffs on the island and tell the seagulls to quiet down as they are disturbing my daydreaming. She is right. But for me it is the sound of the summer´s imminent arrival. Not long now.

Happy weekend!

My computer broke ( again… it’s so old) and it’s gone to be repaired ( hopefully).  I’m really not good at blogging from my phone so I just came by to wish you a lovely weekend! Come follow me on Instagram and I hope I get my laptop back asap.

Have a lovely weekend!

Sunday best

Who else has been in leggings more often than not lately? Yours truly at least. I decided that if my roots are now growing out I might at least try to spice up my leggings and cashmere sweater outfits with a silk scarf tied in my hair. I have plenty of pretty scarfs to make me feel better! Also my lovely head bands from Gauhar Helsinki are now making me feel like I look presentable when I´m on some FaceTime calls with friends. You know you look like you made an effort even if the effort was to put something on your head. I know it´s perhaps frivolous but we need some fun and something girly to make ourselves feel better. I don´t know if you do, but I and my girls like it. They actually asked if we could all get dressed up for Friday night dinners and now we do. They even borrowed my high heels ( which I usually don´t let them do) and it was such an uplifting moment after a week in comfy casual.
