Hey peeps! Today, as I found myself missing summer, I decided to write a "throwback thursday" kind of post for you, even though it's Sunday already. The pictures in this post were taken in June as we were celebrating my graduation by taking a trip to the French Riviera. Also, I really like posts where bloggers tell a few, somewhat awkward things about themselves. And by doing this myself, I decided to add a little twist in this post you're reading right now. Heippa! Tänään tuli ikävä kesää ja ajattelin toteuttaa tällaisen "throwback"-tyyppisen postauksen muistelemalla meidän kesäkuista matkaamme Ranskan rivieralle. Ja koska olen aina nauttin ...

"Earth laughs in flowers" is a quote by an american poet called Ralph Waldo Emerson (I'm impressed if you've heard about this guy before). Looking at these pictures, I understand exactly what he meant and couldn't agree more. I'm not sure if you still remember my "Lavender fields forever" post I wrote you a couple of weeks ago, or not. Either way, these pictures were snapped the same day when we were drinving from the town of Valensole back to the blue coast, Côte d'azur that is. I think I'll remember these gorgeous sceneries for the rest of my life. It's still baking hot here in Finland, but we luckily managed to get our hands on a fan. And ...

If only I could teleport myself in time back into these forever memorable moments. Fortunately, thermometers in Helsinki have been showing 30 celsius degrees in the sun, and for once we haven't been been freezing in our homes and offices. Here's some outfit photos we shot in Cannes. Voisinpa jotenkin teleporttautua menneisyyteen ja takaisin kuvissa näkyviin hetkiin. Onneksi Helsingissäkin lämpömittarit ovat tänään paukkuneet, eikä ole tarvinnut kotona tai vastaanottohuoneessa ainakaan hytistä. Tässä siis Cannesin helteessä kuvattu päivän asu, olkaapa hyvät. Ruutuhame on Mangon viime kevään mallistoa. The check skirt belongs to Mango's col ...

Well hello! I wanted to share some of these lovely pictures with you. The photos were snapped while we were waiting for our ride in the lobby of our hotel in Nice. Some of you, my dear readers, have asked me about the the specific itinerary of our roadtrip, and that's one thing I'm going to share with you in this post. Our trip started at the biggest city on the French Riviera. After spending three days exploring Nice, we rented a car to drive to Cannes and also stopped by the village of Antibes on our way the city of the famous film festival. While holding our base in Cannes, we paid a day visit to the lovely Saint-Tropez. From Saint-Tropez ...

When in Nice, we visited the flower market (marché aux fleurs) the second day of us staying there. I guess you readers aren't overtaken by the fact that I couldn't resist snapping some pictures. Those piles of flowers were just too gorgeous! Toisen Nizza-päivämme ohjelmaan kuului vierailu paikallisilla kukkamarkkinoilla (marché aux fleurs). Torilla pysähdyimme ihailemaan toinen toistaan värikkäämpiä ruusukimppuja ja kukka-asetelmia, enkä tietystikään voinut vastustaa houkutusta kaivaa kamera laukun pohjalta. Tässä kuvaushetken lopputulos, olkaa hyvä! The flower market is situated on the street called Cours Saleya in the oldest part of N ...

Here's the first part of my Nice photo diary. I simply love walking around with my Canon and shooting all the little details that catch my aesthetic eye. Tässä Nizzan kuvapäiväkirjani ensimmäinen osa. Nautin suunnattomasti kaupungin ihmettelemisestä kamera kainalossa, ja pienet, esteettistä silmää miellyttävät yksityiskohdat on aivan pakko pysähtyä tallentamaan filmille, tottakai. The second day we spent in Nice, we walked through the beautiful, legendary flower market, marché aux fleurs. I've actually thought about writing you a separate post about it! When visiting the city, don't skip walking to the hill situated in the eastern part of ...

In the South of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence area, we found so many beautiful flower fields, these lovely lavender farms among them. If you're looking for one of the largest lavender fields in the Southern France, Valensole (or Plateau de Valensole, to be exact) is your choice. These pictures were snapped there. Autoillessamme eteläisen Alpes-de-Haute-Provencen läpi matkalle osui useita, toinen toistaan nätimpiä kukkaviljelmiä. Valensolen kylän läheisyydessä sijaitseva Plateau de Valensole on eräs Etelä-Ranskan suurimmista laventelipeltoalueista, ja juurikin sieltä on nämä kuvat napsittu. These gorgeous lavender flowers are mainly grown fo ...
