Golden Globes winner - best dressed

Jennifer Aniston, always classy and so well put together, gets my vote.  My personal style is more adventurous, but I do love Jennifer's simple and elegant style.  She really knows what suits her!  The Huffington Post lists Jennifer alongside Mariah Carey as one of the Golden Globes worst dressed.  I couldn't agree less!  The cut of the dress is fabulous, and Jennifer manages to look both groomed and casual at the same time.  Love it!

True Blood - hottest hottt

Call me weird if you will - I am so into all things Southern US.  The vibe, the people, the steamy bubbling Mississippi river, the mystique, the humidity, the eerie at time dark history.  HBO's True Blood brings all of this to life in such a cool way, I almost get shivers down my spine when I watch these opening credits.
Perfect escapism, soo intriguing and hot.

Dream of shopping on net-a-porter.com?

I know I do!  Pretty much everything on the site is out of my current price range.  But there's a tiny twinkle of hope - in celebration of the site's 1millionth order, one lucky lady (or gentleman of course) will win a 25,000 GBP shopping spree on the site.  I've entered, and although it'll diminish my chances, you should too.  Good luck!
I'm off to enjoy my friday night now, first with a lovely bottle of white vino at home, followed by blinis with roe and more vino.  One new thing I've learned to love about Helsinki - Blini Viikot take place every year during January and February in numerous restaurants across the city, and I'm loving it!

Some gym inspiration...

Miranda Kerr, Australian Victoria's Secret model and girlfriend of Orlando Bloom, recently posed naked for men's magazine GQ.  Is it possible for any girl to look any more perfect than she does in these shots?  Definite gym inspiration for me... Baby, when you tell me I am the most beautiful girl in the world, I know you are lying.
Speaking of the gym, Forever Töölö was fabulous!  The gym is very calm, tidy, and frequented by lots of older people which I like.  The overall feel is kind of Far Eastern, very zen. :) My personal trainer seemed really nice and knew his stuff.  We're meeting again next week for a session on nutrition therapy.

Gym bunny!

Guess what everyone, today is the first day of my brand new fitness regime!  I am off to the gym now for the first time in about a year to meet with a personal trainer... I need to get fit in time for my wedding at the end of August!  And let me tell you, there's lots of work to be done!  I'm off to the Forever Töölö gym, and will keep posting about my progress.  Wish me luck as I will need it, I hate exercise and every single gym routine I've started so far has failed miserably!  This time I need to succeed, and get fit for our big day and the wonderful honeymoon we're planning!
