DAY 1 - details Shoes Minna Parikka, bought in 2018 new. . . #wearmywardrobe #minnaparikka #bunnyshoes #winterboots #backshoes #ankleboots #lookdujour #minimaliststyle #monochromestyle #marimekko #elegant style #designfromfinland #fashionfromfinland

OK, let's do this: No new clothes in a year! I will create a new look from my wardrobe each day for 365 days and share it here. On each picture l will mark how long l've worn the item and where l got it. So, absolutely no clothes or accessories shopping, no sales or fleamarket hunting. WHAT'S THE POINT? Less consumption, more creativity. Explore whether l can create interesting, up-to-date looks with pieces that are years, even decades old and have fun in the process. Appreciate, use and care for the clothes l already own (many). EXCEPTIONS : - Absolute necessity: If an only item of it's kind breaks, for example my only pair of winter boots or the last pair of tights, l can get a new one - Gifts (l don't remember when l last received clothes as gifts anyway) - Glasses -If l want something really bad, l make it myself either by upscaling old clothes or making an item using materials l already own.

Glimpses of Gold. My favourite pieces of jewellery are inherited. Also... I've started to KonMari my closet. I've had a tempting idea: not to buy any clothes this year and to work with what l've already got... Could l do it, would it be interesting? . . #lookdujour #minimaliststyle #minimalstyle #konmari #wardrobe #lettinggo #gold #jewellery #cameering #turtleneck #knitwear #elegantstyle #sustainablefashion #secondhand #vintagestyle

If it promises to cover up tattoos, there might be a chance that it will work on my dark circles 😜 The phrase "sleeps like a baby" seems to apply to my offspring only during day time... . . . #joeblasco #dermaceal #coveruptattoo #makeup #skincare #undereyetreatment #undereyeconcealer #beauty #beautyfavourites #motherhood #insomnia #lifewithababy #baby #mybaby #newborn #sleeplessnights @joe_blasco_suomi

It seems to me that Yoga, and especially the way the practice is portrayed and marketed in social media, has become more and more complex. Yoga poses look like advanced acrobatics and every teacher seems to have their own branded yoga style, which combines wisdom and rituals from at least three different traditions. . I do not judge either of these approaches to the practice, as there is as many yogas as there are practicioners and if the physical and mental benefits of yoga are explored and shared, that's great! . To me yoga is not about aiming for the perfect split or the need to reinvent the practice. It's about feeling the body, the tension, the discomfort, the joy of movement and gentle stretch, the muscles warming up in Yang or the whole body falling into deep stillness in Yin. . A simple pose is enough. Each time the same pose offers different insights, it naturally takes us forward, without striving. To me, in this world where everything needs to constantly be improved, developed, perfected and repackaged, yoga can be a place of rest from it all. This might make me a poor businessperson and never able to do that split, but l prefer it this way 😊 . What about you? What is your practice? . #yoga #yogagirl #yogateacher #yogafeature #yinyoga #thoughtsonyoga #yogaphilosophy #yogastyles #futureofyoga #myyoga #butterflypose #wellness #spirituality #jooga #yogabusiness

Two lattes, please 😉 I've surprized myself concerning breastfeeding in public, by feeling completely good about it. . #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedwithoutfear #breastfeedinginpublic #motherhood #cafe #itsnatural #lumidesign #lumibag #soniarykiel #kaikoclothing #petitbateau

Growing an impressive double chin and growing out of clothes sizes so quickly... This rats and octopusses dress was one of the first clothes l bought for the little one. She almost disappeared in it when we came home from the hospital, now it's starting to be tight. Sorry for the baby-spamming by the way, l've become one of Those People 😆 . Thank you @hyppelipomppis for the handknitted socks. . #aarrekids #finnishkidsfashion #sustainableclothing #ecokids #petitbateau #lookdujour #baby #babygirl #babyclothes #winterbaby #organiccotton #chubbybaby #finnishdesign #mygirl

My blog 3Rooms+Kitchen is 8 years today! Eight years ago l was unpacking in my first own Brussels apartment (a rental, but first one where l lived alone). Since then life has taken me from interesting jobs in fashion and luxury to management in the insurance business to being my own boss as a yoga teacher. From Brussels to Dublin and back, to rural North Karelia of my native Finland. I got married, l went through a difficult divorce and l had a baby. I enjoyed luxury and learned to live on a minimum budget. I traveled to many inspiring places. I moved from beautiful city lofts and presticious town houses to a creative community to a hundred year old train station in the middle of nowhere to a basic student apartment back in the city where l studied. I struggled to find balance between my passions, sometimes feeling guilty about my love for design and clothes as a form of expression while following a yogic path. . Looking back, l do miss the buzz of the city. At times l miss the security that a salary brings, l miss the friends l made along the way. But as l'm writing this, l have my 5 week old daughter sleeping against my chest and l know that many news adventures are still to come. I will still re-invent myself, travel, work and live a life that reflects who l am. . I will worry less what others think, and share Everything that l enjoy; if it's a new pair of shoes and a liquirice macaron or a meditation by the lake: Let's EMBRACE WHAT SPARKS JOY IN US , while trying to be conscious about the environment and fellow humans. I promise to bring the blog back to life this year! . Picture is a throwback from Brussels, and these 2nd hand Burberry trousers have once again become accurate 😊

Exactly 5 weeks after giving birth to my daughter l was surprised to be able to close the button of my favourite pre-pregnancy jeans. I know everyone's body is different and l was expecting it to be very hard to fit back into my old clothes, especially with all the Christmas food and sweets right after the delivery. Perhaps the lack of sleep and breastfeeding have contributed to the weight loss, who knows. It hasn't been the excercise for sure, as l've mostly been in bed and done a couple of sun salutations every now and then. I am amazed by the female body's ability to adapt and recover, to nurture new life. And we should embrace ourselves, even with the kilos, the loose skin and the scars. . #postpregnancy #motherhood #bluejeans #whitetshirt #minimaliststyle #minimalstyle #frenchstyle #apc #apcruemadameparis #levis #basics #wardrobestaples #kalevalakoru #silver #jewellery #parisstyle #scandinavianstyle

When l finally get to enjoy my morning coffee at 11:30, accompanied by all these inspiring, entrepreneurial women! I'll enjoy this 5 or 15 minutes before the Boss loses her soother or has some other crisis situation that calls my attention. . #breakfast #morningcoffee #women #entrepreneurship #inthecompanyofwomen #books #goodreads #motherhood #maternityleave #reading #metime

My aim for 2019 is to build a minimalist capsule wardrobe. Instead of buying new items l'll try to let go of all those pieces that seemed like a good idea at the time but never got to be worn, items that are beyond repair, way too small or way too big or just don't mean anything to me. . Instead l'll try to downsize my closet to hold those elegant and high quality items that l hold dear year after year and if necessary, buy one piece to replace five that l can give away, sell or recycle. Most of my clothes are years, even decades old and l still wear them. . This will be a journey to an even more sustainable, clutter-free wardrobe that looks like Me. . One of the staples l love is a classic Camel Coat. . #wardrobe #sustainablefashion #personalstyle #lookdujour #parisianchic #frenchstyle #elegantstyle #classicstyle #parisstreetstyle #acnestudios #camelcoat #capsulewardrobe #wintercoat #beige #decluttering #classiccoat
