Estonian Independence Day Best Dressed

A few days have passed since Estonia celebrated Independence Day on the 24th February. It is a big day for Estonians. All day there are different programs on television and people celebrating, while Estonian celebrities attend the Presidential Ball. This last one is very exciting for me of course, because I like to see what they wear.

I am going to start with my favourite, Mai Palling. This is an absolutely beautiful dress by Estonian fashion designer Riina Põldroos from Embassy of Fashion. Embassy of Fashion Atelier is a brand created by three renowned and award-winning Estonian fashion designers. Aldo Järvsoo, Riina Põldroos and Ketlin Bachmann. This romantic red dress was also presented in Tallinn Fashion Week, Fall 2013.

Another dress by Riina Põldroos that caught my eye was worn by Kairi Sester. This light yellow colour with red flower flame pattern is lovely and it makes her look so youthful.

Another very talented fashion designer from Embassy of Fashion Aldo Järvsoo designed the dress Tiina Tauraite is wearing. I like this red colour, silky top and fluffy bottom. Very feminine.

I also liked Estonian singer Hendrik Sal-Saller and his wife Berit. Her dress is made by Ketlin Bachmann from Embassy of Fashion. I love this blue colur and lace on the arms.

I love Tiina Talumees and all of her collections. This year Maris Jesse was wearing this cute blue flower pattern dress. Simple design, but goes well with Estonian colours.

Sandra Hommuk is also wearing one of Tiina Talumees dresses. I absolutely love it - such a modest look but at the same time, something different to see on the Estonian 'red carpet'

Ülle Lichtfeldt looks stunning in her black long sleeved dress. It is just perfect for this kind of occasion. Elegant, I might even say very royal.

This strong pink dress is designed by Ülle Suurhans from Pohjanheimo. Urve Palo wore this dress on the same occasion in 2008.

Estonian poet Kristiina Ehin had her dress made of 90 year old fishnet. She said that when saw these old fishnets in Käsmu Meremuuseum (Käsmu Maritime museum), she already had pictured the dress in her mind. This dress was put together from reused materials in Salong Manna Couture by Marika Normet.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path. You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works. I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair. Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
