Always time for another last minute / GIVEAWAY

What better way to kick off this fabulous month of September than with a little giveaway. I feel like it's long overdue and besides the fact that I've been a pretty useless blogger for the past few months, there's no denying that you guys are still the most awesome bunch of people I could ever hope for! So I decided to whip up a these little bits a bobs that I think you might enjoy. So these delicious pastel watches and my illustrated mugs are now looking for a new home. Just scroll down for all the lovely details. And as some of you may already know I am writing this post from the beautiful city of Reykjavik, it's my third week here in Iceland, and my second week in the Academy of Arts, so busy would be an understatement. I know you're all eagerly waiting for me post something Icelandic, but you're just going to have to wait a teeny bit longer.It got so hectic right before I left and I still need to post my little good-byes to my sweet hometown. However I am constantly updating my Facebook page, so if you're as impatient as I think you are, than just go like and follow. But in the meanwhile I hope you enjoy the pictures and make sure to take part of the giveaway! :)

Sügis on jälle ukse ette veerenud ja ei ole vist olemas muhedamat aega välja kuulutamaks üks väike kingiloos. Blogijana olen ma küll viimastel kuudel mõõdukalt kasutu olnud, aga see ei muuda fakti, et teie, mu armsad lugejad, olete ühed ütlemata pehmed kiisud. Ja nagu pehmetele kiisudele kohane - üks suur litsuv pai peanupukesele ja tagasihoidlik peotäis toredaid vidinaid. Niisiis ootavadki need pastelsed käekellad ja minu illustreeritud tassikesed omale armsaid uusi omanikke. Kõik vajalik info edukaks adopteerimiseks on kirjas postituse all. Ja nagu enamus teist juba teavad, siis kirjutan seda sissekannet imeilusast Reykjavikist. Tiksumas on juba kolmas nädal siin, millest kaks olen veetnud Islandi Kunstiakadeemia koridorides ekseldes. Tööd on kuhjaga ja ei ole just kõige kergem.Kohukest igatsen kaa... Tean-tean, et enamus teist ootavad õhinaga islandi postitusi, mina ise kaasa arvatud, aga tuleb veel õige pisut kannatada. Enne minekut läks mul nii kiireks, et jäi avaldamata minu väikesed hüvastijätud kõige musimate Tartu nurgakestega. Sellegipoolest võib alati blogi facebooki lehte piilumas käia, üritan sinna ikka usinasti igasugu killukesi üles riputada. Vot, aga lasengi teid nüüd pilte uudistama, võtke kindlasti loosimisest osa ja olge ikka tublid hiirekesed :)

Sand near the water's edge.

Just a quick little outfit post for you guys. I'm going to keep it short this time and just let you enjoy the photographs. I have a million little errands to run since I'm flying on Saturday. And I'm still missing a suitcase, warm boots and some other things that are fairly important. Hmm, I'm sensing it's going to be a hectic week. Oh joy! I'm also planning on updating my little closet shop thingy today and add some capes and sweaters and some other autumny stuff, so keep your eyes out for that. But until then I hope you like the pictures and be sure to tell me what you think :)

Üks kiire liivakarva postitus siia toredasse esmaspäeva. Kaua ei lobise ja juba lasengi teid pilte uudistama. Mind ootab, aga tuhat ja üks väikest asjaajamist, sest juba laupäeval lendan-lendan-lendan. Ei ole mul kohvrit, ega saapaid ega muid eluks vajalikke tarbeid. Julgen oletada, et tuleb üks närviline nädal. Milline rõõm! Õhtupoole võib ka poekesele pilgu peale visata, sest mingi hetk peaks sinna paar keepi, pusa ja muud sügist kraami tekkima. Seniks, aga olge ikka tublid hiirekesed! :)

Blueberry nights & summer ends.

There are some days when I wake up feeling like a teenager again along with an uncontrollable need to fu.. mess up my hair. And because of it, believe me, it would probably take hours to go over the complete history of my hair disasters. But now being older and wiser, and knowing what lengths I have to go trough to get my little head looking nice and icy blonde, I've learned how to control these urges, well.. kind of. But to remedy the situation I ordered these nifty little hair coloring crayons from eBay. At first I thought that I had been sent regular pastel for drawing, cause it says nowhere on the package that they're for your hair, but to be honest I probably wouldn't have minded either way, since the packaging is just darling and I actually enjoy drawing with pastels. But I tried them out and they work like magic! You just wet your hair, go all crayon crazy on them, let it air dry and then apply heat - either straighten or curl them, evidently that will seal in the color. And you're done! The fun part is that the color is really nice and vibrant, it only lasts up to 2 washes and I still have 47 colors to try out. Yay! But I'm going to let you enjoy the pictures now, hope you like them and be sure to tell me what you think :)

Vahel juhtub nii, et ärkan üles ja avastan, et teine noorus on peale tulnud, ühes kummalise vajadusega oma juuksed põhjalikult.. hm metsa (*väldin siin osavalt roppusi) keerata. Tänu sellele on mul ka üksjagu naljakaid (tegelikult väga kurbi) juukseseikasid selja taga. Näiteks nagu kunagi, kui olin eriti tuus 7. klassi junsu ja otsutasin Anne turul mingi 15 kroonise punase juuksevärvi kasuks. Tulemus oli megafashion3000 ja mu ema oli kergelt öeldes šokeeritud. Aga olles nüüd tiba vanem ja targem, ning teades, millist kurja vaeva peab nägema, et oma peanupuke ilusaks jääblondiks saada, siis olen õppinud neid teismelisehooge kontrolli all hoidma.. peaaegu. Õnneks leidub aga eBayst igasugustele lollustele ravi, seega tellisingi endale juuksekriidid. Esimese hooga vaatasin, et hiinlased tegid mulle üks nali ja on hoopis tavalised joonistuspastellid posti pistnud, sest nii palju kui ma üldse midagi paki pealt suutsin välja lugeda, siis juustest seal küll nüüd juttu ei olnud. Haha, aga kui väga aus olla, siis poleks ma üldse pahandanud, sest nii ilusas pakendis ja nii suure värvivalikuga pastelle on Eestist keeruline leida. Ja veel oi-oi kui odavalt! Igaljuhul kuna mulle meeldib ilmselgelt metsikult elada, siis otsustasin siiski neid oma juuste pealt testida ja võta näpust - toimivad! Ja kui hästi veel! Teed juuksed märjaks, oled kriitidega natuke loominguline, lased oma kunstiteosel õhu käes kuivada ning lõpetuseks kasutad kuumust (sirgendad/koolutad), mis kinnitab värvi ja ongi valmis! Kõige muhedam on aga see, et värv kestab vaid üks-kaks pesu ja mul on veel tervelt 47 erinevat tooni, millega lustida! Lasengi teid nüüd pilte uudistama. Loodan, et meeldivad ja nagu ikka - olge tublid-vublid hiirelapsed :)
