I'm back! :)
Wow! Here again - finally! Janssi & Minssi has been a reality for a half a year already and I've truly felt the guilt on me for not been writing after the opening of the store! Even though I totally anticipated that running my own business takes time, I did not expect to stop writing altogether. I'm so sorry you guys!
Since my own lifestyle has changed quite a bit due to Janssi & Minssi, I think it's better to alter this blog accordingly. Therefore, from now on, I will concentrate on posting pictures that inspire me instead of writing too much. The writing part causes some extra stress (I'm not really the Shakespeare type), so I promise to put extra effort into snapping away here and there and everywhere! :)
Before posting pictures from Copenhagen Fashion Week, I'll treat you with some eye candy... Serenity Cupcakes, that is, of course! :D

Introducing Janssi & Minssi
Last Thursday was a big day. My baby, lifestyle store Janssi & Minssi, finally opened its doors on Eerikinkatu 1, Helsinki! It has taken 1,5 years in the making and to come to this point. I'm thrilled, yet anxious about how things will turn out... I'm really excited about all the products I've picked out for the store, and hopefully so are you! :)
Australian brand Apple&Bee has the cutest selection of cosmetic bags and make-up purses!
I have completely fallen in love with becksöndergaard's bags and scarves!
I don't think anyone can resist Ib Laursen's interior products,
especially these bowls in pastel colours!
The matt black lamp would definitely be perfect in our kitchen... :)
Stop by the store to say hi and enjoy a cup of espresso - it's on me! ;)

A cupcake? Yes, please!
I was going to start this post by writing about Copenhagen Fashion Week and what's up with next autumn/winter collections, but a very peculiar phenomenon caught my attention while visiting the city of Copenhagen. Cupcakes have taken Copenhagen by storm!
More and more bakeries specializing in cupcakes have open their doors and the variety of flavors is incredible. I was so intrigued by this whole cupcake thing that I just had to check out few places... First one was Serenity Cupcakes. This incredibly cosy and cute shop opened last August and is ready to fulfill your sugar needs with a long list of both traditional and untraditional flavors. I got to taste quite a few of them, but my favorite, Pumpkin Paradise rose above the others! YUMMY!!
The second place I visited was Agnes Cupcakes, which surely had some really pretty cupcakes, but did not appeal to me as much due to an interior resembling a fast food joint. For me it's all about the spirit of the shop! ;)
Then, lastly, I have to mention Cupcakes by Kronborg, which is owned by my very dear friend. She started out the business as a hobby and does the baking at home. I was so lucky to taste her creations and give my own opinion about the flavors of both cakes and toppings. While she's running her cupcake business, she is also studying for Master's Degree AND is a mom for a 1,5 year old! I'm so proud of her! <3

It's fair time!
It's about time to start the blogging year of 2012. First of all, happy new year to everyone! :)
Lots of progress have happened with my project. One of the biggest areas must have been the visual design, which now has been completed! Next week I will get the keys to the store, which means that there's only few weeks left before Janssi & Minssi will be open for public!
Last week I visited Formex, the biggest interior design fair in Nordic Countries. This time I placed an order, which means that lots of super cute and fabulous interior products will arrive to my store this spring! Unfortunately the actual process of choosing just the right products was somewhat an agony due to the fact that I had a horrible cold and some fever. Gladly I had my sister with me making the decisions; without her I probably would have picked out something very random... :D
Just to give you some treats while waiting for the store to be open, here's few inspirational pictures from the fair...
