Dreaming of summer

Today it's been FREEZING! -20 degrees (or -4 if you use Fahrenheit).  I'm not a winter person, so I am dreaming of summer: sun, warmth and flip flops.  

Last chance!

If you already haven't entered Whispers of Hope giveaway, do it ASAP, because it ends tomorrow! My labrador retriever thinks it's weird that you haven't done it already.

When I felt like a princess

There have been 3 days in my life when I have felt like a princess. 

The first princess day (age 17)

In Finnish high schools we celebrate Wanhojenpäivä (Read more HERE). During that day the new seniors dance old-fashioned dances, like Polonaise and Viennese Waltz. The tradition is to wear old-fashioned ball gowns, but nowadays dresses are more like prom/evening dresses. My friend wrote about this change in her blog. It's in Finnish but the main things are the pics :)

The second princess day (age 18)

I graduated from high school 2007. I had bought my dress from Singapore and it was white because (I know this sounds funny) Princess Madeleine's graduation dress was white. Let me explain: When I was a little girl I saw a picture of Sweden's Princess Madeleine in her graduation dress and I decided that when I graduate I want a white dress too, because the graduation cap looks good with a white dress. :)

The third princess day AKA the biggest day of my life (age 21, but i turned 22 next month)
