Helsinki the way I like it

Finally, in the end of this week, it happened. Something that I've been waiting for 1,5 years. It snowed! 40cm of snow covered the streets all around the city. And I loved it!

Huge piles of snow everywhere
L, I've been telling you so many times that you should come visit Finland in the winter - maybe we could go see Santa together ;) And ski!!

Snowy streets
Last winter it didn't snow properly before February and in January I was already in Dublin. Missed the whole thing. It's so nice to have all the four seasons and after seeing the Irish climate I really started to appreciate the Finnish weather a lot more :D

Department store Stockmann
So today I had a nice, long walk in the city, just enjoying the white pretty view that I had been missing for so long. With all the christmas decorations it was just beautiful everywhere.


Of course I had to pop into a few stores during the walk, and one Zara bag really caught my eye.. But I managed to keep a tight hold of my wallet ;)

Esplanadi park
By the time that I got to Esplanadi park from my house, it was already dark outside, but I didn't mind :) It's just impossible to be on a bad mood with all the lights and snow!
