"From now on, our troubles will be miles away".

It is Christmas Day, a holiday which I appreciate mostly for aesthetic reasons, as I grew up in a culture of communistic society and there are no memories of Santa Claus visiting home, candlelight and spruce smell on a Christmas Eve. New Year has always been the Day for me, but during 10 years spent in Finland Christmas has started to mean peace and warmth to me as well.

I like Christmas music, it is always very atmospheric. My favourite is "Have a Happy Little Christmas" sang by Frank Sinatra. Melody, lyrics - they are perfectly touching and sweet.



This Xmas is special, because it is a very first Xmas for my little Leo.

He has gotten lovely gifts. So have I. Love my new diamond pendant by Sandberg. Twinkly star on my neck. It was also to memorize our engagement anniversary with my husband. 1 year ago we got engaged on top of the Tokyo tower, on the height of 250 meters watching views like these.

So much for Xmas, now New Year on its way and I have January Elle in my hands already now.
I love the comeback of florals in a digital form and combined with monochrome.

And the new Lady Dior with a touch of purple / burgundy, so ME, awwww...

So, need to start thinking spring already, at least the weather is not wintery at all.

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight..." 

la-la-la......
