TOP 3 MOVIES TO WATCH WHEN YOU'RE DREAMING OF A VACAY

2018-10-17T19:43:00.000+03:00

1. The talented Mr. Ripley - the movie that will make you dream away to Greece and Italy...
I've watched this movie many times, and I still find it so interesting. It is a psychological
thriller, and really intriguing. I love it. And the surroundings in it, so dreamy & beautiful!

2. The Tourist - the movie that will make you crave Venice AND get a major girl
crush on Angelina Jolie (if you didn't already have one) I mean, how out-of-this-world
beautiful isn't she? And I feel she is extra beautiful in this movie.

3. The Holiday - the movie that will make you dream of travelling to the English countryside,
and falling in love with the charmingly handsome Jude Law... Ah! This movie is one of my
all-time-faves and I watch it every year in December. And every year I swear that the next
year I will book a trip to England, to roadtrip through the countryside... Maybe next year!

What's YOUR top 3 movies to watch when you're dreaming of a vacay?

STREETSTYLE: KENDALL JENNER

2018-10-13T11:44:00.000+03:00

Kendall is an inspiration in many ways. She's doing her own thing despite being a part
of a big family who seems to stick very much together, doing the same kind of things.
Not Kendall, she wanted to be a model and she wanted to be more independent - so
she wen't away and became those things. Cheers to you Kendall.

She's also a style inspiration. Her personal style has always been great. Well,
I'm sure she's got a stylist keeping her on top of things. But still, Kendall's
own personal style is there, and I really like it.

Above you can see some of my fave looks on her in the recent years. She's all
about denim jeans, crop tops, belts, sunnies and the overall "cool vibe".

TRAVELLING TO CRETE: FALASSARNA BEACH

2018-10-12T11:03:00.000+03:00

Greece is a magnificent country with a ton of beautiful islands. Or so

I've heard, I've actually just been to one of those islands: Crete.

We visited Crete this Fall, just a couple of weeks ago actually, to celebrate my boyfriends mom

and stepdad who both turned 60 this year (congrats to them!). We were quite a big crew who went

on the trip; 10 adults and 4 kids. Phew! To survive a week on Crete without getting too pissed at each

other etc. we decided to stay at a hotel, which turned out to be a pretty great move.

Okay okay, enough with the smalltalk! Let's go to the topic of this blogpost: Falassarna beach!

The thing is, one day we rented a car (or 4 of us adults did) and drove out to what turned out

to be such a beautiful place: Falassarna beach. We even went back there two days later.

Falassarna beach had the clearest, most turquoise waters I've ever seen (hey the above image is

edited af to suit my IG feed...). We just couldn't get enough of swimming or playing beach-tennis

in the water (btw, the perfect activity when you want to work out while getting tan!).

I was however sick (the flu, fever - you know the drill), so I was pretty stoked about the beach
having some pretty comfortable, and stylish looking (great for good pictures hey!) sunbeds.
They were perfect for taking breaks from the water activities, to lay on and read a book or two.

I actually read one of my absolute favorites books this year on a sunbed in Falassarna. The book
is called "You are a badass" and is written by an author named Jen Sincero - I truly urge you to
read it. It's awesome! So inspiring and a real kick-in-the-butt self-help book.

One "funny" thing about Falassarna beach is that it seemed to be pretty popular among nudists

(yeah I saw some weeners I could've lived on without seeing...). But the beach is really huge
and long, so you can choose the area that is best suited for you!

- Go to the left side of the beach if you want to be "where
everyone is", among lots of sunbeds, kids, you name it.
- Go to the middle area of the beach if you want some more calm,
less kids, but still a great sandy beach with lots of sunbeds.
- Go to the right side of the beach if you want lots of privacy, get
naked among nudists and swim at a rockier area of the beach
(pictured in the first image of this blogpost).

The beach has a beautiful mountain backdrop, and when you drive down from the mountains
to the beach, you'll see some pretty huge olive tree plantations. Unfortunately I do not have a good
picture of the view from the mountains down to Falassarna beach, nor of the olive trees - but hey it's
better experienced live (everything is). By mentioning the fact that there are olive tree plantations,
I think it's pretty obvious that Falassarna beach is kind of a great place to buy some olive oil at!

So, that was that about Falassarna beach. I only have one more thing to
say about it: go there if you ever find yourself on Crete and want to go
to a beautiful beach! You won't regret it, I promise.

STYLE INSPO: SKIRTS FOR FALL SEASON

2018-10-11T10:37:00.000+03:00

Now when Fall season is here, ar the last skirt-wearing days of 2018 counted? I say hell no! Just
pair your mini-skirt with something warm, like your absolute warmest and coziest sweater, over-knee
boots or stockings. Really cold? Pair your mini-skirt with all of the mentioned. Above I've collected
some inspo, and below you can see some of my skirt-faves in store as we speak.

YOU ARE FOLLOWING ME ON IG, RIGHT..?

2018-10-10T09:35:00.000+03:00

I've been on Instagram since it all started. Seriously, I remember getting an email with some kind of invite
to it (?) in the beginning of 2011. It launched in the end of 2010, so I wasn't on it at the very start, but almost.
I remember how cool I thought it was, to post pictures and having people all around the world like them...
Having hashtags and all of that! The downside was that basically no one I knew was one it when I started
my IG-account, so it was kind of boring there in the beginning, not knowing who to follow.

It took off however, and well, now basically everyone is on Instagram! And I'm still an Instagram addict.
True story. So please guys, do follow my Instagram account @hananaa. I post daily and I also post a bunch of
stories, you can see my old travel-stories in the highlights on my profile. See you on Instagram, right..?

TRAVELLING TO LAKE COMO

2018-10-04T22:19:00.000+03:00

This Summer we travelled to Lake Como, in Italy (as I've previously mentioned).
Lake Como is said to be the most beautiful lake in the world, and I must say I agree.

As we were on a 9 day roadtrip through 4 countries, we only had two nights to spend at the lake.
To get the most out of those two nights, we decided to spend the first night up at a small family hotel
in the mountains surrounding Lake Como, and the second (also at a small family hotel) down by the lake.

The views from the hotel were amazing. And it was so
peaceful and calm, I could've stayed there forever...

The second night, at the hotel down by the lake, we also had an amazing view! There was a
small beach nearby (like TINY, it was really packed with people, even dogs...) where we spent
a couple of hours in the afternoon. It was OK, but I wouldn't recommend coming to Lake Como for
a beach holiday. The beaches there are just a few, and they're really uncomfortable with basically just
rocks and no sand. Plus, as I said, TINY and packed with both people and dogs.

Conclusion: visiting Lake Como for two days was really great, but I would definitely stay longer the
next time... There's so much to explore! Cozy little towns and villages all around the lake, amazing
restaurants, hikes to take in the mountains, boat-rides, ah... And hey, fun fact, did you know that
George Clooney has a villa at Lake Como? So bummed that I didn't see him... Oh well, next time!

VACAY VIBES

2018-10-02T19:05:00.000+03:00

If there's something I wish I could do more of, it's to spend more time in a bikini. I am one of those

who's constantly freezing, and complaining about how cold it is. Let's just say, my life feels ten times

easier whenever it's so hot outside that I can be in a bikini not have to freeze my ass off. And still, I

live in Finland, hmm... Above a picture of me in a pool in Italy this Summer, wearing my all-time

favorite hat by Borsalino. Really wish I could teleport myself back to that pool like NOW.

ALL TIME FAVE: BALMAIN

If there's one brand I've always loved, and always gonna love, it's Balmain. It's got the
Parisian cool-vibe, and I'm obsessed with it. Above you can see some of my absolute
Balmain-faves in-store at the moment. Links below.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION

2018-09-30T21:44:00.000+03:00

I must say, my interior style has changed a lot in the past few years. I used to be all black and
white, but now I'm more drawn to earthy colors like dark green, beige, browns, greys... But of
course, also black. I like my home cozy, and having a kind of a natural feeling. Soft materials,
tiles, real plants etc. Ah, I'd love to decorate a house or an apartment from scratch. Maybe we
should buy something do re-decorate, or even re-build..?

PARIS FASHION WEEK: ISABEL MARANT SS19

2018-09-29T22:10:00.000+03:00

Scrolling through my social media feeds I saw Rosie Huntington-Whiteley had posted a look from
Isabel Marant SS19 at Paris Fashion Week. Judging by that one look from the show I immediately
realized I would love all looks... And well, scrolling through them all, I was right. LOVE Isabel
Marant SS19! Above I'm showing you my absolute fave looks from the show.

First, the suede bag by Gucci - who doesn't have it on their wishlist? Find it HERE. Second,

cashmere sweater in the most perfect color! I would wear this to jeans and black boots. Find the
cashmere sweater HERE. Grey skinny jeans, I always start wearing grey again during Fall...
Find the jeans HERE. This belt, omg, I love it! Would wear it with skinny jeans and a loose,

Salty legs and scorpio tattoos.

Hotel pool and palm trees under the full moon.

I could seriously live in denim cutoffs and Birkenstocks. Please can I?

Golden bikinis and messy hair on a windy beach day.

Calm, crystal clear mediterranean sea on a sunny day.

Obsession with palmtrees.

Cute restaurant tables in Kissamos.

Reading at the beach. This one is called "You are a badass" by Jen Sicero. Read it!

Deserted beaches are the best kind of beaches.

Cute little green thingies on the beach.

STYLE INSPO: THE HYPED TINY SUNNIES

2018-09-18T22:32:00.000+03:00

This post contains adlinks.

Everybody's been sporting these kind of tiny sunnies this Summer. You've probably seen them

on pretty EVERY influencer on Instagram. And on Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid,

Kylie Jenner... Etc., you get the point! THEY'RE HYPED. Let's just leave it at that.

But what's your opinion on these very hyped tiny sunnies..? I really hated them at first. But,

I'm slowly getting used to the idea of actually buying a pair for myself... Not really there yet,
but I might buy a pair when I'm in Greece next week (if I find a nice looking ones, that will say).

Anyways, here's a few of these "hyped tiny sunnies" that I found:

ALL I SEE IS SHIMMER, SILVER AND SEQUINS

2018-09-18T18:49:00.001+03:00

This post contains adlinks.

Find the items here:

1. HERE / 2. HERE / 3. HERE / 4. HERE / 5. HERE / 6. HERE / 7. HERE / 8. HERE

OK, so let's just all agree to agree on the fact that it's trend. Personally I love it!
It's very extraextra but I think it's such a fun trend. It feels very 90's.

'm especially obsessed with that Cult Gaia bag above (I'm sure you all know which one I'm
talking about - this Summer's it-bag for sure!). AND the Tibi turtle neck with sequins all over.
Ah, now I just want an extraextra party to wear the shimmer, silver and sequins -outfits to!

INSTA LATELY

2018-09-15T07:06:00.000+03:00

A better weekend-dinner. Salad with spinach, beets, walnuts, parmesan cheese and
honey. YUM! With some red wine we bought in Austria this Summer.

Rainy roads in Switzerland during our european roadtrip this Summer. So pretty though!

The other day when I realized Fall season is here. I mean, fallen leaves is definitely a sign...

Random church we spotted in the Italian Dolomites on our roadtrip this Summer! So dreamy.

Pic I snapped of the sunset last night when I was out on a run. If there's
something I really love about Fall season, it's the beautiful sunsets.

FITSPO: STRONG AND LEAN

2018-09-13T08:30:00.000+03:00

I don't know about you, but my workout motivation is insane this Fall. All I want to do is workout,

and eat healthy food. I'm currently running 3 times a week, and also putting in at least one day a

week when to do a full body workout with some small weights at home. Besides that I'm also going
on walks and powerwalks as much as I have time for it. Ah, love challenging myself to become

stronger, faster, leaner. It's the best feeling in the world, working on bettering yourself. Your body

is going to stick with you for a very long, it's really all you've got... Better take care of it!

If you're not as motivated as I am, but want to be -

get inspired by the fitspo collage I created above!

TAKE ME TO PARIS

2018-09-12T22:39:00.001+03:00

Sure feels like a looong time ago... Who wants to join me on a trip to Paris?

H&M FALL WANTIES

2018-09-12T22:02:00.000+03:00

It's funny how when the first real Fall days arrive, you suddenly become SUPER into style
and fashion again... I love it! Fall is really the greatest season for fashion, in many ways.

H&M has been launching some really good, new pieces lately. Love especially the above ones.

SOON: PALMTREES, BEACHES AND 30 DEGREES

2018-09-11T06:54:00.000+03:00

Ah, 10 more days and I'm off to GREECE. I literally can't wait. I've actually never
been to Greece before, and Greece will be the 7th new country I visit this year (crazy!).
Wishing for palmtrees, beaches and at least 30 degrees...

STOCKHOLM CALLING

2018-09-05T09:13:00.001+03:00

So, I thought I should try blogging more LIVE! I really miss blogging and think I should
publish more posts, but the problem is that I’m always busy these days... So I figured, why
not start live-blogging, from my phone..?! Let’s see how this turns out!

Anyways. I’m in Stockholm right now! Yesterday I spent the whole day at an SEO-course,
and today I’m gonna spend the day at our Stockholm head office. And as you probably get,
I’m here on a business trip. Stockholm is treating me well per usual.

SPONTANEOUS ROADTRIP

2018-09-01T09:21:00.000+03:00

This Summer we were going to go on a 10 day roadtrip to Norway, like we did last year.
We had planned it and anticipated it for a year. Bought a tent, actually booked a few hotels
and so on... We were all set to go and then, BAM, came the day when we were gonna go and
nothing went as planned. Both of our cars were unfit for a 1500 km roadtrip, and there was no
time to start fixing them in the middle of the busiest vacation times.

Then I said "we are leaving, somewhere, anywhere". Said and done, I very
spontaneously booked us flights to Zurich (in Switzerland), and well, two days
later we were on a flight to Zurich with no plans.

Things went kind of great though and we had 9 fantastic days roadtrippin' through Europe.
We visited Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein and had the best time. The weather
was better than we could have hoped for, and everything went smoothly even though we
hadn't pre-booked any hotels (I booked a new hotel everyday while were driving to the
next location - gotta love the Booking.com app!).

We saw some and spent some time at some really amazing places, like Lake Como, Venice
and the Dolomites. Surely the most spontaneous vacation I've ever had, but it was the best,
and I truly recommend anyone to do the same roadtrip we did! Spontaneous or not.

If anyone want to see more pictures, or want to know more about our roadtrip -
pleasepleaseplease leave a comment below :) Thanks!

xoxo
