Yesterday was a fun and long day! We were celebrating May Day, and it’s the kind of day that always cheers me up. Everyone is on a good party mood, and for me it’s like a symbol of summer and spring. When it’s the First of May it’s really official: winter is over. We made it through the ice age, and now it’s time to celebrate! 😀 Nature starts turning green and colorful, weather starts to warm up (usually) and boots can be replaced with ballerinas. (My first ballerina-outfit is coming up next!) Here’s some pictures taken yesterday, when we were getting ready.
Nyt on vaput juhlittu! Eilinen oli kyllä niin hauska, vappu on aina yhtä piristävä juhla. Kaikki tuntuu olevan hyvällä rennolla tuulella, ja mulle se on myös kuin symboli keväästä ja kesästä. Silloin se on nimittäin virallista ja iskee vasta kunnolla tajuntaankin: talvi on ohi. Selvittiin, ja nyt saa juhlia! 😀 Puihin alkaa pikkuhiljaa tulla lehdet, ilmat (yleensä) lämpenevät ja bootsit saa vaihtaa ballerinoihin. (Eka ballerina-asu tulossa seuraavaksi!) Tässä muutamat kuvat alkuillalta.
Getting started at Alexa’s, with pretty food and drinks
Aloittelua Alexalla ihanien tarjoilujen kanssa
Make up done by sweet and talented Riina. Second time ever when someone else does my makeup, it was such a luxury to just sit there and feel safe when you know someone’s really talented and knows your taste!
Suloisen ja niin taitavan Riinan tekemä meikki. Toista kertaa ikinä joku muu meikkasi mut, ja olihan se luksusta! Ei onneksi tarvinnut pelätäkään yhtään kun Riinan kädenjälkeä olin nähnyt.
Cold bubbly strawberry drinks. I’m a fan of sweet sugary drinks!
Kylmää Fresitaa mansikoilla, nami!
… later meeting more friends and going out. It was too crowded everywhere, but well who cares, May Day is that kind of day. Finally we ended the night with some take away pitas, cold sodas, lots of water and a fun sleepover. I even managed to avoid the headache next morning – success! I hope you had a great time yesterday, whether you celebrated May Day or not! I’m not sure how common tradition that is, but in Finland it’s a big one!
… myöhemmin porukalla uloslähtöä, mentiin Bankkiin joka oli ihan täyteen ahdattu, mutta no sellainen se vappu on. Mitäs pienistä, kuuluu asiaan! Lopulta vielä ilta päättyi Fafa’sin kautta Alexalle yökylään, kiitos take away pitojen ja hyvän nesteytyksen ennen nukkumaanmenoa, vältyttiin seuraavan päivän pääkivuiltakin. Toivottavasti teillä oli hauskaa eilen, juhlitte vappua tai ette! 🙂

You looked lovely! 🙂 Just like Alexa. Riina is such a talented girl, she did an amazing job on your make up! And I like your outfit. Really great.
In Germany we also celebrate the first of May. Now winter is officially over! 🙂 Put away the parkas and put out the summer clothes, haha. Luckily we have such great weather here, but not compared to the weather expecting you in Florida! 🙂 Will you spend a week over there?
Again, you’re gorgeous on this picture! 🙂 x

Beside that you had a great outfit!!! Where your top comes from please???!!!

Simone says
We have a “Tanz in den Mai” Tradition, that people go and party on the last night of April. So it is a bit like in Finland, though I remember Helsink was crazy, much more than here 🙂 I like it, good spirits, fun, no worries, friends… and hopefully no fights etc.

Beautiful pictures Marianna! That drink looks so delicious 😀
The first of May is always special, because my boyfriend and I met on that day. We are 6 years together since yesterday and I got the most amazing flowers and a very romantic dinner. What more does a girl need? 🙂
I love what you are wearing, that top is very pretty!

Kun käyt salilla niin käytätkö isoja painoja ja lyhyitä sarjoja vai teetkö pienillä painoilla ja paljon toistoja? Olisin erittäin kiitollinen vastauksesta!!
