Posh Underground

It's happening! I moved to this idyllic little town in Western Finland called Nykarleby. I started my 5 months life here few days ago thanks to the EVS program, who made all this possible. Meaning giving me a chance to pack my things and move somewhere else basically over the night.

 I remember sitting at the airport at Trieste, waiting for my first flight and thinking for the first time after I decided to take this oportunity if this is the right decision. That I still have a chance to change my mind. That I might miss something important back home. I had a really long minute which seemed like an hour when a lot of bad and negative thoughts went through my head. But now I know that I would only miss this great place if I didn't come here. But more about the town and my first impressions here soon! Stay tuned.

I think I've never shared my private party pictures here on my blog. Am I right? But when it comes to my favourite club in Ljubljana - K4, I just can't resist. Their pictures are always sooo....YES! Ok, it's true that I always look at the pictures from the clubs on the next day and think that I look like I've been partying for two days and forgot that shower and make up exists, but still. It's just funny that you go out looking pretty fresh and normal and then at the end of the night you simply look...well, like I told you. The ironic part here is that I don't really remember when was the last time we actually finished with the party at 6am and went home instead continue to party. Sleep is for the weak, right? And we're young, wild and free!

This Friday night I started drinking with the girls and two of my best friends and then around midnight caught up in the city with my girl Urška and our friend Natan. Still not sure what the hell were we doing for two hours, but we finally made it to the K4 around 2am. I feel sorry that I missed DirtySpeakerz again (I also missed them on the Drum and Bass Conference) but there will be more chances. I'm glad we had so much fun and danced the night off! Oh, and before I forget something really important - Urška were rocking a Topshop flower print dress while I was rocking  Antlers Lodge Clothing  safari tank top again. Meow!

I've already told you guys that I spent my Friday night out at one of my favourite places in town - Metelkova. I'm not really "club going" kind of girl. Well, no. I am actually but if something good is going on there (for example: dubstep) and it's a bit more underground atmosphere. It's not really a shock that I like more grunge places, right?

Last Friday night we were on Metelkova, of course. One of the main reasons why I like that place so much is definitely because you can simply hang with everyone. You come with your company but then during the night you always see so much friends there so in the end we always end up somehow all together. And even if you don't know many people from there you're going to meet them. That's for sure. And you can simply bring you drink, sit on the floor wherever you like, put your music on and have a good time. Later if you're in the mood you can also go somewhere inside and dance the night off in you want.

This time I had come with my peeps like always and then I found my friend Jernej (the guy in the red T-shirt) few meters away from us celebrating his birthday. The best part is that everyone knows everyone there, so we were hanging together, taking shots and act silly. Sadly I have just a few pictures from the beginning of the night because after midnight sneaky tequila came after me so one of my good friends Jacob took my photo camera with him home because that seemed like the safest thing to do. I'm really so happy and grateful to have such nice friends who take care of me.  Anyway take a sneak peek into our night out and let me know how was your last Friday night? 

I've been so busy with life here there I couldn't find time to post anything. But more about that in my next post. Right now I'm having so much fun. Haha, in fact so much fun that one of the nights I went out even police where looking for me all over the town, because they thought something happened to me. It was false alarm, but lifestyle and habits here are so much different than the one I used to. Here it is strange to see a girl walking alone after 11pm. No, I'm not joking. And of the best nights I had here my mobile phone battery ran out so they were calling me to make sure everything is ok with me and I didn't respond for hours so they started searching. I'm glad they take so much care of me, I really did and I appreciate it so much but that was kind of hilarious. Isn't it?

These pictures have been taken after L'Oreal Paris conference in Sarajevo that I've been invited to. I took some time and went around the town in hope to explore it a little bit. And I totally did. And I totally loved it! I just love exploring new places, lifestyles, habits, food. And not only that. I'm already thinking what is going to be my next destination. The only thing I did here that is pretty much the same as at home is that I've bought the new issue of British Vogue. When it comes to Vogue I'm a sucker for British Vogue - definitely the best. I would never guess that Vogue is cheaper in my town than here. Would you? I'm not missing much home except the people I love and home delivery of Indian food! Besides that I'm having a great time here. Meeting so cool people, having fun, eating way too much but mostly good, working - you can expect soon my very first website (thanks to Naš Grad). It was time! In few days I'm also staring to work on my new project with Red Cross and help poor people here. But more about that also soon, so stay tuned guys!

Tonight I had a girls night out for the first time since I came here. Gosh how I missed that! Just being around girls you like and get along, chatting with them about girl things, commenting outfits another girls wear and all that girly things made my night and staying here even more beautiful and perfect. Thanks so much Adna and Amina for a lovely night! 

March was pretty calm. Days were starting to be longer and mostly warmer and I was still fighting a bit my depression from London. What can I say - My heart aches for London and I want to come home again. It was also I time I started to figure out things I didn't know I feel. Mostly unknown feelings I though I don't have. And then I just sat there and waited...and waited...and waited. Just waited for something to happened that never happened - and that's kind of sad. Days where getting by and there was almost April and I was still waiting. Every rain was reminding me of - let's say that something, because it's falling hard, and I was too. But then my time arrived and the Philips Fashion Week was just around the corner and I could swear I knew it's bringing me some changes. Good changes. And it was. My life basically turned up and down. First thing that I'm grateful is that I was able to be a part of Philips Fashion Week. Honestly, there are no words how can describe how much I'm enjoying being a part of that. It made me really really happy. And it also opened me new ways and brought me a few new co-operations, and one big which is giving me a chance to do something I wanted my whole life and giving me a chance to be creative as much as I can be. April also brings me quite a few new friendships. I have to mention one of course and that's with Rok Terkaj. I still can't believe how opened, smart and fun to be around is that guy. And thanks for letting me crash there every now and then when I'm too damn lazy to go home. Friendship with him has also brought me to his guys who are also super nice and creative and I really think we got a bond there.  And there is also a big thing that April brought me back some people I let go few months ago. And I'm happy about that too. Sometimes you don't even know how much you actually miss someone until you see them and they wake up those feeling inside you.

But through all that journey which has been sad, depressed, happy, excited  I had my friends always by my side. I'll never forget the night which was really tough and emotional for me. Pardon my language, but I was really fucked up and my friends got together and made me a pizza and brought me Vodka. Two of my favourite things with my favourite people. How could you be sad then? No freaking way! So thanks to my friends who are always by my side and you guys to stick and keeping up with me. Knowing you like what I like and coming back on my blog is making me really, really happy. Now it's your turn, lovelies! How was you March or April? Any sad moments?  Oh, and you can't also follow me on Instagram if you want - @selmaspendl
