Ho, ho, ho!!!

One of those days

Today was just one of those days when you wake up and you know that everything is just not going to work out! I was feeling sick and weak, woke up in a bad mood.

Can you believe I won?

I won a Holiday Handbook from Aya's from Srawberry Koi giweaway! Thank you, Aya, you are awesome!!!

This is my first giveaway EVER  to win, so I pretty much rely on the Christmas magic and Santa. Wouldn't you think the same?! ;)))

You can still enter her 12 Giveaways spree! ;)

Whip my hair

Recently I discovered the hair extensions for myself. Never thought I would ever use them. But here am I rocking my 60 cm long curles! :)) Oh, how I wish I had so much hair!

the self-timer on camera doesn't always give you the desired result in photography... dah

Hi everyone! It seems that winter is just stuck somwhere in between the continents, 'cause seriously, it's been plus temperature since October! Oh well.. at least, I had guts to use this unusual weather to wear mini and lace, and not be cold to death.

Scanography

Scanography is commonly referred to as scanner photography, is the process of capturing images of objects  flatbed scanner. (Wikipedia)

I think, if a person has a chance to try something new, he/she has to go for it! So... I went for it! :) A scanner appeared in my appartment not so long ago, and I immediately remembered hundreds of images made with scanner that I saw in the Internet. They are intriguing, otherworldly recreation of shapes, colors, and emotions.

Hi friends! I am sorry for the lack of new post today. It's only because yesterday I stretched my leg muscle and I'm not going anywhere this day. Thus, no dressing up for me today - comfy clothes and hot tea that is! Hopefully, tomorrow things will get better. :)

Instead, I have a few mobile snap shots from last Friday for you. This is me at work. In florals and white. Beacause the nature is already grey enough to wear plain colors! :)

Всем привет! Я прошу прощение за отсутствие полноценного поста сегодня. Так случилось потому, что вчера я потянула мышцу на ноге, поэтому сегодня отсиживаюсь дома. Именно поэтому, никаких красивых нарядов для меня сегодня - уютная домашняя одежда  и горячий чай. Надесю, завтра дела будут обстоять лучше. :)

Вместо полноценного поста, я все же покажу вам несколько снимков с мобильного. Так я выглядела в пятницу на работе. В белом и с цветочными принтами. Потому, что вокруг такая беспросветная серость, что одевать блеклые цвета было бы преступлением! :)

10 Thigs that make me terribly Happy

A few days ago I have discovered the loveliest blog called Rockstar Diaries. Its awesome host, Naomi, had an awesome idea of once in a while posting a list of things that make you terribly happy. I think it helps to cherish the little things and make life brighter. It makes you think of good stuff, rather than overanalyzing the troubles...

So, here is my first post on 10 happy things that made my life better recently.

1. my family. little talks, and inside jokes.

2. my cat's snuggles

3. my new cute red winter boots, which I have no clue what to wear with. but they are just adorable.

4. my crafting attempts

5. my sewing attempts

6. shopping (including thrifting and craft materials shopping)

7. sweets

8. when people take me for who I am

9. our 10-minute-relaxing joke sessions at work

10. hugs

Meet Naomi and her lovely husband Josh:

Art Time

Hola, lovelies! Today I took some quality time and looked through some art on Etsy.com. The one person that stood out to me today was Paule T.B.  Her style is just so simple, but fulfilling. I love the lines, and pastel colors. Love the animals and overall feeling of Parisian chicness to them.

Всем привет! Сегодня я выделила время дл души и занялась просмотров очаровательный самодельных веще на Etsy.com. Внимание мое привлекла Paule T.B.  Ее стиль очень прост, но наполнен смыслом. Мне нравятся плавные линии и пастельные цвета, манера изображать животных и людей с легким налетом парижского шарма.

See for yorself:

Hey guys! I am sorry for the crappy quality pictures like these. But pathetic stretched-hand self-portraits with my cell is really all I had time for this morning. :)

Привет! Мне очень жаль, что приходится выкладывать фотографии низкого качества. Но фотографии на расстоянии вытянутой руки, да еще и сделанные при помощи моего старого мобильника, это все, на что у меня хватило времени сегодня с утра! :)

Powder

Despite of the whole variety of rich warm colors, I find myself craving for powder soft tones a LOT. What do you think? Is it time to rock them, or better leave them till soft spring days and use a chance to wear maroon , forest green, and mustard colors?

***

Несмотря на то, что можная индустрия предлагает нам огромный выбор глубоких теплых цветов этой осенью, я почуму-то льну к мягким "припудренным" оттенкам бежевого и розового. Как думаете, время ли сейчас погружатся в эту "сахарную пудру", или приберечь вещички до теплых весенних деньков и отдаться во власть зеленых, горчичных и бордовых оттенков?

Autumnal

I must say it was quite chilly to take off the coat and take pictures like that... So what? :)
***
Должна признаться, что снять с себя теплое пальто для этих фото было делом нелегким - денек выдался прохладным. Ха, ну и черт с ним! :)

This is me enjoying the warm autumn days. Probably the last ones this year. And rocking the new ONLY skirt!

Это я наслаждаюсь одним из последних более или менее теплым осенним денечком. И, конечно же, осаиваю своб новую юбочку ONLY!

This baby is coming soon

See, I am becoming a sucker at ordering things online. I am always nervous that the item would be really different from what I've expected after seeing it on the picture... We'll se how this one goes. I have ordered a cute fur bag for winter. It is supposed to come by the end of this month.

Let's hope that the quality and the look of this bag would be great! Moreover, today my ONLY skirts are coming! Can't wait to see and try them on!

Boo!

Happy Halloween, people! Let the tricks be as sweet as treats this year! ;)

 This year I decided to step out of creepy costumes (last year I was a mad Japanese school girl :D ) and simply was an Indian girl. No extremes, plain classic. :)

And here is another woman of our family - my Mom, who was a Rag Doll this year, hah! 

Have a good spooky night!

ONLY skirts

I just wanted to share the news with you. A couple of minutes ago I have ordered two skirts from ONLY. I am so excited for them to come soon!

I know they are exactly the same, but I couldn't decfide the color. And they were more than 50% on discount, so I just had to go with both colors! What do you think? Which one do you prefer?

Mustard dress obsession

You cannot even imagine how immensively happy I am that I have accidentaly found this mustard dress in a thrift shop! I slowly becomes the favorite piece in my autumn outfits. It is so versatile I can makeany kind of outfit with it. Isn't that amazing?! :)
