Colors in Fashion

This Fall fashion tendencies are promising us the wild polygamy of colors. So even the most picky fashionista can find something to match her demanding taste! Let's examine the most exciting colors to wear in a season that is already at our doorstep. 

Use this little list as an inspiration when you go for a pre-fall shopping! ;)

Mandarin Orange
Is perfect with black, blue, green, beige, and even some pink.

Black
Black never goes out of fashion! It can be a basis for any outfit you can imagine. Especially, if you add a bright pop of color to it!

Burgundy
Can't wait to wear the dark shades of wine red colors this Fall! I think it's feminine  and sexy.

Brown
A true autumn color!

Gold
The rich gold color can be matched with almost every other color imaginable. It will highlight your summer tan and give a little extra sparkle to your eyes and hair. Don't forget the golden accessories can also add this special something to your look.

Deep Blue
The color of deep water, twilight, and... Fall 2012. 

Chocolate
The wide range of colors starting with dark chocolate to a sweet extra-milk chocolate. 

Deep Teal
The rich and complex color - neither green or blue. It's perfect for any skintone.

Peachy
Nude look is still in trend. Peach is the new neutral for the Fall 2012.

Eggplant
Before the gothic tendencies of 2012 in owe we stand.

Choose wisely!

DIY-ed shorts

Hi there! Here I come again with another DIY-ed piece of wardrobe. This time these are my bleached and studded denim shorts.
_________________________________________________________________
Привет! Я снова буду писать вам о своих "самоделках". На этот раз -это будут высветленные джинсовые шорты с заклепками.

I started out thrifting some knee-long high waisted shorts in dark blue color. They were a bit too long for my liking, so I chopped about 10 cm off.
_________________________________________________________________
Я начала с того, что купила в секонде джинсовые шорты с высокой линией талии и длиной до колена. Мне они показались длинноватыми, поэтому я сразу отрезала около 10 см.

I decided to go with the frayed look at the bottom, so I didn't hem them. But if you'd like the bottom to look neat this is about the time to plug in your sewing machine and make some stitches. 

After I cut them to the desired length I realized I wanted to try some ombre bleaching for a while now. Unfortunately, I didn't have bleach at home, so I decided to go with Domestos.
_________________________________________________________________

Я решила, что хочу оставить эдакий потрепанный край, поэтому ничего не подшивала. Но если вам нравятся шорты с аккуратным кантиком, самое время их подвернуть и включить швейную машину в розетку.

После того, как я проделала с шортами все вышеперечисленное, меня осенило, что я уже давно намеревалась рискнуть и попробовать выбелить шорты так, чтобы достичь такого желанного эффекта омбре. К сожалению, отбеливателя дома не оказалось и я решилась отбелить изделие Доместосом.

Note: Domestos will work for you as a bleach in case your shorts/pants have somewhat thinner fabric. Otherwise, it will leave white spots in places where you put the most of this cleaning gel and the rest of the color will fade very slowly. It didn't work for me, and I ended up buying some bleach and being normal. :)
________________________________________________________________
Заметка: Доместос будет качественно отбеливать только более-менее тонкую ткань. В обратном случае средство оставит белесые пятна в местах наиболее обильного нанесения на ткань, а остальной цвет будет ооооочень медленно уходить.  Джинс, из которого пошиты мои шорты, оказался очень плотным и Доместос лишь оставил разводы. Поэтому, на следующий день я купила обычный отбеливатель.

I left my shorts soak in "bleached water" for about two hours (remember, if your denim is quite thin you will need much less time to get the desired result). After the bleaching part was over, I rinsed the shorts in the washing machine and let them dry. Then I studded the left part of the shorts and rolled the bottoms up. Here we go - new shorts are ready to rock! ;)
_________________________________________________________________
Я оставила шорты  воде с белизной на 2 часа (помните, если ткань тонкая, вам может понадобиться гораздо меньше времени для достижения желаемого результата). После отбеливания я прополоскала шорты в стиральной машинке и оставила сохнуть. Когда шорты полностью высохли, я прикрепила около 15 заклепок на правую часть шорт в произвольном порядке и завернула штанины. Все, новые шорты готовы! :)

I proudly wore the results of my handcrafting to a local sushi bar and a walk with friends. In case you wanna know - I've heard a million compliments that day! Well, maybe one or two less, but anyway... ;D
_________________________________________________________________
Я с гордостью одела шорты в местный суши-бар и прогулку с друзьями. Если вам интересно, я в этот день я услышала тысячу комплиментов. Ну, может немного меньше, но тем не менее! ;))

And here is the cuteness of someone's love confessions -->
__________
А вот и чье-то милое признание в любви.

You are the cream in my coffee, sweethearts! ;)

Flower crown for the wedding

Hello, lovelies! About a week ago my brother gor married! Woohooo, right? ;) So, I wanted to wear something special on his special day. I figured that something handmade would definitely make me stand out of the crowd. As I was planning on wearing a dress with violet flower print and was inspired with some wonderful blogposts - I decided to make the oh-so-popular right now flower crown.
________________________________________________________________
Привет, дорогие! У меня новости - около недели назад мой старший брат связал себя узами брака. То бишь, женился... То есть - ура, товарищи! ;) Я, конечно же, не могла упасть в грязь лицом и хотела надеть что-то особенное. Немного подумав, я решила, что что-то сделанное своими руками спасет любой наряд и выделит меня из толпы гостей. И, поскольку, я планировала одеть платье с фиолетовым цветочным принтом и была под впечатлением от прочитанных недавно блог-постов - я решила смастерить популярный в этом сезоне веночек из искусственных цветов.

You can see the result of my efforts on these snapshots from the wedding day - I was also a "part-time photographer" for my big brothers special day.  :) Oh, and don't be astonishes with that violet lace thing on my left arm - it's not a new trend. ;)  I just have scratched it a big deal during the weekend and didn't want all the guests to see me like this. :)
_________________________________________________________________
И вот, вы уже можете увидеть результаты моего кропотливого труда на нескольких фотографиях со свадьбы. Как видите, я так же выполняла роль фотографа на этом празднике любви. :) Ах да, и не удивляйтесь это странной кружевной повязке у меня на локте - это не новый тренд. Дело в том, что за неделю до торжества я сильно расцарапала локоть и хотела скрыть сие дело от гостей. :)

And here are a bride and a groom!

А вот и жених с невестой!

Gaining Confidence Through Fashion

Hey guys, today I have a beautiful and inspiring blog post fwritten by charming Anya from ShoeDazzle.com!Enjoy and post your thoughts in the comments! *heart* Sasha.


There's nothing more attractive than confidence! A confident woman doesn't need to turn heads by showing a lot of skin. A healthy sense of self-appreciation shines through in a flash of the eyes or the silent laugh of a smile. All women deserve to feel good about themselves and their individual attributes. Allow fashion to help you raise your self-esteem while also providing you an opportunity for personal expression. A woman's body is a work of art and fashion is how the canvas gets painted from head to toe. When summer approaches, embrace the sun's warmth as a chance to get more creative in your fashion choices. Have fun with what you wear and that sense of fun will translate a red carpet appeal to others around you!

Summer fashions typically contain brighter colors. Use your own eye color as a starting point for choosing colors that suit you if you're otherwise unsure. The eyes are often the first thing a new person notices when meeting you so choose clothing and colors that compliment them and make them stand out. Of course, you can also accessorize your eyes with an array of sunglass styles or your feet with the hottest of any women’s shoes collection. So don't forget about this summers color schemes. A shoe that compliments the colors in your outfit can really complete the ensemble, while those that clash will stand out for the wrong reasons. Shoes can also boost a woman's confidence by increasing her height; consider women's shoes with platforms and heels if you’d like to be a bit taller. It's all about what makes you feel good about you—but don’t be afraid to be bold and daring this summer!
Maxi dresses are by far my all time fav this summer season! A comfortable option in the heat that is suitable for so many different occasions. They can be worn when going out for a night on the town or for a casual shopping trip with girlfriends. They are free flowing, which allow you to feel the benefits of a cool summer breeze and they fit tight enough around the waist to provide you with comfortable support. 

Vintage jewelry is another way of having fun with an outfit. The colors of the jewelry can contrast directly with the rest of the outfit if you wish to draw attention to it. You can also have one color scheme for your jewelry and another for the rest of the outfit.

Confidence-boosting fashion doesn't have to break the bank. There's nothing sexier than a woman who likes the way she looks, so strut your stuff this summer season!  

Photoshoot: Anna

Last month I had a photoshoot with my beautiful co-worker Anna. Anna hates her thik curly hair. I think it's gorgeous. 

Let's convince this silly girl otherwise! Do you like her hair? ;)
