Xena The Warrior princess outfit for New Year party

Hey guys! Hope you all had an amazing holidays!

     This is the outfit I was wearing yesterday. It’s kind of a tradition that we celebrate New Year with all my family in my parents house, and we all love to dress up. I got this dress from CUTE (local designer brand) last summer but didn’t have a chance to wear it yet. My boyfriend said that it’s a Xena’s costume, so I look ridiculous and not festive at all, but I love the dress. I usually  wear a very feminine lace party dresses, so I thought it’s a perfect change, edgy and still femine at the same time. So what do you think guys: Xena or Banana?

Dress: CUTE (local designer brand: last summer collection);

Heels: Foxy by Jeffrey Campbell;

Ring: my Russian jewelry shop Rosa Banana;

Necklace: H&M;

Nailpolish: Rage by Orly.

That’s it, guys! Have a great life!

The straitjacket dress

     Yes, guys, you’ve read the title right, today’ll show you how to style a straitjacket. Who knows maybe you’ve just run away from a mental hospital and want to look stylish? Ok, I’m done) Anyway, I got this quilted dress from Klod, young local brand, and it was my very first purchase from them ‘cause I’ve never liked their designs and a name, but fell in love with this bad boy, which remains me of the straitjacket and Margiela designs (did you notice the lenght of the sentense? haha). You know, there’s a thing about me: I just have to own all those weird stuff. I feel like they suit me well and show my personality better (oh yes, let’s show your inner crazyness, wearing a straitjacket). Back to topic, this dress is actually very nice - warm, cozy, great for days when I’m get a bit tired of my overdone outfits and want a little minimalism.

Dress: Klod (young local brand)

Coat, platforms: Zara (new collection)

Bag: Barbara Boner

Necklace: Dad’s gift, so probably something grown-up and pompous

Don’t let the flowers go

Hey guys, how are you?

    It’s almost winter, and I’m wearing floral print shorts! Yes, I’m going into an opposite direction, ‘cause I used to wear only black and grey during the cool months, and now I’m happy with my brights and prints. I can’t actually even think about black and grey these days. BANANA VOTES FOR A COLORFUL WINTER!

   Florals are my favorite print, and if you love flowers as much as I do, you would like to know how to incorporate your floral summer pieces into the fall-winter wardrobe. My main tips (oh look now I’m teaching you how to dress, how pompous...) are: 1) wear florals on the dark background, such as these shorts from CUTE last summer collection. The black background gives a winter vibe to them; 2) try to fing a floral pieces, which have darker or just more fall-ish/wintery shades on them (berries, jewels, grey, brown...). For example, mine have a quite bright turquoise flowers on them, but there’re a lot more of the mustаrdy leaves and the greyish peonies; 3) combine that print with a knits, leather, tweed or -again - just with a fall/winter colors. 

   I’ve tried to mix all my tips into the one outfit, hope you’ll find it helpful! By the way, the background of these pictures somehow remained me of the Harry Potter series...

Rose gold pleasure

Hey guys!

   I have a question for you today: what are you styling rose gold pieces with? I have been liking rose gold jewelry and nailpolish recently, but I found them a bit tricky to combine with some particular colors in clothing. I know it goes great with blush, pink and beige shades, but I don’t really wear them. So I wear rose gold with berry shades, cream lace and forest green, and also a few days ago I came up with this outfit. What do you think?

Dress: CUTE (young local designer brand; spring 2012 collection)

Heels: Carlo Pazolini

Bag: Zara (new collection)

Chain, hair cuff: H&M (I believe you can still get them)

Ring: my russian shop Rosa Banana

Nailpolish: Rage by Orly 

Have a great life!

Million, million golden dots

   Total black, mam? Yes, please! We all love total black outfits, they make us feel modern, sexy and casual at the same time. I used to love them, I literally wore black all the time, but it feels quite dull for me now. Start wearing colors was one of my last New Year’s resolutions, and I think I made that pretty well, colors made me feel like I’m enjoying life a bit more. Of course, I still have that kind of days when I just want to wear all black, but I try to spice it up with a little bits of color.

Shirt, pants: Zara (new collection)

Jacket: Neohit (almost as old to be called vintage)

Clutch: Leonid Titow (young russian designer)

Booties: Carlo Pazolini

Scarf: made by my Mom

Earrings: Mom’s gift

Gold bracelet: H&M

Malachite bracelets: my russian shop Rosa Banana

Ring: Sigal (jerusalembazar.ru)

On my nails: Oui by Orly 

On my eyes: MAC eyeshadows in Naked Lunch, Satin Taupe, Cranberry and Carbon

On my lips: Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo

Have a great life!

Keep your poncho on, girl. Be afraid of red winds

    Poncho. That’s a funny word. Pon-cho. The shape of this clothing item is funny too, and as you’ve already know, I love all sorts of funny things. As one of my drunk friends once said, 'I feel like wearing poncho, 'cause you never feel sad in it!'. Anyway, I’m glad my Mom got me this poncho as a gift last fall, ‘cause this is an incredibly cozy thing and its colors are perfect for fall. 

   By the way, sorry for my absence. I am a bit ill and weather in here are just crazy, it feels like almost winter, so shooting isn’t really an option. I promise I’ll do a lot more outfit posts and a September favorites very soon. This outfit was taken pictures of quite a while ago and I didn’t actually want to show them to you because of the sucking lighting, but...So ‘yay’ for saving things!

Total look: Zara (the bag is from a new collection)

3-piece coral ring: Rachel&Frank (jerusalembazar.ru)

Jantar ring: vintage

Aventurina ring, earrings: my russian shop Rosa Banana

Lipstick: Hung Up by MAC

Nailpolish: We’ll always have Paris by OPI

This gorgeous baby is by CUTE (last fall collection), which is my favorite local designer brand, and now it’s the item in my wardrobe which I really proud to own.

   P.S. Send me congrats pals, I’m now finally working in fashion business (as a PR-girl, of course), and I think, I would mostly be paid in clothing ;)
