On wardrobe updates

Having just discovered the joy of online shopping and and and let go of the skepticism towards it I can't tell you how happy I am about this new top from ASOS that I received a week ago. 

I wear it the basic way, teamed with Levi's jeggings and Vans sneakers, but I think clashing the ornamental/geometrical print with polka dots will look very delicious.

The flags and tents behind me, by the way, are a part of the ongoing demonstration in support of Yulia Tymoshenko on Kyiv's main street, and it's been there since June 2011.     

On US dollars

One of my new love affairs is this $ tee that I got from ASOS a few days ago. Fellow students at uni kept saying that it's the perfect outfit to wear to my Financial Mathematics exam. We'll see.

Oh, and this is my lovely friends Nat. You remember her, right?

5 reasons to be happy

I had some exciting three recent days! Still can't decide whether it's because...

1. ... I have finally received my order from Asos, although there was a slight delay. Await new outfits, I just got my dream tee shipped to me. 
2. ... I received my lingerie from Adore Me - a truly fun online store that brings personalized shopping to a new level. Await a post about this, too. 
3. ... I went and finally got myself my first Vans pair. 
4.  ... I have finally finished my coursework and pressed the "print" button. 
5. ... it's finally spring! 

Which one is it, what do you think?

All the online shopping bonanza got me relly excited because -and it's actually true - I have ner shopped online before. It's like Carrie Bradshaw in SATC compares shopping to exercise. I like the whole process, the whole running around the shops, the whole trying stuff on a million times before I buy it. So the ASOS order was something completely new for me. And the Adore Me package is something very special, you'll see. 

Have a great Sunday evening, guys and gilrs. x

At MBKFD guys from FASHIONDAILY.tv filmed me for this street style video. I'm really starting to like the new wave of street style in motion, although photography is very hard to beat in this.

 

DIY charms

A fellow student at uni - Jane - made this bracelet herself. I couldn't take my eyes off it for a whole lecture. Isn't it sweet sweet sweet?

MBKFD: Day 2

Day 2 at MBKFD was full of positive emotions. I got filmed by guys from Fashion Daily TV, heard one great lecture and anjoyed a controversial yet beautiful show by Anton Belinskiy. 

Trends Brands' Marketing Director, when asked how education benefited her in her career, said that she studied to become a spacecraft engineeer. 

The most remarkable of this day was the lecture by the girls from Trends Brands For Friends - an online store and fashion website launched by enthusiasts from Moscow. They spoke about their marketing techniques and the launch of a new concept called Supermarket on their website - a platform for young designers to sell their creations. This lecture deserves a separate post. 

As for the looks, the best place to go in search of inspiration was - as it turned out - the smoking area just outside. As my friend enjoyed her Marlboros I hunted for looks and shoes (by the way, do check out some shoe shots on my new blog). 

I wore a Gap parka, a Zara dress, House of Holland tights, Mango boots and a Faith bag

And here's a bit more from the day...  

I want to say "well done" to the organizers. The KFD was incredible this season. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the third day, but oh well. 

Backstage: Katerina Kvit

Each season, there seem to be more and more familiar faces at MBKFD. Yesterday, I accidentally met an acquaintance while sipping a drink at a bar. The girl was in full make-up with beautifully teased hair, ready to walk in the next show. Thus, I found myself backstage photographing models preparing for the Katerina Kvit show.
