Look who is back!



Recently I have been very busy with exams and my plans for the next year. Finally, it`s sunny and so warm that you just can`t waste time sitting at home! Me and my friends had a walk. I was dying to wear my white Converse again. I missed them so much! And that is why I decided to dedicate this post to them.
Quite simple spring look: white high Converse, trench - Zara, unknown shirt with stripes and Eiffel Tower, Jeans- Forever 21, Ray-Ban Polaroid Aviators, earrings-wings and bag is Alexander Wang.

DIY Big Ben on my Cup



About a month ago I bought this Starbucks Create-Your-Own Scratch Tumbler. Originally, it is black. I couldn`t find time for decorating it so I thought it would be fine if I leave it like that. It looked classy.
Once, being in a bookshop I saw an engraving set in the kids children. Engraving is a special technique: you have a preprinted board and a special tool with the help of which you scratch it. Making certain strokes you reveal underlayer (in my case it was a silver foil).
The task was to scratch the board all  way through and to give some silver shining to London Parliament. But accomplishing this task I thought- what am I going to do with that? And here was a moment of glory for my tumbler! I just put the paper in it. It`s still classy, black and silver, but it reflects my personal style and my love for London.

Three words, dude: Chocolate, Brownie and Cheesecake


Sometimes life is hard. Recently I realized that cooking (baking, to be precise) is my way to clear the head. When something or somebody lets a girl down, one of the things that can cheer her up is chocolate.  I decided to make not just a chocolate cake or muffins. A wonderful idea came to me: may be I should put cheesecake and brownie together, why not? Here is my recipe. 

Жизнь - сложная штука. Недавно я поняла, что кульнария, выпечка в частности, является моим способом немного отвлечься и прочистить голову. Когда девушку что-то расстраивает, один из вариантов поднять себе настроение - шоколад. Я решила придумать, что-то  посложнее обыкновенного шоколадного торта или маффинов. Почему бы не объединить брауни и чизкейк? Вот, что у меня получилось в результате.

My leopard hat


It`s still cold! I don`t feel like Spring. And according to the forecast we are expecting snowfall, can you believe that?! But, fortunately, I have this hat that will keep me warm. It`s a faux fur leopard printed hat that I purchased on Asos website. Thanks to the post, I`ve been waiting for it for 2 months, but now it doesn`t matter.
I love how it matches the colour of my hair and eyes, I love the shape and softness of the fur.

I thought I would do a little post about some cosmetic items that I currently use. Actually, I can`t imagine how I lived before these products. This time I`ll tell you about the best mascara in the World, my favorite body-scrub and lip butter, and also about a wonderful hair conditioner.

Paris Fashion Week a/w 2013. My review

What caught my eye and what I want to share with you. Paris Fashion Week a/w `13.

Valentino
What a stunning collection! I fell in love with almost every piece of clothing (before it happened only in the case of Burberry). Simple silhouettes, but great embroidery .The basic colours are black, white, various shades of blue, and red. Lace collars and cuffs make the look more girly and more elegant. The collection reflects peace, grace and a little humility. The designers said they were inspired by the paintings of Dutch artists, and ask people to notice the braids with black ribbons and expression on the models faces. Critics notice the influence of religion and compare the embroidery with porcelain. This collection has it! I definitely enjoy the image of Valentino for the new season.
