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.

Beauty Essentials

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.

Paris Fashion Week a/w 2013 // Street Style

Fashion Week has finally reached its final destination, Paris. It is a major fashion capital of the world. I`ll post my personal review of the collections a little bit later. For now, i found wonderful shots of Street Style that is an eternal source of inspiration for every fashionista. I found these outfits very captivating and I hope you`ll like them too.

Massive necklaces

I`ve got kind of obsession with massive bright necklaces and I decided to show you three of my favorite ones. Basically I wear them with shirts, when they are kind of hidden behind the collar but still make the look special.  And sometimes I add the necklace to a self-coloured pullovers. A very important moment here is that you shouldn`t put on a bright top, a skirt with feathers, lots of bangles and rings and such kind of necklace!Otherwise you will look like new year`s tree. So, mind the limits. Let your outfit be simple and decorate it with a unique detail.
