Come as U R
It all began with the black cracking nail polish I was shown by my manicurist. It was so unusual but still very stylish and a little crazy that it inspired my look of that day.

From Tiffany with love
You could always tell what kind of a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives you. I must say, the mind reels.

Electric
At the end of March it still snows, but I have to look stylish and prestigious at the company meeting with the bosses. So I put the posh and laconic dress on. Even though it’s simple, the color is eye-catching. That’s exactly what I need if I want to be heard by the top management :)!

Piano Keys
The rush about the new collection by Jason Wu for Target touched me too. :) I ordered a lovely ivory dress with the black belt and sequined lace that reminded me the style of 50s. When wearing it I feel a little like my favourite Audrey Hepburn and this influences the way I walk and so to say live in this dress. It is very lady-like :)

Dots... out of the blue
My outfit posts are usually influenced by the mood I'm in at the moment of dressing up. The images I create absolutely reflect my inner state. But this time it was all about the navy dress with the ivory dots. I ordered it long time ago on Christmas at asos.com. I fell in love with it from the first time I saw it in the lookbook. Now, that I've got a chance to put in on as it got warmer outside, I like it even more. :)

Shirts Updates for IT crowd
IT guys prefer wearing T-shirts all year round. But sometimes they change them to the classic shirts of basic colors. I have surfed through the main recent tendences for this type of clothes to make the choice of the new garments in the wardrobe easier for my colleagues.

Papa Don't Preach
I love wearing shirts. Traditionally they are associated with the formal style. But I think that a shirt has nothing to do with boredom of dress-code. On the contrary, it can save the look of the office outfit and refresh it. As I'm the office worker, I have plenty of shirts in my closet. Some of them inspire me so much, that I create a little rebellious looks with the allusion to the iconic style.

Purple and Zephyr
They say that our outfit reflects our inner state. I guess I am in the mood for spring now, as I took out of my wardrobe a floral maxi dress and vintage folk-style scarf. These are the two things that, by their color and texture, feel a lot like the blossoming time of the year. And even though there is still snow lying on the ground, there is something invisible in the air, that makes you smile and speeds up your heartbeat :)

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
I always wanted an oversized sweater. Once I saw a pic in twitter by Poppy Delevigne. She posted a look in a lovely jumper by River Island. I fell in love with it at first sight=). The same day I was strolling down the mall and saw the desired knitted clothing in the store. I've tried it on and purchased without any glimpse of a doubt. And it definitely has to be that big. Because LOVE cannot be of any other size =)))

IT-guys Spring Essentials
My twitter is about to explode with the tweets hashtagged #LFW=)Meanwhile I am pondering over the thing that twitter could be the favourite social network for my IT guys if they weren't so lazy. It's perfect because it's laconic. Only 140 characters - that's it. I remember the first time they opened my blog. A half of them barely reached the second paragraph of the post and gave up: Too many letters.That was the verdict. Whatever. =)
I think the same thing happens with them when it comes to fashion. Have you ever seen a programmer wearing layers of clothing or mixing accessories to get a perfect look? Me either. I am talking about the average IT worker, not an exception. =)
Having surfed through the menswear collections for the upcoming spring-summer season, I have picked up a few looks that would probably satisfy the picky workers of the IT world. Most of the garments have clean simple lines and are of basic or pastel colors:

Inside My Wardrobe
What happens when a girl has to clean up her wardrobe? She starts trying all the favourite things on! :) That's exactly what happened to me this weekend. Fortunately, a friend of mine had a camera and time, so we made a few shoots in the outfit that will be waiting on the shelves till spring. The favourite pieces of clothing are the dress by Warehouse, named a festival dress. Hope one day I'll wear it to Glastonbury or something of that kind :). The look mixes up a leather jacket by Mango ( my recent trophy from the winter sales :) and boots by Bershka.

I'll Go Wherever You Will Go
Now a couple of new photos are ready. The photoshoot had three different stories to tell. One of them would show a girl carrying her luggage just before the departure. In the process of shooting the concept moved from general to more specific one. As a result we have a girl who is desperately looking for her beloved man, who is somewhere far away. The atmosphere of the scenery is contributing to the mood we tried to create: the pastel colors, falling snow and tiny trembling silhouette of a lonely girl.

Snowfall Story
On a snowy day we went out to make a photoshoot in the dancing snowflakes.The winter has finally come and gave us such a dose of the falls that now the best way to move around the town is by sledges. Neither the freezing wind nor the snowbanks changed our plans. I was styling the whole process, selecting the light purple silk dress and fall coat for the looks, so the only person I had to blame for my chattering teeth and red nose was me. :)

Band Your Head
Winter is the time when you are forced to think less about how you look and more about how not to get cold. My top problem for the snowy season is my hair. It's wavy and thus is quite messy. But it gets even worse under the hat and the hood as I have to cover my head like an astronaut to protect it from the icy wind with the snow blowing exactly into my face.:) Fortunately, someone invented a headband. I simply crown my curls with the hair accessory. This time I chose a headband with a big dotted bow.

Fur Fun :)
Even though it's almost mid-January, winter is kind of autumn in Kiev=) Nevertheless, I'm quite happy, as I hate cold and feel uncomfortable when I have to run from underground station to my work and back at the end of the day like a sprinter and still do not feel my toes. That is why, preparing for this icy weather, I do have a few things in my wardrobe. Even if the so-called Russian winter comes, I am all way ready for it. I am talking about fur. Not that I am a big fan of it. I have a fake fur vest that was created for me by a very good tailor and saved my skinny body a few times from becoming a talking icicle. :)
Apart from warming function it has one more benefit. It adds volume, if I can say so. :) That is a big plus for me :)

Lace Your Life
My granny is very good at needlepointing. I used to watch her work at some airy collar or cuff when I was a little girl. Later on, when I grew older, I got that special attitude towards the things decorated with handmade lace. Even simple fabrics that imitate the hand-crafted ones amaze me. In the recent fashion seasons lacy clothes were extremely popular. We could spot lace almost everywhere:
From left to right: metallic lace skirt by Vionnet, lace-print pencil skirt by BCBG Max Azria, tiered lace skirt and mini skirt both by Valentino

Meow to 2011
According to the Chinese zodiac, 2011 was the year of Cat. This was my year by various reasons, but one of them is that I was born in the cat's year too. =) That's why, probably, I'm so obsessed with these little fluffy meowing creatures. I bet every girl has something in her closet with the kitten print.
For instance, Kylie Minogue recently has posted a pic of kitten shoes on her twitter account:
Victoria Bekham dedicated a few dresses in her Spring 2012 Victoria for Victoria Bekham line to the cats:
See by Chloe offers less expensive outfit with the kittens print on the T-shirt dresses:
I do have a few items in my wardrobe that express my love for cats. Even my favourite perfume Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci was advertized by Jessica Stam styled as a cat =) :
Moreover, I have lovely earings shaped as sly kittens:
Even though the year is almost over, I know that my addiction to cats won't pass away. There is something magical about these animals that enchants and influences not only ordinary people, but even the world of fashion.=)

Leather Styling
Lulu&Co were holding a contest for the best styling of the leather armour dress by Gareth Pugh. The main idea of the competition was to offer the name of celebrity for presenting this garment and demonstrate the best way of wearing it.
The dress was already seen on Poppy Delevingne and Daphne Guinness:
These are completely different ways of styling of one and the same dress, that illustrate the variety of possibilities of wearing this wonderful clothing.
I chose Chloe Sevigny for styling as, from my point of view, she would rock in this leather dress =) I think it expresses the same rebellious spirit the actress possesses.
For this look I would offer the nude make-up with accented red lips and hair combed away from the face with the "wet effect":
I added Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Mary Ellen leather and wooden platform boots, blackened silver-dipped cotton-lace ring by Aurelie Bidermann and blackened oxidized filigree ring by Bottega Veneta.

My substitude for the sun
When the weather gets worse and the sky is grey and cloudy, the only thing I am enthusiastic about is sleeping. I miss sunshine so much. It's so hard to kick myself out of the cozy bed in the morning into the grey winter day. In the hardest cases I use one nice trick: I wear yellow. =) Believe it or not, it makes me smile and brings energy!
And shooting for my blog with my friends during lunch time becomes a funny game full of jumping and laughing =)
P. S. Be careful with the massive necklaces, especially when jumping. I managed to count stars after my last jump=)) One jump - one hit=) Take care xxx

In the Mood for Winter
Our office life is pretty the same as in many other offices in the country but for one thing. Sometimes someone brings camera and magic begins. I am addicted to posing for photoshoots. It makes me so agitated, excited and thrilled. This time we were celebrating the first day of winter. I was wearing funny tights with red deers by River Island that made my IT guys laugh and they made a lot of jokes about them. But I was totally happy.
Parka - Mango, scarf - H&M, shorts - Colin's, shirt - Sinequanone, boots - Carnaby, tights - River Island, ring- Mango,
brogues - TopShop.
My childish tights kind of supported the feeling that it's finally winter, the magic time of miracles and wishes coming true =)) It was a lovely day even though we were missing snow and frosty air.
