Take a break

Only want to wish you good mood, happy smiles and warm sunny days! Enjoy life, take risks, try something new, live to the full!
 And some pics for you :)

 

 

Nothing easier

Spending the day outside the сity and just doing nothing, a great thought ocсured to me: there's nothing more useful than to switch off for some time and give the rest to your mind, overloaded with the pile of different information.
Just the sun, the sea and the right person next to you. That's all. Quite easy to imagine, but sometimes rather difficult to transfer to real life. So, if such moments sometimes happen to you, don't resist, just enjoy!:)
Smiles and good mood to everybody!

What makes you go?

Although the weather doesn't agree with this to 100%, but still it's spring in Odessa:) Want it or no, it'll be warmer and warmer (I suppose:)
As I was pondering over this question earlier, it's time of absolute renewal and updating. With the first warm sum beams the world seems to be more attractive, the colours seem to be brighter and we're eager to fill ourselves and the whole world with the creative thoughts, endless ideas and inexhaustible energy and power we feel. And the very moment we're full of all this creative stuff, there one question occurs: where can we take the motivation to embody all the brilliand ideas from our brilliant head?
Frankly speaking, it's not only about some turning points in our lives, but also some routine situations, which you can't solve or bring them to the end because of  lack of motivation and pushes.
There're loads of things that back us up in our everyday life, there're might be small details, kinda rituals or traditions you can rely on. However, in some occasions even they fail to support us and at that moment we realize that we need someting more powerful, more helpful, something completely new. As for me, it's not the thing we should be afraid of, it's very natural..
All people time to time swallow the hook. They're stuck in routine. It's so crucial to be brave enought, to have stamina to understand and accept it.
As for my position,  the thing that's able to motivate me isn't actually a thing:) What really motivates and inspires me is other people. There're some you can follow their examples without hesitation. And here I'm not talking about idols or attempts to look like somebody, exatly not. Such people're always positive and with generous spirit; they emit warmth and energy. Being surrounded by such people means not to be afraid of failures:)
And what makes you go?

It's all about skirts

I've written here many times about my attitude to dresses and skirts. For me they're an inseparable part of being a girl. Mini or maxi, lace or leather, they attract attention and make right accents.
This grey leather skirt from my post here with my favourite colour sweater (pretty basic thing, btw)

Search this kind of sweater here, this one is interesting
Try out this skirt, perfect variant in black

First be a woman

Dear girls, women and old ladies!
Even though today is supposed to be a special day, I propose to cancel it! I mean, to cancel that silly thought that all the beautiful and stunning ladies are considered to be (and considered to be treated) like real ladies only one day a year!
I want to remind you that all the ladies no matter where they're from, what colour their skin is, what their professions are, were born to inspire, to support, to surprise, to love and to feel.
Dear ladies! Be leaders, be popular, be famous, to soldiers, be bossed, but don't forget to be feminine:)
We're strong, clever, single-minded, we're able to go into space and under water. We're all gorgeous.
So, let's be those who we're expected to be: sensitive, careful and loving.
Smiles to all of you!

Дорогие девушки, женщины, дамы!
Хоть сегодняшний день и считается особенным, я предлагаю отменить его! Точнее говоря, отменить глупую мысль о том, что к нам, таким прекрасным и сногсшибательным, должны относиться по-особенному только один день в году!
Хочу напомнить вам, что все женщины, независимо от того, откуда они родом, какого цвета их кожа, каких они профессий, были рождены, чтобы вдохновлять, поддерживать, удивлять, любить и чувствовать.
Дорогие! Будьте лидерами, ,будьте популярным, будьте известными, будьте солдатами, будьте начальниками, но не забывайте при этом быть женственными :)
Мы сильны, умны, целеустремленны, мы можем выйти в открытый космос и исследовать морские глубины. Мы все одинаково прекрасны.
Давайте быть такими, какими нас ожидают видеть наши мужчины: чувствительными, заботливыми и любящими.
Всем улыбок:)

Always with you

Like it or not, there're some points that you need to stick to. Want it or not, you must wear a tie if it's official dresscode; if you come to a disco party (and if you're a girl), it's better to wear high heels. There're many standarts in society (even more than we really need) but we can't avoid them anyway. In connection with this, what a pleasure to realise that fortunately there exist something you can easily change according to your personality. During the weekend you can wear anything that occurs to your mind. The same story about the holidays. You can put on whatever you want and don't be afraid that it's rediculous, inappropriate, too cheap etc. It's up to you wthether to wear a tie or not, to wear make-up or not. You can leave all the unneccesary items at home, be free from all the stuff and finally be happy:)
Still, there's one accessorize that you'll take with you in any season, to any meeting, everywhere. What's that? A bag, of course. It can be tiny or huge, any colour, any brand, but you really need it, cause you need something to put at least you money, mobile phone and keys in.
The range of brands, colours, styles is enormous now. The more occasions in your life, the more bags for them you need. Isn't it true? Let's have a quick look at some of them.

                                                Baby bags

This's that type of bags that all of us need (especially in those cases with money, mobile phone and lipstick to be taken with you). So, it ought to be small but there should be enough space for all the essential items. As it's small, it can be a great decoration to your look, or in cold seasons when we wear dark coloured clothes mainly, this small cutie may help you to make bright accents in you look.

                                                           Bags for every day

Such bags we need in our everyday life, when we need to have lots of things by hand. It can be very useful for office work as well, cause it's important to have some files or documents with you. As we need it everyday, it should be comfortable and stylish. Something all-purpose, but special:)

On the top

Do you remember those times, when your mother made you wearing hats in winter?:) As for me, I hated it:) It was so humiliating, uncomfortable, it seemed to me, that everybody would start laughing at me. And I'm sure, all the children thought the same about their looks:)
However, let's face the fact: hats and beanies really keep us warm. In addition, they could be not only warm and comfortable but stylish and elegant as well. Let's check?

So, mommy, you were right:) (as usual:)

It's never too cold for dresses!

What season of the year is your favourite? Summer, when you can sunbathe, swim? Spring, when everything's in blossom? Autumn? Like it or not, but now it's winter:)) No sunbathing, no flowers:) Only lots of snow, wind and fog, load of warm clothes, 2 pairs of socks, 3 sweaters, that's it:)
In connection with it there's one stereotype, and as all the stereotypes (hate them) this one is pretty rediculous. They think, that wearing dresses is appropriate in spring (from April, at least) and in summer only. Who said that? Despite the fact it's cold and windy in winter, we can easily wear beautiful (and warm, of course) dresses. Winter dresses can be elegant too. Combining them with warm coats, boots, sweaters be sure you won't get cold. Actually, it's never too cold for dresses!
