that large shoppins spree - clothes

Second part of my shopping rush, dedicated to clothes and shoes. Let's get cracking!





Jacket, black jeans and sweater - Reserved. Print on the jacket looks like old granny's carpet and that's why I bought it - really loved that detail, can't wait for spring.



Some previews I tried to make using new clothes.


Boots, Centro.




Jeans, top and knee boots - Kira Plastinina.


Comfy and wintery home pants from Tezenis.


"Hello" t-shirt, Bershka.


Cardigan and neck-chain, Mango. Cardigan is perfect - comfy and oversized, everything I love at the moment. And I was looking for a chain like this for really long time - not plastic but real metal, and finally found it at Mango.


Shorts and sweatshirt, Tvoe. I just couldn't stand buying this sweatshirt, it combines two of my favorite things - British flag and moustasche, strike!



Fur knee boots from Chester. During severe russian winters good and warm boots are a must have and I needed something instead of my Uggs, which you can wear only when it's very cold and dry outside.


Jeans, Oggi. I wasn't sure I would be able to wear such a thing, but sometimes I like to epater with my clothes (mostly myself), and actually now I wear this pair quite often.


Hoodie, Pull&Bear.



Vest, Colins. What I really like about it that it has a little bag so you can carry it everywhere and it doesn't need lots of space. It will be very handy during my spring travels (and I am going to have a lot, later about that!).


Basic white t-shirt and croshet top, Bershka.

that large shopping spree - beauty

For the past few months I've been in a shopping rush, I can't remember any time in my life when I bought so many things on a regular basis. But, well, I had some tough times recently and this was a way to cheer myself up, so I blame myself for spending enormous amount of money, but not very hard.
It happened that for the last 3-4 months I bought so much stuff that it can't fit in one blogpost, so I'll separate it into three different ones - beauty, clothes and accessories. This one will be all about beauty and makeup I've bought.


Lush "No Drought" dry shampoo and "Snow Fairy" shower gel. Shampoo is not very comfortable to use because of the packaging, I end up with some on my floor, but it works okay and smells deliciousy-grapefruit, and "Snow Fairy" is super-cute glitter shower gel which smells like bubble-gum.


Well...things gone crazy in Victoria's Secret. I think for the next five years I am stocked with body cremes and shower gels. But how can anyone resist their awesome stuff?


"Grease Lightning" spot treatment and "Santa Baby" lip tint from Lush. "Santa Baby" smells like coca-cola, but it's super-red, all my hands are red after using it...


My recent make-up revelation - Catrice! I've been loving it a lot, at once I bought some of their "Liquid Metal" eyeshadows, "Nude" eyeshadow palette, "Pure Shine" colour lip balm and "Ultimate Colour" lipstick.




I've been obsessed with Lush bath bombs recently, they are amazing for a relaxing baths, which I take once in a week as a ritual.


"Stay Matte" face powder from Rimmel and some deep cleansing stripes from Cettua.


"Aquatic Aqua" deep moisture eye gell and "Beauty Base" primer from Lumene and eyebrow pensil from Rimmel.


"Master Precise" eyeliner from Maybelline and "Liquid Lip Tint" from Catrice. Lip tint appeared to be a really special thing, I'll make a separate post about it later.

If you want reviews on any of these products, let me know!

my favorite feet cream - beauty advice

I find it extremely useful to listen to other bloggers' advices - you can never try that much products by yourself to make your own opinion, but there are people who make it for you (and have lots of fun, actually). We are all a society here, where good experience can be shared, so I would like to introduce you my all-time favorite feet cream which became a true rescue for me.


It is Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue by The Body Shop. This is my second pot so far, and I rarely by products twice or more times, because I like to try different things, so I really loved this cream enough to by another one.


It works exactly how I want a perfect feet cream to work - super-moisturizing and caring, it totally saves my feet, especially in winter when they tend to be dry, but also in summer when open shoes damage your skin much more.


On The Body Shop's website it costs 9 pounds, which I'd say too much for a feet cream, but one pot lasted me for about half a year, so it won't be too bad for your finances to by it once in six months, and it is just so good - worth every penny.

If you have your favorites at the moment, let me know in the comments! I think I will make such posts regularly - different advices, stuff I like at the moment - books, make-up, places and etc. Would you like some more advices?

Also, if you want to know more about Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue, you can visit The Body Shop website.

first snow 2013

Another traditional event at my faculty - First Snow Art Festival. If you read this blog not for more than a year, I'm hosting dance contest at this festival and this time was the fourth dance contest I made on my own. Can't believe how fast time flies!

I am really proud of myself this year, because dance contest was much better than previous year, I invited great judges and at the end we also made a workshop, where one of the judges showed a dance and we learned it, it was super-fun!


"Burlesque" from Resonanse Dance Studio.


"Jazz Funk".


My awesome judges!


Our workshop.


I am super-concentrated dancer :)


Also, I was a judge at rock-bands contest, great honor!

russian dance fectival 2013

This is a second time I was helping at Russian Dance Festival held by where my dance teacher works. It is always a hard day for everyone, when you literally don't sit down for eight hours in a row, but super-inspiring, you rarely see so many talented dancers at once! This year my duty were rehearsals before the festival itself (which were lots of shouting, I almost broke my voice) and than afterwards I controlled teams coming to stage.
I like being part of Project818 crew, can't be happy enough that I've chosen that dance teacher two and a half years ago and decided to attend dance-workshops. Now I am looking forward to Russian Dance Championship 2014 which will be fifty times crazier!


Balta Monkiki appeared to be my fav among all the judges, he is so nice! Although Talia Favia is very funny and simple as well.


Try ro spot me, haha


I also found a few pics of... my back :)


One of my favourite teams, as usual, Girls Community - super sexy and incredible dancers! Join their team is probsbly one of my wildest dreams.


Girls came to calm me down, ruling the rehearsals is quite nervous job!





GTG Art Guru were mignons, so cute!

autumn-winter everydays

Bits and bobs from my autumn and (the beginning of) winter!


I've decided to buy this Clinique blush quite long ago, because my mom has one and I liked it a lot, but suddenly everywhere they ran out of these blushes, probably because Clinique don't produce it anymore. Luckly, Mom found one! I love it, the color and quality are perfect!


Photo with my best friend from super-old photoshoot for Project818, discovered lately. We are different, but we are together =)


Fireworks, and I completely don't remember for what reason they were done...


Super-late present for my birthday (for 2012 one, I mean), haha.



A touching present from my friend, who knew I wanted to read "The Little Prince".



A friend's birthday party.


Accidental present from my mom.



Cooking for the first time using my fast-cooker - Egyptan-styled soup, turned out delicious!


An evening with a friend and delicious stuff.
