Look of the Day: Better than Ever

dress - Self Portrait / bag - D&G / shoes - Asos

EN: I have two weeks to get everything sorted. I was so lucky to get a permanent job with permanent hours after being made redundant at the worst possible time. My contract starts in 2 weeks so I better get on top of my projects.

These were my thoughts before I woke up with cough and sore throat on Monday morning :)) Typical, isn't it? So instead of being an ambitious workaholic I took time off to let my body recover. Hot water with lemon and honey and milk with butter and honey on repeat. Oh and vitamin D to speed it up.

Staying all day in bed also gave me a chance to catch up with new and not so new TV series. I watched 'Emily in Paris' on Netflix. And all through the series I was waiting for the style transformation of the main character. But it never happened so I feel like I was cheated on! I was promised "Sex and the City" style but got an amateur wanna be. I understand that writers wanted to show us the difference between iconic French style and American kitsch but gosh they went too far. I think "The Best dressed Character" goes to Julien. I admire his understated chic and colour combos.

Look of the Day: Will you be my Valentine?

Dress - CHICWISH / Shoes and Bag - Dolce & Gabbana

EN: I love these photos so much! They just turned out perfect the way I dreamed. But everything behind the scene was hilarious.

We got to Hedonism Wines at 9.30am and there were no installations, no cute bench with cupids, no cute bike with love letters ... I checked the opening times (apparently 10am) and decided to come back later after the opening, hoping that the shop is going to bring out cute decor I saw on social media.

We decided to for coffee to Marchesi 1824. It was an interesting experience watching locals making the orders. Jesus they are so complicated and demanding. Americano with an extra shot, warm milk on the side, hot water on the side, half shot cappuccino, each pastry in a different bag ... I swear, as soon as we finished coffee and pastry I ran away. Not my kind of crowed.

After the breakfast we went back to Hedonism Wines and whilst we were approaching we saw some bloggers already taking pictures. Cool, pretty decor is out, like minded people enjoying what they are doing ... or not. I was really surprised how gloomy other bloggers were. Why? Just why?

I don't think I'll ever find answers to my questions. All that mattered at that moment is my patient husband, the dress I loved and my ideas coming a reality. Oh and watch out for the first selfie on my Instagram feed :))

And also here's few words of appreciation to my dress from Chicwish . It's just perfect. Love everything about, especially the colour. I'm sure you will see many photos of me in it. Who wants to invite me for an event?

Family Look: New Pink

Me: Shirt & Shorts - CHICWISH / Bag - D&G / Shoes & Hairband - Asos

Katerina: dress - Amaia Kids / Shoes - Step2wo

EN: The outfit of my dreams :)
I swear the other day I was looking through my wardrobe to choose something to wear to my cinema trip. I had something in mind, like loose, long sleeve, oversized shirt I could wear with shorts. Unfortunately I didn't have anything like it in my wardrobe, most of the things I own are tight and fitted. The very same day I checked chicwish website to see what's new this week and I saw this shirt & shorts in tree colours! OMG! OOOMMMMGGG! Exactly what I was looking for. It was hard to choose but I went for the 'pink' one. When I received it I loved e v e r i t h i n g about it! The cut, the fit, the style, the fabric the colour. Although I believe the colour on the website looks a little bit different. In reality it's more like pinkish brick colour. Not orange, rust or brown, but soft pink brick colour. Very unique and very flattering.

I also would love to show you how you can wear these pieces separately. I already put this shirt on with loose fit trousers in camel colour and my Gucci belt. It looked amazing, I just need to remember to take photos next time xx

Look of the Day: Red & White

Top - CHICWISH / Shorts - Reiss / Shoes - Asos / Bag - Dolce & Gabbana

EN: Do I look like a person who enjoys camping? Funny enough Gareth knows that I can easily survive sleeping in a tent but he also knows that I wouldn't do it voluntarily :) I used to work as a tour guide / interpreter and I was charging money to sleep on the floor.

Last Saturday Gareth went camping with Katerina. Not too far, just at the school pitch. The camping event was organised by the parent's association and it actually went pretty well! Katerina really enjoyed running around with her friends till dark, watching the film at the open air and waking up seeing her friends in the morning. It sounded like loads of fun but I've been cheeky and chose comfortable bed over the sleeping bag.

It's ok not to do everything together as a family. The next day Gareth was absolutely shuttered and went to sleep as soon as he got home. So it was my turn to spend fun time with Katya (in a bit more glamorous way though).

And talking about my look of the day. How gorgeous this open shoulder top is!? So simple and so elegant. I'm always happy to show of my collar bones and shoulders (not to the mosquitos camping) xxx

Look of the Day: Wisteria

Dress - CHICWISH / Jacket - Borrowed from a friend / Bag - Dolce & Gabbana / Shoes - FitFlop

EN: So proud of myself :)

For most of the people - driving is a part of life, driving in between cites is a daily routine and motorways are pure joy in the form of speed.

Although I've passed my test nearly 2 years ago, I'm mainly a city driver. Motorways only happen when I want to go to one of the National Trusts. To be honest, my first solo motorway drive didn't go well, I came off at the wrong exit at the 'Spaghetti Junction' and it's still my worst nightmare.

Yesterday I made a decision to drive myself to Bath city, which is situated nearly 2 hours away from where I live. TWO HOURS of driving on the motorway by myself. It might not sound that impressive but it's like an achievement for me. No mistakes, just a smooth drive and BBC radio on.

Ok, one small hiccup did happen. It was parking! I was parking by my friends house on a super narrow street which was very very steep. I had to parallel park my car by reversing uphill in my non- automatic car, holding biting point and all the stress which comes with it. After the first not so perfect attempt I asked one of the residents (who was drinking tea in his kitchen and probably bursting out laughing inside) to park the car for me. It took him 2 attempts to park my car ok-ish on the curb. Phew :) We did our best.

By the way this outfit would be prefect for driving! Comfy shoes, comfy dress and sunglasses. Love love love how this dress looks with denim jacket. It's 'very english' by the way to combine denim jacket with a summer dress ;)

Look of the day: Two in One

Top - CHICWISH / Trousers - Asos / Belt - Gucci / Bag - D&G / Shoes - Asos

EN: Fashion shouldn't be disposable. In fact, it isn't, but it is the way we treat it. Celebrities don't wear the same outfit twice, we believe we need a new dress for every occasion, paparazzi buzz when our Dutches wears the same coat twice (god forbid if more). Blogs used to be about 'how to style jeans in 10 different ways', nowadays I rarely see bloggers showing the same item twice in a month if ever. I'm not much better, I went down the same road, but I admit we need to bring some changes.

Of course I wear the same outfit/ clothes multiple times, in fact I wear loads of clothes from when I started blogging (2012). Although I don't photograph my looks daily, my instagram stories show me styling the same things in different ways.

If I see a positive feedback I might do this sort of posts more often. So let me introduce you: One Top - Two Looks.

The top is an absolute darling. It's white, it's crochet, it has puffer sleeves. You are going to see me wearing it a lot!

Look of the day: Rome

Dress - CHICWISH / Bag - Dolce & Gabbana / Shoes - Hobbs

EN: We've visited Italy so many times, exploring it from the fashion capital - Milan to the sinking city - Venice, across the lakes and Tuscany valleys ... But for some reason Rome was never on our list. This spring we finally made a plan to say hello to the capital.
Italy has a very special place in my heart, and Rome did not disappoint. From the first to the last day it was spoiling us with amazing surprises. I felt so happy being there that I was smiling non stop. The prices were not as bad as we were warned, people were very friendly, the city was very clean, tourists weren't in my way ... basically there wasn't anything wrong with the city it was just melting my heart with its beauty and history.

And here's the dress I chose for one of the days. It's a maxi dress with a very deep 'v neck'. I feel like Rome deserved something grand but effortless at the same time. And this stunning floral dress just did what it had to.

Look of the Day: Origami

Jumpsuit - CHICWISH / Shoes & Bag - Dolce & Gabbana / Earrings - Ted Baker

EN: Things are not always the way you see them. Basically we got caught up in the storm, rain, wind and everything you can imagine. My hair is very messy, my makeup needs touching up, my shoes are full of water and we are waiting for a taxi by someone's front porch.

It doesn't necessary mean that I am not showing the full picture, I'm just showing my approach to the situation. We were embracing our time together no matter the weather or any other factors, having a good time in other words.

Shoutout to this amazing jumpsuit! This navy blue is a perfect base colour and it goes so well with so many other shades. This time I jazzed it up with hot pink accessorise, next time I might go with total blue ;)

But it's not the colour what makes this jumpsuit to stand out, it's the details! Does it remind you of an open fan? Beautiful origami detail attracts attention to your waist and open shoulders. I just see myself wearing it a lot, from a casual day out to a special event or fine dining.

LOOK OF THE DAY: Wrap Dress

Dress - CHICWISH / Shoes - Asos / Bag - D&G

EN: OMG We are half way through the month and it's only my second blog post in September. It seems like I can't catch up with my thoughts.
You might know that I had my friends over visiting us from Russia. It meant that no work was done what so ever and I'm still struggling to get back on track. It's first time ever I had to mark dates on my calendar reminding myself to write a blogpost. Two blogposts a week seems reasonable, right?

Ok, enough moaning. Originally I just wanted to share this beautiful dress with you. I think it accurately represents the 'english style'. I couldn't but notice that a 'wrap dress' is dearly loved on this continent.
