Summer = picnics

I can definitely dub summer 2021 as picnic summer. It's been a half of it and we spend a lot of time picnicking. It's actually is a great change of pace and feels super peaceful. Surely our local park is to blame. We now have a big list of foods we love for picnic and things we better avoid. It makes me feel relaxed and sometimes makes me feel even more special. This time I really want to dress up a little. Lately we started having short rains almost every day which highly limits places for comfortable picnicking for example, this spot. It is actually a little isolated so every time we relax here it feels very private.
This dress is one my favorites. I bought it on random on ebay some 10 years ago and never regretted it. I wear it several times a summer and always feel fantastic. It's silk and has a built in undergarment which makes it a little hot to wear during a hot day but who cares as long as I chill in the shadow and feel fantastic!

I was wearing:
bcbgmaxazaria dress
Uniqlo bag
hat bought on the streets of Kyoto

 

Have a nice day,

  11. I'm so glad that you are having a great summer and you are getting to do a lot of picnics. I'm curious, are there a lot of bugs? It seems pretty bug-free from the photo. Lovely dress by the way.

    1. we don't have many bugs in general. mosquitos happen in June, mostly in the evening but I'm not tasty for them. as for everything else: I actually didn't think of bugs at all

  16. This is great & you look fantastic but I wanted to say thank you because you reminded me that Darcee & I need to take time for more picnics. We were talking about this in the beginning of spring about how we wanted to sit along the Mississippi River or in the famous Audubon Park and have a picnic more often but we havent had one yet! Yikes!

  41. This is great! A few weeks ago my husband took me on our first picnic in FAR too long at a local park and I really loved it. It's easy to forget how enjoyable the little, simple things like that can be. Your dress looks perfect for a picnic day - lightweight and flowy, comfortable and pretty!

  44. Cleaning out a closet, I found my picnic basket earlier this week! I love your picnic blanket too. That would be a wonderful gift for my husband, as he's a pizza fanatic. Lol. It is definitely time to go out and enjoy a picnic again!

  45. An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

Mixing, remixing and matching. That's what we do so often that don't actually understand. I love feeling comfy and stylish at the same time so I need some remixing with cool comfy pants. That's why I tend to wear same pants so often esp when it goes to everyday life. I'm sorry but I'm not the one who snaps outfits everyday (I'm in Russia which means that I leave home for work when it's still dark and come back when it's dark already) so many out my ideas or layers stay not seen, This is an outfit that made it. Max and I went to get some shopping therapy to local mall. Our small camera was with us so we went to kid's sectore and took some photos. Why not?     I was wearing: Jacket c/o Oasap Glasses c/o Firmoo Pants c/o Motel Rocks Shoes Alba Coat Desigual   Have a nice day, Lyosha  

So cold!

Winter sure is a harsh season for any person living in the northern parts of the world. The temperature hits below 0 C, there is a lot of snow and such... It might be tempting to pretend to be a bear and stay at home doing nothing. But you definitely shouldn't do that. Relax, go out and do your best to enjoy the current weather. Or at least make yourself move as fast as possible to move from point A to point B and enjoy your life when you are finally at the place of destination. The key is to get dressed properly. Try more layers or use very warm items. Also thermal underwear (the simplest and cheapest being Heattech from Uniqlo) might help a lot. As for me I mix warmer items, layering and smart materials to achieve the best result. Today I post my little outfit I wore on Friday. Met with my family, did some shopping and went to gym. Overall I was spending a fair amount of time outside so I needed to stay warm. Surely being a blogger I couldn't avoid desire to still look...

The sea

For our vaction we've chosen the country with the sea. Actually  we wanted some rest and expected a verycalm vacation like laying on the beach and swimming the sea all day long. It didn't work out for it's boring for both of us but you caught the main idea. I was very happy to buy this beach dress! it's so sexy and comfy! and what is the most exciting it looks great being oversized! yay for belts, girls! The photos I'm going to show are the shots of two days. the photos where I'm in the dress are from the beach near our hotel and the swim-suit are from the Great Beaches (or Veliki Plyazh). The sand is grey there it's volcanic and said to be healthy. I don't know if it's true but it's fun for sure. We've been acting like kids there, building the sand castles, running and laying on the sand and playing the water (it's not deep at all, I was already tired of walking when the water was berely at my tummy). oh, how I wish we had the extra da...
