Chapeau


Chapeau is the biggest hats and accessories professional exhibition in Russia and one of the top in Europe. It's actually a lot of fun because I adore hats, both regular and super quirky. I half way and to go to hippodrome to have a reason to buy the beauties. I am also very happy they are no longer twinned with Fur exhibition because I don't really feel like supporting real fur.
The opening day was fantastic! There were many shows and many hats to enjoy. I love the way many hat designers paired with basic clothing  brands to bring the best of it. I personally find the ballet dancers the most creative for the purpose. Only one brand with lots of kids clothes (it's called KGB and they did played around the most terrifying for any post-USSR person abbreviation which is also the abbreviation you get if you use the first letter of names of the designers  and the first letter of their surname). 





















There also was a legacy show of Slava Zaitsev. He is a maestro of Russian Fashion, one of  the first people tried to push the style in USSR instead of unification. It is practically impossible to deny his influence over the modern day Russian fashion.







I also wore local designers that day. I chose one of my personal favorite skirts of all: it's from Maria Braslavskaya brand Labyrinth. I normally style it with white top of sort but that day I wanted to make something different. I like the way round-ish pattern of the skirt plays around with polka dots. I am still a bit cautious with my leg after a small trauma last week so I wore comfortable flats. The bag was needed t easily fit the camera inside.






I was wearing:
Maria Braslavskaya Labyrinth skirt
Longchamp bag
Porta flats
Mango top

 

Have a nice day,

  1. What a fun show. I like the ones on the first two pictures the best - however, it takes courage to wear the black one...

  24. This is so much fun. Honestly, I think we often overlook the power of a good hat. You can literally look back through society and identify the hats that were common for each era... that alone highlights how much of an impact they have on our lives!

  36. I almost forgot that dressy hats existed. I've not dressed up to go anywhere in such a long time that it is starting to get worrying. Thanks Rona.

  39. I love a good hat! They can be so much fun to wear. This is definitely a fashion show I would attend! I love the plain white hat, along with several others. But I think that one is still a favorite, just because it is so quietly and simply elegant.

  40. You are right, there are several different styles. Some of them I really liked and a few were....... well, nothing I would ever wear. However, as they say "variety is the spice of life".

    1. I think it's one of powers of fashion: you learn to enjoy looking at it as you would on art, it is not necessary to view it simply as something you would or would not want to wear

Still can't skate

Each year they set up a free artificial ice skating area as part of Christmas village in our city. I have tried it several times before and could never figure it out. But it is fun anyways. There is something in doing something horribly without any shame. I am not trying to excel in it and for some reason it it truly deeply liberating. What do you think? I wore simple and comfy outfit. Cropped top with Nightmare before Christmas print (it is Christmas theme for me, ok), comfortable back cargo pants and sneakers. You can not really top that. I was wearing: Cuidado con el Perro top and pants Converse shoes   Have a nice day, Lyosha  

More about hats

How did you welcome a new year? I did it calmly with lots of time dedicated to myself. Man, I needed a nice little break here and there, especially as my little one is home for a school break. I have had a lot of fun but I also managed to dig in some interesting information I really want to share with you. I now live in the hot climate and wear hats only for style but I used to wear hats to keep me warm years back. And you know what I am happy I have a choice. These days I wear a lot of bucket hats and baseball hats and occasionally rock a fedora. Do you fancy some hats? I used to wear wool based hats all the time but I never actually didn't try to alter it. recently I found a great way to alter them and get them to fit you perfectly. I would love to share it with you because I know just how much a good fit changes the whole perspective on a life in the cold. I have discovered three fantastic ways to deal with it: hot water pot, shower and washing machine (only applicable on bucke...

Walk the river

Today I want to tell about vacation of mine. I don't want to start chronologically instead I want to show you the best day ever we spend in Gelendgik area. It was a day full of walking swimming and fun. We went to a special nature area park build around river Zhane. Mountains and absolutely dreamy rocks everywhere with waterfalls and baths. The scenery is so dreamy I just couldn't help it! So let the photo speak for themselves. We actually swam in the river. So refreshing and totally wild. I was so impressed that I felt like sea is only a so-so place for swimming after magic rivers Zhane and Pshada (I'll tell you about it in my next post). I wore my wonderful romper I take with me on most of the trips (it asked for no space and fits perfectly. Flipflops make walking around the rocket harder but if you need to step onto the river all the times it is an optimal choice. Comfy tiny bight blue-green top to finish the outfit alongside with a ca...
