Ranking first on my list of necessities is a pleated maxi skirt…preferably in color. I’ve been looking for it for quite a while now and if I won’t find it in time for the summer I’ll be VERY mad at the fashion gods up there. So if you see a good one, send it my way or else…
I’ve been shopping on registry lists quite a lot lately, which made me wish we’ve had “the American” wedding. Since there is no tradition of wedding registry in Russia, I feel like I’ve missed out on a great opportunity to score some beautiful dinnerware (‘coz let’s face it – when else would you treat yourself to a hundred-dollar plate?!).
So I’ve decided to put together my registry for “just in case” occasion…that is just in case I have extra $100 laying around. The first on the list would come the new DVF Home Collection. So fun and whimsy, it brings the memories of warm summer evenings…
…when you can pick a fresh bouquet, 
…chase butterflies, 
…gaze into the night sky laying on the beach, 
…be creative and artsy, 
…or try something new and unexpected. 
you might think that I’m bias but in reality I’m the toughest critic of the Russian popculture. Among thousands of one-song singers, it’s a very rare occasion that they come up with something worth paying attention to. But this one is a very special so I couldn’t help but share. The song itself might not stand out too much but it’s the visuals that keep haunting me every time I hear it. The color palette so delicate and luring that I want to watch the video over and over again just to indulge in every detail. Check it out for yourself.
..and for my non-Russian speakers: “Nebesa” means “heavens”
I’ve been an awful blogger lately. With a completely unbalanced April schedule I barely could find time for sleep let aside writing and inspiring you guys. I’ll try to improve as getting back on tracks.
For now I’m leaving you with fantastic art photography by ellemoss. Soft color palettes with a healthy dose of weird curiosity. Got me thinking that I need to freshen up my art collection…

May be it’s today’s celebration of Earth Day at work, or my constantly opening pantry door that reminds me of an overdue recycling but I’ve been really thinking about my consumer/re-user habits. I’ve already shared with you that I’m far from an impulse buyer, I really need to love the new thing to take it home. Sometimes it even takes to walk away from it and see if it worth coming back for.
Plastic/Glass/Paper recycling is not must, but I’m a strong believer in cloth recycling. No, I’m not manifesting to run to a thrift store this second. In fact, your own closet must be enough. Need some inspiration, I’ve got plenty. I recently discovered “Atlanic-Pacific” blog and can’t get enough. Beside getting some fantastic eye candy, you’ll get some ides how to recycle your own cloth into the infinite number of looks really. I dare you to stop looking at the first page.
Run by an incredibly talented stylist with her sweetheart as a photographer, it’s like a look book of a real person styling for daily routines. And aren’t those routines always more fun what you are dressed up to face them. What a perfect combination of blog partners too. If only I could wake my hubby up in the early am to snip a picture of me everyday :)
