Back to School Preparation!

Hello there!

21 of August! 10 days life till we go to school (or maybe more if your lucky and don't go to the same school as I do and your first day of classes is in 2 weeks or something..)  So all this excitement and preparation made me think that I don't have a bag for school.. So then, i decided to do some research and share with you my ideas about a school bag.. 

With so many books and folders we need some pretty big bag and a comfortable one! Plus, akin in consideration my health problems - basically my completely ruined back which seems to e getting worst and worst it has to be a backpack, so the weight is on both shoulders and i don't wok around in a weird shape, struggling with one shoulder suffering under the huge weight and other literally almost touching my ear! So i went to see some backpacks! :) 

Here are the 6 i just found Super lovely!!! Each has it's own style and just by the backpack you can imagine the character of the person! (look closely at them, it's true :) 

1. Here 2. Here 3. Here 4. Here 5. Here 6. Here

Of course, some totes are also useful and some variation is good as well! One day won't ruin my back even more so why not spend it in that weird shape?:) 

These bags i found the most 'appropriate' for school! They are big and loads of things can fit there! The first one is made of leather which means it will last for long time, nobody wants have an accident of broken holder which once happened to me at school… I will never forget that day and how much i hated myself for buying a bag i liked and not the one which was stronger and more resistible!

Here

Le pliage - classic! There no more i can say about it! It's just perfect for school! All tho mostly you pay for the brand:( 

1. Here and 2. Here

The next one is by Marc Jacobs! So casual and nice! I just loved it! So funny and original! 

Here

Mickael Kors! mmmmm so stylish! Love the color! And once again, its big and nice! Material is very good and strong which means you can put anything you want in there! 

Here

For now it's all I have for the preparation 'ONLINE", but now: 

What I did today:

STAPLES 

 Colored paper is my favorite! i love writing important thing, rules and formulas on colored paper! Then i keep it for the exam preparation put it on my walls and memorize when i have nothing to do just by looking at them! Since i believe my visual memory is the strongest! Highlighers and Gel Pens - needed many but then I realized i still had some from my previous visit to Staples before the exams in june! All though i had a very unpleasant experience with gel pans they are still my favorite! Unless, it rains and my folder falls into water and all the papers come out of it:/ yeah.. wasn't nice.. 

I usually don't admit that pink is my favorite color but today, i really felt like having everything pink for next year and all shiny and glamorous so i tried to choose as many thing as i could with pink color! 

 Shopping with M is nice but i get so distracted.. I didn't even notice i bought 2 packs of highlighters! :/ 

And i had an opportunity to notice that like 3 times, while re-checking if i forgot anything, while showing him what i bought and while putting everything in the end to pay…

All excited ripping off the bags and packaging i put everything inside the case and I'm ready to go with my shinny silver folder for every day :) So excited! But now.. i still need to buy a bag:/ 

Well, thats it for today..

Hope you liked this post! What you think is best for school - backpacks or totes? Are you ready for school yet?

P.S. My birthday is very very soon and i have so many lunches and meetings planned with my friends so expect a lot of outfit-posts!

Summer days

Hello peeps,

How's it going? last days of summer are the ones I spend with family, and with family of my future family (haha)! Few days ago, M and I, decided to take my brothers and lil sis to his house (it wasn't the first time tho..) but this time, we came prepared for pool, for football and for endless fun time before school starts and we won't be able to appreciate and enjoy the good weather, attention of beloved ones , giving the attention and sharing love all at once.. 

Everyone had something to do, no one could get bored even for a second this 4 hours we spent together! Even thought pool was freezing cold we all found things to do, and as you could probably guess, mine was to take pictures! As I've told you already, camera is like a part of my body which i take EVERYWHERE! PLus i guess it's the blogger spirit and obsession in my head which makes me document and record every moment to share it with you guys:) Well, boys are boys so all they needed was football, imaginary goals all around the garden and endless amount of water and all you could hear from any corner of the garden was "Goaaaal", "What a defense" and "Pass"… My younger brother enjoyed the free trampoline and best view of the football championship between M and my other Brother! While my lil sis played with the most beautiful and kindest puppies of German Shepherd! With the ball running around and screaming on portuguese "The ball", "get the ball" and their names sound so cute i couldn't stop filming and taking pictures! 

Later on I'll Post more pictures of this Swimsuit and how you can wear it but for now, enjoy the photos:) 

(Yes I'm wearing socks and it's for 2 reasons: I have little wounds on my toes and My legs were freezing cold on the ground!)

 Her face reminds me of the spartans in war! but so much aggression? no.. I think it's happiness, joy and excitement of getting and throwing the ball! Which I just admired when looking at all of that! 

When the giant M got onto the trampoline it got even more exciting and I just had to join that little party!

How good having a boyfriend that likes taking pictures (of you specially :) 

 A minute of silence for the positions of everyone on this picture………… 

When the sun went down, I as the person that gets cold in one second needed a jacket, and what can be better than a baggy jumper taken from his closet, with his smell and the color which looks pretty good on you ;) ? 

So that's it! I could post the entire 600 Pictures i took, but these reflect the best moments of the day! And i hope you liked this pretty personal post:) Enjoy the last days of summer and spend more time with your family! Cos in the end, this is all that matters <3 :)

Hey thereee!

Sadly nothing lasts forever, and no matter how much i wish those moments did,

 we had to come back from the party paradise place to every summer day routine at home! 

While making this post, i think i didn't stop smiling for a second, every video i looked through, 

made me feel happy and the memories popping out in my head with every photo i passed through in the albums made me realize, that these 2 days, were the best days which will stay in my memory forever! 

"Good memory, isn't enough for good memories" - a phrase I found in tumblr not so long ago, made me realize that the memories we've made these 2 days will be never forgotten (and the proof (photos) will be never deleted from my phone!)

So here's my photo - diary of the best 2 days at Sudoeste! 

I was gonna say 'A picture is worth a thousands words' but then i realized that i can't just post a picture of our houses without stating how cute and lovely they were, super comfy and cozy! I remember, the first thing i asked as soon as we got there was 'Are the walls thick? Won't we be super cold at night?' and i was right, at 4-5 am when we'd come back from the concerts, the houses were freezing cold but good night cuddles saved me from turning into an ice-sculture even with loads of blankets! All though i confess the mornings were super hot-.- 

The first morning, My M made breakfast - pancakes with banana and chocolate cake I made the morning before leaving!  With chilled music, sun-rays and the fresh air coming through open windows that morning seemed to be like taken from a movie, with both of us cooking, singing and of course messing around with each other!

Of course I took my baby GoPro camera with me to capture the best moments! It's small, it even fit in the pocket of my jeans !!WITH!! the protection cover! And here you can see my happy chinese face and our little castle for 2 days with my prince :) 

No comments needed i guess, this IS the picture where words are not needed! Amazing sunset shared with my besties <3 

And the most exciting part of the post!! I always leave the best for the end! Having a meal - dessert is always the last to go and even while eating the dessert i leave the best part of it for the end and same here, the best parts of the nights where usually by it's end! That feeling I talked about, that vibration in your heart standing right near the stage with speakers so loud and jumping! Oh yeah, I jumped so much i lost 2 kilos! This is my favorite type of gym! 

I was so lucky having the "backstage" bracelet and having contacts (actually having pretty amazing friends that have contacts) to go to the backstage and dance with less than 20 meters away from Martin Garrix! Seeing the crowd jump all at once was breathtaking! If you think about it, there were twice as many hands as people.. that was crazy! 

Looking horrible but hey, what matters is that JAY F*CKING HARDWAY is standing right by my side!

Well, that's it! Tried my best to share all the excitement and happiness!

Rebel at heart

Hello there! 

Good thing about having a father that is traveling a lot is the presents he brings back! And they are always unexpected and you can never know what its gonna be, a simple post card, a toy or a pendant which took my breath away! 

I just love the dragon by Thomas Sabo 

(you can find his website here and the link to the pendant here!)

As soon as i got it, all the ideas of what i can wear it with, to where came in my head! Can't wait to share the looks with you!!

The detail is amazing, such a brilliant work I'm in love! Looking at it, it might seem heavy but its really not! Everyone will notice the dragon on your neck, but you! So light! 

Hope you like it, just as much as i do.. maybe not actually because I'm just IN LOVE with it :)

Thanks daddy, super happy :)

P.S. Look the model on their booklet and website! ;)

Inspiration Moments

Hello there,

Maybe last week i was killing my time in Instagram and i saw a photo of Cara Delevingne for the Fall/Winter'14 CHANEL Campaign, so i went to see some more of those and fell completely in love with style, places, ideas and outfits!

Here are some of them:

MY FAVORITE ONE!

Her tattoo seems to fit the photo and it's just brilliant + you clearly see the eyebrow game :)

 The more I'd look at them, the more i noticed some things about Cara which knowing her for so long, seeing her in magazines i never really thought of them and they seemed so normal that when i noticed more about them I took some minutes wondering about them. Maybe you guessed but if you didn't i was talking about her eyebrows! So many girls now-days plug their eyebrows so thin - which i don't its super painful i don't get how you don't start crying after fourth or third. Well, her eyebrow game got pretty serious but it never bothered her instead made her more popular i think, then I went to see other models and their 'flaws' which actually made them 'flawless' in you know what i mean! And here you have:

#1.

Georgia May Jagger with her Tooth Gap.. 

What if her parents actually took care of this Teeth would she still become a model? what would be her 'identification' ? or What if she didn't become a model and this flaw wouldn't be something she would be proud of then what?

I mean, my mom spent 7 eyes trying to fix my bite, my from teeth instead of being vertical were literally horizontal!

And now i see Georgia and she's modeling for Chanel, Miu Miu and Versace showing off her pretty big gap.. which i don't really think is making her pretty.. but oh well, the moral of this story is that its never late to make your Flaw - your Greatest Strength..

Same i can say about #2!

Lindsey Wixson with her Teeth and Mouth and also Nose which contributes to her pretty unique face!

The first moment I looked, when doing my research, it looked pretty weird, but unlike with Cara, i got used and didn't think the face was that bad! Her fatty, small lips and pretty thin nose made her go on the Cover page of the Brazilian Vogue in August of the 2013! 

'Eyes are the mirror of the soul'.. Well our next models, gotta have some pretty wide and big souls!

Lily Cole with her Wide Eyes… 

and Nina Burns from the 20th Season Of America's Next Top Model which i sincerely LOVE! I've been watching it since i was 7 every time I'd come here in Summer because I couldn't find it on our Russian TV, guessing because it would be up on TV super late when I'd be sleeping. So Since then I became more and more addicted so now i follow up every episode that comes up! And the next one is coming right before my Birthday on the 22nd of August!Well Nina's got some pretty BIG eyes! Those two look like aliens for me, and I'm pretty sure if i went to some local Model Agency with such eyes i would't get in Anywhere.. But well done to girls i guess..

This question of getting into Agencies with such flaws made me think, how did Cara become famous! 

Well in one of Cara's Intervies she said "I've been best-friends with Genevieve Garner, daughter of Sarah Doukas [CEO of Storm Model Mangagement] since I was five. Sarah saw me when she came to our school and Gen introduced us. I had never thought about modelling before, and it just happened."

So tip 1. 

Have some contacts with friends and their parents in Model Agencies! (Anyone out there?:) 

Pretty much every other model was discovered when they went to a model agency! When i was living in Moscow, my dad put me in one of those and at the age of 5 i was doing some cute catwalks for famous brands, and had my own portfolio and did a lot of publicity-adverts! Some of Anonymous people and my friends had asked me to tell something about my childhood so here it is:

 

 This was when i had like 5 and i needed to make a portfolio which is basically a book with your photos which   will help people who want to hire you to see your abilities in front of the camera and get an idea how you are etc without having to see you personally at the early stages!

My First Catwalk / Runway for Children Fashionweek in Moscow where I won my title of "The most pretty little model at the Children Fashion Week in Moscow" 2007 or something like that.. 

 
Later on, my cut tie pie face was on the packaging of a juice! (Yes, it's me.. gotta trust me!)

  When i was around 10 I got chosen to be the face of a Moscow Clothing Brand:) This is one of the photos I thought more appropriate to put online since i don't wanna coming a social suicide :)

And the last and the greatest thing i did was to participate at the Runway// Concert at Pierre Cardin Runway when i was 11 right before i left:)

So yeah, since I moved i didn't have time and luck to try out modeling career in Portugal, but I think I'm gonna take that under control since i really like it! :)
