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!

Hey Hey Hey! 
Guess what? when you're reading this now, I'm on my way to Sudoeste Festival! (or already there, if you're reading it late night:) ) I've been excited about it for months! Re-looking the website of the place where we gonna stay, the facilities they have, the line up of the festival - i know it by heart i've looked at it so many times, the weather website was already in my 'favorites', my clothes were folded in piles for days, ready to be put in my suit case and Here we go! The day has finally come! 
Do you know that feeling like little fireworks in your chest when you hear a song like.. Hardwell for example or Martin Garrix or Jay Hardway and you realize you'll hear it in a little time but way louder, way brighter with lights and that vibration in your heart from the speakers going so loud, you almost can't sit still on the car sit, watching same landscape pass for hours! 
What about that feeling when you get there, the air is warmer outside since you probably turn on AC and doing that deep breath and exhaling the last molecules of calmness and filling up with energy and even more excitement and desperation for the nighttime to come! 
As an explanation for my outfit i can say i was inspired by the famous outfits of Coachella, boots, dresses, hippie-like looks! The look must be comfortable for jumping like crazy, (not something you'd care a lot about) since those big guys with beer all around you might accidentally spill it all around or even worst all over YOU! (thats why i will change for short later hehe) but to get there all fabulous i wore this Nasty Gal dress, with my lovely new Zara boots and loads of weird random accessories i could find! 

Hope you like it! 
Any comments, ideas and critiques feel free to leave them below!
Enjoy your holidays, and if you're going to Sudoeste as well, okay then 
HAVE FUN!!!!

Remember me in Red..

Hello my dears :) 
Im feeling super happy and you're about to know why! 
Since I moved to Portugal, i didn't go back to Moscow and i haven't seen my friends, and a few days ago I received a message from a really old friend of mine saying that he's in portugal for few weeks with his family! Our families have been friends since my first year in school and they were ones of the first ones who knew we were moving! So in few minutes we scheduled a time and a place! This feeling, when you move and think that everyone forgot about you at once got completely reversed in my head, someone actually wanted to see me and know about me! we planned in walking around Lisbon, specially Parque das Nacoes which i really like but instead we sat in a restaurant, parents talked about their business and we talked about everything! Long story short - we told each other everything happened for the past 3 years we haven'r seen each other, news gossips all at once and this happiness and excitement knowing about how the place and people changed (which also made me shocked some times!) but still it was a really emotional day! 
Since we've planned walking round on a very hot day specially in Lisbon where it's hotter than in Cascais i decided to wear this Red dress from Pull and Bera, one of my first purchases with my own money since i moved here (yes its a very old dress!) which is just as special as the occasion for me! 
Some people when they see this dress say 'This is Masha' without having to look at my face! You know sometimes when people tell you 'Oh that person..!' and you have a vision of them in something dressed (usually :D) so if you ask what the associate with me? Right is this Red dress i wore once on a mufti day to school (basically when we get to leave our uncomfortable uniform home and wear normal clothes), and since that day this dress is my signature, this dress is ME! 

Hope you like it:)

That day when we went walking around - the shops in Commercial Centre of Vasco de Gama i got this new boots with open sides which i thought super nice! the color and the style! they are very elegant and are made right in the shape of the foot making it look super thin (see the picture from above!) 
And a new shirt/blouse also from Zara which looks good with the boots and its just the style i always wanted! free casual and good-looking for any occasion! :) Getting ready for the 2 years of IB without uniform :)

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! ;)
