Popping in to proudly say Im back on track with my ex addiction! Tumblr!
I remember the days, nights, lessons and afternoons i used to spend with my scrolling down syndrome, saving pictures, reblogging onto my page just for my own personal interest, so i always have them in one place and in the end it started to grow and become my personality. Id share my mood, my likes, my taste and ideas for future photoshoots or posts, outfit ideas or just dream clothes and dream shoes which in the end creed a copy of me but with pictures! but then i stopped, can't remember why but now I'm back on track!
Finally found the time to edit the photos and write you something..(on my free lesson on which, theoretically, i should be studying) !
I can officially admit that the overload wave of IB work, including 5 written tasks, 2 presentations, 1 book analysis i haven't actually read; everything that I´ve left for the last minute, had crushed my paradise beach of no worries and rainbow unicorns.. I started this week looking fresh and relaxed after the best weekend i could ever have but today, thursday the 22nd, I'm wearing my designer eye bags, my ´wanna be Jessica Hart´ buns and uggs, as last nights studying till late made my bed very jealous so she couldn't let me go today morning till my mom came in my room, shouting as if there was a fire in the house...
Looking thought the photos makes my mind go away and review the movie-like experiences and adventures we had.. My imagination is that wild that i manage to put music in the background and view us from the third person which makes it veeery movie like.. but then my teacher be like ´Masha! Masha answer the question!´ and ruins all the magic in my head and butterflies in my tummy and i go back to algebra..calculus.. graphs...
Remembering that day, as i said on my Photo Diary Post, the weather was surprisingly pleasant to wear my Ripped Jeans from H&M and an Olive Parka from Zara! My comfies Timberlands where literally like Range Rovers - Shoes for all roads ahah perfect for Portuguese Calcada and roads going up and down! A Simple t shirt with philosophical phrase ´What is normal anyways?´.. i don't usually buy or wear shirts with phrases or words cos usually they have no real smart meaning and even dumb sometimes.. which annoys me so id rather wear a plane shirt than something that doesn't make sense. But this tee from Stradivarius attracted me a lot and after i bought it i was thinking a lot what is normal anyways? So heres a question for you! Tell me your opinions in comments, id love to know!
P.s. Im also planning on showing you the way you can us these ripped jeans for more classy type of event hihi :) Stay tuned <3
hehe I´m into portuguese mood today! So there it was second day, waking up with little headache of previous night´s dinner and wine tasting day we were ready to visit the ´other side´. After cute breakfast in bed made by M, we left ´our house´ to go to the centre of Porto, which meant crossing the bridge and walking up and down hills so comfy clothes were the best choice for the day.
As a very organised person i hate waisting time on wondering around, as an antisocial person i also don't like asking people the directions so months before we left to Porto Ive done a plan, with routes, big maps printed and all the places we had to visit.
As the time was around lunch time and our tummies.. id rather sale the wales inside our tummies were about to perform, we decided it was better to eat first. Where to eat in the city centre? Ive bought before and so the first pin drop on our map was Majestic Cafe, which we took a lot of time trying to find as nobody warned us it was under construction and the beautiful entrance, we googled before, was covered in building protection sheets... When we finally did find it, after like 10 min walking up and down that road, we entered the beautiful cafe with old vintage style mirrors, dim lights and loads of tables with happy people enjoying the delicious food. We felt like Pasta Bolognese and hot chocolate to get us active and full of energy for the adventure ahead of us!
3 pm.
There we were, holding hands and under one umbrella, one with camera (guess who?) and other with maps, guiding our way through the beautiful city, surrounded by winter-naked trees and under grey skies, but so in love with the moment. We´ve visited different sorts of stuff, from library to church, famous roads, little local shops and the final destination was the Crystal Palace with its beautiful gardens and amazing view over the city - basically everywhere your parents would take you but by our own will - and this is what i loved about it..
With the sun going down, we were getting colder and hungry which meant it was time to get home and find a place for our dinner! For now this is it and here you have the photo diary!s
As promised earlier on my Photo Diary Post, ill tell you something about my outfit in detail!
Im happy to share with you that Portuguese Brand of Handmade Clutches B Simple (go like their page!) and I we are now collaborating and these sweeties send me their Blue Clutch which i just love! The texture and the material makes it easy to carry and you can put as many things there as you want! They have in different colors: Black (the classic Must have! Follow the link to purchase your simple b for beauty hihi), Green, Brown, Beige. Sometimes classy is good but other times Zebra pattern or Shiny Party clutch will catch every ones attention and guess who has such Clutches? Oh yes, B Simple´ve got it! So check their Facebook and Instagram <3
Back to my outfit: On Xmas My M gave me New Balance, and no matter how many times i told him not to give me anything, stubbed sweet-ass gave me These Beauties! Comfy, stylish - fit with everything sneakers which are my always-foot-wear hih so i wore them for the travelling, comfy and easy to take off while sitting and laying in weird positions, in small sits of the intercity train!
Simple Zara Jeans and Stradivarius Basic Top, free and loose made up a perfect travel match to the destination of my dreams and romantic plans - Porto!
Guess who took the pictures by the way? My Dear M - so credits to him and his first photoshoot <3
As you might've seen in my Instagram, if you follow ( @manyashaa) me of course, then you would've known that right now I'm typing this in a beautiful city of Porto in the north of Portugal! Some people asked me ´Hey? why are you in Porto?´ and it got me thinking.. There isn't a big explanation, as we - humans, many many centuries ago were always moving around.. the nature of human living was about travelling from one place to another in the search of food and place to stay.. They wouldn't stay in one place for long, nothing would hold them back but with development and simple discoveries they discovered how to build houses, make animals domestic animals and make families so this began to hold them back and our nature changed into more domestic humans lets say, where we have our houses and we don't travel as much. Some people managed to leave everything behind, the properties the jobs and take their loved once and travel the world in a mini van - every typical tumblr girls dream (ahah).. So M and I decided to have our getaway weekend... Sadly only weekend as I'm guessing parents of 17years old teenaged wouldn't be happy with us leaving school and them behind, but yet, we get to spend 3 days in a place we've never been before and tun into Mini versions of Dora the Explorer and discover the city of Porto. So friday 16th the day I've been waiting for for 3 or something months, counting days on my phone app and literally surviving day after day - finally happened. Early morning we took the train and our romantic adventure began!
As we got to our cozy hostel the room wasn't ready so we took advantage to visit Taylor´s place! We found ourselves drinking port wine glass after glass and loose the notion , the feeling of our feet and head on our shoulders at around 3 o clock. Here you can see the pictures i took and aren't you just in love with their ceiling? yes! Its a ceiling so colourful no need for editing even! totally #NoFilter ahah
We took a little guided walk around their warehouse and learned some new things about the making of Port, the styles and the history!
We didn't notice the time passing but yet decided to walk by the river. Gladly the weather apps were wrong and there was no rain but grey skies which wasn't that bad actually..
The views were staining, i couldn't stop taking photos but M was getting annoyed of my Blogger addiction so we decided to head to our hostel and find out what was behind the door with the name of our suite `Douro`- the name of the river! As the door opened so opened my mouth and eyes! Cozy bed, little veranda was just what we needed for 2 hour rest before the dinner!
As the sun went down and we got sober :) we headed our way to the centre of Porto city to have dinner at Burger Place - Bugo´s Burgers! Which by the way overcame our expectations! The burgers were tasy and delicious, the size is just perfect you eat it all, slowly drink strong Port and get happy heheh :) And this is what i got while we were waiting for taxi:
And now after the Photo Diary of Places enjoy photos of my happy face wearing: New Balance 300, Zara Jeans, Stadivarius Basic Loose Top, and Zara Duffle Coat with Huge Hood which made me look like an Eskimo! At least I was warm tho..
Later today Ill share with you more detailed photos of my outfit so stay tuned my lovelies and have fun wherever you are this weekend:)
Finally on the 12th day after the New Year had started i had the time and possibility to take some pics and write you something! I've been thinking a lot about blogging lately and i thought what could make it more fun than its already is!? So i thought i need to find Sponsors which will push me to take photos and have deadlines, the real deadlines so i don't disappoint them and also add something to my wardrobe because, really, i got very tired of everything in there and no matter how much I'll try to sell it all i won't have enough money to buy everything i want.. Even if there are sales :) ahah so i figured it would be best stop spending money on one night dress, or one time use top and keep everything! Freeze my credit card in a huge square of Ice like it did the girl from the "confessions of a Shopaholic' movie and wait till theres a three or even four digital number! And when this miracle finally happens I'll go have a day off to shop shop and shop! With time my style changed and this week, reviewing my Wishlists and my list of links that i save of nice clothes i realized that this is not me at all, so i Deleted all of them and going to start the new Me Wishlists! yey!:)
For today, I've tried to wear something completely new and weird for me.. as Im not very tall - 1m70 and the midi dresses that are so in fashion now don't usually look good on me, making my legs shorter and i just don't feel comfortable.. but yet, i decided to give it a try! So here you can see me in Burgundy (obviously, my fav color!) and a fur vest (yes its huge I know.. I share it with mom cos all though it was given to me i never wear it!) and shoes.. well there was a problem cos i needed to make my legs a bit longer than they seemed so i thought these boots were quite nice and all though im Russian lately Ive been completely freezing outside and these shoes have holes so i needed to add something.. Here where the socks idea comes from!
Im having mixed feelings about this outfit so i want your opinion!
P.S. Im ready to tell you a secret! I was going to wait till the actual day but i just can't keep myself calm and stop my on-going and non-stopping exciting mode! M and I we are going to Porto this weekend! Its been a long time since we planned to have our gateway trip and now we finally have the time, place and money! so stay tuned for Photo Diary Every day (there are three days only but still) and outfits outfits outfits!

Ho Ho Ho Lovelies!
A little late but i finally finished my Wishlist and some ideas and shops where to buy presents for your girl friends! All thought those shops have boy section as well! you can look through and get some ideas, but below I'll list some ideas for presents for our beloved male population of this planet :)
Ive recently become addicted to shiny sequin things! I went to research some dresses and here you have some of my favorites:
So now, finally to the Part i struggle the most every time theres an anniversary, a special date or a holiday.. Presents for boys! The fashion industry and not only, developed so feel in the girls area, you just have to walk in the shopping moll and choose anything cos we might all be same we are different but actually we are pretty same in these while boys are picky and different and you can't buy a surfer things for horse riding can you? ahah so here you have my ideas What to give to our boys? The biggest advice i could give is listen to them Sometimes you don't realize that in a civilized conversation but they might say their favorite shops or things, or things they'd wanna get and stuff like that and learn to take a note of them in your phone for example!
Lets start with the part which is more personal! If your feeling crafty to do something with your own hands you can do: 1. A Frame! Buy a simple IKEA frame and decorate it the way you want it! Put a photo or a collage with your favorite photos and stickers to make it funnier :) 2. Posters are cool too, but if you're good in drawing why not painting one of your photos? You can trace it or project on it to keep proportions and make it more real :) He'll be proud to put it u his wall! 3. Sometimes, the present it self is not as interesting as the way you present it! Once, I decided to do a Treasure Hunt in Cascais with places that meant something to us and each each stop - there were six - there was a present and a hint for the next stop! The hints could be phrases, pictures, date and he would have to drive around and find them! WARNING! They get cocky and annoying in the beginning but the happiness after the hint is completed which was in Guincho right by the time of sunset! (Perfect timing :) 4. Did you ever had those moments when you randomly decide to tell him something while for example studying and then you realize his not listening to you but to his music! So why not turn this situation around and give him Headphones, a good quality like beats for example or even Speakers, portable so he can take it anywhere! 5. Music idea got to me while i was in the place where i listen to the music most of the time - in the gym - and then i was thinking, if your boy is a Gym Addict, would be nice to give him some new equipment? New running shoes from Nike, a gym bag with devisions (make him more organized) stuff like that! 6. When i was younger, mom was obsessed with teaching my how to Knit and then in between some jokes i was dared to make wool boxers for my best friend.. i started but got bored, since I'm a very moving person and that activity required time and patience but the idea was cool and i wish i would finish it! You can also make a hat with your design, like a minion or an animal that you like to call each other or associate! Keep your boy warm in these cold rainy days :) 7. If your boy is just as crafty as you are (maybe not… ahah) you can surprise him with a new Sketchbook or album, new pens and pencils, paint or graffiti sprays! Maybe he'll make a portrait for you or an amazing graffiti with your name, just give him materials :) hihi 8. A present could be as simple as Clothing! Simple white t-shirt can be with a simple design because some complicated things are not for everyone, but if your sure he will like it, go for it! But in this situation i let my inner feeling choose the t shirt or pants for him, walking around shelfs and shops and there it is, shinning in white bright light and rising above the holders, the t shirt you see your boy in and then you know its the one! 9. As well as clothes you can give him Shoes! But they are more tricky! Take him for YOUR shoe shopping and go to shops where they gave make as well as female, notice if he looks at any, touches or you can even ask him directly but again, don't make it too obvious.. step by step find our the size, the colors, the brand, the type… :) 10. As you might've understood already, what is made by you is another level! So idea what to add to your main present would be Stickers! His favorite symbol, name or singers signature or something like that, you can order any amount and place it on his car/motorcycle, or books and around house :) Will always remind him of you! 11. To make it clear for others he's yours make it clear, personalize aPhone case with collage of your photos :) Nice and easy! 12. Notice his hobbies and things he likes to do in free time! Surfing? Its not just about the board or swimsuit but there are many other little things.. i only know fins and the thing they connect to the leg! New equipment is always nice so why not? But! We can make it more personal! I never like blank white boards so i decide to decorate Ms! You can make a Design yourself, buy posca pens and show your artsy skills! You can personalize finds as well :) You can do similar to the Skateboard if your boy is more of the Earth Type sports:) 13. Lacking Punctuality? Buy him a Watch! I personally like bossy watches or cool and practical watches for surfers, which actually doesn't have to be worn just by Surfers! 14. Does he have a motorcycle? Give him Helmet! They have amazing designs online and not only, different shapes and functions will keep your boy safe! (As i love personalized things - you can buy a simple black or white and design something on top of it :P) 15. Have you seen those tumblr posts with one of the things we all get obsessed about - smells! A new cologne would be a good thing to give! I personally love male perfume shopping, but this time you will need your heart to guide you through! looking through little bottles and different shapes there will be one which one breeze of it will remind you of him and that would be THE ONE! But be careful, don't buy him the one he has already :)
16. Be sweat! Like literally.. Sweets and chocolates are cute and easy to get, Hussel has chocolates in shapes and amazing sweets! Good addition to your presents:)
Well thats it! If i have more Ideas ill update it on my Facebook page!
Hope you have a Great Christmas and Amazing time with your loved family and friends followed by Crazy New Years Eve!
Yesterday was the day when we got to see the true angels come from the skies and show us the beautiful and magic Victoria´s Secret show! All though Ive watched all the possible instagram videos from bloggers who get to see the show from first rows, Im still watched the full show! With my ice cream and hot chocolate, my pillows and blankets, cozy sweatpants and loads of tissues i was totally ready for it! Obviosuly afterwards i was super motivated to go to the gym and run and do all the stuff to get the dream body, but once again my attempt was stopped by delicious smell coming from my kitchen and as always I said ´tomorrow´ and guess what, im sitting here, eating my cookies and writing this post... Yup, thats my life... and i hope you get me, cos i don't wanna be the only one in this daily struggle!
The show contained 6 collections and as the biggest stalker and fashion addict I've seen every ´news´from Vogue and other magazines to find these amazing pictures and choose my favourite looks from the show and after party as well:) Ive also read a lot and watched the video they´ve made.. agh they are such beauties and if some people say ´oh this photo is totally photoshopped, you can't trust magazines´these 40 or something models are true beauties! And what suprised me a lot this year that Doutzen Kroes went on the catwalk with beautifully done body after she had a baby.. all tho i just realised im getting old and that was like 2 3 years ago.. Oops, never mind!
The show was accompanied by 4 singers! Taylor Swift - who was dressed in VS as well, and actually she was looking pretty good ;) Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and Hozier!
OMG! Btw, have you seen the endless amount of memes that were recently made, with Arianas scared face when one of the angles touched her with the wings! Poor Ariana, the face she made gone viral, see for yourself:
well, her face is just one thing, but Ariana doesn't stop surprising us with new things and making us laugh! During the performance Young Grande told Ed a pretty dirty joke! Read what he said for !E
"It was fun, but I kind of felt like the hobbit in the elven kingdom!" Sheeran joked. "Can I tell you why I was laughing? Basically, there were all these big inflatable bouncy black balls that are bouncing around in the crowd on the finale bit. Ariana Grande comes and stands up next to me and just looks at me and goes, 'I love big black balls.'"
LOL!
"In my head I was like, 'If she knows what that means, then I love her, and if she doesn't know what that means, it's even better!" the 23-year-old added.
Who knew Grande was so raunchy?!
***
I was researching something for you and look what i found (has nothing to do with what i was actually trying to find but still..)
A video that some of the Angles have done with Taylors song - Shake it Off
(which i sincerely hate and can't hear anymore because its aaaaalways on the radio! Sorry Swift fans :/)
.
What i was actually researching, were the fun and interesting facts about the Shows which were going on since 1995!!
Did you know that Tyra Banks ->
.. was actually a Victorias Secret Angel for around 4 years starting from 1996!! 3 years later Adriana Lima joined Angels team and she's one of them since them!
And she got to wear one of the biggest and heaviest wings! Which speaking off here you have other 8 biggest wings from previous shows and 1 which were worn this show by Lindsay Ellingson!
Before i go onto telling you my favourite looks of this season, here you have 1 more fact!
In 1996 Victorias Secret has created a Fantasy Bra, which first was warn by Claudia Schiffer and its price was 1,000,000 dollars! Can you imagine?? It was even called Million Dollar Miracle Bra!
Throughout 19 years and 20 bras, here you have my favourite ones and their prices!
1. Tyra Banks, Heavenly ´70´ fantasy bra, for 10,000,000! #Pricey
2. Hearts on Fire Diamond Fantasy Bra worn by Karolina Kurkova for 6,500,000! #StillPricey
3.Fantasy Treasure Bra, worn by Miranda Kerr and it costs 2,500,000 #NotSoPricey
4. and Lastly Candice Swanepoel wearing Royal Fantasy bra last year for 10,000,000! #PriceyAgain
and here you have the two Fantasy Bra sets worn by Alessanda Ambrosio and Adriana Lima from the collection - Exotic Traveller! Each worth 2,000,000!
Wanna know what was the most #Pricey one?
Red Hot Fantasy Set worn by Gisele Bundchen in 2000, which is worth *drumroll* 15,000,000!
Well, now, i can finally show you my favourite looks, sets and angels of the Victorias Secret show 2014 in London!
