MODERN DANDY

 Recently I have found an interesting video on one YouTube channel dedicated to this topic. In fact, it was related to men. But I have an peculiar love to male items of cloth and accessories. Recently I've met a boy who has 3 of the same pairs of shoes as me and he asked me if it is him to be too feminine. Today these borders are absolutely blurred. A lot of fashion houses does not divide their runway shows exclusively on "men" and "women", a lot of women dress like men and the world include them into lists of "it-girls". I believe that it is becoming more and more popular today because: a) it gives more diversity to your style and b) it is very intellectual and smart component of personal style to build your look so that you will look feminine in men's clothing.
During several years of this passion I came up with some most important rules (in fact, I can talk about it for hour!). It should include a lot of details like neat (optionally, messy) hair, accurate hands (especially hands with nice but not glaring manicure), feminine perfume, may be some lipstick or eyeliner (choose only one). The rest depends only on your tastes.
Also the most important advice is: even though, you wear masculine cloth, you should act 100 times more feminine comparing to those times, when you wear a dress with heels and a lipstick.

TO BE A LIBERTINE


This look is my ode to the one and only band "the Libertines". So this post you won't find words about fashion, but another very important words for every young person:

To Be A Libertine
I know what it means
To be a Libertine...
I know what it means
To be a Libertine...
Driven Forgiven
Zero F***s given
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Illuminated
Silver-plated
Abused Misused
Forsaken & Fated
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Spat on
Shat on
Kept my
Hat on
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Broken Chokin'
Almost Croakin’
Look at me
Iv’e come back smoking’
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Time for heroes
Weird not weirdoes
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Do you Love Albion
This fine nation
Hate Boredom
Fear & desperation
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Have you heard
The Rock & Roll?
Classless British
& no control
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Something truthful
Something raw
Something worth
Living for...
I know what it means
To be a Libertine
Obsessions redemptions
& deepest confessions
I know what it means
To be a Libertine...

TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT

Initially this dress that I bought in Mango during sale had extremely deep neck. I could have left it and wear this dress only for some special occasions, but I could not wait to wear it as soon as possible (even for a warm evening walk with my friends to the nearest wine bar). So I decided to change it in a way that will suit my personality and make it not "occasion-dependent". And here it comes. Airy, light, girly dress that is modest enough. And to return this dress into the festive category you can just simply put a collar necklace (as I decided here) or a fur collar (for more cold seasons), just to make it look like in old films, because the waist line of this dress reminds of dresses that were popular in 1940s).

Это платье я купила на распродаже в магазине Mango. Первоначально у него был очень глубокий вырез... Я могла бы оставить его только для особенных случаев, но я не могла дождаться, когда я смогу его надеть (даже просто для прогулки тёплым вечером с друзьями до ближайшего винного бара). Поэтому я решила модернизировать его в соответствии со своим внутренним мироощущением и сделать его "независимым от случая". И вот что получилось. Воздушное, легкое, девичье и достаточно скромное платье. Чтобы вернуть его в категорию "выходного костюма" достаточно всего лишь надеть ожерелье воротник (как в моем случае) или меховую горжетку (больше подойдёт для более прохладного времени года), чтобы сделать образ похожим на образы фильмов 40-х годов, потому как линия талия этого платья как раз напоминает платья этой эпохи.

BOLOGNA

Somebody may call me a barbarian, but I decided to see Bologna during only several hours. During my trip to Italy I was with my parents. So it was difficult for me to find the balance between relaxing on the beach and exploration of Italian cities. So here are some top places to see in Bologna if you don't have much time. But this city, for sure, require much more time! 
Clever people in the past knew that a big amount of archs between the buildings will help them to survive heat during Italian summer. So it was really cool then even though it was +35 degrees! The city was empty at the time we arrived (siesta time) and I was free to make photos without waiting for perfect composition. But also siesta time is not that positive because it is really difficult to find a place to eat, so we were on an "ice-cream and coffee" diet that day (really nice when you're in Italy).
You should simply walk, stroll and look around to feel the beauty of Bologna. It is a city to live not to visit. Try to live like locals, eat like them and drink coffee like them, enjoy life the same way as they. People in Italy can for sure find beaty in every second and take pleasure in life. It is #1 lesson that people around the world should learn from Italian people while visiting this beautiful country!

BEFORE AUTUMN

Two days before autumn starts I decided to put on the most "summer", effortless and airy dress I have. It is not a usual look for me: here I wear both dress and heels at the same time. But sometimes you may allow yourself to be a girl (just several days before you'll start wearing coats till the next spring). So enjoy the last summer days!

RIMINI

The Adriatic Riviera is one of the most beatiful coasts in Italy. And it's main city is Rimini. Rimini is both popular among Italian and foreign people. For sure this place have some unique pearls: Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge that were built during the Roman Empire. The Tiberius Bridge, for example, is still functioning as a bridge across the river both for cars and people!
Legendary film director- Federico Fellini was born here. Rimini was a set for one of his film "Amarcord". So if you want to feel yourself a character of Fellini's films- visit this pretty city and have a walk around it's beautiful old town. 
Below you can also find some places to visit and where to eat.

ASIA INSPIRED

Since my last post of the ootd a lot of time has passed and my view on dressing myself has changed. Mostly these changes are connected with my university. In autumn I will be 4th yaer student of phamaceutical faculty. I had very specific vision of fashion earlier, I had more free time and I spent it on making every detail of my look unique and unusual. And when you're a teenager it is easy to look like a freak. When I reached my 20s I faced that a freak with white coat upward is not really appropriate appearance. But situation is not that pessimistic. So from now I want to reveal how to balance the freak inside you and mature person outside.
To start with (after the long break), I want to show you just a dress. It is just a win-win situation, especially with such pretty "asian-style" sleeves and print.

WARSAW

I have been living in Poland for 1 year now and I visited Warsaw, it's capital, only today. I have been there several times, but only as a tourist. Now I can speak Polish language quite well, and I have different feelings during traveling around Poland. I already can call it my second home.
Power and majesty in concrete. Architecture of socialistic past in concentrated form. It is one of the main reason to visit Warsaw.
Actually, it was my first time in sunny Warsaw. So pictures look much more positive than usually.
