Wardrobe Update – Zara Haul

May

2013

I finally went shopping this weekend. I went with a list, because I don’t like to get sidetracked, and to avoid getting things that I may only wear once or with one other item in my wardrobe.. I used to make that mistake often, but with age comes wisdom. Anyway, I ‘ve looked for a ...

Track of the Week – Don’t Move

May

2013

The photos above are my documentation of a crazy stunt pulled by a bunch of masked hooligans in the heart of Lviv yesterday. They ran out throwing lights and smoke machines that resulted in a bit of chaos, but the sight itself was actually sick! I hope that stuff wasn’t toxic.. This week’s wonderful track is Phantogram’s ...

Cityscape

May

2013

Though I am Ukrainian, I’ve only been to a handful of cities around the country, but always in the west or central Ukraine. This weekend I had the opportunity to finally go southeast, and explore Zaporizhia, my bf’s hometown and a new city for me. It’s a very industrial city, that’s famous for its metallurgy industry. Its main ...

Dress to Impress

May

2013

I’m back in Lviv, and the weather has been perfect! My pale legs are finally getting some sun! I had this black dress for a year or so, and only wore it once before. The problem is, that the neckline is pretty primitive and even looks a little junior. However, I’ve always loved the lacy ...

Track of the Week – Walnut Tree 1

May

2013

Keane’s Walnut Tree is an oldie (2004) but a goodie. I’ve never been a big fan of Keane, and it’s not because there’s something wrong with them, but I just didn’t connect with their music. That is until I heard this beautiful track in a taxi a few days ago. I had to Shazam it because ...

Hometown Visit

May

2013

I’m in my hometown now! I was born in Brody, a really small town in Western Ukraine. I grew up here, and then moved to Toronto with my mother when I was almost five. Brody was first mentioned in history in 1084, and has a population of a little less than 25ooo people. The rest ...

Neon Leopard Army

May

2013

I wore an army jacket, and leopard flats with neon accents. I’ve really done it. I’ve combined every possible trend into one outfit! Just kidding, not every trend.. but three is a lot! In my defence I consider army green and leopard neutral. :) Wearing: Mango army jacket, Pull & Bear tank, Miss Sixty white jeans, Pretty ...

Wind In My Hair

Apr

2013

I just had the best time!! I met up with my bf after his bike ride to take some pictures of him in his gear, and then I stole the bike from him and rode around the neighbourhood. I haven’t biked for over a year, and I forgot how much I miss it! Plus, this ...

Rebecca Minkoff Swing Bag 3. See by ...
