Good morning guys! Today I woke up earlier than usual, at 8.30. To be honest, when I’m home, I can wake up at 11, or even 13, but when I’m here, at my grandmother’s, I wake up at 9. I have breakfast, and then we go to the market, which is open until 12. Today we bought some healthy food: apples, cottage cheese and several kilograms of berries: black currant, red currant, raspberries and blueberries. And now I decided to make a post. About food.
A few days ago I decided to restart a website. No, it doesn’t mean that all the previous posts will be removed and the site will change its design. No. I just decided to start giving due attention to my website
Yesterday my grandma was making blackcurrant jam.The process was spectacular! 11 cups of berries were floating in a copper basin, we added some sugar and stirred it. What can I say about the color, I don’t even know how to express my delight! The color was fantastic. (Look at the picture below) Then we poured it into the jars. I love jam, so it was very exciting to watch and even participate in the process:) There are many different kinds of jam, there are many different people with different tastes. I prefer the sea buckthorn and apricot jam. I’m crazy about them. And what about you, what is your favorite kind of jam?
Today I’d like to write something about jeans. Well, here are 3 photos of me in 80-90’s style jeans. I love them, because they are very comfortable and you can wear them with whatever you want.
With what to wear:
Talking about jeans, I can say that high-waisted jeans are the most comfortable jeans in the world. If they are a bit big for you, you can use belts. Adding to the points of comfort of this type, I can say that you can wear it wherever you want and with everything you want. I wore (here) them with simple blue top and simple black belt. There are a lot different jeans in shops like Pull&Bear, but you can also find some really good vintage ones in thrift shops in your city.
The color:
Sometimes there is a problem choosing the right color of your dream-jeans. They can be dark blue, or black, white, or light blue as mine. It depends on you and the clothes you have. I prefer light blue, because they are quite nice and I have a lot of clothes which can be matched with these jeans. Also I think, they can be recreated in the future: I can stick some funny termo-stickers, patches or sparkles on them; I can makeBeverly Hills 90210 style shorts or use parts of the jeans to make something new.
That’s everything I wanted to tell you about jeans for now.
Today was a weird day. We decided to buy my first Dr.Martens boots. I had searched for the location of the shop before, so we went right there. We didn’t find the shop, which was near GUM. The paper on the door said that a new shop had moved to Pushkinskaya. When we arrived there, we needed to walk a bit, searching for the new shop. Finally, we found it.
The shop was pretty nice, because there were so many Martens! It’s my heaven, really.
I wanted to buy black matte boots, but we bought black smooth instead. I like my new Martens, but I truly believe that I will be able to buy one more pair soon.
Yesterday I found my grandma’s red striped blouse. When I was trying it on six months or a year ago, it did’t fit me, that was why I was a bit upset.
But this time was different. I put it on, and realized that it was right for me! It was so cool, you would know! Later I remembered that I have a burgundy skirt and red belt with a very nice buckle. All things united in one set. I really like the result, as well as my mom and grandmother do.
Maybe about a year or two ago I have found my little bible. Since that moment I’ve begun to love the style of 80-90’s and not only. It’s cool, because of colorful outfits, plastic vinyl players, The Smiths, Twin Peaks, funny patterns, special music. I love all that with all my heart. It’s not so popular in Russia yet.
Hey! How do you “collect” your dreams? Do you? Cause I have a lot of dreams and thoughts. So not long ago I’ve created a new way for me(!) of collecting my “dreams and thoughts”. COLLAGING!
There are two themes of collaging for me (just for now):
room design
my ‘wishlist’
SO HOW CAN I MAKE MY OWN COLLAGE?
1. Choose a theme.
It can be your own ‘wishlist’, your thoughts about something very special, ideas for the presents to your friends and family. !WHATEVER!
2. Choose materials.
You like brown ‘craft’ paper or basic white? Colored or b&w? Will you draw with pencils, pens or markers? Do you like decorating stuff with glitter or do you like minimalism? Maybe there will be some pink sparkles? Or not? Choose what you like. Don’t try to make your collage to look like somebody else’s, don’t forget about your individuality!
3. Pics or photos.
I like to cut off different pictures from the magazines, ‘mix and match’ them, and then glue them. Some people like to put photos of themselves or people they like. Somebody likes… Glue what you want:)
4. Find a comfortable space. It can be your table, your bed, armchair in the kitchen or your wardrobe 🙂 5. Search for inspirational pics. If you have some inspiration it will be easier for you to understand what you want. Now you are ready. I wish you GOODLUCK! P.S.: send photos of your collages in comments. I’m very interested<3 Love
Those photos were made after our school event. We were walking with my Mum in the city-center, It was rainy, but it was pretty cool, I needed to wear classic office clothes, so I decided towear creamy silk blouse, black wool skirt, yellow boots, grey cozy scarf, grey hat and my favorite grey coat from Zara. I felt very comfortable, even there was bad weather. I don’t really like dark colors like grey, but sometimes they look gorgeous. And now, when it’s autumn it’s cool to wear grey! See you
