Look of the Day: Homies

We had a lovely sunny day yesterday and, since it's not summer anymore, I'm trying to grab every opportunity to wear color before I desert to my blacks and grays. I don't recollect wearing something made by a Ukrainian brand on the blog, so this has to be a first!

I'm wearing: 

Coat - NowIStyle

Jumper - Be! Trendy (available for Russian fashionistas here)

Leggings - Choies

Boots - Zara (similar ones here, here and here)

Bag - H&M (similar bags here, here and here)

Look of the Day: Leather and Leopard

I actually find leopard print quite intimidating, I mean I really like it in small doses on other people but, judging from my first year of blogging experience I can totally go overboard with it (don't even try to look for the posts in question, they've been safely deleted so as not to freak out any new readers that might accidentally stumble upon them :D) Anyways, since this whole style blogging is about challenging yourself, even if only just a little, here's my take on leopard print circa 2013. Hope you like it!

I'm wearing:

Leather jacket - Zara (a very similar one here)

Dress - Sheinside

Bag - Asos (in white here, similar ones here, here and here)

Boots - Zara (similar ones here, here, here and here)

Sunday Cravings: Fall 2013 Trends - Classic Plaid

 (images via 21, WeWoreWhat, The Sartorialist, AngelicaBlick, A Portable Package, StockholmStreetstyle, LovelyPepa, Kayture, SongOfStyle, tumblr)

Plaid has to be one of the safest fall winter trends - it's huge every year so I'd definitely call it classics. Last fall we've seen it in all possible colors, but what's in this year is the traditional red tartan plaid - a timeless print that is very likely to last for many years (fashion-wise). 

How do you guys feel about plaid? Do you have anything plaid in your closet?

Look of the Day: Hippy Vibes

This is officially the first time I'm wearing a lipstick on the blog and in my adult life :D I have always been neglecting this product for two reasons: I don't like how if feels on my lips and I don't like to accentuate the asymmetry of my lips! However, when I came to the MAC store to pick up a foundation, I couldn't resist testing this color as I though it would be perfect to spice up my fall looks. So I ended up getting this one along with two other colors, not sure if I'll use the crap out of them, but I think the time has come to move to bigger and better things :) 

What about you? Are you a lipstick person?

I'm wearing:

Blazer - Zara (similar ones here, here and here)

Blouse - VJstyle

Skirt - Chicwish

Bag - vintage

Watch - Michael Kors

Boots - Zara (similar ones here and here)

Lipstick - MAC Sheen Supreme in Sweet Grenadine (the color in the pictures slightly differs due to editing)

Look of the Day: Ballinciaga

I love the new trend of messed up brand logos like this Ballinciaga dress that immediately caught my eye. Another thing I love is smock silhouettes so obviously I had to get my hands on this piece. Some of my instagram followers have already seen these boots from the H&M's Paris collection that already became my favorites. I really wanted to get them is suede as well, but unfortunately they were nowhere to be found so until I find a suitable replacement the leather ones will have to do :)

I'm wearing:

Dress - Choies

Jacket - Sheinside

Boots and bag - H&M

Watch - Pink Naples from Rapp

I'm wearing:

Blazer - VJstyle

It hasn't been too long since I introduced hats into my wardrobe for the very first time. I used to think I look awful in them until I found the style that suited me. It's totally like finding your shade of a red lipstick (which I started using as well, but on to that later)!

Anyways, while I'm anxiously waiting for the mailman to bring my new hat investment, which by the way should have arrived days ago, I thought I'd share with you some pictures of the hottest girls out there rocking all kinds of hats and also give you some ideas on where you can find them online :)
