My outfits of 2014

 
Hello, my dears! It seems that I didn't write here for ages. If you follow me on Instagram you know, that I was in Paris during the last 10 days, so I couldn't write any posts. I will tell about that trip and show you outfits from it in the next year already and now I'd like to recollect all my outfits from 2014:)
This year was very important for my blog, as I decided to post more often. Although it's still not as often as I want:) It was interesting to see all these outfits all together and I hope it will be interesting for you too:)

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

This sweater is definitely the epitome of Christmas and New Year:) And I'm sure it's impossible not to like this sweater!) I found it in the second hand store almost for nothing, and that's another reason to love it.

It's half past two in the morning now and I'm writing this post. Tomorrow (or it's better to say "today") I'm going to fly abroad and I'm very-very excited! I'm sure it would be magical time.

Do you want to know where I'm going? Follow me on Instagram (@nastiapoberezhna) and you will be the first person to know it!)

Getting Christmas Mood for Dummies

Do you like this time of the year the same as I do? Believe me, you'll have enough time to complain about winter and its cold weather. But for now, at least till Christmas and New Year, try to concentrate on good things about winter (yes, they do exist!).

1) Wear Christmas sweaters! If you don't have at least one nice Christmas sweater, no wonder you don't like winter:)

2) Listen to all the famous songs about New Year and Christmas. Or just find on the Internet soundtracks for Home Alone:)

3) Watch Home Alone!) As long as I remember myself, I always watch these movies. Except them, I rewatch films about Harry Potter and animated musical film Anastasia (I like it not only because of the name:D)

4) Drink cocoa with marshmellows! If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much I love it<3

5) Bake ginger cookies or some delicious pie:) 

6) Go to the open air skating rink (that's my plan for this winter).

7) Decorate your room with string lights. You will love it, I promise.

And just have fun and stay positive.

Wish you to have the best winter holidays ever!:)

LOOK Studio review

What should I wear? Where can I buy it? What is the price of that cute coat? What is trendy these days? What can I wear this dress with?
I'm sure you also ask yourself these questions (unless you are a witch and know what to wear when you look into your wardrobe!).

Once you visit LOOK Studio site, you'll never ask those questions again:)

I love/hate you, winter!

My favorite season is not winter, I guess it's spring. But only in winter, or rather during the time before New Year, I feel so happy for no reason! I can be the happiest person in the world only because of listening to Christmas songs:)

But, unfortunately, everything cannot be so wonderful. I'm talking about wearing tights underneath your pants:D For me that's one of the biggest tortures!) So far I wore them only once (and simply because I had short pants)  - the result you can see in these photos. 

Thanks for the photos to great Anna<3 

Pink Skirt

Probably you haven't noticed that, but when I understood it I was a little bit shocked. Together with this one I have now 6 outfits with a skirt in a row. I guess I cannot say "I don't wear skirts" anymore, as it would be definitely a lie:D

Let me introduce myself my skirt. This pink (yes, not only that I wear skirts, I wear pink skirts!) is just a pure perfection. I love everything about it - its color, material, shape. Everything. It works as a bright spot during my not-always-bright week days.

How often do you wear not typical for you clothes?:)

Thanks for the photo to my talented Tanya Olifirenko<3

Winter is Coming

Winter is the time when you have to wrap yourself in order not to be cold, when you don't know how to cope with electrified hair and when it's really difficult to take outfit pictures outside:D

But I love winter for all its magical atmosphere before New Year and Christmas. I like walking under falling snowflakes, drinking cocoa in warm cafes, when it's so cold outside, I like decorated streets and houses, I like waiting for a miracle every year, I like wearing Christmas sweaters and million of other cute little things!:)

This outfit was very spontaneous, as the previous night I was planning to wear completely different clothes. But when I woke up in the morning I saw a snow covered city and had to change my plans. However I'm happy with the result:)

Do you like winter?)

Thanks for the photo to sweet Ania<3

Parka and Hat

Today in Kyiv we have our first snow. However, I'm showing you the pictures that were taken a couple of days ago. Without snow yet:)

The perception of weather is completely different when you think about the necessity of taking outfit photos. Problems start at home in front of the opened wardrobe, when you realize that somehow you have to dress warmly and not-like-the-biggest-cabbage-in-the-world at the same time. While taking photos you understand that you need to do your best already from the first shots, before your photographer's hands turn into ice. All in all, winter is definitely not the blogger's best friend:D 

But I start waiting for New Year and all it's magical atmosphere. "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..." :)

Thanks for the photos to beautiful Ania<3

Double Green Check

I'm not the biggest fan of dresses, but sometimes I fall in love with some. Today's dress is definitely one of them! I wear it quite often and it was a great surprise for me when I realized that I've shown it in the blog only once. But even that one time I wore it as a skirt (you can see it here).

So I've decided to right a wrong and show it in all its glory:))

Thanks for the photos to my amazing Dasha<3

Autumn Mood

I strongly believe that it's super easy to look like a million if you have that million in the pocket. But when you can't afford spending a ton of money on clothes you have to be more inventive when creating different outfits. 

I belong to the category of people who need to think twice before buying some clothes in the shop. That's why I like second hand stores so much. If you are lucky enough, you can find there some awesome garments. 

Oversized coat, trendy turtleneck sweater, great navy skirt and a crossbody bag - all these things I've bought on second hand. And my wallet was very happy:)

Thanks for the photos to wonderful Ania<3 

P.S. Have you noticed that I almost managed to walk on this shot?:D

Two colored outfit

I have a question to the bloggers. Something that I really don't understand. How on earth can you walk on your shots??:D I tried, and I tried not once) But all the time I either have some strange facial expression, or the picture is blurred, or I'm out of focus. Do you really walk or you just pretend?

Pleeeeease, let me in on the secret! I promise not to tell anyone:D

Anyway, if one day you see in my blog a photo where I'm not just standing but actually moving, congratulate me) Let's hope that this day will come.

Thanks for the photos to wonderful Ania<3

Foggy outfit

If to be honest, I don't like long texts in fashion blogs. I rarely read them when I look through new posts (only if a blogger is really interesting for me) and I don't write them here. I like looking at beautiful photos and reading something like "today I wore this skirt with these shoes". For me that is a perfect blog's format. Although I understand that for many people text is probably the most interesting thing. 

And as all of us should stay true to ourselves.. here's my text. Today I've decided to wear simple look in dark colors. I went for my favorite grey coat, as the weather was pretty warm, black skinny jeans and my BFF black hat. Blue shirt works as a bright spot in this foggy kingdom.

Wish you to be strong during this working week!:)

Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days S/S 2015

Traditionally, when Ukrainian Fashion Week is over, all the insiders of fashion industry wait for Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days. 

This year I visited MBKFD for the first time in my life and already as the press. You cannot even imagine how excited I was when I received a letter with the confirmation of my press accreditation! That was one of those moments when you understand that everything you do is not in vain.

All the dreams should come true and this time my blog helped me to bring them to life.

The first day of MBKFD was on Friday and unfortunately I couldn't visit it because of my work. But I'm very happy that I managed to come on Saturday and on Sunday, as seeing fashion shows with my own eyes makes me one of the happiest people ever!

Red Pants in Autumn

Maybe I wear hats far too often, maybe. But I thought that soon it's going to be winter and I will wear only different beanies, no hats at all, and I have the full right to enjoy the last days of them. Soo, here is another outfit with my black hat:)

I've already had outfits with this coat here and here, and I must say that so far this is my most favorite coat ever. And the fact that I found it on second hand almost for nothing makes it even more genious.

Thanks for the photo to stylish Anna:* 

Big sweater is watching you

When it comes to clothes, girls may be very inventive and I can say even sly (shh!). Our wardrobe is definitely not enough for us. Too many clothes? Never heard of such a thing:D 

That's why we always try to find some ways how to make the wardrobe bigger. Boyfriend jeans? Nothing weird, we all have a pair of those (or maybe two pairs. or three). Mom jeans? Can't imagine our lives without them. And now we have big oversized sweaters, that look as if they were taken from our fathers' wardrobes.  

My today's sweater is probably too bright for my father, but the size of it would fit him perfectly:)

Thanks for the photos to my talented Alyona Lobanova<3

Childish sweater

Sometimes we all wanna come back to our carefree childhood, when we didn't have to do anything. Playing with friends (without any mobile phones, haha), watching favorite cartoons (mine was Rugrats:D) and a little bit of studying (that seemed to be serious!). I am really thankful to my parents for my happy childhood. 

Sweater with different cartoon characters is a good way to forget about all your troubles at least for some time. 

P.S. Look, how much Tom wants that coffee:D

Thanks for the photos to Alyona Lobanova<3

Ukrainian Fashion Week s/s 2015

I love fashion weeks. Mostly for their atmosphere! When you see so many stylish people in one place, some celebrities who you saw only on TV, famous designers, models and photographers - what else do you need to be happy? I didn't take my camera with me, so I have photos only from my phone and from some sites. But I will remember everything even without any photos:)

With fashion photographer Tanya Olifirenko <3

In dark colors

Ukrainian Fashion Week is over already. Unfortunately I couldn't visit all days of it because of my work, so I've been there only during the 1st and the 4th days and visited 3 shows. I will write a separate post about it:)

And now we are all waiting for Mercedez-Benz Kiev Fashion Days, that will be from the 31th of October till the 2nd of November on NSC Olimpiyskiy. Can't wait for it already!

Burgundy, grey and black - that was my choice for one autumn day. Finally I've got a chance to wear my favorite grey coat, as I have been waiting for this moment during the whole summer!:) 

Actually, this outfit is all about my favorite things - grey skinny jeans, biker boots and this black beanie. 

Btw, I've decided to make my photos here bigger in size, hope you like the result:)

P.S. My congratulations, as it's friday today!:D 

Thanks for the photos to Tanya Olifirenko<3

Almost boho chic

These photos were taken during one great morning - I had a meeting with my adorable friends Alyona and Ann, we ate very delicious pizza for breakfast, drank coffee, walked around the centre of Kyiv and watched "Gone Girl" in the cinema. That was one of those perfect mornings when you're absolutely happy.

Probably this outfit has something in common with boho style, that is so popular nowadays. Denim shirt, cozy cardigan, brown hat and boots. Mmm, what else do you need to feel comfortable? Perhaps only warm autumn around.

Thanks for the photos to my lovely Alyona Lobanova<3

Biker jacket, Checkered Skirt

Hi, how are you doing there?:) It's one in the morning on my clock, I have to get up early tomorrow and I've decided that it's high time to write a post. Why not, after all? 

About one hour ago I was baking cookies for my friends, also nothing strange in that. Ordinary situation:D 

To my list of things I'm-totally-in-love-with this biker jacket has been added. I wear it way too often, I suppose. But as usual, I'm helpless:) 

Thanks for the photos to Tanya Olifirenko:) 

Ethnic cardigan

For some reason I associated this outfit with Pocahontas. I was really sure that these clothes are similar to what she wore. So I was very surprised when I saw her pictures on the Internet: summer dress, no cardigan and flowing hair. Well, we are all wrong sometimes:D

I can say that I'm pretty lucky with this outfit: the hat and the bag are presents from my lovely friends, the dress and these boots have been bought on sale and this cardigan I've found on second hand. Not bad, right?:) 

Thanks for these beautiful photos to Tanya Olifirenko<3 

Oversized trenchcoat

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - those are the words on my t-shirt. And those are the words said by Leonardo da Vinci. 

Looking great in simple clothes - that's what I always admired in people around me. And that's what I aspire to.

Military style becomes more and more popular nowadays. When you are talking about this style it's impossible not to mention trenchcoats, as they first appeared during the wartime. 

Khaki pants, heavy boots, black hat - and you're ready to fight for your place in this world. 

Thanks for the photos to beautiful Ania<3 (btw, check out her blog, she's got a great style!)

Street Style 11.

My photos of stylish people from Kyiv streets! Enjoy:) 

Biker jacket is love

I've been craving for a biker jacket for who-knows-how-long and eventually I've got this babe!

First leather jackets appeared as protective garments for riders, but, of course, other people couldn't help noticing that this piece of clothes was so awesome:)

It's so easy to wear them, as they go well practically with everything!

Just try it on and it will be difficult to imagine your life without one.

Thanks for the photos to my friend Ira<3

Bowler hat, ladies and gentlemen

Sir Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, and the Riddler from Batman... What did they have in common? That's right, a bowler hat! 

Bowler hats were created back in the 1840s, when British soldier and politician William Coke ordered this kind of a hat for his gamekeepers. Before that they had worn top hats, but such a design allowed them to ride under low-hanging branches in the forest. At fisrt bowler hats were taken as a part of the work uniforms, until Edward VII made them fashionable.

I cannot imagine my wardrobe life without hats! Without them almost every outfit seems boring and unfinished and I can't do anything about that. 

Thanks for the photos to Tanya Olifirenko<3  

Let's talk about cardigans

Cardigans seem to be perfect for autumn weather. When it's not very cold yet to wear coats and it's already not so warm as it was in summer, throwing on a cardigan is the best solution. 

Cardigans were named so after a British officer James Thomas Brudenell, the 7th Earl of Cardigan. Later this garment became very popular among fishermen in the 17th century, who wore it to keep warm. Who borrowed this piece from men's wardrobe into ladies' one? That's right, genious Coco. 

It's a little bit unfair that with the latest passion for mom's jeans we started to forget about boyfriend jeans. So I've decided to change that by combining them with a brown hat, my favorite Cambridge Satchel bag, a tank top and, of course, the hero of the hour - cardigan. Hope yoy like the result.

New York in my dreams

Sometimes girls may fall in love with celebrities that they saw only in some pictures or in the screen. I have the same story with the city-of-my-dreams New York. However I've never dreamed to live there permanently, I just want to have a chance to visit it from time to time. I would be the happiest person in the world. So it's not difficult to guess why I adore this sweatshirt.

Originally used for doings sports, sweatshirts are worn nowadays practically with everyting: pencil skirts, classical pumps or over some girlish dresses. Piece that you really must have in your wardrobe. 

Thanks for the photos to my Julia<3

Blue shirt, denim skirt

Weather in Kyiv is very unpredictable nowadays. Today it may be very warm and on the next day you already want to put on you as much clothes as you can. So you always have to be prepared for any kind of weather conditions:)

This outfit is quite summerish, so to say. Which is very logical, considering it's autumn already:D But what can I do, that's just me.

Thanks for the photos to my beautiful friend Ira<3

Autumn is here

Hello, autumn! Eventually, you are here:) Time for reading Vogue September Issue, wearing our favorite sweaters and oversized coats, spending cozy evenings with coffee in little cafes and waiting for golden leaves outside. Everything is just magical! (if you are positive enough not to think about negative sides of autumn, like long rains and cold wind:D)

In this outfit I combined top with transparent sleeves, gorgeous navy skirt (that I found on second hand and which became one of my favorite pieces in the wardrobe!) and my hat. Sometimes I think that I have too many outfits with this hat, but still I can't do anything about that. I'm helpless:)

Anyway, I wish you to have the best autumn ever!

Thanks for the photos to wonderful Tanya<3 

Hat - Dots

Today is Friday and it means that most people will have their long-awaited weekend. Not me, however. I usually work on Saturdays, but I'm not complaining as I love my job:)

Recently I've really been into simple outfits like this one, for instance. Polka dot blouse, skinny jeans and my favorite hat. Well, and coffee-to-go in my hands, of course. Do you like coffee like I do?:)

Thanks for the photos to my beautiful friend and talented photographer Alyona <3

Check pencil skirt

Have you ever noticed that your taste changes? I remember days when I refused wearing high-waisted jeans, because they were "too high":) And now I cannot imagine my life without my favorite pairs of mom's jeans.

The same with skirts - I've never been a fan of them, but recently I've started to wear them more and more. And the good thing here is that I feel pretty comfortable in them:) 

It is said that the first designer who introduced the pencil skirt was Christian Dior. And although my skirt has nothing to do with Dior, I'm still in love with it. 

Thanks for the photos to my friend Julia (who, by the way, drew the girl on the top of my blog:))

Stripes we all adore

My love to stripes is eternal. I cannot even imagine any pattern that is more perfect than this one! Back in history stripes were considered to be appropriate only for the lowest levels of society, like prisoners, hangmen or prostitutes. But fortunately everything has changed! One of the reasons why stripes started being taken as chic and ellegant was, of course, Coco Chanel. Once she saw sailors in their navy-and-white striped shirts and was inspired by that. So we can be definitely only thankful for that:)

With my beloved stripes I've decided to wear this green midi skirt, shoulder bag and my favorite cut out ankle boots.

Have a great week!

Black and Red

Hey there!:) I hope you are having some nice time this summer:) As I told before, I don't like summer, and one of the reasons for this is the fact, that I don't have holidays anymore. When I was in school or university summer was always associated with free time and doing nothing. Now, after finishing my university, I don't have this reason to love summer. I'm looking forward to the 1st of September, as for the last 15 years it will be the fisrt time when I don't need to go to my studyings. Another reason to love autumn:)

As for the outfit, I combined black 7/8 length cropped pants, red top with some mesh, one of my favorite pairs of shoes and golden details. 

Thanks for the photo to Alyona Lobanova

Vogue, baguette and midi skirt (style by me)

What can be better than working with your best friends? Definitely only working with your talented best friends!:) An amazing photographer Alyona Lobanova and my beautiful Irina Zadorneva are everything I could have dreamed of. People who understand you, support you, and whom you love. Isn't that just perfect? I believe it is.

Hope you like the result!

Evening on the roof

Watching sunsets is one of the best things in the world. Watching sunsets on the roof is even better! Wonderful time of the day, when everything becomes truly magical. 

And I can say that my bag is kind of magical too:) It's very big and comfortable, so I can carry in it all the stuff that I may need during the day. I'm just in love<3

Thanks for the photos and company to my friend Danny

Summer confessions

For some people it would be definitely strange to hear, but I don't like summer. Sometimes it even seems to me that I hate summer. I don't like traditional summer rest, like lying on the beach, swimming in the sea (cannot even swim, actually:D), I don't like hot weather and so on and so forth. That is why I try to ignore summer as much as I can, even in my outfits:) 

Mom jeans, autumn boots, and not-very-summer top - that's how I spent one summer day

Denim and Stripes (style by me)

We should do what we love, right? Making money is important, of course, but you can be happy only by following your dreams and passion. I have a permanent job as a teacher, but for as long as I can remember I wanted to be a stylist. After graduating my university I have definitely more free time, so I decided  it's high time to act. I am grateful to everyone who supports me in this.

Charlie Sheen and me

Hey there!:) Eventually I'm writing a new post after quite a long pause. Unfortunately, I had some serious problems with my laptop (I will tell you only one thing - DO NOT drink tea near your laptop, otherwise you will need a new one).

This t-shirt with Charlie Sheen I bought for my brother, who is a true fan of this actor. I knew that it would be too small for him, but still I couldn't just pass by. In the long run I fell in love with it and just didn't want to give it away. Bad sister:(

Hope you are having a great week and no problems with your computers:)

Oversized denim is love

Spring is the best time of the year! It's not too hot and we can wear almost everything we want:) Perfect!

My favorite checked skirt, vintage oversized denim jacket (well, let's be honest, not vintage, just second hand:D ) and beautiful shoes, that I won in one of the giveaways (lucky me!). As for me, quite a nice combination all together.

Thanks for the photos to my Alyona Lobanova <3

Retro mood

I don't usually wear skirts of such length, so putting on this skirt was kind of an experiment for me. But nevertheless I was quite satisfied with the result (even despite the fact that a lot of people didn't like this outfit)

But who said that we should be liked by everybody?:)

Pink Spring

I've never been a fan of a pink color. But somehow I like this bright trench coat:)

In this outfit I combined two things-of-my-dreams: white Converse shoes and Cambridge Satchel bag. I think these two pieces will be my favorites till the end of my life!)

And, of course, my truelove stripes and mom jeans - something I can't live without.

P.S. Have a bright spring:))

NY I Love You

I am absolutely in love with this coat! When I first saw it I had some doubts whether to buy it or not. Now I understand that it would have been a huge mistake if I hadn't bought it:) It goes well with everything!

And yes, New York. Although I have never been there, I love it. Love for the atmosphere of a big city, for its freedom, for everything. I believe that one day I will be there with a bagel in one hand and coffee-to-go in another:)

And I believe that dreams come true

Hogwarts Witch!

I will never be bored to say that second hand stores are definitely among the best places for shopping! This great checked coat I bought there and I love it so much!:) The necklace and a yellow cropped sweater are presents from my closest friends, and these shoes I won in one of the giveaways. My job was just to combine everything in one outfit. Hope you like it:)

Thanks for the photos to Alyona Lobanova

bag of my dreams

Yes! Spring came true, eventually! I'm super excited and happy because of that!:)

Cambridge Satchel bag was one of my dreams, I had been dreaming about it for more than one year. And hurray! I have it!:) All thanks to my beautiful friends Alyona and Ann, who presented me this bag for my birthday. Million of thanks, my dears<3

Oksana, 02.03.2014

birthday girl!

People who know me know also the fact, that I have my birthday on the 29th of February. So yes, indeed I didn't have birthday this year:) But I still celebrate it every year, on the last winter's day!)

This year I had a perfect birthday! With perfect people around, perfect congratulations and perfect presents. I'm thankful for everything to everybody who was with me on that day. Thanks!

tartan skirt

Yes, it's still winter here. And yes, I like this kind of winter!) I'm looking forward for the beginning of spring (and at the same time for my birthday in the end of winter:D )

I've bought this tartan skirt quite long time ago and for me it's a real mystery why I haven't worn it before. I like it soo much! So it's definitely not the last time I wear it!:)

Keep Calm and Style On

I'm definitely not among those girls, who wear some piece of clothes only once!:) I think that the ability to style your clothes in a different way is more important than the amount of them you have in your wardrobe.

Of course, buying new stuff is always a great pleasure for every girl :) But, unfortunately, sometimes you can't afford that. In this case you just need to try different combinations of what you already have.

Here are some of the clothes that I wear probably most often:)

My lovely oversized coat. I'm already waiting for warm weather to wear it again!)

a girl in a green scarf

I'm already bored to death with winter! Really.

I'm fed up with snow, low temperature and cold wind. One of the best ways to stay alive during this period is layering. The more clothes you put on the better:) I hope spring is near<3

monochrome

Of course, monochrome outfits are not the most creative ones, but they are definitely among my favorite! 

I've never thought of me as a "hat person", but that is already the second hat in my wardrobe and I think not the last one:)
