#MBFWRUSSIA Grey Coat No 2

 If you are a big fan of grey colour and of grey coats particularly, you might like this picture. One thing a I like about this look is that the lady in the picture added a bright colour to her look - she wears red boots. That's a nice trick to make grey look more colourful.

 Personally I'm not a fan of grey. I own only 3 grey pieces - a pullover, a vest and shorts. Surely I do not put them on frequently. Grey does not make me look bright. It's because I'm always pale and a bit blonde. The lady in the picture is tanned and a brunette, so she looks good wearing a total grey look.  

Something Fancy for the New Year

 Hello, guys! Hope you are still enjoying free time and devote it completely to YOURSELF. Working boys and girls like us, who have to spend 5 or 8 hours 5 days a week at work, which you sometimes do not adore, shall devote vacation\holiday time for their own plans, ideas, meeting and close people. Or simply for sleeping and procrastinating, which you are allowed to do but not often. Because, you know, life goes by, and you need to learn and to see SO MUCH fantastic things in this world! 

 I decided to continue fancy posts theme, but instead of the building as an fancy object, a human being is a fancy object now. Doesn't the lady in the picture looks nice? I like the tiny details that make her look stand out - fur collar, red ribbon, muff, red gloves. I spy nothing extra in it and that is why it looks harmonious and balanced.

#MBFWRUSSIA Free Spirit Combination

 I like the free spirit of this insane combination. I dress the way I feel because it's my life, actually. 

Checked Skirt & Green Tights at #MBFWRUSSIA.

 Checked skirts will ALWAYS be fashionable! ALWAYS!!! FOREVER! 
 Tartan makes everyone look sharp. As a proof of my words - look at the girl in the picture. Or imagine an old lady wearing a tartan piece, she will look stylish too. Recently in the cafe I saw an old lady wearing a perfectly tailored tartan jacket. Guys, if you only could see the air of dignity with which she strutted on her way out. She was wearing a perfectly tailored tartan jacket. At that moment I admired her and I envied her. If you have a grandma, buy something made of tartan as her Christmas or New Year gift. She will look bright and sharp.    

#MBFWRUSSIA 2014. Grey Coat Trend.

  I'm not a fan of grey colour, but if you like the colour and vintage or vintage looking clothes, you might like the coat above.

 To me the coat in the foto looks like a grandmother's coat, but the girl wears it quite well. In case you dear a brighter look: carefully styled hair, red lips, necklaces and earrings, party dress, see-through tights and hills - girl, you will look fabulous.    

#MBFWRUSSIA. Shapes.

I have some pictures left from MBFWRussia. I finally have inspiration to post them. 

I like this complete look - oversized sweatshirt shape, leather skirt, platform heels, red lips.  

Shoewear at #MBFWRussia

Shoes of nearly all types and colours are shown above. It's really nice when people choose shoe wear which is not only black and of classical model.   

In this pic most of all I like the grey socks.  

Oversized Grey Coats for Winter

 Yesterday on my way from work I noticed a girl wearing a huge oversized camel colour coat in metro. She looked so comfy in it, though a bit too big\oversized. Looking at her I realized that baggy coats can serve good for winter time. You can wear thousand layers underneath and still will look baggy and oversized. If you are seek and tired of figure hugging clothes, then go ahead, free your body, baby, and find your own oversized coat. But please, choose something brighter than grey. Or, if you long to wear a grey coat, then add a colourful scarf or beanie.   

#MBFWRUSSIA was Full of Smiles

 I'm posting this foto not only because of the wide smiles of the ladies, but also because of the bright yellow spots in their looks. I don't know why yellow is not popular among adults? I only know that yellow makes you look bright and makes everybody around you feel bright and sunny.    

Blankets Are Trendy

Do you have a wool blanket covered with check or square pattern? Is it of red colour or warm brown? Then wrap yourself up in it before going out to work on a cold autumn day, otherwise you will not look trendy. 

The girl in red definitely borrowed her grandma's blanket. See? And she looks cool.

Guys, do not hesitate to wrap a huge scarf or blanket around your neck. Be careful, please, do not suffocate yourself, cause fashion has too many victims already. 

A Stylist

 

 When I first learned about "stylist" job, I didn't pay much attention to it. I was about 15 years old then. The word "stylist" didn't convey any sense to me. I liked watching runway pictures and pictures in fashion magazines being 8, 15 or 27. I simply didn't pay any attention to the word "stylist". Most probably because my parents were bringing me up to have more dependable job like a teacher or a accountant, or a translator. So stylists weren't in my radar until a couple of years ago. 

 The most famous stylist I think is Rachel Zoe. She has 2nd job already - clothes designer. Watching "Rachel Zoe Project" series on Bravo TV, I saw how the stylist really works. After that I concluded that it's not a bad job after all. This job even seemed easy for me because, let's say frankly, it's not a building design, or airplanes repair, or documents translation. It requires constant creativity and being on the go. Looking at Rachel Zoe you can't help admiring her, her energy, her style, her husband, her kids, her team. Watching the series I was always thinking: "Hey, Rachel, just relax." I remember after those series dreaming about becoming a stylist. I'm still dreaming about this job. 

 I've never met a professional stylist in my life. Taking a picture of the girl you see above, I liked her unusual look (hair, fur jacket, high-waisted skinny jeans and platform boots), I learned that she is a stylist. Her name is Anastasiya Voskresenskaya. Please welcome her, guys! I didn't have a chance to speak with Anastasia about her experience as a stylist. But I'll definitely get in touch with her and make an interview to learn more about stylist job.      

Grey Tights

Hey friends! I hope you are having a warm autumn with small amount of rains and cold winds.

I want to make a post about grey tights today. Usually I'm not a fan of them. All grey tights look like grandmother's tights to me. I do not want to bring down grandmothers all over the world. They are very sweet and loving creatures. Well, I hope most of them are like that. My grandmothers can understand me better than my parents.

  Let's go back to grey tights. In November grey tights look really appropriate. If in summer or spring they look colourless, then in autumn they can look very cool. I'm not sure for now that soon I will buy a pair of grey tights but I constantly keep noticing them in shops windows.    

Bloggers on Fashion Week in Moscow

From left to right: Anna aka Fox in Vogue, Margarita of White Rabbit Dreams, Yana of London Is Passion.

  Do you remember, guys, I said that this season of MB Fashion Week Russia was lucky for meeting new and bright people. Finally I got acquainted with fellows in crime - fashion bloggers. I met with Yana, Margarita and Anna. These three girls have personal style blogs that can inspire you to try new ways of styling your looks or will make you look at clothes in a different way.  

I liked the way Yana placed the huge knitted scarf on her coat.

  I'm glad that I accidentally met these aspiring bloggers. We all know famous Russian bloggers, whose names I don't want to name here because they have enough spot light on the their humble personalities, but these girls seem to be a bit different from those famous bloggers. May be I was simply glad to meet somebody who has the same hobby like I do, which means in general we have the same interest, we are fond of communicating and sharing with people, like Mark Zuckerberg wishes us to act (please do not think that I'm Mark's fan, I was just joking), and we keep going in hope that somebody out there will notice our blogs, will be inspired and perhaps will come back to read the blog more than once.    

Coloured Faux Fur on Fashion Week in Moscow

Girls wore faux fur coats (yes, I know those coats are made of real fur but I wish that was faux fur) not for beauty issues, but for warmth issues. It was very cold on the day I was taking pictures. I like the colour fur tendency a lot. I remember 6 years ago bright green fur looked tacky and cheap, but how great it looks now!    

Feeling Blue?

  Blue and grey were very popular among fashion week visitors. I like blue, but I do not support grey. Though a combination of grey and blue can work very good, like in the picture above. 

Ballet & Fashion? Fashion Talks Outside the Shows. We Do Not Gossip Here.

  I've never been on fashion shows yet. Yeah, yet. Though I've been inside the building during the fashion week, when shows took place in there. I came in to warm my fingers, because it was sooo cold standing outside for 4 hours when thermometer shows minus. I think some street style photographers can relate to that: teeth clattering, feeling no fingers on hands or feet. Alright, I'm not telling you a scary story here. 

  My point here is - it is so much fun outside the fashion shows than inside. It's my hurt pride saying this. Perhaps if I've ever been on any fashion show I'd speak differently. But I haven't and I can not know that for sure. But what I definitely know is that there is so much fun and fascinating people in the street, on fresh, but cold, air! 

 The boy you see in the picture is ... (you'll never know,guys, his occupation) a ballet dancer. Though looking on the top picture and seeing his posture, ballet fans might possibly guess it right. When he said that he was dancing at the Balshoi theatre, I was really impressed! I've never met personally with ballet dancers before, but I always wanted. So we had a small talk and he said one of the most hilarious things I've heard outside the shows.

Ballet dancer: "I missed Alyona Akhmadulina's show because I was dancing at the Balshoy theatre that night." - he said with discontent. 

Me: "LOL.LOL.LOL. I think you should be proud of dancing at the Balshoi. I think you can't even compare these things." 

  Thank you so much, dear boy, for that chat and for making me laugh!   Speaking of clothes choice  - I liked his white platform shoes and sweatshirt with Georgian letters on. 

   

MBFWRUSSIA Spring 2015. Fashion of Streets. Part 1.

Like I promised you, guys, I went to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Russia, that takes place twice a year in Moscow. This time was different from my previous two seasons, that I had a chance to visit.  Why was it different? Well, I met many new bright and friendly people who gladly stroke poses and spoke about blogging, fashion shows and their beautiful looks. I will tell you more about my encounters, and for now ... LET THE SHOW BEGIN.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Russia or MBFW Russia

 

Fashion Week finally came to Moscow! Yohooo! 

The schedule and all the news, including pictures, you can find here.

Tomorrow I promise you to post street fashion pictures. I haven't had a chance yet due to my 9 till 6 PM work, to visit a place of fashion celebration. Tomorrow I will spend there about 4 hours to take the best pictures for you, guys, and for me, of course.
