fashion | Olya Garkusha — A Diary of Inspiration

Hello, dears!

You know, I love mornings, and everything about them as well. When it's a bit chill outside & streets are not so crowded — that's the perfect time of the day for me. I also love to pamper myself from time to time with a tasty breakfast outside my home, like it was on this morning. For such occasions I always try to wear something elegant, yet light & not sophisticated, cause, you know, it's morning:)

This dress from American Apparel is quite simple because of its clean white color, yet looks really elegant because of its feminine shape {this dress unfortunately is completely sold out, but I found similar versions down below}. I always wear it with just necklace, but this morning was quite chill, so I decided to go with something over it. To add a little bit of twist & a pop of color to it, I put on this cardigan, that by the way, has a very trendy 'net' knit! To complete the look I go with lace espadrilles, necklace, bracelet & a crossbody purse, and here we go — a great morning look is done!

This is my recipe of how to look elegant for a breakfast outside, but I'm thrilled to hear your ideas of outfits! Let me know about them in a comment box just under the post ♥

Hello, beautiful people!

Just want to say a quick hello to you from Mercedes-Benz Odessa Fashion Days — one of the hottest & greatest Ukrainian Summer fashion events:) It was the first time for me attending MBOFD, and as kinda 'freshman' I saw as pros, so cons of this 3-days event.

As for cons — there were a few problems with organization such as delaying the start of the runways or lack of information (e.g., I wasn't even informed that the beginning of Day 2 was delayed for two hours). Also, such fact as a time period between runways wasn't really pleased (for those who don't know — the runway show is about 3-5 mins, and the beginning of the next runway is on 50 mins). Luckily, it is Summer, Odessa, sea coast — so you can spend your spare time either inside Otrada Beach Club, either sitting, as I did, on a pier 'bathing' your feet in the Sea:)

This may be all the unpleasant moments that I found — all the rest was just incredible! Perfect locations, talented & creative Ukrainian designers (as rising stars, so well-known in a World Fashion community creators), beautiful clothes & shoes, incredible Fashion Market & hardworking organizers and volunteers, whom I want to say a big 'thanks' for making this event real. I liked it, I definitely want more, and I'll definitely save the date for the event next year!

Hello, beautiful people!

I'm really thrilled to show you one of my favorite photoshoots so far! I just adore this effortless & light outfit for being so perfect for almost any Summer occasions — you can wear it as on a beach party, so on a romantic date on a warm evening. And if your Summer is as 'cool' (I mean, even pretty much cold), just throw on a light yet warm cardigan on shoulders for an extra comfort during not-so-hot Summer nights this year.

What I also love about white color — is the fact that it will look suitable everywhere and anytime. I was surprised that this dress because of its white color, doesn't look like a special occasion dress only. Especially, if you're pairing it with silver sneakers for adding a special touch to the whole outfit, it completely removes the stereotype about the fact that white dress can be for a prom or wedding only.

So, if you're looking for a light & beautiful look for your special plans this Summer, I recommend you to go with such winning combination as this one:)

My Youth is yours

Thursday, June 9, 2016

Hello, my dear readers!

There're such days, when I want to look like a Lady, in an absolutely put-together-look. And there're days when I (like everyone of you, I'm sure) prefer casual style to all the twisted outfits. But one more point — when I say 'casual', it doesn't mean that I mean something absolutely not interesting & average. Casual — is all about simplicity & comfort without loosing you our unique style. So, even if I'm wearing a pair of jeans and white tank (oooh, my favorite look), I try to add an interesting detail, such as shoes, backpack or jewelry piece:)

This adorable asymmetric top with a cut-out shoulder that I'm wearing with basic shorts & white keds, is precisely this interesting detail I'm talking about. It adds something unusual to your whole look and makes you feel like wearing something that distinguishes you from the crowd. By the way, it's also really light, so personally I didn't even feel those +30° outside.

Thank you for reading! Tell me some of your secrets of turning casual look into an interesting one :)
