Olya Garkusha — A Diary of Inspiration

Hello, my beautiful readers! How's you incredibly hot June going? ;)

Today I want to talk with you about the most suitable color for our pretty hot Summer, which is by the way, one of my favorite colors as well — white color.

White is indispensable for a sunny days, cause this color transmits sunlight, and makes you feel comfortable in your clothes even if it's +35C outside. It's also a great idea for a Summer OOTD — you just take a white dress or romper or blouse and style with everything. And the third its benefit — is that I found the whole perfect-for-Summer-line in a white!

When I went to the Urban Outfitters website a couple of days ago, I discovered one of their newest collections called Summer Whites. (By the way, this post is not sponsored by Urban Outfitters — I would love this to be a collaboration, because this is one of my favorite brands, but unfortunately I'm not yet working with them yet). So, when I saw this incredible all-in-white collection, I couldn't but show you a few of my favorites from it. I just wanted to share this impression & inspiration that I got when I saw this lookbook with you, guys. I really think, that all the things listed below, or at least one of them, can become your Summer 2016 obsession as much as they became mine :)

Tell me — what's your favorite item from these down below? I ♥ hearing from you!

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:)
