Only two more days before Summer 2016 will officially come to an end! Pretty sad, I know — back to school season is actually not as bright & interesting as shown on YouTube videos :(
But, I decided to ignore all the Fall blues and to show you one of my beloved Summer 2016 outfits. This tunic-hat-backpack combination is perfect for a Morocco or India destinations (just like in 'Eat.Pray.Love'), or as in my case — for the Ukrainian sea coast ;) Such bright color and incredible natural fabric make this tunic my absolute favorite! And I think, I want to wear it not only for the Summer but for the Fall 2016 season too — who said that tunic can't be multi-seasonal? ;)
OUTFIT DETAILS: TUNIC — ASTA {FOUND SIMILAR ITEMS ON ETSY}; SHORTS — SHEIN; HAT — PULL&BEAR {SOLD OUT, SIMILAR}; BACKPACK — VINTAGE {SIMILAR HERE & HERE}
I'm so sorry for my long absence in blog — so many things to do (and I also have issues with the whole time-management thing). So, now I'm trying to put everything together, and to continue doing posts on a regular basis, as it was. Promise, so many interesting is coming! ;)
Today I want to share my list of a 6 greatest Fall 2016 fashion trends. Some of them still be on top from the last Seasons, and some of them are pretty much new. So, let's see what should we have in our closets for this Fall.
From all the fabrics in the World, velvet — is my absolute favorite. This texture is gorgeous, shining and will never look cheap. Velvet pieces can be appropriate in almost any life occasion if you can style them suitably. Rochas, Ralph Lauren, Adam Selman and other big-name designers rocked this fabric in their Fall fashion shows, so definitely watch them for you own velvet inspiration!
From the 'Gossip Girl' times and now on I still be absolutely in love with capes! Remember how Blair styled her cape coats? It literally was my greatest teenage inspiration! I was waiting for so long when this wonderful style will be back in trend, and thanks to Prada, Ferragamo & Tommy Hilfiger they're hot now. So, yes, cape coat is my #1 recommendation for your Fall outerwear.
So many great trends are back this Season. I love-love-love animal prints, especially leopard, and especially on an outerwear! But if you're more into zebras, tigers or any other kind of an animal print (on a faux fur, of course!) then you should think about having such piece in your Fall wardrobe. But remember, when it comes to this trend, the main rule is — the less is more. Don't overdo ;)
This trend is a great combination of the two previous — military and navy. Military style was here during a couple of Seasons, and now it was transformed into a bit different navy military one. Tommy Hilfiger & Prada got their inspiration from the Navies and transformed it into wearable pieces that we can have in our everyday outfits. Looks incredible!
As for a trending jewelry — pearls is all you need this Fall. And as Moschino and Marni showed, you can use pearls not only in a classic Chanel style, but also rock them (as Moschino — literally) in almost any outfit.
The last but not least trend for today is a purple color. Fall 2016 shows were filled with purple clothing & accessories. I think this color could easily be as trendy & popular this Fall as pantone colors of 2016 — rose quartz & serenity. Well, we'll see how will Fashion World react to it, but I can personally promise you lots of purple in blog this Fall ;)

Can you imagine that it's already August? It's crazy, really! Seems like it was only June, and I was enjoying MBOFD fashion shows, when ta-da — August has come.
But anyway, I decided to not whine & not getting upset about it, and just enjoy this last month of Summer 2016, (what I'm doing right now on a sea coast!😉). And shopping — is definitely something that can cheer you up & give you some inspiration for new creations. For example, this white Zara blouse that I found recently inspired me to wear it with so much different style & create a lot of new outfits. The one I'm showing you today is perfect for a hot days, when you want to look incredibly romantic & elegant. You have already seen these shorts in one of my recent posts, but you can see how much different can your bottom look if you just change your top ;)
I love this light & beautiful look, really. And I'm thrilled to know what do you think about it ♥
P.S. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram: @olyagarkusha, cause this week there will be a lot of updates from my trip :)
I absolutely love the exaggerated sleeves trend — I think it's incredible for Summer! And I also think that light chiffon blouses with such big sleeves can be a perfect choice for beach.
My white chiffon blouse is from House of Fraser, and I own it for a pretty long time already. As you can see — it's quite transparent (even though the main part of my wardrobe is transparent, this one seems too much even for me). So it has always been an issue to me of how to style & where to wear this thing. Fortunately, in Summer this problem was solved quickly — by just wearing bikini underneath. If you're on a vacation on a sea or ocean coast, or looking for a beachwear, or just living near the beach — you should look for such blouses to protect yourself from sun & add a little twist to your look. I've added all the links down below, so you can easily click on them and choose those you like :)
Tell me what you think about such Summer look. I ♥ reading your comments!
What can be more romantic than a Summer date? Warm nights, messy hair, tanned skin & sea waves — oh, I can already see this beautiful picture! And even though some nights can be too warm or even hot (I mean temperature now), it doesn't mean that you can't have a perfect beautiful & romantic outfit. Who actually said that date look is only about long dresses & high heels? When I went to lovecatalogues.co.uk and found a huge amount of great clothing pieces & accessories for different occasions, I decided to show you a different side of a whole 'date outfit' idea.
The first look I called 'A sunset beach' cause it is great for a warm evening on a sea or an ocean coast. Such royal blue one-piece swimsuit looks even more like a body than just a beachwear. And when you will pair it with white loose caftan, bag & straw hat you will look absolutely romantic, yet feel yourself really comfy sitting on the sand with the sea breeze in your hair :)
The second look is more suitable for a city occasion, yet won't make you feel overheated as well. Ruffle off-shoulder top in a gorgeous mustard color paired with a short straight skirt & a crossbody to match, is my second favorite for a Summer date occasion. Complete an outfit with a small pendant & block heeled sandals, and you will feel yourself confident either on a rooftop, or in a movie, in a restaurant or just strolling through the streets of you city.
So, which one of those looks is your personal favorite? I ♥ reading your comments!

I was looking for a great pair of shorts for a whole Summer this year. I wanted to find such shorts that could have a romantic touch & can be worn in different occasions, not only for a beach summer look. And in the middle of Summer I finally found them :) Those rose quartz ones that I'm wearing on these photos (and I wore them all the time during my vacation!), do have this romantic touch, are incredibly light & look gorgeous in many Summer occasion.
The only minus that they have — is the fact that they easily crumple the moment you sit anywhere, so you should be very neat & careful to make sure your rear part still look okay. But fortunately, this fact can't overlap all the pros of them, so these shorts still be in my list of my favorites so far :)
Do you have any current Summer favorites, guys? I ♥ reading your comments
