Teddy Bear Sweater, Clear Bag and the Serious Shades [New York Adventures]

Hello Everyone!

Since, in my previous post I promised to tell you more about the bad weather, I am skipping straight to day 3. Day 3 was probably the most disappointing day, since we couldn't get on Top of the Rock due to the white out. The worst part is that it was our second attempt to get on top of the Rockefeller center. The first time we tried to go all the tickets were sold out. So, we purchased tickets for the next day. But, when we got there the next morning, the attendants told us that the visibility is 0 and that we should come back tomorrow. The next day was no better, so we ended up never going. Luckily those tickets are good for a whole year...

There are two things that I am currently obsessed with: teddy bear anything and clear bags. Although, majority of people I know find clear bags ugly, I can't stay indifferent about them, since, they remind me of my childhood. But as far as the teddy bear coats/sweaters go, no one can dislike those (And if you do you, then I don't want to know you anymore lol).They are simply amazing. They are the softest thing you would ever lay your hands on. And, they are also warm. Aaaand this is why I bought 3 teddy coats in the past 2 weeks...

By the way, have any of you got on the 80s-90s style glasses trend? Obviously I did, but what do you all think? Yey or Ney. So, if you want to "throw some shade" on the budget, I am linking the sunnies I am wearing in this post and few other fun frames I own bellow.

Snake Skin Trench Coat [New York Adventures]

Hello Everyone!

I can't believe that I am finally getting around to share my NY trip posts with you... I sure took my sweet time didn't I? I was just going to say that it's been a month since we went, until I realized that it's already December! Happy First Day of Winter btw! And before anyone says anything... I grew up in Russian where by December 1st there was at least 13 inches on the ground already. So, December 1st will forever be the first day of winter for me (plus it already snowed twice).

Ok, I guess this is the part where I tell you about my trip.

Well.. our trip was a bit of a disaster. And not because something bad happened, but because it wasn't very well planed. I had all these places I wanted to visit and to eat at, but I didn't realize how big New York is, and how far all those places were. So, needless to say, we didn't get to visit half the places on my list. By the way, those estimate times you get on your gps/google maps/maps are beyond wrong. We were late everyday, everywhere.

Buckle Boots

Ok, who else is living for snake prints?

I am no stranger when it comes to animal prints, but snake skin had been my print of choice lately. I think it is the most settle out of the animal prints and therefore, is a little more wearable. Btw, I really wanted to buy theses snake print boots while I was in NY, but I didn't. And all because I broke my own rule and brought my husband to the store with me...

Btw, although it's hard to tell by looking at these pictures, it's actually raining. Actually, the weather wasn't that great through the whole trip. It was foggy (more about that in my next post), rainy and cold.

Here are few other snake skin items I purchased in the past month.

How to Rock an Over-Sized Blazer Like a Girl Boss

Happy Monday everyone!

When I was editing the pictures last night, I had all these great ideas of what I am going to talk to you all about. But, as I am typing this post, everything I was going to say had completely evaporated from my head. And all I can come up with is: how miserable the weather is right now (it actually snowed today), and that my B-day is in 2 days. So, I think we should fast forward both of those topics and talk about my outfit instead. Or more specifically about the over-sized blazer trend.

Over-sized blazers and coats have a very bad "rep" among the general public.

It is believed that over-sized blazers and coats are very tricky and require a somewhat of a specific height to look right on...But that doesn't have to be so. Here are few tips on how to rock the over-sized trend as a boss.

Make sure you get the blazer as close to your true size as possible. In other words, if you wear size M, then don’t size up to L or XL. If you are purchasing an oversized blazer/coat, it’s already loose enough, and by going up in a size or two might make you appear sloppy. One of the great places to shop for the cloths that range in sizes is ASOS. They carry tall, petite, plus, regular and even maternity.
Try to belt your blazer. Belts are amazing. They can really “pull” and polish the whole look. I don’t have much of a waist, so I belt a lot of my clothes to create an appearance of one.
Don't wear bulky cloths underneath your blazer.

Hello Everyone!

Look who is back...!

I know, this is at least the 5th comeback I've had this year alone. I swear, I am neck in neck with the Terminator and all his "come-backs". And yes, I am going there, with the Terminator jokes. Since, I get asked to so say "I will be back" every time someone discovers I'm part Russian. Btw, for those who doesn't know Arni is from Austria (and I don't speak German)...

Now, that we got that weird intro out of the way, lets talk about my fun outfit. Originally. I was going to wear this look to the fair, but on the day we were supposed to go it rained. Then, Z couldn't get off work, and then I had to study for the test. Needless to say, we missed fair this year. But since, I spent forever steaming this dress, I was dedicated to find a reason to wear it.

And the reason never came... So, like a true extra that I am, I went exploring the wild sunflower fields by our house in the white maxi dress... Let me say this... It was not one of my finest ideas. 3 words "Red Eath Tera"... and I'll just leave it at that (Btw, guess where it's from.).
