Bellerose

Saturday morning was so difficult to wake up! After 2hours of doing nothing finally me and my brother decided to go to the gym...BUT...how about to pass quickly (10min) to ZARA HOME before...we need urgently some staff for the bathroom:)...of course...the 10min were transformed in 2 hours...cause after Zara, we went to a glasses shop, after that, another shop..after, we were hungry..we passed at Paul to take some sandwiches...It was funny cause when we looked at the time, we had just 1 hour till the gym closing..and for a couple of minutes the temptation to go home was too big...but we resisted and finally went to do some healthy activities:)

So...this small introduction was to tell you about my new discovery of that day....a Belgium brand called Bellerose!..it's a brand from 80's. The clothes are mostly ''casual style'' , but very stylish in the same time and good quality. The design of the shop itself it's so trendy ( based on American life theme), and the atmosphere inside the shop is very cool...!
My brother knew this brand...he bought for himself some All Stars, very nice... and for me he bought a t-shirt with long sleeves, with marine theme (don't know if I said it right in English), but you can see them in the pictures below.

It's a wonderful day today in Brussels - Sunshine:)...yeee!! I think I will go for a walk!

Have a nice week!!

I said ‘’goodbye’’ to my boyfriend but not to his jeans...!!!

…at least I have something useful from him:)!!!-joke!

Today was the anti-skirt, anti-dress day! Sometimes just want to dress some men’s staff, to be comfortable in, and feel pretty in the same time!

So…I opened my brother’s closet and started carefully looking inside hoping to find something inspiring…

I have found some interesting pieces that I would like to share with you!

In the end… I don’t have a boyfriend but I have a stylish brother, who will be always with me!!!:)

Dreaming...

The last 2 days were a bit negative....( I even cried:)). I think the period when you are searching for a job is one of the most difficult: you have to be strong, confident, have patience and BELIEVE no matter what!...I try to be like this, but one fact torture me: why now, in the moment when I am looking for a job, everywhere, in all the newspapers is written just about the crisis and unemployment and how things get worse!!! Just negative things and negative information!!! Maybe I should stop reading?! Or maybe I should stop looking for a job?!:) hmm..no…not good…have to find some other ideas…:)
I am a really optimistic person, but all this make me doubt sometimes!...When we'll see the END?! Nobody knows…:)

Anyway…today I weak up and I am in a good mood…and even if it’s raining here in Brussels and the weather is bad like the economic crisis:) …I am still in shape- ‘’positive attitude forever’’:)!
So, to celebrate this (my came back), I allowed myself to eat some super- tasty- good for the body thing– NUTELLA people! I don’t know how you feel about it…but for me it’s like a prohibit dream!...I know, maybe I make a big deal about it, but I am part of the ‘’watch what you eat and count the calories’’ category of people…But this morning was special!:)

After my delightful breakfast while I was listening Justin Nokuza ( this guy has an amazing voice), I start like always to look for some new job offers. But my head and my body were resisting and were not capable to think about all this CV and cover latter staff…the truth is – I was dreaming about vacations and sun, and see and good looking boys and girls:)….and tasty cocktails and good music and crazy parties!....I WANT vacation people!

There million of places where I would like to go…but if I have to decide where to go today, my answer will be Los Angeles! Ahhhhh….!!! I go dreaming again…:))

My Graduation Day!

Last Thursday the 19th of March was my graduation day!
I was not so excited about it...( I went more because of my parents), but in the END...it was nice. I saw my old friends, people that I like or dislike :))
All the ceremony took place at Bataclan (small concert hall) in Paris. It was really hot inside, or maybe it was just me, and my emotions:)...anyway...I was a bit disappointed cause people was not very much dressed, don't know why...!
Below you can see my outfit and in general some moments of that day...







(Alain Manoukian silk shirt, Naf Naf grey skirt,and Italian brand shoes - i bought them in Milan, don't remember the name, i will try to found out and post in latter).


I apologize for the quality and the size of the pictures. I have to find out how to put bigger photos…in meantime you can click on it to have a bigger image.

Have a nice week,

The positive thing by staying home is that i have more time to sleep (of course):), but especially to watch TV...in fact there a 3 channels that I am watching. These are FTV, the Russian channel-ORT International and MTV.

So now my morning ritual is: to weak up around 10am, take a shower, during the breakfeast (11am), I am watching a daily fashion show on ORT and after, while I am looking for a job FTV is ON like a background making my day nicer.

It's true that I miss my ''working life'' and I hope that my dream job will apear soon in my life:)

Anyway...speaking about Fashion and Fashion Week...There are so many beatiful things this year...Above are some of my favorite creations from Paris fashion week. Could die to have them:) ( pictures -from www.style.com)
