Sun + H2O...

So, I will start with the fact that I've been super lazy. You know, the usual summer stuff: beach, books, work, more beach.

Last weekend I enjoyed a little getaway with the fam to the lake. It's almost as a family tradition now, we are always on the lake for the 4th of July. And it's the place to be!

Hope you guys, are having an awesome summer!

Just remember to stock up on sunblock:)

{I wore: dress- Forever21, flip-flops - Havaianas, sunglasses - Cole Haan, pandora hat from Aerie, necklace from Hautelook.com}

Memorial Day weekend

Hello, my dear friends!
This weekend was amazing! Mostly due to the beautiful weather that we are having right now. Also in US it was a long weekend, so it's always nice, cause we get to relax a bit more:)
I am in a moving mode. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but N and I are moving. Our move in day is June 1st, and we are super excited!!! I really cannot wait! It's going to be so nice!
I have started packing some of my things(shoes), and as much as it feels overwhelming, it gave me a chance to go through my things and find things that I forgot they existed!

{I wore: Tank - Aerie, skirt - Forever 21, clutch from Lohmanns, shoes - gift from a friend, side way cross necklace from Hautelook.com, watch- Michael Kors, sunglasses - Aerie}

I hope you had a nice weekend and hope to see you here soon!

Feeling it...

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I decided to be very spontaneous and go to Brooklyn for lunch and then see the Brooklyn bridge. I have seen the bridge many times, but have never been on it. It's pretty cool, but there were really a lot of people there, taking pictures or just walking. I waited for a long time to get a perfect picture, where people were not crowding around.
Over all, fun day, full of excitement and new things.

I wore: basic black tank top from Aerie, faux leather shorts from Forever 21, jacket from Calvin Klein, tights from Cynthia Rowley (bought via Guilt Group), shoes from Macy's, bag from Tignanello, earrings and necklace from Tiffany&Co, butterfly brooch on my jacket was a gift from a friend, Ray Ban sunglasses.

Cruise outfits

I did not know what to blog about today. My camera is empty of picture and I haven't had a chance to take any. So, I reached into my photo library on Picasa and found few outfit pictures from my cruise.
When you go on a cruise, the last thing you want to do is put outfits together. You also don't have time to do it. So, my recommendation is to prepare ahead of time. Dresses are the easiest things to bring with you! But make sure you bring the ones that do not wrinkle much. Otherwise, you will be walking around in wrinkles.
And YES, I definitely overpacked for this cruise!
I hope you will enjoy this little post and will tell me: in your opinion, what is the best clothing item to bring on vacation?(destination - warm places!!)

Day 1&2 of my Spring Break

Hi my dear friends! I've missed you so much! I was having a lot of fun the past 10 days, but I did think about blogging at least 5 times per day. However, it is time to go over my trip and share my excitement. {It has not died out yet}. The next few posts will be my cruise recap only, so I hope it will not bore you. And today I will literally start from day 1, when we got coffee at the airport on our way to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

So, buckle up, my friends! we are hitting: San Juan, Curacao, Aruba, Dominica, St. Thomas, and old San Juan.

OOTD

Hi there! It's been a long time, I know. Just stopping by to post my last night's OOTD.

Life is boring here for now. Same stuff everyday: work, study, sleep, eat. But I think you will forgive me, cause I know we are all (in some sort) on the same boat. Here's what I wore last night, as we were going to our friend's house for dinner.

I wore: Leather jacket from Victoria's Secret web, Sweater H&M, Red tank from Forever 21, Leggings - Romeo and Juliet Couture, Shoes from Aldo, Bag - speedy 35 LV, Necklace from Pandora.

Taking my new shoes out;)

This is funny, but I am still getting my Christmas gifts! My friend just came back from Ukraine and gifted me with this lovely pair of pumps. They are so cute! Thanks, Zhenya!!!

I wore: Zara coat, F21 dress, Target basic black tights, and Flamingo pumps.

Happy new year's Eve!!!

This year has been great for me! And even though I had few bumps in my way it all turned out great! I would really like to thank all of you, my dear reader, for all the support and kind words! 2011 looks very promising as well and I am very excited to enter it with you!

Best wishes for you guys for 2011 from Dreaming Skies!!!!

XOXO, Olya

Home with Bella

Yesterday I spent most of my day studying except for this one hour when Bella wouldn't leave me alone. She just kept jumping onto the couch and slowly smelling her way into my lap. So, I decided to take advantage of her pisitive attitude and snap few pictures with her. I mean she is usually very moody and doesn't want to play much, but yesterday it was a whole different story with her.

I hope you guys will enjoy.

whose ears are those?! ^^^

And don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY, if you haven't done so yet!!! Enter it here .

Thanksgiving.

I hope all of you, my american followers, had a great Thanksgiving! and will have even better shopping today. I'm not really into the black friday shopping, but I know many people are and I can understand why: CAUSE IT'S EXCITING!!!( something different)

My Thanksgiving went great! I helped a lot to prepare food, then I ate too much, and then I was barely able to breath or walk or do any sort of activities that involved moving my body. Lol. Gotta love holidays!!!

I love this picture! everyone was so excited to see the turkey!!! lol

you remeber my baby Bella?!

OMG! my hair was really making me annoyed today, because every time it needs to be perfect - it's not! So, please ignore all those little flyaways around my forehead! Can't stand them!!!!

And last but not least, I would like to thank for my life, and all the great people in it! I love you all! I would also like to thank all my followers, who daily leave me sweet and helpful comments! You make me so happy! I don't think you know how happy you make me! And for that I thank you!
