I'm very sad to report that I am back from vacation.

  But, I 'm already planning my next one! 

I want to say that this was the first time in my life, when I truly relaxed. It might sound selfish, but I really enjoyed being away from all the busy and active lives we lead in the  States. 

I love my life, but I do enjoy these getaways! 

I was thinking of going to the other hemisphere for the next vacation. Any recommendations? Maybe Greek islands, or Thailand? or even Paris? 

I don't know, but we shall see something new:)

Hey guys!

Welcome to all of my new readers! I'm very excited to have you here on my blog!

And hello to my old readers, who've hung around through these couple of rough months. 

I hope everyone is doing well. 

Just wanted to stop by and share with you my latest addition to the shoe family that I have at a current residence of mine.  These are as perfect as I would want them to be. Very comfortable  and oh so pretty.

skin care

Hey there!

After a long battle with different skin care products I came back to my old and  well know clarisonic.

I tried many face cleansers with it, and the latest one that I'm using is this one by Benefit. So far no breakouts, and everything is going smoothly. I've used it for about 2 weeks now. A lot of people like it and recommend it. I gave it a try and it seems to work just fine. I have to warn you though, it has a pleasant but very strong smell. Therefore, may not work everyone.

xoxo, Olya

MARNI kind of day

These designer collaborations with H&M are becoming like a special occasion to see my two dear friends from my freshman year in college. We hang out, we gossip, we shop. 

I didn't get much, but at least I had an awesome time with my girls!

Did any of you shopped this collection? They had some seriously awesome accessories, 

which were gone so fast!

New on the shelf

I've got mint green on my mind...

Zara shoes

I never thought I would say this (fall and winter lover), but I cannot wait for Spring!

Few inspirational pictures to cheer up the last weekend of winter.

overdue.

I am finally posting some pictures from the FNO in NYC. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what will they come up with for the next year! Huge Thank you to my girls Diana and Mary, who were so much fun to hang out with!

{I wore: faux leather shorts from F21, silk blouse from DKNY, coat from H&M, boots from shopbop.com, watch - MK, bag- Tignanello}

Hi guys!

Didn't do much today. I was planning to go to the NYC but then we decided to stay in and watch some TV. I'm reading The Hunger Games right now, so I was more pleased to stay home anyway.

And now we just got home from dinner.

This is what I wore:

-dress - Forever 21

- sandals - Steve Madden

-bag - Tignanello

Hello, hello!

Hi guys! So... where should I begin.

I've been MIA for almost the entire summer and there is really no reason for it except the fact that I was sort of uninspired to blog. I like to write posts when I really have something to write/post. Otherwise, just posting to post is not me.

I hope to be more around now and we shall see where I will take this blog. I might change some things around. Anyway, we'll see.

For now, just a small post on something that I wore today.

{shirt from H&M, shorts from Lauren Conrad collection for Kohl's, shoes Vivienne Westwood}

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}

Alexander McQueen. Savage Beauty.

My friend and I got out to the city to see the Savage Beauty exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in NY. And to say it was good is like to say nothing. I think no pictures or stories can ever describe this exhibition. It is amazing! If any of you guys, have a chance to go see it, please do.

It's absolutely amazing!!!!

Saturday night dinner with the fam. OOTD

Hi guys! Just a quick stop to show you what I wore today. N and I went to see his family for dinner. We ended up at a local Thai restaurant, which means I got my perfect dose of chili sauce:)

And here's what I wore:
