Sunday posting

I had a really good Sunday yesterday. I went to work in the morning and then later at night Nazar and I went to see our friends, who just moved to a new place. My friend made tacos for dinner- delish! and then we played a board game. I think the name of it is "Life" but I'm not sure. It was so much fun! we didnt get home until after 12 am. So, that's what I did and here's what I wore.

I wore: Leather jacket- Victoria's Secret online store, dress- Urban Outfitters (very old), shoes - Steve Madden, tights- Traget, sunglasses- Ray Ban, and my LV speedy 35.

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.

Outfit of the day. Black and brown mix.

Since I'm still dealing with my personal drama I haven't felt like dressing up for the past week. I guess tonight was pretty much the most dressed up I have been this whole week. No make up either, except for some mascara.

My parents came to see me today with my brother, so we had some dinner out and relaxed at home. I also worked today, which is something I enjoyed.

I wore: Leather jacket from Victoria's Secret dot come, scraf from H&M, Bag from Jimmy Choo for H&M, dress from Madewell, and shoes were bought by my mother in Ukraine, last winter and I love them!!!

I'm starting to feel like Christmas is coming soon! Is your holiday spirit cheared up too?

till next time...

Item of the season: The Denim Shirt.

Tonight was our date night. We went to this italian restaurant near our house and had some wine with our dinner. It was nice. I think going on dates is very important, even for those who are married. It's not the same to have dinner together at home. It doesn't give me the "spark". And everyone needs a "spark" from time to time:)

Now as for this seasons IT item, it has to be this denim shirt. I think it was on my summer must have list as well. I love it! I wore it 3 times this week!

I'm wearing: Denim shirt - ZARA, leather jacket Victoria's Secret, leggings - Target, boots - Intyce Steve Madden boots, ring, bracelet and necklace - Pandora, bag - Long Champ.

Do you think date nights are important?

Leather Jacket. Outfit of the day.

Finally I'm back with the outfit of the day post. I am also posting some pictures of the boring stuff that I got from my shopping trip on Saturday. I wasn't that excited with my purchases, but I guess I needed some basics to replace my old stuff.

Absolutely love this necklace. From Amercan Eagle Outfitters. I saw it during the summer but didn't buy it cause I felt like the price was a bit too high. And it was! yesterday I got it for $6.95.

4 sleeveless shirts with deep cut out neck line from Aerie ($7.95 each); same necklace ($6.95); Pants from Zara ($40); Viva La Juicy parfume from Sephora ($50); lipgloss (free) and navy eyeliner($8.50) from Aerie.

What I am wearing: Leather jacket from Victoria's Secret ($218), white tee from Aerie ($7.95), pants from Zara ($40), Necklace from AEO ($6.95), and shoes from Aldo ($90)

Have you found anything cool for Fall/Winter 2010? in the store or online?

Back to reality.

Oh boy... I'm back from my very short getaway to the lake with the fam. It was really relaxing, warm, and fun. I honestly did not want to go back home. I wish I could stay there for another few days, cause the weather was perfect and I didn't spend a dollar, cause my parents paid for everything. Thank you guys! I love you!

Unfortunatelly, I didn't take that many pictures and didn't have exciting outfits at all. I just didn't feel like getting dressed: I was in my bathing suit most of the time.lol.

But here are some pictures from when we went to the town and when we went to see the fireworks on Sunday night.

Top - Anthropologie , Shorts - Abercrombie (old), Sandals - Zara, Bag - Dooney and Burke (birthday gift 2007), Sunglasses - Cole Haan.

I'm waiting for fireworks in my cozy ZARA denim shirt and white jumper from F21. At this point I was super sleepy, cause we had dinner and walked a lot and then I had ice cream, which hit "the spot" and made me even more sleepy.

Nazar jumping into the lake:) looks funny, I know

That was our view from the room of our rented lodge.

June favorites.

Hi girls!
Im still sick ( I dont know if you knew that, but if you follow me on Twitter you probably do) and I've been feeling a little under weather this week, therefore, monthly favorites of June are a little late, I guess. But anyway, here are my favorites:

Let's start with beauty:1. ELF all over color stick in Lilac color. I use it for highlight. It's sort of like NARS multiples. I like it, and it smells like lemonade. I included one of these in my ELF giveaway!
2. Mac eyeshadows in Twinks, Era, and Shroom. I use Shroom to highlight my brow bone, and the other two are just all over the lid colors. I have to say that I really like Era, just because it's perfect for summer. It's very warm nude color, which is almost matte, but it's not.
3. Mac lipstick in Hue. I love this color! it's really beautiful. See it here.
4. Mac eyeshadow brush #239. This is my first MAC brush ever, and I absolutely love it. It's soooo soft and smooth. I'm in love!
5. Maybelline Falsies mascara. I bought it because I ran out of Maybelline Stileto one, and this mascara has a curved brush, so I decided to give it a try. It's good!!! I love everything about it except for the smell. I dont know why, but all my Maybelline mascaras have a very strange smell. Does yours smell too? I mean it's not horrible, but a little strange.
6. Victoria's Secret Noir body mist. I think I told you guys that I love this scent! I even have the parfume, but it lasts for like 10 minutes. That's why I decided to buy the mist, so I can have it in my bag and respray if I feel like it:)
7. Loreal H.I.P. jelly balm in Plush. Oh. My. God! this balm is amazing!!! It's so good! I have to go to Rite Aid and get a back up just in case they will run out of it!
8. N.Y.C. matte bronzer. It was only $3, and I wanted to try out matte bronzer. I also heard that this one was good, so I gave it a try. And? I loved it! I use it almost every day along with my shimmery bronzer. It's just some places on my face do not need shimmer. And the color of this bronzer is called Sunny.
9. Stephenie Meyer's book "The short second life of Bree Tanner". I love this book as much as I loved the Twilight books. I just had to read it, cause it goes along with the Eclipse book. If you are into these book, you have to read this one! Plus, $1 from each book sold will be donated to the American Red Cross! I've heard they've donated about $2 million. How amazing is that?!

I also wanted to talk about my current nail polish pick. I was really looking forward to find the essie Mint candy apple one, but it's sold out everywhere. So, Traget to the rescue!!! I found this Revlon "Minted" nail polish and it's exactly the same color! If you are interested, I love Revlon Base coat #955. And as for the top coat, I use Orly "In a Snap". It dries my nails in a SNAP:)
A little demonstration for you here:)

And this is my outfit of the day. I went to see Eclipse in IMAX today. It was so good. I look sort of sick in the picture and that's because I was, and still am.

Shirt, skirt, sandals - ZARA; Belt - Gap; Bag - Longchamp.

I'm supposed to go away this weekend for 3 days, but thats if I start feeling a little better. And if I do go away, I will probably be back to blogging sometime next week.

Have a great weekend, ladies!!!! Go see Eclipse!!!
