Weekend in Georgia

Hello everyone, it's Sveta. I once again am coming back to blogging. Today with a little bit different kind of post. Travelling experience type of post.
So, two days ago I came back from the weekend in Tbilisi, Georgia. It was my third time there, and quite frankly I love it. The city reminds of Europe, grace to Mikheil Saakashvil who made all the major changes at the infrastructure and improved the city.
I just love walking there, visiting little cafes, just strolling along the streets. Luckily the weather was great, sunny and warm. The streets were filled with tourists, which actually I like, I quite like the buzz of different languages around me. Cafes with live music are everywhere, you just have to choose where exactly to go, which actually can be quite hard. I especially like Singer cafe and Friend's cafe, the atmosphere is amazing. Not to mention gorgeous and mostly very stylish Georgians. Also, Georgians are very religious, so there are a lot of churches everywhere big and small.

Minankari

To anyone interested with antiques my advice is to go to Dry bridge, that is where the flea market is situated. Also if you are interested in jewelry, there is gorgeous Georgian traditional jewelry style called Minankari it's made of baked enamel, I'll insert the picture with example. Also Georgian wine, there are a lot of different wine houses, wine shops, vineyards and etc. Just go and try. So because it is not an educative type of post, I'll just insert a couple of other pictures.

Also, outfit that I'm wearing on the photo is
Dress - Zara
Cardigan - Oodji (Great Russian high street brand)
Shoes - Sasha Fabiani
Bag - local store
Necklace - local silver shop

Have you ever been to Georgia?
Tell me about your experience.

How to shop on a budget

Hello my lovelies,

I’ve been busy and had no chance to write, so  I really missed you guys)
So, today’s topic is “Shopping on a budget”
Very important topic to all fashionistas) And I wanted to give you some tips that I’ve tried)

So,

• • Before you go shopping go through your closet and see what essentials your wardrobe is missing, maybe you still don’t’ have LBD)
• • Then, sit down and write down all the things you have to buy, but write only those things that you actually need) Then you need to write down how much money you can spend on each item of your list
• • So, the hardest thing is when you are actually shopping) So, when you go to shop and want to buy something there you need to check your list and see if you need this thing and can you afford it or not
• • Also, you don’t have to buy things in the first shop, you can walk to others and see if you can find something better
• • Finally if you managed to buy all the things you need and you still have some money left, and you want to buy something else ask yourself “Do I love it or just like it?” And if the answer is “just like” don’t buy it! You don’t need it!

BTW that question is great ask yourself “Do I love it or just like it?” every time you’re buying something.

• • Also, I know tastes differ, but in my opinion it’s better to shop alone. This way you don’t get distracted by others. And you won’t buy things that you don’t need.

By the by, you can get great deals in outlets.

Well, do you have some shopping secrets? Please, do share…

xoxo

Azerbaijan Fashion Week

Hello everyone,
Last week was quite exciting because there was a great event "Azerbaijan Fashion Week". I, obviously, was there to see our designers and the ones who came from other countries.
First designer that I want to talk about is Georges Mak, Lebanese designer from France. I absolutely fell in love with his works. It's just art. It reminds of Zuhair Murad and Elie Saab. Glamour and gorgeousness itself. Very feminine and sexy. If you haven't heard of him, then check him out.
Another guest designer that I want to talk about was Aynur Turisbek from Kazakhstan, very modern collection, all black colours, very interesting and bold collection. Also there were great designers like Alexandre Delima, Datuna from Georgia, Julia Aysina from Ukraine.
From Azerbaijani designers I want to point out Gunel Behbudova and Libas couture. Being honest, I didn't expect such great works.
Later, I'll post an interview with Georges Mak that I took. Being a fashion junkie it was great to have a compliment about my style from a person making such beautiful pieces as he does.
I want to thank everyone who made it happen. L'officiel Azerbaijan, Fairmont hotel, Ambassade de la Beauté, Mac, #FridayAz for photos and many other individuals.
I include photos of me with Georges Mac, me at backstage, wedding dress by Gunel Behbudova, wedding dress by Libas Couture worn by special guest amazing Lyubov Gutorova, and a dress by Georges Mak. I have also posted videos from a couple of catwalks on my instagram.

Don't hesitate to comment and
Enjoy!

How to clean out your closet

Hello everyone!

Summer is coming, and most of us will be buying new clothes, updating our wardrobes. Most of us have a problem of nothing to wear and I think it's time for a closet clean out, it will help with "nothing to wear" problem and will make some space for new clothes. I'm doing it twice a year: in autumn and spring. So now it's time for one.
Step 1. Take everything out
So, first thing first is takig everything out of your wardrobe, every single thing. Put away all your stuff that you won't be wearing during spring and summer, warm coats, winter shoes, warm sweaters and winter accessories such as scarves, gloves and hats. Also before putting them out make sure that everything is clean.
Step 2. Sort everything out and put back on hangers
You can sort clothes in: donate, throw out, and keep piles.
Before putting clothes on hangers ask yourself a couple of questions:
Does it fit? - If not, but you really love this item, can you tailor it, if not donate.
Have you worn this item in the past year? - If not, donate or throw out.
Is it damaged? - If yes, throw out, or if it can be fixed does it worth doing it or is it easier to buy a new thing.
Does it represent my style and do I want to wear it? If not, donate it.
So when you sorted everything before putting clothes on hangers look on the hangers, throw away cheap plastic ones, because they are actually bad for your clothes. Invest in some good ones and they will help your clothes live longer and will look more neat in your closet.
Step 3. Go shopping and have fun!

Tips:

• Organise your closet the way you like, it may be colour wise or any other useful to you way.
• After cleaning out, look at your clothes and write down everything that you need in your wardrobe, those clothing basics that you don't have and use this list during your future shopping session.
• Use shelf dividers and organisers.
• Do not forget to go through your shoes and accessories

Don't hesitate to comment and
Enjoy!
