Azerbaijan Fashion Week and fashion shows

Hello my lovelies, today I'm telling you about Azerbaijan Fashion Week and sharing some photos and videos from it.

Azerbaijan fashion week was from 30th of November till 3rd of December at Boulevard Hotel Baku. Obviously I couldn't miss that event. Let's start from the fact that there are two types of fashion week's here, but AFW is the best one.

Beside the shows there were also workshops, seminars, pop up shops and also movies shows about fashion industry. Speakers for seminars were: fashion buyer Georgy Rostovshikov, owner and producer of Aurora Fashion Week in Saints Petersburg, Russia, and Mr. Andreevs' public talk on upcoming trends.
I was really impressed by some designers, obviously Igor Chapurin, whose designs I've been loving for years now. Also Datuna, Georgian designer, with very simple, laconic yet chic and beautiful designs. I've literally fallen in love with his dress. Obviously Rosa Clara show was just amazing with their wedding dresses. Math, Russian brand of men's fashion, really impressive, I would advice girls to look to their collection if you're looking for present for you other half. And Salle de Mode, another Georgian brand with amazing accessories. Gorgeous bags and shoes.
If you are interested in Azerbaijan Fashion Week, then you should visit afw.az. And also if you are interested and understand Azerbaijani language, I took interview from Datuna, it will be up soon on Xanim.net. Later I will publish it here in Russian and English. With that being said, enjoy some photos and videos from Azerbaijan Fashion Week here.

Here are my photos with journalists, Georgian designer Irma Sharikadze, fashion buyer Georgy Rostovshikov, Georgian designer Datuna, Russian designer Igor Chapurin, and selfish with the founder and owner of Aurora Fashion Week in Russia.

Don't hesitate to comment and enjoy,

Xoxo,

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

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!

xoxo
