Weekend getaway


Last weekend I spent magically surrounded by wonderful people traveling my all! So enjoyable.
We took off late on Friday just to be in St.-Petersburg at 5 o'clock in the morning. All this for one: to get on a bus to Finland in time. It wasn't my first time there but I haven't seen the towns we headed to. Kotka and Hamina were lovely and full of super enjoyable snow. I love how cute and neat Finnish towns are! Never the same yet bearing the sibling resemblance. We walked and walked laughing all the way. It's been years since I traveled in such a big group and enjoyed more than I planned!



Kotka and Hamina views:



















On Sunday we didn't stay in St. Petersburg for long again choosing new place again. Vyborg is an old defensive city used to be Swedish, Russian and Finnish. Its condition isn't perfect but we enjoyed walking there a lot as well. Local castle and museum left us inspired and happy (also warm, right). Our company grew even bigger and I have to admit the company makes everything look brighter. I absolutely adored the chilly experience of Vyborg as well. Oh, if only they took more care about it.
















My outfit is very warm and has more or utility than style. We traveled super lightly and didn't have anything extra we didn't need that is why outfit is practically the same both days. velvet pants totally rock for winter!




 I was wearing:
Forever 21 sweater
Monki pants, socks and top (under)
Uniqlo coat
Caterpillar boots
c/o Glassesshop glasses
c/o Zaful necklace

 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

    I think it's a little too cold to travel around isn't it? Weather is not an excuse I guess when you are having fun. The pictures are awesome.

    It looks like a lot of fun in the snow. It's always fun to go some place new. Even if it's not the first time. Your outfit looks warm which is way more important then style when it's that much snow. :)

    It looks beautiful but are you not cold. I move from a warmer to colder city in the United states. I have anxiety everytime it snows. I would leave just my eyes out. 😂

Follow the White Rabbit

You don't really have to have a reason to dress nicely and walk outside the doors. That is exactly what my outfit is about. Also I wanted to take some outfit photos in the new place (new mural, yay!) and show this beautiful Alice in Wonderland. Follow the White Rabbit and enjoy the weekend as much as I do!
I wore my favorite culottes and finally my favorite sneakers (so fast to put on), my favorite jacket with actual pockets and nice fit and Sun glasses! I need sun glasses. I so stupidly excited about that. 



I was wearing:
c/o Glasseshop sun glasses
c/o Zaful jacket
Uniqlo cullottes
Fila sneakers

Have a nice day, Lyosha

Ryazan getaway

I don't normally do that but.. last week I've been on a weekend getaway with my friends. We didn't have much time and finances so we picked something nearby. We took train to Ryazan and had a total blast. It is an old city. once very major and a capital of Ryazan duchy during the feudal times. It once was a border town during the Genghis Khan Mongol raids. Its history dates back to 1095 so there is a lot to learn. Now it's in top 20 biggest Russian cities and has a lot to offer to tourist. From historic Kremlin and Churches to ruined USSR heritage and modern funny statues on famous saying ('Even mushrooms have eyes in Ryazan' which goes back to borderline days) and soviet movies. It was a little vacation filled with so much joy I couldn't help but share with you. It was a tiny bit cold there but it was so worth it! I can't help and want to show you the trip.








And the sights:

Fallow Deer

Yesterday Russia celebrated International Women's Day. I take it as a day when we remember why we need to fight to equal rights but a lot of people here celebrate it as day to remind girls to be pretty and inspire men. I don't really want to discuss it and get sad. Also a lot of people (me included) take it as a day to spread love to your female relatives. I went to see my grandmother. I love her so much! My fantastic mother was there with us as well. Our favorite men: my husband, my father and grandfather (I love his mustache so much!) - came as well. But as regular family time is boring, something new and exciting isn't. Not long before we found out about Fallow Deer shelter not far from my grandparent's place. We decided to add it to our tour. And here we were! The place is awesome. I am crazy about the idea of putting people in improvised cage while actual animals run free. How do we get to see them? There is spot where they eat next to the 'visitor cage'.…
