Myshkin and River Cruising

 

I definitely needed that cruise. I feel so much better today! It was such a wonderful trip to me. The weather was good, there was a tiny bit of rain the first night but after that it was food. There even was sunny on our last purely cruising day. I think we will cruise a lot more next year, especially as there budget-friendly weekend options available. It was a three-day (starting late Friday) cruise with only one stop on a way: Myshkin. Myshkin is most likely named so not because of Mouse (which shocking for Russian speaking person having it mascot animal as mouse and even as part of coat of arms) but as letter changing from original Myskin (mys is cape in Russian). But there is also a legend of Russian ruler being saved by running mouse from poisonous snake. A lot of people believe that both stories are true. Anyway, right now Myshkin is all about mice, there are tons of jokes (for example stating both human population and approx mice population head to head), tiny monuments and themed souvenirs. After USSR finished Myshkin decided to be a touristic destination and I love it for it. I did enjoy touring in it, visiting countless museums and learning new.





My outfit is very warm and comfortable as I wanted to walk a lot not bothered by weather at all. Frankly on the river I mostly wore a hoodie or just a top if I wasn't going to stand outside for a hour or so. I chose bright accessories to my outfit more attractive and thus blogging friendly.
























I was wearing:
H&M Metallica top
Befree jeans
Uniqlo hoodie and jacket
Fila sneakers

 

Have a nice day,

  28. Sounds like a wonderful cruise. I find river cruises much nicer than those that ruin the oceans....I enjoyed reading about Myshkin - it sounds very East European - like something from Gogol.

  42. I love river cruising. The slow pace of life around a river is so relaxing. Just lay back and read a book while you cruise gently.

  45. It looks like a lovely trip. I love cruises whether a lake, river or the sea. I actually get sea sick, but as long as I can sit out on deck I am fine!! So cruises are great for that. And so refreshing.

  46. Wow so happy for you and a little jealous too. Just joking. I love water and these short cruises.Lovely pics which made me feel I was cruising with you.

  47. Cheers to the Metallica top! And most of all, congrats on getting away in the midst of all this chaos with the pandemic. I'm jealous as we just cancelled our cruise for January due to so many restrictions I don't want to deal with for 11 days. You look COLD thought and I hate being cold, but you're smiling and having fun, so it must not have been a huge deal, good for you!

Explore Starcon

I'm going to brake up vacation post series to share the Starcon experience. A week ago I was sitting on the same spot and getting ready to go. We've been to lovely Saint  Petersburgh. We managed to have a charming walk in the  evening even right after the con. Starcon was all about sci-fi and we loved it so much. We even wore the Jedi costumes (wait for them in the end of post). Max, my lovely husband, sewed them for only 3 days (that's why the design is so simple). and I also got 2d place in Star Wars Miniatures board game tournament took place there. I'm so happy! As for outfit - I've chosen a super comfy outfit with a very cool pants! I bought them on ebay and they are more than 20 year old pants (I guess soon they could buy booze on their own but I doubt I need it). I love them for their shape - keeping me cool during hot and warm when needed. Oh, and can I also call it my pijama pants trend pants? or not? What I also wanted to mention you are my fab set jewel

Say 'yes' to a dress with Yesbabyonline

When you start on inspiration posts it hard to spot. At least for me. I feel like I am half awake in my bed, feeling super lazy and have to strict plans for the morning so I am hitting the 'snooze' button. I almost hear myself saying 'five more minutes' and I do mean five more minutes but I fail and hit 'show me more' button. Inspiration from online shops devour me. Yes it is budget friendly (you don't need to buy things even though you do want to) but it is not safe for your time. I can't really say I am against it, it is a good to relax and is also useful if you need to wait for your partner to finish some stuff to do. This evening it works especially well because I am waiting for my husband to finish the page. I am more or less limited by time so my online inspiration will be most pleasing. As always I wanted to set up a topic to make it even better. My topic for today is long formal dresses . Out of tons of online shop I picked the best for me toda

МКММ + Couture Fashion Show

So! I am so very excited! I have visited my first real actual fashion show ever since March and I couldn’t ever be happier. It’s just wow! This time I visited MKMM final shows merged with Couture Fashion Show later that night. I had a chance to see many wonderful shows by young and talented designers and enjoyed it a lot. Creativity everywhere. Something is purely catwalk (and I totally don’t mind it at all), something that is very easy to imagine rushing the streets, something very creative and futuristic and making a statement with so much in between. Overall in love. I don’t think I really can be picky because after all those digital shows real made a huge impression on me. It almost as if I am visiting my first ever fashion show but better because I know what to expect. I think you are not reading this and already scrolled past this point and enjoy the contestants. And don’t blame you at all.  RU: Прекрасные новости! Мой первый настоящий офлайн показ с марта месяца. И он оказася пр
