I'd rather be there

Hello!
This week is roller-coaster! Nothing goes as planned and I have more plans than I hoped I would. Nothing is blog related but I actually don't mind it that much. But I was late with regular posting and I actually a little sad about that. 
Today I want to share with you a quick throwback to Zanzibar because it is exactly where I want to be now.


This is not something new because one of the photos above is my Facebook profile picture, you might have seen it many times. I was wearing a long sleeved shirt to cover my hands. I tested different sunscreen and it worked poorly so I gave my hands some extra love for two days.The top was awesome for that: I enjoyed extra protection without suffering from extra warmth. I'd definitely trade abnormally cold Moscow with Zanzibar this instant. I miss the high and low tides, white sand and warm ocean. as well as wearing sunglasses because I need them not because I just want to wear it
And a selfie with turtle. because I just have to have one posted on my blog.
I was wearing:
c/o iGlassesshop glasses
DKNY dress
Monki top
Adidas slippers
very old and not branded hat

 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

  1. Ah!! All that sunshine full of vitamin D. Doesn't it make you feel sad. Nothing beats all that natural sunshine to lift your spirits. You wake up everyday in Zanzibar smiling.

  6. I miss the beach too. There's just something about them that's very mesmerizing and calming, especially when you hear the sea waves and see the sun set.

  21. This looks like a fantastic trip and I can understand why you'd like to visit again! I love animals and especially reptiles, so that turtle looks like a wonderful reason to go there. I'm sure there's much more wildlife to enjoy.

  22. I hear you when it comes to the sunscreen! It doesn't matter what I use, it never seems to be enough in warmer areas like that. I burned really bad (second degree burns) in Mexico despite using a high SPF sunscreen regularly, so I tend to err on the side of caution and choose longer sleeved options when I can. That top looks really comfortable and perfect for that situation!

  23. Such lovely photos! I love sunshine, and breezy weather. This throwback is beautiful, and I'd love to just soak up some sun, and have my feet in the sand. Ah, sounds so nice!

  29. Who doesn't want a selfie with a giant turtle? I'd love that myself. Lol. I can totally understand your feelings of wanting to be back there. The weather and the beach look absolutely gorgeous! We are also back being locked down, while many other parts of the country are fully open, and it is a struggle. But these pics lifted my spirit because you took me there too through them.

Dia del Taco

Would you head to the city centre to stay in the queues to eat some cheap taco, listen to mariachis and watch lucha libre for your your birthday? Because that is exactly what I happily did! It was so much fun! I was very tired after but it was So worth it. I do hope to repeat it next year because March 31st is Taco day in Mexico. I do hope to enjoy it even more next time! As it was my birthday I wanted to wear something more flashy and festive. I went with sexy skirt, basic top and my most comfortable shoes. I felt edgy and beautiful. May be a little overdressed but who cares as it was my birthday! Who said 'taco'? I was wearing: H&M skirt (yes, i still kinda shocked they made such a beautiful and well made silky perfection) Doc Marten's Cuidado con el Perro top (I wear this shop a lot, but they seem to be so cute and affordable, I found a lot of joy in buying a top once in a while) Coach bag Necklace gift from my partner long before Fossil watch (last year'

A year of my life 2.0

It's been a year since I have moved to Mexico and honestly it still feels like a dream come to true to me. I am so happy and fulfilled here, it is incredible. I am half-way scared I might jinx it. I do pray I won't. I am also very happy how my adaptation went/goes here. I thought it might be useful to many people who relocate to a very different climate and also different culture (always applies) to share some of my tips. Each of them contributed to my well being here. I feel very local here. After all they joke Mexicans are born wherever they feel like. May be it was meant for me to live here that is why I adapted so well. Anyways, here is my piece of mind: 1 Have your eyes opened. Adapt to new reality. It is not your previous home with benefits, it is completely different. Don't expect it to be like your before-home but better in each and every position. 2 People at your new place and the place itself are not "them", it is called "us" now. Start with

Pool time!

It is finally warm enough for a pool! Can't say I am a water baby but it was very nice for me. And Just look at the super cute Ada Maria in her baby bikini. Awww, my heart melted. I definitely felt like a mom-mom in my one piece swimsuit with ruffles and a huge floppy hat. I mean, isn't it what fancy pool moms looked like when I was little. I am a little shocked to realize.. I am one of them now! P.S. it is not nearly as warm today or yeasterday but I am staying hopeful for hitting the pool or a beach  very soon.
