Inside and Outside

Not long ago I shared with you my plans on spending Valentine's day with my better half. I decided it would be fun share actual date as well. Why? To show how different can be similar plans depending on the exact locations you choose. For example here not only we went to different restaurants (even though they are more or less in the same category/price range) but also different concert hall. This alone affects the date greatly but I wanted to show it. Also it is a reason to repeat without actual repeating as a date idea which is a great idea for long time partners. In you are in the relationship for over 10 years it's pretty hard to think up something completely new without traveling. Even something very simple like a mix of classical music and a cake can be very different if you approach it differently.

I actually had this outfit in mind for ages and it was in category to shoot when I have to shoot an outfit or if I need an outfit to wear just about now without really having a clue or inspiration what to wear.

I was wearing: H&M vest Uniqlo shirt Jil Sander boots c/o Moon Love necklace Celine bag shorts Befree   Have a nice day, Lyosha

It is an issue for many people here that the differences are not embraced and even among the majority of people of Russia various habits, cultures, languages and traditions are not supported and seen as wrong, while on the Russians (Slavic people) are seen as real Russians and only their culture is appropriate. It is a very important day to me as well being a minority. Today I want to show the collections from Tatarstan region (and I highly recommend to take a look at the first six costumes because after all this a blog of a Tartar girl) and Bashkotostand region (both by Millihasite group), Tyva (two different shows), Sakha (north Syberia) and Bryansk (a collection of typically seen as "from Russia"), there also was a collection from fellow Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (the latter from Happy Bir...
