Day in Mouldy Back garden

Waiting for upcoming spring.Nothing special , just again , my beloved and mouldy back garden , basically melted snow and some clothing that I am looking forward to wear in spring or whenever winter is going to be away. Just to make a point over here, don`t be shy people to pop into charity shops (nobody cares anyway, so stop pretending to be some posh royalty) , because they usually have some good stuff and you will donate some money for a good cause as well e.g. women who has breast cancer, people in Ebola crisis etc. I`ve got this coat for £14 in charity shop (I saw literally the same one in ASOS for around £70) << That is just a label and brand trust. As well as, explore other sources for shopping , not just the names you know. This Bomber Jacket is from Vintage shop called "Wanderland" for £30 .I managed to get it during those free 30 minutes when I was working in Clothes Show Live.p.s Really nice girls work over there. Jeans , nothing special- Primark. Although ripped it myself (That`s what I do with all my jeans). So for the last , shoes and shirt is my purchase from trip in New York. Shirt - H&M $7 and shoes- Forever 21 $25. To sum up, be creative when you go shopping because you will end up wearing same stuff like half of the women in your area.

New York, New York....



So recently I had a trip to New York .. I though since I write life style and `fashion` blog, I have to mention this trip. There is no way I can describe it one word or three. Always watched movies , where I could see all those tall buildings, rushing poeple, expensive shops, yellow taxis, upper east side houses and so on, and so on... And now I had  a chance to see everything with my own eyes. Not everything is as gorgeous as it looks like in movies, and surely not everybody is as fashionable as I thought they might be. Well, winter season is not a best season to dress fashionably, since everybody is trying to layer them selves up to avoid cold. As well as, we had a chance to be in the middle of the amazingly cold Blizzard.(Horribly cold, but had to ignore it and trip in New York anyways, couldn`t waist a day staying in the hotel). 

Reason why we went to New York was meetings in variaty of companies. You may recall some of the names, but some not(becouse of blizzard we had some changes in our schedule as well). Hat Attack, Macy`s , Wilson Retail, Bottomless closet, Anthropologie , Lencing etc. I am just gonna point out some things from my stay in New York . I am not going to flood with all experience that I had , couse in that case I might as well start writing a book.There might be some tips as well, that I have learned myself i guess.

Brooklyn Bridge . Thet`s where you can see it all. Manhattan , Statue of Liberty, Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn ....






Don`t be lazy. Go to central Park. It`s massive but worth seeing it. If you can, why not walk on the bridges;)



Go to Metropolitan Museum , ITS FREE. If you have a big heart aand money , you can pay 20$, but you don`t have to...
Browse, read. You`ll find amazing pieces in there, some of them worth stealing...


When travelling metro, make sure you are in the right place and going the right way, couse they are confusing and there`s soo many ways you can go. P.S. Don`t trust everybody when you ask which train to take, couse they may not know them selves, which is the reason why you may end up in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan. Be aware, fellas.p.s. once you pass the entrance , you can`t get back for another 18minutes, be sure you`re going the right way ;)

Enjoy your evenings :)

Don`t wear heels if you`re trippn` back and forward :) p.s not that much of a pleasure walking back

FOOOOOD. TRY IT ALL. All of us has gained at least a lit bit of waight but it was worth it. Go to restaurants just for a couple of days, couse you might be broke soon. Don`t forget about taxes and minimum 15% tips, which makes a lot more than your actual meal costs.. This is an amazing Italian restaurant , where we were served by friendly, Italian owner . Pizza was amazing , buuuut .....see below


......you can always get Pizza for 1$. no taxes, no tips, just 1$. As simple as it is, as tasty as any other. Good way to save up your money ...

Madisson Squere Garden. Thinking of going to see the games? Don`t buy a ticket in advance. Get it on the game day, you`ll save at least half of a price (y)

IIIIf you are under 21, don`t even try to go out, couse nobody will let you in. And if you are, make sure you know WHERE you going , couse you`re gonna end up paying 30$ for taxi driver because he was driving around Manhattan looking for a club that probbaly doesn`t even exist anymore!!! :)) Oh , and prices are high as ..... having enough money is  a priority (that`s where I made a mistake . ha ) . Anyways, with all the issues it was a good 21st :)
