I love clothes and fashion... I love stuff and things makes me happy. I used to have so many shoes.... and some of them I haven't even worn before... and ever.  I still have few shoes that I can't wear anymore since I had my son. My feet changed, just as much as my body did. I am still tiny size 2,5 to 3 (35-36 European) but now I also have wide feet.    Yeap my feet got fat! And some of my old shoes are no good anymore. Damn! So I still fit into my wedding shoes? Will have to check this later.  But as I got older I am trying to be more mindful of things I own. Sadly I would still get my things at cheap highstreet chains but I am getting less. I do not need tons of dresses and tees...  I came to realise that I wear only certain things. If before I would wear dressed and would never wear shorts, now I mainly wear shorts, jeans and tees ... best gear to chase the toddler around. Now I am more conscious about my stuff to go with one another rather j...

Makers will make... but not very often

I used to love making stuff. When I was in school back in Russia we all made "friendship bracelets" all the girls had them. Sometimes up to an elbow. Mainly from beads but also once I have learnt my basic macrame knots I taught all the girls around me. Oh and you wear them till they broke. Yeah not very hygienic ... eek. My hobby was indulged by parents and relatives who were giving me books, taking me to haberdashery to stock up on beads. Mind you it wasn't as well developed as now, coming across clasps, earring hooks was impossible, but we recycled old granny's stuff and reuse everything. Thinking of it my mother might still have most of my beads and books in the flat. I also made clothes, mainly skirts, since they were easy, I customized existing outfits. There was a talk in school to ban me from wearing certain things but that never came to be. All this cam from wanting to be unlike everyone else. I still would hate if I see some one wearing same thing as I ...

Love the box...

Well remember the time when people used subscribe to newspapers and magazine? Well I sort of do and I still subscribe to a magazine. It is cheaper I love it and I got a present for singing up. Not a very useful one but it I do use that cc cream every now and then.  I also as you know subscribe to an awesome My Little Box . I haven't been posting much about this but it is freaking awesome and still is. Their last one the dolce vita was marvellous, perfume is great, ring and head band are cute. But to be honest I haven't tried the leg cream, well I don't what or need my legs shiny. Mama is happy to have this amazing complexion that second my bare skin sees the sun it gets happy had glazed.  So I am running out of space for my samples and make-up and what nots so it looks like I will need to take the break for this. But we agreed to put money to something else. Like a man box. A nerdy man box.  Big man and I are away on father's day so we thought we get our dada...

When we wondered to Roath to feed the pigs. These aren't actual pig but guinea pigs:) So as you can see Cardiff is a wonderful diverse city!  Also piggies were so grateful that I fed them they went out and got me a bottle of red wine!
