Today’s look-of-the-day is very straw happy. It was unusually hot for April yesterdays so, in the interest of savoring the moment and maximizing on the opportunity, we decided to go to the beach. It turned out to be something of a premature endeavour because it was too windy by the water and the beach was extremely overcrowded – I guess we were all a little eager. But the day was still beautiful and relaxing. I felt like wearing something flowy and romantic so I paired a loose silk dress with a high waist silk coat. I then added a straw tote and pumps for a fresh, quintessentially summer feel.

Leather Pants
I had been looking for a well-fitting pair of skinny leather pants and yesterday I finally found them at Club Monaco. I knew the moment had finally come as soon as I finished squeezing into them in the change room and looked in the mirror 
. The sales girl assured me that they would stretch to fit my body and considering that I have zero experience with faux leather I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. As you may have noticed, I’m a strong supporter of natural fabrics but I am willing to make a compromise for these babies. So far I’m satisfied (but them again, I’ve only worn them for a total of an hour).
Silk Cello
Today’s look-of-the-day carries a musical theme, with an almost romantic air to it. After the Russian sauna, I went to a house party last night. It was being hosted by my brother, Taras and one of his friends – a professional cello player, Min. Wine, cheese, hookah, and heated debates on the topic of ‘free will vs. determinism’ made the party engaging and relaxing at the same time. The apple-pie and mojitos were also a nice touch. Good job guys…’Great Success’!!!
Dusty Bluish-Grey
I was asked a question recently in relation to sequin dresses and I thought that it might be helpful for me to answer it on the blog. This was the message from one of my YouTube subscribers : “I want to wear a silver clingy, one shoulder sequin dress, but I hate my legs. Would be okay if I wore tall leather boots instead of pumps?”
Cozy in Blue
Since it’s Thursday today I’m going to have to keep this look-of-the-day post short, because, as some of you may know, I have a banya to go to. For this look I paired a cashmere sweater dress with a cropped tuxedo jacket and a long necklace. When the climate permits, I could also wear this tuxedo jacket with a simple tee and a mini or over a silk dress (as Sienna Miller has done in the last picture).
