Last weekend I was in very popular place during Spring in Cracow - in botanical garden. There are plants from verious continents such as Africa, South America or Australia. There are palms, orchideas, cactus, tulips, roses. All of the plants are divided into tematic sections. I was there pretty late so not a lot of plants decayed (for example: magnolia and some of tulips). Despite this fact I was happy to be there. But this post is not about trips - it is about my outfit. I chose delicate, pastel pink dress in A-shape with embroidery. These days in fashion are jeans jackets so I thought that joining this would be perfect. Also I wore sport shoes to match with the jacket. Make-up is finishing this look: pinkish- greyish eyeshadow on whole eyelid with light pink lips looks so fresh and perfect for a girl in her teenage years! Have a look!

Warm days this year here are coming very slowly... but we have hope for warm days that we can spend with our friends! For this occasion I prepared fresh and girly outfit including so fashionable these days element of flowers. Let's see!
Shirt - ZARA Skirt - Pull&Bear Jacket - Pull&Bear Shoes - ZARA (Bought them about 5 years ago, but they still fit !) Bag - ZARA (Fits perfectly to lips! Lipstick:H&M)
A book that I was reading these days were letters of Van Gogh to his brother (That was shown on blog too. ). Song that inspired me to this post was BTS' "Spring Day". Very catchy song (as an outfit).Really recommend it to You! Wish You a lot of inspiration!
On 13th of November I participated in Vintage fashion fair which had taken a place at hotel Forum. We could have seen there a lot of stands on which we could buy a lot of clothes/jewelery/things of course in old style, and everything in accompaniment of music from old years in new scene of DJ Funklore.
Tables sagged from the jewelery:
There was also a stand with amazing corsets (one of them I had a pleasure to wear):
It was amazing but expensive...
There were also classes of doing hair in the style of pin-up and execution of hats I ,,hunted" there few items from which I am really happy and I use them daily. Of course I worn for this event clothes in vintage theme. Shirt with binding in rose-colour in combination with black jeans gives modern-classic look. Have a look:

Hello after quite a long break! The holidays are over 2 months ago, but I had to have some time to deal with it -_- Now I'm going to work hard again - 1 recipe for 2 weeks is my target, more or less possible ;]

I was a little bit dissapointed because of the small amount of interactiv elements. When I was watching transmissions from, for example - New York, this seemed to show bigger... This is the only one disadvantage for me :)
Maybe You visited this exhibition? What is Your opinion about it?
Welcome back after holidays! Ah... cold (school) times have begin... That's why I prepared outfit for icy days.
Do You remember boyfriend jeans from previous post? This is second developement of them! I added to them woolen sweater (on out of my big, soft collection). But wait a minute! It had to be blue! That's why I matched to it long, azure coat with big pockets and blue shoes made of imitation of snake's leather. Roomy, gray backpack completes the stylization. And hairstyle which made a furore was made by my friend from class. Thank you! And have a look:
Trousers - PULL AND BEAR Sweater - ZARA Coat - ZARA Shoes - ZARA Backpack - ZARA
Guess, how long trip I had?
And this is my autumn comeback! Hope You will use this post as inspiration to Your everyday stylizations and You won't have so much problems before wardrobe every morning! And now time for announcement! Now, You can find me on Instagram! My account name is @lilya_OH. You will find there a lot of inspirational photos from my everyday life if You would like to know more about me! I invite You there!
Holiday has officially started for almost everyone. This is time off from getting up very early, homeworks, grades, tests and going to sleep very late. But that's not time off from fashion! We relax, meet with friends that we haven't seen for so long. But we also find time for trips. Outfit for that kind of attractions must be comfortable and practical. You won't wear high heels and short dress to climb to the top of Giewont! That's why I prepared an outfit that doesn't fits my style, because I'm not very active 😂. But I made my best for You! This outfit includes trousers in which I fell in love - boyfriend jeans. Usually I use them in more elegant outfits (that I will show you soon with clothing pieces that I "hunted" during sales), but this time I used them in another way. I added very soft t-shirt with stripes in white and navy blue colour with little stars and slip-on shoes in snake's skin print in cobalt colour. You can add a backpack made of jeans or another organic fabric. Here You have some photos:
Trousers - PULL AND BEAR T-shirt - ZARA Shoes - ZARA
Let's say few words about photos. They were taken by fantastic photographer and my friend - Sara. I hope You'll see more results of our cooperation.
I wish You active holidays and I hope that in place that You'll be visiting will be good weather. Please, have a lot of fun during playing with fashion while You'll be waiting for next post with more crazy ideas that I will show You!
Let me tell You about event that I participated in. It was Magnificon (the biggest meeting of fans of manga and anime) 2016. Attractions dured about 3 days (27.05-29.05) - part of Friday, whole Saturday and Sunday in EXPO (Galicyjska Street 29). I was there only on Saturday but it was great experience. So - come on!
7:30
Waking up and making my cosplay!
Some words about my cosplay. It wasn't very sophisticated because I started thinking about it too late and I had some problems with choosing it (but this is another long story... :D).
Photos soon!
So this is basic Japanese school uniform, but I wanted it to be more unofficial. That's why I wore shorter skirt. And I gave up on kneesocks. I added dark blue ribbon to my loose pony tail.
I decided to have very light make-up so I used:
8:45
Arriving on place. First thing that I saw was a huge queue, but it was very quick.
When You'll find me You'll be masters
9:00
Walking in. The basement of EXPO is huge. Two floors: on the first one - enormous halls. On second - a lot of tables to eat something.
Calendarium was stuffed events like:
Let's say more about attractions:
Reading corner
Puffs and manga. What more is needed for otaku (huuuuge fan of manga, anime and Japan)? Maybe more money for more tomes of manga an trip to Japan. I saw there some interesting titles and I can't wait to read them!
Wearing traditional national costumes and writing your name in Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Hindu
This two attractions were organized by Instytut Bliskiego I Dalekiego Wschodu. Visitors could wear kimono [to precise - yukata (Japanese costume)], hanbok (Korean costume) and Sari (from India). I chose white yukata with violet flowers and beautiful,glistening obi (crimson).
They also could wrote Your name in Asian languages and it looked like that:
In order: Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean
Concerts of Japanese stars
We could see fantastic performances of Fumika, Bridear and Plasticzooms . I had a pleasure to see Fumika live and she was really friendly and talented!
I'm so sorry, but I couldn't find whole version of concert :'(
Lessons and pannels
There were shows about cosplay, make-up, music, Karaoke, history of Japan, street legends from Tokio shows of Samurai, and my favourite one: about LOLITAS (a fashion subculture originating in Japan that is based on Victorian and Edwardian clothing, but the style has expanded greatly beyond Japan) conducted by fantastic Russhian cosplayer Astarohime Koyu. She was talking about history, types, rules and community.
Here are some examples of her works:
Annnnnnd~ the most important one.......... COSPLAY!!!!
During 3 days we could see a lot of characteres from manga, anime, films and computer games. But the crowning of these days were 3 types of 1 contest:Cosplay Debiut, Cosplay Standatd and EURO Cosplay.
Cosplay Debiut - You want to try Your best for the first time on the stage in role of someone other? Try this type!
Cosplay Standard - next level of Cosplay Debiut - just for fun.
EURO Cosplay - Polish elimination for European contest of cosplay in London. Congratulation for the winner!
After all this things You are really hungry so you could try traditional Japanese food and desserts like sushi, tayaki, mochi, bubble tea or You could buy famous sets for making some deliciousness. But if You don't like this traditional yummy plates, You could buy such things like burgers or coffe.
With tayaki - mochi (personally - it was awful :/)
P.S. Sorry for my knee... xD
Stuff to buy:
There were enormous number of stuff. You could choose between pens, pillows, posters, potts, buttons, jewellery, teddies or even all costumes, wigs and lenses. But the most important one: manga. There where 3 stands of publishing houses. Used manga, new ones, a lot of titles and types - hundreds of them!
21:10
After all day spend inside the building I was so tried! That was my first this type of happening and - for sure - not last. You could talk with this people even you didn't know them before! The atmosphere was fantastic! On YouTube You can find a lot of relations from this happening. Maybe some of You were on that type of event?
I know that Coachella Festival has ended about 2 weeks ago, but I wanted to show my proposition how to dress up for this famous, annual event. We all know that on Coachella reigns BOHO - have a look at best looks from this year according to VOGUE (everything about this year festival) and from DONNA MORGAN blog:
Maybe my stylization is not that colourful and fancy, but for me, mine is not boring at all - LOOK:
Dress: ANGIE - TK MAXX Suede jacket: BERSHKA Trainers: CONVERSE - TK MAXX(These shoes are just sick!!!)
By adding some little details this stylization might be better. You can make a braid of your hair or just leave them as they looked as soon as you woke up! I made a gold line on my eyelids. This is not so visible but makes a big difference!
