45 things to do before summer ends

Что успеть сделать, пока лето еще не закончилось. 45 Идей

So, it’s the last month of the summer already, but it seems like I haven’t got enough of it. So, I wanted to share with you guys a list of things you can try to do before it ends. It’s my personal “to do” list, which keeps me inspired and motivates me to create/work/do more.

Итак, уже август, но, кажется, что лето только началось. Я часто не успеваю сделать то, что запланировала, поэтому стараюсь приучить себя к составлению планов / списков вещей, которые нужно сделать. Это мотивирует и вдохновляет. Данный список, скорее, мой личный “to do” list, но, надеюсь, что и вы найдете в нем что-то для себя.

30 ideas: how to enjoy your summer without an expensive vacation.

30 идей: как приятно провести время летом, если нет возможности уехать в отпуск.

1. Восприятие

Для начала, нужно поменять отношения к месту, где вам предстоит провести большую часть лета. Попробуйте найти в нем, как можно больше положительных моментов. Например, если это маленький город – близость к природе, возможность дышать свежим воздухом, родной город – общение с родственниками и встречи с близкими друзьями, мегаполис – возможность наслаждаться развитой инфраструктурой и всеми благами цивилизации и т.п.

1. Think positive

At first, you have to realize that the place you’re going to stay for the whole summer isn’t that bad. You can’t go on vacation to the islands, so what? You have to get the right feelings about it and think positive. For example, if you’re living in a small town, try to think about being close to the nature; if it’s your hometown, realize that you will be able to see your close friends and relatives and spend more time with them, isn’t it good? So, concentrate on positive things around you.

Inspiration Friday: summer by the sea

Unfortunately, I’m going to start this post with my apologies for not writing anything for a very long time. Again… I’m really sorry for that, I was in the middle of the work and other important things to do, so I had no time to write anything. But after opening my blog one day, I’ve realized how much I miss it and, at the same time, blog definitely needs some reconstruction.
I always wanted to share with you guys something personal: not only my thoughts, but inspiration, advices and my opinion about everything. But before this moment, I thought that mixing it all up isn’t really good idea. For example, if I’m a photographer, it would be best for me to have a photography blog only. But now I’m thinking, why not writing about everything I like? I already have my tumblr account, where you can see my photography, so why can’t create something special here, which hopefully will inspire you too?
I’m going to reorganize the blog by creating some sections for every theme I’d like to write about. So, it will be easier for you to read it by theme you’re interested in. I’ll do it soon and now I’d like to share with you some inspiring photos of the sea and relaxing summer mood. I can’t have a vacation right now, but these pictures give me some summer energy and positive emotions. Hope you’ll enjoy it!

К сожалению, мне снова придется начать пост с извинений за то, что пропала на долгое время. Работа и прочие дела совершенно вывели меня из колеи, и не было сил о чем-либо писать. Открыв свой блог, я поняла, как соскучилась по нему. И, в то же время, осознала, что он нуждается в реконструкции.
Мне очень часто хочется писать что-то более личное, делиться вдохновением, советами и накопленным опытом в тех или иных областях. До этого момента, я считала, что не стоит «смешивать» все воедино. То есть, если я занимаюсь фото, то и блог должен быть о фото и т.п. Но сейчас я уже думаю, а почему бы и нет? Я постараюсь реорганизовать блог таким образом, чтобы все его разделы было удобно читать, и вы легко смогли найти интересующую вас тему.
В ближайшие дни я займусь воплощением этой идеи, а пока, хочу поделиться с вами фото, которые дадут вам заряд летней энергии. Пока у меня нет возможности поехать в отпуск к морю или океану, именно они напоминают мне о лете.

Wardrobe organizing tips.Как организовать свой гардероб

I’m sure every girl likes shopping (at least I really do!) and I used to buy everything I like once I saw it in the shop or online. But buying stuff without thinking clearly isn’t good for anyone. So, after some time, I end up with huge closed full of clothing, which sometimes I don’t wear at all or don’t like anymore.

After my trip to Japan few years ago, I bought tons of clothes, accessories and shoes. I was so happy and into them that I’ve been wearing it for about 2-3 years (of course, I used to buy other garments to add to my wardrobe and mixed them). That time I used to like floral prints, bright colors, eclectic and bright style. But then, as you see me now, I got tired of that crazy style and figured out that I love minimalistic style and I want everything to be clean, laconic, simple and beautiful.

So, then I had a problem of organizing my wardrobe for the first time. It was a transition period of my life and I definitely wanted some changes. So, I’ve sold half of my wardrobe on eBay, some of the garments I gave to my friends and the other half I’ve donated to local charity organisation. But even then I had a huge closet. So, I’ve decided to find a way to avoid this situation and have started reading various advices over the internet and asking my friends about their wardrobe organizing routine.

Longing for summer

So,I actually won't start this post with apologies for being silent for so long. I just want to share with you some of inspiring photos I found recently and hope you'll enjoy it. Кarlie Кloss by Ryan McGinley for T Magazine’s Winter 2012 shot in Nicaragua. Styling by Sara Moonves.Hair and makeup by Holli Smith.

I've been enjoying extremely warm weather and the mood of spring in February, hoping that the summer is closer than ever. And then,few weeks later, we have a tons of snow and the second round of winter. Here we go, at least my boyfriend is extremely happy, because he loves winter and freezing weather.

So, what about me? Along with working at some big projects, I've completely fell into daily routine and some unfinished business in my hometown. Between work days in big cities and a quite life of the town, sometimes it feels so boring, but most of the times I don't have a time to think about it. It's crazy rhyth here. But I like it, I need this speed to move forward.

Hope you're doing well and already have your summer! When mine will come, I'm sure it will be great!
