White is everywhere this summer. Everyone loves white. It's crisp, innocent, sexy and fresh. It shows off your beautiful tan. It makes you stand out from the crowd. It makes you look (and feel!) young. And no, it does not make you look fat! No way! Just choose the right style and make sure it fits and you are going to look fabulous!
I was going to write a quick note tomorrow morning, but I am not sure if I will have time for it because, just as any woman, I plan things that would never fit into certain time frames (usually set by men, including my husband). Not like I am disorganised or anything - I just exist in a different dimension when it comes to getting ready and having plenty of beauty sleep.
Tomorrow we will be going away until Monday. Nothing too exciting, it's work/study related stuff. The good news is that we are staying in a lovely little cottage that's got a beautiful garden and the weather is meant to be nice, so I do hope we will get a chance to spend a few relaxing moments outside.
Anyway... What I am trying to say here, without being too boring, is that I will be back on Monday. Please miss me because I am going to miss you a lot.

Today I received this adorable award from Rocaille - thanks a lot, darling! It was such a nice surprise! So now all I have to do is to pick up 6 things that made me happy today. It's 1pm, so my day is still in its full glory, but as life is pretty busy at the moment (good busy, actually) it's filling up with little happy moments like there is no tomorrow.
1. It's a warm and sunny day and even early morning that's usually borderline gloomy was gorgeously dewy and refreshing
2. Charlie, the neighbours' cat came to be fed (it was her second breakfast, I believe) and played with (love this little fatty!)
3. I had a morning consultation with a client who is a real pleasure to talk to and I was also very happy with the progress she made so far.
4. I received a parcel from the outnet. Something very beautiful I am going to blog about later. 5. Delicious berries are in season, so for lunch I had an indulgent fruit salad made with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries (plus bananas, apples and grapes) - such a burst of flavours!
6. We are going out tonight and I will have a chance to dress up (can't wait!)
Now here is a list of nominees I would like to pass this award (and the happy things rule) to:Carrie @ Couture Carrie because I can't wait to read her answers and see a beautiful photo collage she'll most likely to create Evi @ Absolutely Lady Like because she is such a sweet person and I love her blog (Darling, I know you are busy, so whenever you have time) Hanh @ Life in Travel because I enjoy reading her blog and because she's got an amazing style and the most beautiful shoe collection I'd love to borrow (and keep... :) )
Love you, girls.

A set of Aubade Fleurs De Pommier lingerie.
What is your favourite fruit?
Persimmon.

That Armand Basi silk blouse I mentioned above as it was on sale, so I couldn’t resist the temptation.

Oh, I adore Carrie. I think she is gorgeous, has a great sense of style and is a very warm and kind person.

Tulip shaped chocolate brown dress that I bought last winter or in early spring.

Paris, of course!
What’s your favourite quote these days?

Who do you want to meet right now?
My mum and dad who live in Russia and my best friend, who is in the States.

Favourite designer at the moment?
As far as the summer 2009 is concerned I love Versace.
What do you consider a fashion faux pas?
Wearing clothes that don’t fit properly or are too small. Buying clothes because of the labels.
Do you admire anyone's style?
I like Inès de la Fressange, Tasha De Vasconcelos and Victoria Beckham.
Describe your personal style.
It’s very classic and feminine. I choose clothes that would last several seasons, well-cut and made with good quality fabrics and buy them because I LOVE them, not because something is in fashion or has a designer name on it. I can live with very few dresses, skirts, trousers, tops and coats, but I am a true collector when it comes to lingerie, scarves and shoes.
What are you going to do after this?
Sit in a garden with my laptop and have a cup of Lady Grey tea.
