Merry Christmas!

Let's forget about diets, about the fact that we should act like we are different than we are. It is Christmas, we can be jolly, festive, natural and full up.

Let's sing even though we can't, let's pretend we are still children.

Don't argue with your family, be patient because everyone want the best for one another and because Christmas is fun!

I hope you all are having fantastic time during Christmas!

I love Santa! Christmas, winter and second hand shops.

This year I am in Christmas spirit more than normally! I am not sure why, but there is nothing to complain about it.

So I went for a small photo shoot as it was nice and sunny (it is 21st December and I'm asking where snow is?).

Although the weather is rather in autumn style I've decided to go crazy with my Christmas' obsession.

The best way to show how excited I am for that holiday is to wear a typical festive sweater!

A white collared blouse is adding some classical touch to that look for me.

And then, you can never make mistake by wearing some black tights and leather boots, can't you?

I like festive clothes since every single piece of it is a little bit cheesy, but it is fine, because it is Christmas time : )

Although it isn't snowing I could still feel how chilly was today. So I put my oversize coat on. I am proud of the fact that I found it in the second hand shop today and buying it was a bargain. Sometimes I like to go to that kind of shops. Searching for nice and unique clothes there is way more difficult than going to some high street brand, and after you caught something pretty you feel big satisfaction! You can not imagine how fantastic clothes you can buy there. But firstly you need time, then you need to be patient and creative. You can be good looking if you following the newspapers trends, of course I am not saying that you cannot. But isn't it better to put a little bit of yourself in those pieces you wear?

Traveling

Traveling is one of my biggest hobby. I visit many places around the Europe and also in my country whenever it is possible.
I am very grateful to my parents for creating such a passion in me. Annually since I was 8 we've been going for summer holidays in different places abroad.
During summer breaks we've visited Croatia multiple times, we were in Greece, Turkey, Italy and France, Montenegro and Bulgaria.
When I've got older we started to travel during the school year for shorter trips.
So we saw Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin (it is one of my favorites places to be!) and Prague.
I must say, seeing so many places with a variety of people, customs, ways of living and of course languages absolutely made me who I am now.
Thanks to travelling opportunity I experienced thinks I never would if I stayed at home.

When I came to High School I've participated in an European project which took place in Romania. I've never thought about going there as I had no idea how beautiful, various and unique in that country.
Then, again thanks to my school, my wish came true. I went to London. Then I realized that dreams are for a reason and you can always make them happen if you are patient and determined enough!
Next year I've decided to go for another school trip. We were exploring Swiss, Lichtenstein, France, Spain and Monaco.
I have to say. That trip was extremely tiring. Sitting in a bus for many, many and again many hours is not for everybody. But it is certainly for my as I have no boundaries when it is about seeing the world.

This autumn I've visited Cardiff (I showed a few photos in my previous post) and Wroclaw (finally!).
In June I am going to see Paris and Disneyland, again one of my biggest dreams since I could remember.

It is very important to me, to make sure that nobody thinks I want to boast myself. I do not want that at all.
I've never wanted. My purpose is to tell everybody how beautiful our world is.
I am aware of the fact that I am extremely lucky, that I started traveling with big help of my parents. So please don't judge me bad : )

What I want to say is that you do not need loads of money to visit different places. First think about traveling cheaply is to be prepared for all inconveniences that may occur to you.
Second aspect is planning you trip properly, get to know some place before you arrive there. Planning also includes searching for cheap accommodation. It takes time, be prepared for that!

When you feel you are ready, start travelling! World is waiting for us. So many places are undiscovered yet, that you must stand up now and go somewhere. If you are scared of planes, then visit some cities close to you. I am sure that you don't know the map of your capital city by heart, you haven't visited all interesting places in big cities in you country. Do it, believe me, you will fall in love with people, places and memories.

Simple, classy fashion & Zoella

In my opinion, keeping your outfits classy is the best way to be spotted. Nowadays, when in shops we can buy so many strange and colorful clothes, it is very challenging to find something eye catching but still simple.

I really admire people who can do this as I find it quite difficult not to yield to temptation of so many original and unusual clothes (of course I will wear it someday, it is so unique!).

Zoe from zoella.co.uk and also youtube.com/zoella280390 is certainly my favorite one when it comes to simple fashion.

I love her striped and loose dresses and longer T-shirts, disco pants, all shades of grey (:DD) she likes to wear, and of course her significant collar shirts. 

I am positive that everyone like to go crazy with outfits. In that case it is also pretty easy to make a bit of mess.

 So people, let's keep calm and choose one crazy piece of wardrobe. Other ones not always match, believe me :)

I really do not like when girls go to the city center looking like an Easter egg or some model during an haute couture fashion show.

Don't you think it is very challenging to keep classy and simple outfits? I strongly believe so, that is why I really like Zoe's style.

It is worth to mention that her hair and make-up are also really neat and pretty. No matter if it's about every day ones or more night ones.

Girls! If you do not feel comfortable with wearing make-up then don't. But I believe you all are beautiful unless you neglect  yourself, and that is bad.

Take advantage from dozens of youtube gurus who make videos to help you!

If you want to wear nice makeup but you can't do it, try watching some tutorials!

Brush your hair, braid it or pin it, find some classy clothes, when you don't believe in your own style, it always works!

Not all clothes must be expensive, you can find something on sales or in your mum's wardrobe!

Be beautiful, be well dressed have nice haircut, smell nice, feel pretty and confident.

I am learning myself how to feel good in my own skins, try do it also.

Say YES to yourself, believe me it is worth it.

Thanks Zoella, you helped me a lot!

Feel like Winter ❅❅❅

Hello my friends!
Despite the fact that after recent hurricane we don't have even a little bit of snow I feel very wintery today!
I even overcame my laziness and scanned those two drafts that I drew some time ago.
Sweater weather is for me still actual weather, even without snow. Actually I love wearing sweaters in every kind of weather : )
Unfortunately it is too early to count days until my winter break in February, but I am so excited to go to the mountains and snowboarding!

I drew them by myself, I haven't copy, so please do not do it also unless you sign them by my name!

Gok Wan as one of my biggest inspiration!

In the morning, while I was watching TV, I saw reportage about a lady who went on diet and lost 60kg.
At first I was impressed, but then they show some photos of her 'before diet life'.
I thought that it's always easy to say 'you should go on a diet', but it is really hard to show them, that (of course, they should lose some weight) it is normal to be the way they are!

The perfect person who does it is Gok Wan. With all his sensitivity and patience he tries to show to women, they are not alone.
He shows, that when you care about yourself, you feel way better. He proves, that no matter which type of figure you have, you can look good and feel attractive!
I really admire him and all of his work. It is absolutely fantastic and I wish I could do something like him in a future as I find it very fulfilling.

To those who don't know what he is and what he is doing. So basically Gok's a fashion expert who leads a bunch of TV programs in UK.
He made his mark by giving women the confidence to appreciate their bodies, whatever their size and encouraged women whatever their shape and size to strip for the nation!

Changes he makes are in my opinion the best changes anybody could ever make. With his help, not only those women gain new style, new hair cut and become famous for a few minutes, but also (and that is the most important think) he proves them, they actually are beautiful, even if they're not in a model shape.
As it is absolutely the most important think to be attractive.
Firstly, believe in yourself, then take care about yourself and in a following steps, get to know how to style you hair and clothes appropriate to your body and face shape.
And voilà!
That is short recipe for being body confident!

P.S.1
Of course, don't get me wrong, I still believe that if someone is overweight and that could cause some health problems he or she should go on a diet, under the supervision of specialist

P.S.2
I strongly recommend checking out Gok's website and some of his TV programs!
Here is a link to his official website.

Writing Personal Statement and bad flu.

Aloha!
I am writing to you form my warm bed where I have to stay for an entire week!
I feel a little bit angry as I am supposed to be on the party on Friday and Sunday and also on Friday I have quite important dance performance. But flu doesn't seem to care about that.
However, spending whole day in bed lets me to finally write my Personal Statement.
From time to time I think that all I could do is sitting in front of a computer.
As I catch a flu it is obvious that I feel like I could create some new language or invent cure for AIDS.
It is always easier said than done, but I really need to focus on my point and write that damn thing! :)

In the meantime (procrastination, I love you) I've found that cute picture.

Trip to Cardiff!

As I told you before I was in Cardiff for my Opening Day at the university. Here you can see some of my favorite ones. 

In addition I have to confess that it is time of the year when I have a slight obsession with folk music, mountains, traveling, forest and snow :)

So I strongly recommend you check that out timberfolk.tumblr.com! 

"I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner!"

Hello my friends! I found that magazine scan on tumblr today and I thought that it should be putted in here. 

Let's face it, I am a massive fan of Jennifer Lawrence. I love the Hunger Games book series and I believe they are my favorite one at the moment. When I saw the film on the bases of the first book I feel in love with Jennifer's acting. Then I've read some interviews I watched Academy Awards and I didn't stop loving her :)

I really appreciate her bravery in words. 

What is more I find that picture  pretty awesome! And the quotation is just pure Lawrence's character.

 

 The costume she's wearing is very unique, isn't it? I enjoy looking at her figure also! 

Clothes not always related to weather conditions!

So recently I visited Cardiff. It was really important trip as I attended to an Open Day at University of South Wales.
That was my second time I have visited Britain. And for the second time I have noticed something quite interesting to me.
In Wales climate is rather mild, but when we've arrived it was freezing.
Fortunately I was prepared for that. But I was the only one.
On the first day I spotted many people wearing shorts and sandals, walking on the streets without even light jacket on!
Maybe there is something wrong with me, but it is not very usual view.
When I was in Spain everyone were wearing thick sweaters even though it was about 20 degrees. So, I connected that memory with the climate differences and facing Welsh people clothing was funny experience.
What do you guys think about that? Is it normal to wear shorts in wintertime? :)

                         

In the picture, you can see a woman wearing sandals on the 22nd November. Before I took that photo I've seen some white frost on the roofs, so believe me, it was cold!
