IT'S HOLIDAY TIME

This year I am taking my South African born husband back to my routs, ie the town called Odessa situated on the Black Sea in Ukraine, previously known as one of the 15 republic of USSR and now is an independent country.  The reason for this trip was an invite to a 50th birthday bash from one of the close friends of my youth, who like me left our beloved city but while I chose to live in Australia, she and her family settled in New York.  It was such a great opportunity to reunite with all my friends whom I have not seen for over 25 years and who now live in USA, Canada, Germany, Israel etc that we didn't take time to hesitate before we said "yes".

We are making a slight detour and first visiting St Petersburg and Moscow and after staying in Odessa for a week, will gravel to Tbilisi, capital of Georgia, another one of the former republics of the USSR famous for its food, wine and Caucasus mountains followed by a quick trip to Istanbul and then all the way back home to OZ (see the map).

So if everything goes according to plan, we will be back later in July.  I will try to keep you posted, so please follow me on Instagram and Facebook.

Love to you all

Until then,
Anna

EVERYTHING GOES IN THE WORLD OF FASHION

I would like to open this post by making a disclosure:  this post is purely editorial, I have not worn this outfit anywhere except for this photoshoot and frankly speaking I can't envisage an event where I would be wearing it in the near future.

I just wanted to bend a few rules and canons of fashion, throw a lot of different elements into the mix and see what would come of it.  As a result I am wearing a casual over-sized slouchy top adorned by an over-sized necklace of big sparkling stones which I bought in Sorrento Italy with a pair of torn cropped jeans and underneath those jeans there are fishnet stockings.  The final touch is the high heel two-tone evening shoes made by none other than Manolo Blahnik.

I can't say that I don't like the look.  On the contrary, I think it has attitude that shows that everything goes in the world of fashion and all the rules and boundaries have been smudged and ignored which appeals to me a lot.  Whether I succeeded to convey it to you, my dear friends, I let you be the judge.

I don't offer wear this necklace, the last time I fashioned it for you here was quite a lot time ago so I thought it's time to get out again.

I am wearing:
Jeans - Zara
Top - Sportsgirl
Shoes - Manolo Blahnik
Glasses - Valley

Love
Anna
