Shine !

"Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. "
John Lennon
This story is about that amount of gold GOLD that lives in every human being...that gold that makes you shine , sparkle and glow in the darkness.
Actually ... the average person's body weighing 70 kilograms would contain a total mass of 0.2 milligrams of gold but ...the truth is that sometimes you hunger for a bigger dose and you put on all the golden stuff you find in your wardrobe
As you can see this time i had a GOLDEN CRISIS ...meanwhile Raluca the adorable tutliputli girl was painting her day in white DOTS.
Everything happened while we were flying above Bucharest on our rusty crane.

Your time is coming don't be late,
So come on
See the light on your face
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine.

A russian story.

When i was born ... in 1991, in the Republic Of Moldova there was still a lot of Soviet influence in the social, cultural and political life. So they wrote my name in my birth certificate Atanasova Gabriela Danielovna ...lately i had to change it to " Atanasov", because this was my actual name...also they used the Kirilic alphabet not the Latin one.
Even if i always had a problem with the russian political influence in my country now i understand how lucky i am to know more about the russian culture, to speak their language, to sing their songs...etc.
So ...somehow there is a Russian story...that lives in me and i had to create a special outfit so show this to you...the key of this look is of course my grandma's authentic Russian scarf(русский платок)- which is 100% wool.
This outfit is inspired by the 70's soviet movies, i created a russian look by mixing a Sweet Paprika grey leather pencil skirt with floral prints,Katerinimou flower necklace, fur, a red pullover and of course BLACK RUSSIAN TEA for a cold russian winter day.
