The Verve

Thursday, April 23, 2009

I'm doing research for a Russian Presentation: Talk about one aspect of Russian Culture that is interesting to you.

I chose Spring Fashion week in Moscow and I'm finding some really cool stuff from Russian designers!

Mixture of Oleg Biryukov and Tatyana Perfenova.

I am absolutely loving Perfenova's dress and boot combinations, which you can see more of at her website linked above.

The Fur Jacket is from Julia Dalakian, so gorgeous. Although, maybe it's fake? but probably not!

Denim flounce

Girl on campus - by pallaschristina on Polyvore.com

I saw a girl on campus wearing an outfit similar to this one and I thought she looked so cute. The denim skirt was definitely ruffled and kind of frayed at the hem, It was really original. Times like these I wish I had a camera with me like the Sartorialist!

So It's officially spring, so why was it absolutely disgusting in Williamsburg earlier today? I managed to take a stroll down to CW (Colonial Williamsburg to those of you who haven't mastered the Williamsburg abbreviations yet) to buy a birthday gift for my good friend Wayne and read some of "The Master and Margarita" for my Russian Literature class while sipping on Hot Chocolate at Aroma's. It was very good times :)

Spring is here

It seems to me that Spring has officially arrived and there is no better way to celebrate than heading to the beach! Surf, sand, sunshine...

Okay let's be serious. It's the middle of March in Virginia. It was freezing cold and windy. My friends several weeks ago decided to start training to run the Yeungling Shamrock 8k so I went to be supportive (my lack of athleticism is well known) and had a great time. There was so much excitement and a lot of people and overall the weather was great, I'll defintiely post some pictures later on.

But when the mind wanders away during class, and the eye catches on every blooming tree- especially that vibrant purple one blooming next to the stair leading up to Swem and Millington from Landrum Drive...- one can't help but sigh and think of spring and the nearing summer months. To me, nothing says "Spring" to me like delicate tea cups, flowing dresses, and laid back accessories.

Here's a taste!
