March faves


1.Nars blush I love it so much.As beauty bloggers say,it's my "Holy Grail" apart from MAC's Studio Fix Fluid.I can clearly see why this particular product is one of NARS' bestsellers.
2.Granola,once again GRANOLA! I think you can easily substitute granola with muesli on a daily basis,it's practically the same thing.I think I could eat this all day long as a breakfast,dinner and supper.
3.Never ever could I imagine I'd fall for a scent such as Dior's Miss Cherie.Too sweet for me,although I have a sweet tooth in general,but when used in small amounts,it's actually quite nice.
4.If you haven't heard Weeknd's song,then GO and listen to them ASAP.Youtube is at your service.Lately,his sings were the only ones I've been listenng too on a daily basis.
5.GYM shoes.My previous pair,despite the fact they were a really nice pair of shoes,wasn't made for exercising.These ones are awesome.They make my run way more easier and longer. But I still have my eyes on Nike's ID ones.Just recently customized a pair at Nike's homepage.But in our stores they cost twice as much as on the official web-store and,yeah,as usual,they don't ship to Riga. BUMMER:/
6.ALMONDS.My love to almonds is eternal.Sometimes I find myself craving them way too much.I am so addicted.
7.There are some of us who hate broccoli,cabbages etc.,but I used to be the one who disliked avocados.But some sort of chemistry appeared between us and this month I discovered a new favorite food:D

BACKGROUND 
Pre-summer campaign for ladies (collaboration between H&M Everyday and New Development department).

Q&A Liu Wen

Describe your own personal style
Tomboy style w/comfort – easygoing style – occasionally sexier style depending on the occasion.

How has that style evolved since you became a model?
There has not been too much evolution in my personal style.  I grew up in a small town in China and had a difficult time buying women’s shoes.  I prefer to wear sneakers because they are more comfortable while traveling / working.  

When you’ve been wearing extreme outfits on the catwalk or at a shoot, what’s your favorite item of clothing to throw on and feel yourself again?
Pajamas at home – for this job you have to transform constantly and always be a different character – the extreme outfit is meAfter departing a show, I prefer to wear a leather jacket and t-shirt.

When you are away from home during the fashion shows, what are the three essential items you always have with you?
iPhone, vitamins and umbrella.

What’s it like to be photographed so much off the catwalk by street-style bloggers?
After the show I take off all of my makeup for a natural look – I feel that the street-style photographers are friends at this point (after my 10th season).

Do you think more about how you dress off the catwalk for the street-style bloggers?
Strategic placement of outfits – I like to wear designer’s clothing on the day of their show.

How has social media brought you closer to your fans?
It’s great because I can share my perspectives on various topics to a lot of people very quickly and vice versa.

What’s your favorite part of being a model?
Traveling – Favorite place – Greece (I’ve never been).
Favorite place that I’ve visited – Barcelona.

Who is your own supermodel icon?
Carmen Dell Orefice



Q&A Lindsey Wixson

Describe your own personal style
My personal style reflects how I'm feeling, where I am in the world, and where I'll be going next. I wear everything to jeans and a t-shirt to Zac Posen ball gowns.
How has that style evolved since you became a model? 
I have a more refined taste and I'm more inspired by things that surround me. 
When you’ve been wearing extreme outfits on the catwalk or at a shoot, what’s your favorite item of clothing to throw on and feel yourself again?
Cashmere sweater and pants.
When you are away from home during the fashion shows, what are the three essential items you always have with you? 
Face moisturizer, make-up remover and silver ointment.
What’s it like to be photographed so much off the catwalk by street-style bloggers?
I don't think about it too much.
Do you think more about how you dress off the catwalk for the street-style bloggers? 
I try to be extra creative with the colors and textures I wear during fashion week. It's not for street style though, I just like dressing sometimes.
How has social media brought you closer to your fans? 
It gives people a whole new experience with interacting with people that you normally wouldn't even talk to or even meet on a day to day basis. It's scary sometimes.
What’s your favorite part of being a model?
The obvious answer is traveling around the world on any given day whenever a client wants to bring you to a location shoot. I am so lucky to be able to travel as I do at my age!
Who is your own supermodel icon? 
Christy Turlington

Some awesomeness from London

Girls loove shopping,don't they? Well,I am no exception !
I know I haven't posted in a month..actually right now a bit of shame comes along with the realization of that fact :D I have no excuses to think of except of my laziness I suppose :/
I know it's like what,January,but I am all thinking about university,exams and that kind of jazz..the exam part is so frustrating already,ugh :S 



If you're buying Quality Street just bare in mind that you can become pretty addcted to them:/
My own favorites are the ones in blue and pink wrappers and I'm running out of them:( Lucky enough I brought one more pack of them which is pretty big:D
Some time ago I would never go and buy myself a warm hat...just wasn't a hat person even in Winter when it's freezing cold,but this year I've converted into a hat lover.The warmer,the better.With a pom-pom?Awesome,even better.So this warm knitted hat with a cute pom-pom was a nice,season-appropriate purchase.
Never was a huge fan of Topshop,but hands down they have the best sweaters ever!

Nothing screams winter to me more than cute festive socks!:D

Some of the souvenirs I brought home.Pencils,chocolates,key chains,X-mas tree toys...you name it:/



Noo,in case you wonder, it's not only the body lotion that was in the bag...:D

Mac is my all-time fave cosmetics! They sell the best foundations,eyeshadows and lip stuff,which I think I will show you in the next post.The Red Russian lipstick is gorgeous<3 p="">Nars' blush that you can see below is their all-time classic.Now I only need a bronzer and a sheer glow foundations..never thought I was a such make-up junkie.
