Photography - the world of imagination and reality

Fotografiska museum surprises with the amount of great exhibitions in spring! Talented photographers all over the world are presenting their masterpieces in one building. I had a chance to enjoy Helena Blomqvist, André Kertész and Marcus Bleasdale photos. I’m thankful that Stockholm is offering his citizens such an unbelievable experience!

Before seeing the exhibitions I had a delicious brunch with my work colleagues in Fotografiskas fine restaurant with a great view! Unfortunately my iPhone wasn’t in a mood today and all my photos, which I’ve been taking during the day, vanished. Here are some in a better quality ;)

Helena Blomqvist is taking us way back to the childhood, to the world of scary fairy tales (in an innocent way).

Marcus Bleasdale's documentary photography makes you think about the situation in Africa, what does it really means to struggle for living! After that all your problems seems to be miserable.

André Kertész is showing us France through his eyes. I've been in France for a couple of times and the specific french spirit with some charm and sexuality is soaring in his works.

Fotografiska made me want to get acquainted with the world of photography and in future i'll tell you about my investigations. 

Dazzling raindrops

BEAUTIFUL Necklace by H&M

It’s been a few rainy days in a raw, here in Stockholm. But I actually love the rain. It’s nice to sit home, cozy and warm and listen to the raindrops clattering on the windowsill in a company of few candles and a good old movie. What can be more relaxing and calming?!

When it’s rainy, we feel ourselves a little bit chilly and down. During the rainy days our clothes are dark, pretty rare person want to stand out from the crowd with a shouting color dress. Rainy dress code – something, what we are wearing to feel ourselves warm and cozy (at least I’m talking about myself, coz I do so).

Office (rainy day)

Anyway, today I cheered my rainy look with a nice necklace. I just love LOVE looooove my new necklace from H&M spring collection. It’s soooo me and it suits to many colors and styles. Accessories and small details  are usually the best part, because they can take your look to a completely new level.

Pimple thoughts

I hope sometimes life to be a fairytale, but unfortunately my naive rose glasses got broken a long time ago. Times of brave knights and fragile princesses are over. And that we can notice in many things. Women’s role has changed. A nowadays successful woman is supposed to do everything: be smart and beautiful, raise kids in a good way, take care of the husband and have a successful career. I think, that by taking so many responsibilities of those superwomen are in danger to end up running like a hamsters in a wheel or start to remind a horse, who drags everything on her back. In that case, stress becomes her best friend.

Constant stress adversely affects on women’s most crucial weapon – beauty. Beauty comes from inside, so crawls also stress in form of spots, pale complexion, scaly skin and itchy bumps. There was even created a completely new field psychodermatology, which focuses on the complexities of the mind-skin connection. Beauty will save the world! BUT who is going to save beauty from stress?

What should we women do? How to stay beautiful and healthy, and at the same time handle everything? I mean, is it even possible!?! YES, IT IS! The answer is simple – choose the right men for your needs. If you are a career women, choose the man who like to take care of the kinds or the other way round. Anyway, you got me. I think that it's a man's duty to take care of the woman and help her with other routines. At least i want to be optimistic and believe that there are still some knights left! One leftover for me, please :) That's my opinion, but i guess many women will agree with me! Well, I got a question for men! Do you want to see next to you an adorable and healthy woman or a horse? I hope it's the first option. In that case LESS TALKING, MORE ACTION! 

Paintball experience

Yesterday it was try-something-new day. I went to play paintball with my colleagues for the first time. Girls, if you wanna play this game, just go and play, don’t be afraid of the pain and possible small bruises! In the matter of fact the bullets (paintballs) didn’t hurt as much as I thought. And I didn’t get any bruises, even though one of the paintballs hit me directly in my chin, oops J The game is REALLY excited, fun and strategic! Can’t wait to go and play it again!

Todays beauty dose within the framework of art

The neon mood

According to the calendar it’s supposed to be blossoming spring outside, but in Stockholm we can only wish weather to be better. Sun hasn’t been shining for a while and I think that I was too optimistic, when I stopped taking my D-vitamins month ago. Bright tops and accessories are helping me to get the spring feeling and stay positive. Neon top is must have this spring and it’s worth investing, because in summer it will look even more great on your tanned body. In outstanding outfit you stay fresh and smiley even when it’s gray and rainy outside. Bright neon tops, which are really popular in this season, mixed with more neutral clothes can cheer up your working day. Don’t be afraid to use bright colors at work, smartly combined with another clothes they wouldn’t look aggressive; instead they’ll give you energy and drive. My choice for today is a neon pink loose top (H&M), beige shirt with lace (Mango), black tight pants (Zara) and black shoes. Pink blush and expressive eyes are finishing the look. (picture will come soon:)) )

nothing much, just testing :)

Sunday went productively. I got a great morning kick, sleeping until 11 am feels great, especially when it's raining outside. For breakfast as usually oatmeal with strawberries and raspberries. And also «for a dessert» white bread with Nutella and a cup of tasty coffee, mmm. I tried today a new les mills pass Body Jam - an energetic and sweaty dancing class. Warmly recommending it.  Directly after that calming Bodybalance. Loved the outfit of one girl with a green shirt under and a pink on and plastic green eyerings. Looked fresh and cool!
