Aleksandre Vasiliev's Art Noveau Fashion

Today I was invited to the opening of Art Noveau Fashion exhibition in Riga.

To be honest, I was shocked how beautiful the dresses are and what a great job has been done by The Master Alexandre Vasiliev and his team: applause!!!!  You can see the dresses of the Art Nouveau epoque in different colours, for different purposes oh and the accessorizes - beautiful ladies hats, fans,make up boxes etc.  I am very happy I had a chance to see all of this live, to meet Aleksandre and I even said Thank You and Hello to him. He looks - FABOLOUS as always. I am extremely pleased and delighted that I have people around me who are interested in history and art and who share this passion and interest with me. Oh, there were also people who asked me to pose for 2 magazines in Latvia ;))) So, maybe we will see the result of it in the pages of printed media soon ;)

Some pics here:

 I really had to go away and live in another country for 4 years, in order to come back and take a cheesy picture with this globus)))

 

Teatime

 

Motherland

So, when you get back to the world where you basically did grow up, you start feeling a bit weird (those who live abroad for many years and do go to their mothercountry to visit parents and friends will understand me)... all of those who were your friends are still friends, but some of them are very distanced ones, but I don't thing it is bad or so, it is just very different now. I had a meetings with some of my old dudettes here recently and I love the time what we had together ages ago, but now... maybe I had so many changes in life, that I look at the world with completely different eyes. I am not upset, I just have to accept this - we all change and improve, develop or stay on the same stage of the development for many years...

Anyways, yesterday, me and my very old friend Ula got together, had to go to the opening of one lounge club on the beach, but due to the bad weather it was canceled, so we went to the cinema, had nice food in the restaurant and went to vinoteka Fiesta (Gertrudes 19-21) to see our friend Voron, who is the owner there))) Had some nice Rieslings over there, nice chat with Ula, discussed who is doing what, why, where etc.

Oh, we also had a celebration of Dad's b-day for the 5th time yesterday, some friends of my parents came around and we had a feast:))))

Day off today - wanna do nothing as I really need to recharge my batteries!!!

have a great Sunday everyone!!!


                                     I love the restaurant prices in Riga after St.Moritz!!!!!

 

Ula is supercool!

Elina

FRIIIDDAAAYYYY

We had an amazing BDay party yesterday - my dad's anniversary:))) комплименты от коллег и его друзей осыпали меня) Плюс, многие сказали, что я с акцентом говорю на русском)

Tomorrow will go to the summerhouse to celebrate all this with relatives))) На ДАЧУ!!!!

Всем отличной пятницы! Вечером едем в гости на пироги, а совсем вечером собираемся со всеми на очередную пьянку, я правда на антибиотиках с этой простудой, но пофигу - соки тоже можно пить и веселиться!!!
Темка заезжал на новой машине сегодня) Вчера посылка из Лондона пришла, а таааааамммммм - куча шмоточек, браслетиков, новый клатч) Ну да, я все покупаю во сновоном онлайн в Лондоне)))

From me with love: have a great weekend dudes and dudettes!!!

Sashkin BD

Hey dudes and dudettes:)))))

How r u today???
I do not have time to blog at all here, too many parties, people to meet, family and relatives, plus all my projects that I have to take care of... But I am not complaining, I really am happy to do all of this, just this bloody cold is very annoying!!!

SO!!! We had great night with my best friend Sasha. I have couple of my best girlfriends and I am absolutely blessed to have them in my life))) ... So- we had great Friday night in Fiesta - that's Wine Bar in Riga, my friend Voron ( Aleksey Vorontsov) is the owner of this great venue where you can get delicious vintage wine and have nice music in great atmosphere, check them out on Gertrudes 23 in Riga.
Sasha poped in to my parents place first of all, my dad baked a cake specially for her and mum was around so we started to celebrate it here, she was happy to receive some presents from Switzerland and she adored the Iceberg scarf that I bought for her in UK some time ago. Then we went to town, met with Sasha's friend Julia - she is nuts and very beautiful young lady, who apparently has 17 year old son!!!! So we went to ahve some dinner in the small restaurant in old city, then we finally got to Fiesta, where champagne and Dima, Sasha's bf was waiting for us with Voron and the rest of the guys. Then Ula has joined us - Iknow Ula and Sashka since 1999 and we were the best friends for a long time, but seriously I didn't see Ulyana for like 3 years, so we had great catch up all together:)

Oh, and I did receive a lot of compliments on my body ( skiing!!!!!!!!!) and on my outfit:)- I had great skirt, my new favourite piece of clothing what I will wear this summer.
Here are the pictures, WIll give you the updates from Sat and Sun later on, have to work now!

Cheers!!!

Рига/ Riga City

So, today was my first proper day in Riga. I mean, I finally went out to the streets of my youth, went to visit my mum in her office, went to my hairdresser, did some shopping, just returned from the lunch with my GREAT twinbrother, had some work done in the morning...
People here are very... how to say... Sometimes I do feel like spoiled baby girl, as I left country long time ago, live in completely different society, different lifestyle, economic situation etc. and when you come back home - it is hitting you like crazy: welcome back to the local reality!!!!! My twinbro always says: you have to get used to it! People were always fighting here for something, do not compare all this to Switzerland... Anyways, just weird feeling inside me, BUT - people on the streets are much more fashionable than before ( well done!!!) and I love it!
I haven't seen alot for the half day today. but everything what I have seen - I kinda loved it:)))

Oh, we went to rolleskate yesterday with bro and his mates:)


My twinbro - 3 mins difference we have:)
