An Education

Skirt and T-shirt : H&M / Blazer : Michael Kors / Flats : Kira Plastinina / Clutch : ALDO

Its been a very hard month since I started studying at university.September was pretty much easy as it was the first month but October is getting harder and harder.We already had our first exams or how they call it module week.Studying is not easy but its worth it.I think its a problem that nowadays a lot of people dont want to get education,they think that school is enough.Its not only about learinig for your future job but for yourself.I think its important to be self educated and read a lot of books and learn new information.And believe me,that information will help you some day.You may think that you dont need to know the reign of the Elizabeth I or the causes of the Second World War but you will need it some day,you will need it for yourself.For example if you will talk to interesting educated person and he will ask you opinion on  "The Birth of Venus" painting and you coudnt even remember the name of the painter.That would be an awkward moment for you.You will regret that havent learned anything in your life.

As for me,Im now studying at International Relationships and its a very interesting speciality.We are learning different languages,a lot of histiory of Russia and other countries,we also have politic lessons and its just the begining.I hope that I can became a diplomatist and make our world better,solve serious problems,stop wars and just help people which is very important for me,because I always think that we should help each other and so our life's going to be better.

If I was an Art School student,I would definitely wear something like this for studying."The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli is one my favorite works of art. Recently,I had a very strange feeling that I wanted to draw and paint so much when Im actually a very bad painter.But anyways I started to paint and it makes me feel happy.Maybe later I will improve my skills and every time my paintings will be better and better.When I was like five years old I used to go to some paint classes but then I just forgot how to draw and couldnt do anything and now Im starting it again.And on my first painting is of course a cactus,because Im just loving them.Plus Venus is now associating with Lady Gaga song "Venus" that Im loving so so much.I just love everything about Venus!

Daily Basis

                   Backpack : Chicnova / T-shirt,skirt,necklace and sandals all from H&M /

After I lived in Prague, I became addicted to backpacks.Before rucksacks associated to me with children from primary school.Because in Russia all the children are wearing them from first to fifth grade and then starting to wear any other bag and backpacks are taken as childrens stuff.But in Czech Republic almost every person of any age wears them.At first it was really strange to see an elegant man in a costume,looking like he was working in bank or maybe in  office,wearing a backpack over his classic suit.For Czech people is very imprtant to wear comfortable clothes,they usually wearing some comfy sneakers,jeans,t-shirt and of course a rucksack.So after living there for some time I started to wear them more and more often.

I prefer to wear them on daily basis,because they first of all are comfortable and you dont have to carry it on your hand and second of all you can put everything you need(and maybe not,because I usually put a lot of stuff that I dont even use)in it.Actually backpacks and over shoulder bags are my favorites and I usually only wear them.For summer I found this denim rucksack with banans that I really love and I can match it with a lot of my outfits.So,this is my main must have for summer,especially if you are going to the beach or any festival you can carry all of the essentials in one bag.

Okay,now can we just talk about these sandals.I wanted them so bad for a long time but now it was almost half of the summer and even more and I thought that now I dont need them only for month and maybe next year I woudnt wear them at all,so I was like "okay,I dont need them".But them shopping center happened and I went to H&M for some things that I needed and I saw only one pair of this sandals in my size on sale for a really low price and I was like "OMG you are my destiny ".I also got this skirt and t-shirt and also a necklace and I really like how they look together and now its my casual go to outfit for summer.

Hat Obsession

                        Playsuit : Diesel / Bag : Fred Perry / Hat,necklace and rings : H&M /

Every girl has one or two things that she loves the most.Some of them love shoes,some of them love bags.My obsessions are hats and denim jackets.As it too hot for jackets now I still can wear my hats.They are just completely changing the looks.I love all kinds of hats : from fedora and cloche to beret and boater.They can match any style you have,for example you can wear a pair of skinny jeans,a striped shirt,some flats and a fedora hat and you are a gorgeous parisian woman or you can wear a maxi dress,wooden heels,floopy hat and round sunglasses and you are a haapy hippie.

My first hat was black fedora and I still wear it,because it maches any outfit perfectly and making them more chic.Black,brown and camel are my favorite colours for hats,you can match them with almost anything.Of course I have hats in some wild colours but they are not for daily basis.

This is just a first introduction post about hats and there will be more on my blog with a history of hats and all kinds of them.

Meet the French Cactus

Today is a very exciting day for me,because I'm finally starting my blog.I was working on it for some weeks and I'm happy to introduce it to you now.So how did it all started? I was blogging since 2011 but recently I realized that I changed a lot and my blog didn't match me anymore and that I want to start from scratch.So here I am with a brand new blog.

What is the meaning of  French Cactus?I think these two words can describe me,my style and my character perfectly.I can be an elegant french lady,wearing midi skirts and pearls,while being a "cactus",wearing ripped jeans and leather jacket.

My blog is going to be not only about fashion,but also about travelling,art&culture,and things that matter to me.My goal is to inspire you with my articles and photographs,to give you some advice on how to style and wear clothes,what places to visit and things to see and I hope that I can bring some positivity in your life :)
