Hey you!

Long time no see. Today I am here to share my experience with Jord wooden watch and ... wait for it... I prepared a surprose GIVEAWAY for you in the end of this post! 

So few years ago I used to be a real watch person. Not crazy one but I owned about 5-7 of them. And suddenly I stop wearing watch. Why? I don't have any particular explanation, but I guess I couldn't find the right one. Everything in the stores is pretty much the same, and as you might have notices I like to somewhat stand out. For me, watch is not only a way to know time (let's face digital era), but also a great addition to an entire look. 

​So when I found out about JORD, I was pretty excited to choose form a big variety of both women's and men's watches. The fact that they are offering a printable measuring tape to measure your wrist is such a life saver, cause before I had no idea what is my wrist size. So now my Frankie watch is tailored perfectly for my wrist! And also keep in mind that you can customize watch with engraving  what makes it a truly outstanding gift. 
​
​My watch arrived super fast in a beautiful wooden box which smells amazing. It reminds me of a cozy cabin in the woods. Initially I was planning to store my watch outside of the box, but it is just so perfect that I am actually using it. Also you can store something small like a pair of earrings in the hidden compartment within the box. 

Another thing to mention, that watch arrives with a special pen which takes care of wood making sure that your watch will serve for a long time. 

How would I wear my Frankie watch? I understand that since it is not you regular metal watch, you might be wondering which outfit and jewelry will be appropriate. 

Well, as for me, I wear it both with feminine floral looks such as bright print skirts and dresses and jeans & sneakers kind of looks. Due to the fact that my watch is golden champagne, I personally won't pair it with silver or white gold accessories. Other than that I wear with everything I would normally wear.

NOW... As I mentioned you can participate in GIVEAWAY and get a chance to win $100 gift coupon to get YOUR Jord watch! 

+ Everyone who enters, gets a little treat of 10% discount.

Makeup for Summer: Affordable Glowing Makeup for Summer Nights

Ready in 5: summer makeup

Ready in 5: summer makeup by olesyabond featuring NYX
 Summer calls for glow and sunset colors but how to achieve all that without overburdening your face with tons of layers? Here is HOW.
1. Prepare your face with a favorite moisturizer. I recently love Lumene Valo due to SPF 15 protection and tiny amount of shimmer which gives your skin just the right amount of 'glow within' look.However, always go with your complexion and individual preferences.
2. Apply CC cream. My personal favorites this summer are Lumene Time Freeze CC Cream and Physicians Formula Organic Wear CC Cream. They are affordable and do a great job. The thing about CC creams is that they are lightweight, moisturizing and giving you additional healthy glow. And remember that you can always build coverage. Just choose your perfect tone and play with it. Also do not forget that CC Creams have UV protection within them like these two favorites of mine which is a pleasant bonus. 
3. Conceal. You can miss this step if you are not a big fan of correction but I recommend to get rid of everything your CC cream couldn't deal with by itself. Apply concealer locally and only a tiny amount where it is really necessary. We are going for a natural look, not for a face mask. Currently I am loving NYX HD Concealer which is light/medium coverage but easily blendable. Usually I blend it with my fingertips and formula melts on my skin.
4. Use bronzer. As soon as you are going with warm golden tones, remember that you need extra shades on your face. Apply a little bit on your cheek bones to emphasize your natural face shape. I love Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Correcting Trio as well as Rimmel Bronzer. 
5. Apply fresh rosy blush. Many girls apply brownish shades in summer. Unless you have a really tan skin, brown toned blush will make you look too sharp or even couple years older. That is why I prefer natural pinky shades as if you just came back from the sitting under the sun. My current ones are Maybelline Cream Blush, Wet and Wild Higlighter & Blush Palette and all time classics Bourjous Blush.
6. Choose warm sunset colors for your eye makeup. I usually apply peach base and put warm brown in crease blending with burgundy or orange tones depending on my mood. Perfect palettes for these are of course, Morphe Brushes 35O or for example, cheaper palette like Morphe Brushes 25B or even  cheaper dupe of 25B from Allwon (try to look it up on Amazon). 
7. Fill in your brows. Don't paint them like you are creating an oil painting just fill them in with a powder of gel. My go to is Benefit Gimme Brow. Gives you a great volume and fills in the spaces.
8. Don't forget about waterline. You can go with white eye pencil but for a softer look I prefer pearly pinkish white pencils like NYX Wonder Pencil. 
9. Apply your favorite mascara. Volume, length or both - you choose.
10. Apply nude lipstick. I prefer matte liquid ones because they are tent to survive longer under the heat and humid like NYX Lingerie or Sephora Collection liquid creams. 
11.Use highlighter. I am in love with shimmers and highlighters. My current obsession is NYX Away We Glow which has a perfect rose gold shade which reminds me of NARS Orgasm a lot. 
12. Set. This step is totally optional but I recommend to do it especially if you are going out and want to prolong your makeup. I use Evian Thermal Water Spray. It is natural (I mean how much more organic can you be) and also it is slightly mattifying which an excellent perk for summer oily skin.

What to Wear This Summer: Affordable celebrity style inspired looks

8/2/2017

Comments

 
Have you ever wondered why celebrities outfits always look so well put together? OK, not always. We still can't forget those weird pair of jeans Selena was wearing for the Vogue Magazine interview. 
You would think that the key is in luxury garments or personal stylists... Well, I have created these affordable looks for you to prove you wrong and also to give you some inspiration for your next outfits. 
Simplicity/ Inspired by Miranda Kerr

Simplicity/ Inspired by Miranda Kerr by olesyabond featuring pencil skirts

Miranda Kerr has a great Victoria's Secret body and even most boring T-shirt looks great on her. Yes and no. Sometimes the most basic things can play on your side or by drawing attention to your beauty (and not beauty of your clothes), or by outlining your outstanding chic taste. We all have those basic T-shirts, the ones we got at BOGO sale but we are rarely combining them with elegant classic pencil skirt and lace up sandals. Smart move, Miranda, smart move.
Sunshine Denim / Inspired by Blake Lively

Sunshine Denim / Inspired by Blake Lively by olesyabond featuring white shoes

Did you order some sunshine? Pregnant Blake Lively definitely knows how to bring one. I found this incredibly bright maxi dress at Boohoo only for $36. For more 'too cool for school' look pair it with denim jacket like this one from Zaful for $33. And an elegant touch of nude pumps from Dorothy Perking for $50. Anti-boredom cocktail is ready. 
Mom's Denim/ Inspired by Selena Gomez

Mom's Denim/ Inspired by Selena Gomez by olesyabond featuring a white crop top
Speaking of unusual jeans... I guess Selena is going for the record. You can get the nice pair of mom's jeans at Mango for $32 or you can literally ask your mom for her old pair, up to you. Show that hardworking abs of yours in a white short top from Theory Bari ($50). For all-denim outfit choose a long denim coat with cool print on the back. This one from Yoins is available for $32. And final detail is feminine chic high-heel sandals. 
Stripe Glam/ Inspired by Lily Collins

Stripe Glam/ Inspired by Lily Collins by olesyabond featuring a high-waist skirt
Lily Collins is modern Audrey Hepburn. Especially in this gorgeous sleek outfit at Cannes Festival. Go with striped off shoulder crop top like this one from Topshop ($49). As per the bottom, choose a traditional light ivory maxi skirt with a drop of sparkle from River Island ($50). And... we are back again to traditional nude pumps from Dorothy Perking. They are just classics. 
Cool Like Rita/ Inspired by Rita Ora

Cool Like Rita/ Inspired by Rita Ora by olesyabond featuring high-rise leggings
Off shoulder shirts are really hitting it off. That is why for your next not-so-boring office look I chose Rita's outfit. Chicwish shirt for $40 paired with high-waisted pants from River Island ($56) and iconic vintage heels from Etsy for $59. Open shoulders catch attention to you face so make sure to frame it with beautiful long earrings like the ones from Nordstrom for $13. Black and White is always up to the point.
Tender White/ Inspired by Rosie H-W and Lily A

Tender White/ Inspired by Rosie H-W and Lily A by olesyabond featuring wide width pumps
Are you in a mood for being a Greek goddess? Whimsical photo-shoot of these two lovely ladies - Rosie and Lily - inspired this  'lace on cream' outfit. Midi floral dress worth the title of 'Princess Dress' from Sans Souci in combo with the close print high heels from FSJ accessorized  by authentic earrings is a quintessence of femininity.  
COLOR & GOLD/ INSPIRED BY ALEXA CHUNG

COLOR & GOLD/ INSPIRED BY ALEXA CHUNG by olesyabond featuring flat heel shoes
And to finish my celebrity post I decided with my favorite IT girl, Alexa Chung. Her looks are always look straight from Vogue pages. Another trend of this summer - gold pleaded skirt accompanied by bright top is brave but stylish decision. In order not to be 'too much' choose black elegant shoes (both flats or heels). Going to party right after work? Problem is solved.

Feeling excited about friend's wedding? I am sure you do. Up until the point when you realize that you have nothing to wear to it. All dresses are old, bills are creaming 'due to pay' and you really want that new eye palette from Sephora... I've been there. That is why I am here sharing with you affordable looks and ideas how to look fabulous on a special day. Whether you are a bridesmaid or a guest, this season you can save some money and still nail it. 

Dreamy Florals

Have you ever been dreaming of becoming a whimsical fairy for a day? Somebody's wedding day is a nice opportunity to finally try it. For this look I picked up a creamy mini dress with adorable flowers on the both shoulders from Zaful accompanied by C. Rowley beige fringed bag and lace up sandals from Apricot 38. And here you got yourself a look for $81. 
Salmon Florals

Salmon Florals by olesyabond featuring a v neckline dress

Are you looking for something more bohemian? Then this pink salmon look is just right for you. Summer light floral dress from Mango with adorable ruffles on the sleeves is accompanied by chic heels from Zaful. Add the matching tone bag from Topshop with a fringe on the sides and you good to go. This look will cost you a little more then $100.
Pink classics

Pink classics by olesyabond featuring a pink wallet

If you are looking for a more formal clean look, I created this pink elegant set. Classical tea dress paired with bow-embellished heels and lip-shape bag are worth the Queen title for as low as $100.
Stripe and Lace

Not a big fun of skirts and dresses? Understandable. A chic crochet top from Chicwish with striped palazzo pants from Zaful along with ankle tie white sandals is the way to go. For accessories choose white and gold to stay in the color palette. The total price of the look including accessories is $145.

Are you as obsessed with floral prints as I am? Then you would like this flower bomb combo. For top I chose the Romwe long-sleeve top for $11 and paired it with  adorable mini skirt from Topshop for $44. You can go with sandals but I suggest nude pink pumps like this from JustFab for $40. To finish the floral masterpiece get a little purse with floral details. And that is what you get for $135. 
Bohemian White

Bride would get mad at you if you are wearing white dress to her ceremony unless it is white dress with bold flowers. Choose white sandals and classical clutch to pair with. The whole look costs $100.
