Autumn dress in earthy brown


Gorgeous weather continues to amaze: it is still sunny and warm. I still wear dresses and still go out barelegged. This dress in earthy brown is a new purchase, its fabric is of viscose/polyester/spandex mixture and decorated with small embroidered flowers. Perhaps I would wear different shoes with this dress but as I have not many pairs with me here to chose from I wore the yellow wedges. Yellow is an earthy colour too and so the wedges are in harmony with the dress and with autumn.

Surreal clay jewelry

Bone cat brooch

When I first saw jewelry by Ukrainian designer Lera Procopets who works under pseudonym Valeria Myrusso I experienced mixed feelings; her creations are surreal, sometimes a bit disturbing or even creepy (in her collection you can find, for example, a crow skull pendant or bone phalanges hairpins) but nevertheless strangely beautiful and mysteriously appealing. Lera often gets inspired by fairy tales, myths and legends and so, images of many odd creatures appear on her jewelry. She works with polymer clay, coral, semiprecious stones, shells, metal though some of the details she simply finds at flea markets. Each piece of her handcrafted jewelry is unique, there are no replicas or duplicates in her collections.

Outfit in navy blue


Autumn...The weather is still nice, the sun is not harsh but warm and caressing and morning air is refreshingly chill. I am still enjoying my time in Belarus. You've already seen me wearing this navy blue maxi skirt many times but the long sleeved Desigual top is new, I bought it in Nepal before going to Belarus, the brand's prices there are three times cheaper.
