I rarely bought clothes as a child, but my mother loved to sew, and I, to invent new images, focusing on the Soviet magazines Burda. Against the background of the average school of a small provincial town, I looked the most defiant. A little later, music began to influence my style — more unisex clothes, checked shirts, sneakers, and sneakers appeared in the wardrobe. Then there was a period of great love for anime and bows on the neck, short school skirts and a square with a bang.
Without a doubt, now my profession is influenced by my style. Almost every day I teach yoga in the morning and in the evening with a break for work at a laptop in a cafe, so that I rarely can be found not in yoga ammunition. Sometimes I miss more elegant clothes.
Most of the things in my wardrobe are finds from second-hand or vintage stores and gifts from friends. I can invest in something new and expensive, but only if I am sure that these clothes will not get tired in a month. I try to make a conscious choice, although, I confess, there are also breakdowns. My favorite things in the winter are huge hoodie and Levi's boyfriend jeans. In the summer I adore dresses and lightness of fabrics.
Dress Nnedre, Carhartt Bomber Jacket, Dr. Martens Boots
The most weightless dress in the world Nnedre brand of my girlfriend from St. Petersburg. It's always a pleasure to wear a thing when you know who did it and how.
I love almost all Carhartt clothes - I like the history of the creation of the brand and its development, the strict and laconic style of things.
Vegan Chelsea Dr. Martens. Well, what else can vegans wear? Virtually no quality alternatives.
Apple Watch Series 4
This is not just a stylish accessory, it is also an incredibly convenient device. The clock is always with me: on a snowy slope in Sochi, on the sea in Thailand, on a jog in Moscow.
Barbour jacket, COS dress, Bali bracelet
My favorite dress Cos, bought in the group for the sale of clothing on Facebook. Barbour found the jacket in Nizhny Novgorod second-hand - has been pleasing for many years.
Bracelet with a minimalist triangle bought on the market in Bali. A few days after that I stood in a traffic jam on a bike and heard someone call out to me - turned around and saw a craftsman who was making these bracelets with her sister at home. She noticed the decoration on my brush and decided to say hello - I thought it was a good sign.
Le Labo Santal 33 body oil, Le Labo OUD27 perfume, Diptych Philosykos dry perfume
I got used to this smell of oil, like the smell of my skin. The road version of Le Labo OUD27 - sharp, invigorating, as I like. Diptych Philosykos dry perfume is not only a fragrance that has been with me for many years, but also an incredible beauty packaging.
Stella McCartney rain coat, Maaji pants, Adidas Climacool sneakers
My love for Stella is never-ending - I want to buy everything from her! Culottes were given on the set of the Fashion Verdict Sport commercial - I could not part with them.
Adidas Climacool bought on a sale in Kixbox, although it came just like that, for company with a friend. I didn’t need anything, but I saw these light and slightly “ugly” sneakers and could not pass by. In the summer it is an ideal option - I have been wearing more than one year. For some reason I don’t wear clothes, so I have to give shoes and clothes when she gets tired.
Perfume Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk
The smell of clean bedding that never gets bored.
Shirt from Thailand, Maaji pants, Nike Wmns Loden sneakers.
Shirt bought on the market in Thailand. Sometimes I don’t even need to measure a thing: I just see it and immediately understand that I need to. From the front side, this is the usual strict shirt of a free cut, but magic begins from the back.
The culottes are all the same Maaji, they have a match with almost all my wardrobe. Dug out this old model Nike Wmns Loden at a discount on Novoslobodskaya. Joy knew no bounds - they are like Cinderella's shoes!
Ring with pomegranate
Got to me mysteriously through a girlfriend.
Dad's denim dress, Nike dress, Nike Epic React Flyknit sneakers.
During the World Cup, Nike opened the Nike Box space in Gorky Park. In the corner, where no one limited your imagination, you could create a jersey with your own hands. Since my childhood I adore DIY, so for me to do this on my own under the guidance of professionals was a fantastic opportunity! I decorated a few T-shirts: I chose cool patches, and from behind I printed a silk-screen print. On the sides, I added cutouts to give a more subtle look to a simple, seemingly elongated model. Very cool campaign - as always.
Dzhinsovku pulled from the parent's apartment - mom says it's daddy, and he walked in it at the Olympics in the 80th.
I don’t remember more comfortable running shoes than the Nike Epic React Flyknit - they are my faithful companions in any class.
Backpack No Plastic It's Fantastic
My friend Olesya from Petersburg opens this year a zero waste-shop in Petersburg, but for now things can be purchased from her via the Internet. For example, this backpack was completely made of garbage: street advertising banners, seat belts, and more. It attracts attention, and I gladly tell people where it came from and what it is made of.
COS shirt and pants, Vans sneakers
My favorite blank bow for all times. Favorite Vans went wild with time, but still in service.
COS rings, Core Project bracelet
Cos rings bought in Barcelona - I love them for the simplicity of the lines. Core project is a brand of jewelry for runners. I have a few suspensions that I lose on average once a year for jogging. Not so long ago, the project had a bracelet with an engraving of 42.2 km - for me this is a significant number of the long-suffering Moscow marathon.
Unknown Brand Dress, Nike Air Vapormax Sneakers
Airy dress from the group on the exchange of things on Facebook. I feel in him a little lady not from our time. At the same time, in the summer, I can jump on a bicycle and dash around the ring to the student to practice.
These crumbs of Nike Air Vapormax are just like two clouds, putting on which you start to soar with them in the dance. We walked many thousands of steps across different countries, ran many kilometers for different races. If I have a long flight, then I will definitely choose this pair.
Bracelet from India
Bracelet with the moon bought in India. After studying at the Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore and in front of Vipassana in Sri Lanka, I walked around the market in Goa and could not resist.
Cos pants, shirt from Thailand, Nike Air Vapormax sneakers
Kimono shirt from the market in Thailand. It always feels like a free man on a bike, rushing through the palm jungle.
Grandma's malachite earrings
It seems that this is the only thing that remained with me after the death of my grandmother. She was a very congenial person to me, so I treasure this couple. I put on a special occasion.
Carhartt t-shirt, shirt and coat, Levi's jeans, New Balance sneakers.
The most tender t-shirt won me over at first sight, and presented it to a friend with the words: "I know that it will suit you." Not mistaken, despite the male size and length almost knee-deep. I can not take it off for months - even on a trip with tents in Norway I took it.
Coat Carhartt is incredibly cozy - it was sewn as if specially for me. I wear on cold autumn evenings and late spring. Levi's vintage jeans are suitable for everything, and oversized as well, so I can barely sleep in them.
The legendary New Balance 997 in the new incarnation. Sometimes it seems to me that my bright style should remain in the past, but when I see such a combination of color and shape, I can not resist! Classic.
