Oktoberfest: Two weeks of drinking, singing, dancing, celebrating and doing things you'll never remember. ;) The magic of the world's greatest Volksfest bewitched me right away. And I have to admit: This is something you should definitely experience at least once! For the majority this seems to be the most wonderful time of the year. People take days off at work in order to enjoy the traditional beer fest to the fullest. While some are drunk in love, others prepare their outfits for months and turn the Wiesn into Bavaria's greatest runway. It's time to grab your friends, dress up and have fun! (whether you are actually lucky enough to be in Munich or at some other place like the Hofbräuhaus in Las Vegas) O'zapft is! ;)

Do you guys collect autograph cards? The Internet literally replaced everything. Autograph cards were replaced by likes and comments on Instagram, CDs were replaced by iTunes and letters were replaced by Facebook messages. Today I'm lucky enough to add Stella McCartney's signature to my collection. She's in good company, I'll put her card right next to the one by Bruce Willis. ;) The lovely Lady McCartney visited Munich in order to promote the relaunch of her fragrance Stella, modelled by the stunning Lara Stone. Stella welcomed the fans, bloggers and photographers with her signature British charm and a heartly smile. I always admired her for the fact that she's as known as her epic legendary father. Stella taught us that there is nothing more important than self realization. It's not enough to be someone's daughter or somebody's wife. Her kids look up to her thinking 'That's my mum, one of the most influential designers of the 21st century, plus my grandpa is a Beatle!'. Girls, here's today's message: Make your future kids and husbands proud! Be the woman who made all of her dream come true. Be the woman every other girl wants to be! ;)
Check out Stella with the fans and boys from Douglas Germany:

Here it is: The long-awaited first preview of Alexander Wang's collaboration with H&M. What do you guys think? I feel like this should be called Alexander Wang's boot camp/ wanderlust chic (by hm.com).

Don't get me wrong, I'm obviously loving 93% of what I've seen so far, but I really hope that there will be a little bit more to the collection than that. Remember when Alexander Wang was THE insider for sexy cocktail wear? There was this one blue/black stretch dress he designed for his SS 2009 runway show. It was the it-piece of every single exquisite get-together from Paris to Tokyo. This dress represented everything I loved about that time: Alexandra Richards' style, Mark Ronson's music and cool NYC parties hosted by Nylon Magazine. I kind of miss that AW and after seeing those H&M pics I just have to raise the question: Where is the sexy Alexander Wang?! Where is the basic asymmetric black dress that works with both Givenchy heels and Celine sneakers?
Ok, I admit I love those stunning laced boots (look Nr. 3), I love that backpack and I can work with that jumper. And for those of you who loved AW's latest collections, this collabo is a real hit. The leggings with the logo print are highly inspired by this year's pieces. The logo wear became a signature part of the current collections.
That's what I've always loved about him, the incredible versatility of his fashion. Alexander Wang can be everything from futuristic and avant-garde to sophisticated and sexy. At the end of the day it's all about the way you style the pieces individually. Speaking of the H&M collection: What about a black slim fit suit, some killer heels and this sporty tube top? Iggy Azalea will make it super hot, Leandra Medine will show us how to do it en Vogue and Kate Bosworth will rock it with her casual hipster wardrobe. Can't wait to see the looks you guys will put together! ;)
Well I guess there is always a way to make it whatever you want to make it. ;) So guys, I really don't want to judge too quickly, let's just wait for the other pieces to hit the Internet. Anyways, the 6th of November is going to be a fashionista's Christmas. ;)
What is your favourite piece? How do you feel about the line? Stay tuned for more updates & have a great weekend! ;)
It's been one month ever since Ivan Dorn performed at this year's New Wave festival opening. This performance made history. Dorn is now one of those who taught us that making a little statement can create a very big movement. This video was all over the news channels, some people said it was epic, some called it the most genuine performance of the festival.
I spent an entire month in the Ukraine and I smiled every single time I saw someone wearing folklore clothes. I saw so many young girls wearing Ukrainian flower crowns and trident ( Тризуб ) shirts, I realised that there is a new generation of history aware people who value and protect their cultural heritage and the spirit of liberty, peace and freedom. Fashion is expression. Let's pay tribute and admire those who do it in front of the whole world.

I want to say Дякую/Thank You to all the musicians, comedians, designers, journalists and artists in general, who keep using the voice they have in order to support every single victim of this situation. These moments require all the love we can give. Let's do it tastefully! Have a great day guys (and listen to Ivan Dorn... ;) ) #FASHIONFORPEACE
I've always admired well designed restaurants. People say that you eat with your eyes first, right? But how are you supposed to enjoy excellent gourmet dishes in a not so hot place?
So when it comes to going out for dinner it's all about location location location! My favourite restaurant in my hometown Kharkov used to be the absolutely fabulous Metropol Park (a post is coming up soon). You know how you always end up going to the same place? We went to Metropol so often that it started to get awkward, it basically became our living room! ;) So when the girls offered to visit the new it-place called Dubrovsky I was all in. We took a cab and within 10 minutes we arrived at one of the most stunning restaurants I've ever seen. Imagine a flawless lake, a gorgeous terrace and the most breathtaking view perfected by extremely well dressed people. The food is obviously as excellent as the location. We stayed there for the entire day, next time I'll definitely check out their spa treatments. The location is also perfect for all kinds of festivities like weddings and big birthday parties. I'm truly in love! Dubrovsky is the place to be! ;)
I wish there would be a place like that in Munich. The concept of a restaurant-resort complex surrounded by pure nature is an absolute winner. I bet this would become epic in a city like NY... Central Park maybe? ;)
There is so much beauty in my homeland Ukraine... Я люблю Україну! ;)
