Oh ...Thank you for your generous compliments, Vix!! Oh your house is absolutely charming - I will have to make a point of commenting on your interiors in your blog (since I am not really sure whether people read replies to their comments on other people's blogs or not - it is not obvious here in Blogger). You are a queen of vintage dressing, fun and brightly colorful! So I guess it's a good thing that we grew up the way we did - our creativity blossomed from it. Though, wouldn't it be wonderful to do whatever we all love doing without any restrictions... like money? :)<br /><br />My mom probably grew up similarly to your friend - not enough food, very simple food, practically whatever they were able to grow in Siberia. So lots of potatoes. :) But she is a very creative and elegant woman, nevertheless.

If there is anything that I would do (and I do) every day of my life with no exception, in one or another form, it would be writing. Writing in English is quite challenging because I have never actually studied English grammar or vocabulary in a serious "formal" way. I do most of what I do intuitively. Justin always compliments my writing abilities, and I appreciate encouragement very much. I think we all need more encouragement in what we love doing, don't we? So I thank you from my heart for your words. And the fact that you see art in my blogging is very precious to me. I have to thank Justin for all his help though - it is a collaboration between us, really.

Mom grew up in a large family, in tiny and very poor village right after the WW II. They obviously did not have much. But I think both of us in some ways equally impractical people with love for cozy interiors and beautiful clothes. :) The difference would be though, that she prefers things on a modern side - her choice of furniture would be light wood, clean lines, and not many details. I love cottage style and colors, and lots of all sorts of little collections... I don't think my mom collected anything in her life, except for maybe books - she created quite an extended, wonderful family library... And while she appreciates my box collection, she feels like there is not enough space for all the things I want to fit in my home. :) I grew up with much more stuff available, compare to my mom's childhood and early years, in a city apartment, but I am so partial to a cozy cottage living... Interesting how that happens, yes?<br /><br />And I so agree with you - real genuine voices, that is the most precious to me in life and in art (and blogging as a way of living and creating!). It can be a bit scary to open up though. ~ With love, NataliaNatalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-10652386945442532652014-02-18T21:01:22.771-08:002014-02-18T21:01:22.771-08:00Thank you very much! :)Thank you very much! :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-54598179472852939172014-02-17T08:46:08.095-08:002014-02-17T08:46:08.095-08:00What a wonderful Valentine's Day outfit. That ...What a wonderful Valentine's Day outfit. That skirt is wonderfully feminine and flirty and paired with the slinky yellow sweater and cute pumps it looks edgy and cool. <br />I have a friend who grew up in the former Czechoslovakia, she remembers what it was like to go hungry and to wear hand-me-downs and gets so much joy from shopping pretty things and cooking extravagant meals. My family were frugal through choice. As children we had new clothes for Xmas or birthdays and the rest of the time it was second-hand and make-do. That ethos stayed with me as an adult, I feel uncomfortable spending on new stuff when there's so much gorgeous vintage clothes to be had in charity shops - that's not to say that i don't love being surrounded but pretty dresses and things, my house is crammed with them! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-40735931657211595332014-02-17T05:47:55.355-08:002014-02-17T05:47:55.355-08:00All I can say is wow, so beautifully said.

Touching to hear about living in a minimal way and now living in a all out vision of your own making. You are inspiring!

The skirt is suitably flirty, and I love the rich colours of the sweater and jacket.<br />I think there is something about not having much in your younger years that might make you more likely to crave variety and colour. I grew up in a family with not much money, so despite there being plenty of goods available (unlike yours and Olga's situation), I didn't have many clothes. I recognise the need for things to last, to be serviceable, for everything to "go" with everything else, hence no wildly impractical or colourful purchases.<br />Now? I have probably reacted against all that, though I still spend cautiously and buy mostly secondhand. I want colour and print and lots of choice. I do think style should be about playfulness and fun and feeling fabulous, it doesn't have to be overly analysed or too "thinky"! The bloggers I love the most are people who are genuine, whose style inspires, and whose writing sounds like a real voice, a real person. xxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-7258482811507639122014-02-16T10:45:17.180-08:002014-02-16T10:45:17.180-08:00love the skirt

No wonder I prefer to shop in small shops (I almost never shop at large department stores, except for maybe tights or "big" purchases like coats), or browse a clearance rack, and of course antique malls and vintage shops where there is much less stuff, but so much more fun because shopping becomes very special, and from time to time you can find your little treasure. :) Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-12268945330992701332014-02-16T01:26:34.391-08:002014-02-16T01:26:34.391-08:00I absolutely agree with your conception, Natalia, ...I absolutely agree with your conception, Natalia, - wear whatever makes you happy, whatever you feel at the moment, don't copy others or "follow the crowd" so to say. My early youth years were similar to those your described: not much clothes to chose from, one pair of boots (any boots that you manage to buy) for several years and so on. But what is interesting, it didn't bother me at all. <br />The skirt you are wearing here is really very pretty. And I like how you styled it with the bright top. The beads necklace is wonderful too.<br />Great post!Olga Ranihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875044569337689314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-69019955356476737052014-02-15T22:30:26.365-08:002014-02-15T22:30:26.365-08:00Thank you, my dear friend! :) Happy Valentine'...Thank you, my dear friend! :) Happy Valentine's Day and all the very best to you and your family! :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-27217923424798445042014-02-15T17:44:28.160-08:002014-02-15T17:44:28.160-08:00Natalia, I love this romantic and smart post, ther...Natalia, I love this romantic and smart post, there are so many kinds of love, all deserving to be celebrated!<br />Love your skirt,<br />Happy valentine's day,<br /><br />http://mydailycostume.com<br />XX, ElleEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318444816299161508noreply@blogger.com
