a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Happy 2020 lovely readers! It is not accidental that I'm starting the new year with a business chic outfit because this year I mean business. My NY decision is to focus more on my work and professional life in order to make the most out of the opportunities I've been getting lately. As for my blog, I must admit that I don't have any specific plans or goals. I attempted to make my blog multi lingual again last year, but I wasn't able to keep it up and I'm not sure will I be able to do it the future. The problem is that I write long posts as it is so finding time to translate them isn't easy. I worked as a translator so that's not an issue, the issue is just the time it takes to do it right and I don't want to do it poorly. All I'm going to say is that I hope to write and prepare some good posts for you (any myself too) in 2020. I have already used a good part of my Christmas leave to work on new posts so I have a dozen posts in drafts. I will certain...

It's the last day of year 2019. What to wear for NYE? If you want to shine, then opting for a shiny outfit makes sense. Fabrics that catch the light such as metallic, sequin, shiny and glitter ones are really trending this year. A nice sequin of metallic dress is a sure way to get noticed.  If your choice is a sequin or a metallic item, then you've probably asked yourself how to layer it. Today I'll show you how I layer some of my metallic and sequin items. A nice coat is always a great thing to throw over a sequin or metallic dress, but that is not the only option. You can also experiment with tops, shirts and blazer. If you're celebrating outside, then layering your NYE outfit REALLY makes sense. HOW TO LAYER A GOLD SEQUIN MAXI DRESS?  Bellow you can see how I layered this gold sequin maxi dress with a vintage golden top. Pairing gold with gold makes sense. If you want to make sure you're warm and cozy, throwing on a top over your maxi dress is a go...

Checking out and reviewing our blog statistics is always an educating experience. Regardless of whether you are a professional or a hobby blogger (or something in between), reading your blogging statistics can tell you a lot about what kind of content your readers enjoy. So, I analyzed  my blogger statistics for this year to see what posts were the most visited ones. Now, I'm not a professional bloggers and not surprisingly my views are not the most impressive ones. I've been blogging for seven years and I still a bit short of one million views while there are bloggers who get a million views monthly. Still, I think it makes sense to reflect on our blogging work, even for small- time bloggers,  because it can be a great learning experience.  I don't blog for views, but I'm genuinely interested in what my readers like and what they read the most. Therefore, I think it makes sense to make this kind of posts.  It is interesting to have a look at them and even more ...
