Bohemian Dreams

Hello there! 
The summer is finally here! Today is the First of July and after spending June meeting the deadlines I'm excited to start living the life and also, counting 2 month until my 18th birthday! It will be dreamlike! yey! 
Meanwhile, I cant believe its been over 2 weeks that I haven't said anything.. I guess I've been having too much fun since school ended ahah! One of those fun things was going to Vilamoura to my friend's house for few days, before I start working! There is so much to tell i don't even know where to start! After waking up at 8 and spending 8 hours in school our regime changed to waking up at 11 and spending about 7 hours on the beach, going home, eating and going out! Sadly that paradise lasted for only 4 days but it was truly fun and I loved spending time with the True friends!  
Of course with such a busy schedule it was hard to find time to shoot all the outfits of day'n'night for you but I managed to shoot this look for you which is truly my favorite! Look at the photos, don't they just scream "Bohemian Goddess" ahah With the beautiful sunsets of Vilamoura the combination turned out truly magical! 
Im wearing a dress i bought last year in Quicksilver shop after my birthday but i never got to wear it 
:( So this was the premiere of it! Paired with the cliche boots i always wear - sorreyyyy I love them and they fit with everything!.. and Accessories were on point this look! Blue back from Zara, Purple sunglasses from Emblem Eyewear, Golden "Goddess crown" and boho tattoos from Mimi et Fonfon :) 
Enjoy the magic of the photos, comment and follow me with GFC (blue button! check web version not mobile to be able to see it!) 
Kisses! Enjoy your summer to the maximum!

Madrid Day 1 | Olive days

Hello my lovelies!!
Today I come to tell you all that this week my Strapless Blog celebrated 1 year!!!
I can't believe its been so long already! 365 days spent on thinking about you, my readers, visitors and followers! Today, I want to thank you all! For 1312 likes on my Facebook page, for 136 followers in Blogger, for 67 posts, for 47,000 views, 370 comments and all the support you've given me over this year with your kind messages, comments and even random complements on the streets, nightclubs and shopping centres! Its been amazing and Im not planning on ever giving up or stopping this hobby of mine, because of you! Thank you all again! 
These 3 weeks or so, Ive been having the hardest times of the scholar year - the exam season! As you might've read already, my Russian school exams happen in Russian school in Madrid, so once a week Id go there for 2 days. Spend my first day meeting the city, visiting places and next day have my exams in the morning and if theres a possibility shoot some things for you to share afterwards:) 
That day, after one of my exams, My new made friend and I walked till the Plaza del Colon where we found this weird structure where we shot these pics for you! If you truly know me, you should know or you can guess this outfit is fully from Zara! :) 
I'm glad to share my exams went moderately well,  and Im thrilled for summer: shoots in bikinis and on the beach, road trips and festivals, more collaborations and more of you joining the community of the blog followers! 
Enjoy the photos and once again, thank you all so much! 

-xoxo Masha

Papua Bikini

Hello Guys!
The month of June, of sun and beach, of warm and sleepless nights (wether its because you're partying or because its too hot to sleep) has come and its already the 8th! Even though i still have 3 weeks of school, deadlines to meet and more travelling to Madrid for my exams, I now have less stress and more time to enjoy myself, pool and my lovely bikini from Papua! Its been soooooo long since i received! Luckily, this weekend i got to go to my pool and shoot some pics wearing this white beauty, which sadly looks too white on my pale skin, but I'm feeling optimistic as soon I'll get tanned and it will look better :) yey! 
Enjoy the photos <3

MARVEL Friends

Hey hey hey!!! 
Hows everything, ladies and possibly gentlemen, on the other side of the screen? 
These days have been rough & tough.. Studying in school, studying at home, missing pointless lessons to study more in the library and going to the lessons, purely to clear the doubts of my own and not even follow the lesson topics! Its been 3 or 4 weeks since my isolation mode had turned on! M and I have been studying all the time putting everything on the second place! I wonder if our friends still remember about us haha. Well, this monday 25th we started the exams and I can assure you the relief and gratitude we have for spending those days studying while others spent them playing feels good! And i think we agree that it was totally worth it! 
Today, right now actually, I finished my exams in English school and tomorrow Im off to Madrid do exams for my Russian Diploma! Get ready for overload of posts :) hehe 

So one of those days of studying last week, after doing my trial exam in Russian school, I got to go for a Girlie lunch with my Mom near Expo, where we found this amazing wall, inspired by all the cartoon characters from Marvel, Pixar and others! Thank God I had my camera with me! And as you can see it was a true luck this happened! I just love those moments! 
Im wearing a Zara jacket, simple white top and jeans! Nothing special but with bright colour of the jacket and matching colour of my fav Mike Wasowski from the Monsters Inc. we worked well together and photos came out amazing! Lightened my mood straight away all thou the shoot had to be very quick because i had to continue studying and every 30 min or 1 hour that i lose on enjoying nature, setting, outfits and food is "an opportunity cost "- basically the cost to me of not learning that piece of material at that time which i spent relaxing could turn out to be a question material i won't be able to respond in the exam, you see what i mean? Anyways, now i can relax as Ive done it all, and Im confident Ive done it well! So now, no worries, no stress! Peace and love haha 

For now, enjoy the photos! 
Im going to get myself some chocolate and loud music to celebrate this! yet :)

Time to find out things about me! | Personal | tags

Hello Out there!
Over past week I got tagged and nominated to participate in 2 TAGS! Tags, are a way to explore new blogs or to find new things about the blogger who's style you like and who's blog you´re following! Yes, we share our style all over the network and express emotions and opinions in the posts of our blogs, but its just a tiny part of us, and i find these tags a very interesting and fun thing to do and to read as well :) 
So here's the first TAG and Andreia Calado from Nerdy Chill Out blog kindly nominated me to do it! 

The rules are simple:
State 11 Facts about yourself
Answer the questions given to you by the blog that nominated you
Write 11 more questions 
Nominate/TAG 11 more blogs

So here are 11 facts about me:

1. Until 12 yeas old i lived in Moscow, Russia
2. I was never blond (even a tiny bit) until i moved to Portugal 
3. I speak in 4 languages, and despite being Russian i think in English
4. I think diets are stupid and I eat whenever I want, whatever I see before me
5. I recently bought a rabbit, which I hate right now, cos he always poops...
6. I love Art -a lot- and I'm good at it, but i don't wanna pursue it as a carrier
7. I want to be a journalist and work in Vogue somewhere like London or Paris
8. Im in LOVE with French language and my aim is to learn it next year!
9. I love online shopping. I always create wish lists and baskets but usually afterwards, I forget about their existence 
10. I like jewellery/necklaces but I don't have any, which is annoying (and i always choose to buy a piece of clothing rather than an accessory which is also annoying)
11. I love wearing rings, but my rule is that whenever I start biting my nails I don't paint them or wear rings. So I have to wait till my nails grow to make them pretty and wear rings!

oops, that was fast! haha but you still have around 50 things about me to find out in the second TAG!

Well now, time to answer questions!

1. O que podes dizer sobre o teu blog? / 
What can you say about your blog?

Im very proud of my work! I love writing and I always feel worried when I have no time to write something.. I don't wanna disappoint you or make you wait and stuff, so Usually when i have time i write ideas and outfit plans so that when i get more time i make it all happen! I don't quite like my layout, but very very soon it will change as I've been working for months on it and then it will truly become perfect! 

2. O que te levou a criares o teu blog? / 
What made you create your blog?

Well, i started my first blog in around 2013, but i was very shy, and i didn't share it, or talk about it in public! I had my confidence problems + photography wasn't good either! But as time passed, and i gained confidence in myself, I decided to start the blog again! Firstly, i thought it would help me develop my writing style & + I always wanted to become like Chiara Ferragni (still do tho... we all do! Lets admit it).. ahah I also think it was just the urge to express myself and show my passion-for-fashion!

3. Qual o teu top 5 de blogs? / What are your top 5 blogs? 

Chiara Ferragni - The Blond Salad.com ,  Nina Urgell Cloquell - @ninauc, 
Kenza Zouiten - Kenzas.com , Sofia Reis - Mexiquer, Barbara Ines - Banging Fashion

4. O que te inspira? / What inspires you? 

There isn't a specific thing you know? Its all very spontaneous! Im a person who thinks A LOT! I'm always thinking about very weird stuff and its even worrying sometimes! So, sometimes, i have those moments when i think about something, and then like a notification pops in " Remember this! You could share that in your blog!" so then i take a note of it and sometimes i share, sometimes i forget about that note and something better or something else just comes to my head! My outfits, are also my - own inspiration! I don't usually look up outfits of celebrities and try copying them - all tho thats a nice idea! i should make a post of it - Noted! (tick) ahah thats an example of inspiration aahha random! 

5. O que encontramos na tua mala? / 
What can we find in your bag?

I don't usually take any bags with me... but if i do there will be : My camera, Hairbrush, Phone charger, headphones, few coins & 5 euros or so, bubblegum... 

6. Qual Ć© o cheiro da tua infĆ¢ncia? / 
Whats the smell of your childhood?

Interesting question, took me some time to remember but i think its or the smell of my grand grandmother´s perfume! Very old one and very good quality one! It wasn't the "Eau de perfume" it was actually very viscous and strong! 

7. AtĆ© Dezembro tens de... / Until December you have to...

Meet all the deadlines for all the b*llshit homework's and written tasks that IB tells you to do.. 
and Travel with M somewhere nice and romantic hehe 

8. EstĆ” sol lĆ” fora e tu.../ Its Sunny outside and you ...

working like a slave! stuDYING for my exams in both of my schools! I haven't been outside for ages! I think eve the Ghost Casper would envy my paleness... but luckily this will end in exactly 7 days and then ill finish my Russian exams in Madrid which will have its perks like visiting the city, Museo del Prado and shooting for my Blog :)

9. O que mudarias? / What would you change?

Right now, in my life there are a lot of things I wish i could change.. like different situations with people around me, time management problems, my diet (to a healthier one!), and my money situation. Being broke ain't funny.. 

10. O que melhoravas no teu blog? /
 What would you make better in your blog?

As i said before my design! and my name it getting on my nerves so I'm thinking i will change it as well... so stay tuned <3

11. O que achas do blog que te nomeou? / 
What do you think about the blog that nominated you?

I didn't know Andreia's blog before she sent me a message in my Facebook page! Right away checked it inside out! The thing i love doing is going to Archive, choosing the first month and seeing the posts and then going to the lasts ones and noticing the difference and the progress! And its very interesting! Andreia's Blog is very nice and i think you should all check it out :)

Welllllll, now I´ll break my head thinking about MY 11 questions! So here we go:

1. Do you follow all the fashion trends, and wear stuff accordingly to what´s fashionable, or you don't really care?
2. What is the difference between fashion and style for YOU?
3. What is the fashion even you must go (or have been to already)?
4. Who are your top 5 bloggers?
5. What are your dreams for your blog?
6. What is your favourite time of year?

Warm days are hereeee!




Hey Heyy,
How you feeling? Sadly, my parents seem to forget i have 2 schools and 2 sets of exams in the same dates and i have less than 1 week to get ready for both, and decide to go for brunches with other families and friends, enjoying the views and posh conversation.. When parents - mostly dads show off their kids and their extra curriculars or speak in a weird language of business, women brag about their female stuff, all though i confess, my mother is nothing like me - no shopping addict; and kids run around restaurant.. and then theres me - reading book reviews or maths videos, taking advantage of every free moment to catch as much as i can before my exams but yet, thinking about my dear followers, you guys, and one of those free moments i ran to take these photos!
I also took time to take the photos of delicious meal in Farol Design Hotel! This time it was the Mix Restaurant! The best part of the meal was obviously the dessert! Whenever you go there, you can show them my photos and they make the same for you :) <3 
That day was sunny but windy, so a jumpsuit was perfect, with a sweater for breeze minutes, which would make me freeze so much! I mean Im russian how can i be cold in 28 degrees or so?! Jumpsuit is from Forever 21, from last September and the sweater form H&M - long time ago! 

Hope you enjoy the photos, and good luck for your exams if you have them, if not - dont say anything ill get super jealous ahah 

- xoxo Masha 









Soup made of peas :) 


I think that was codfish.. or some other fish, all i can remember it was delicious! 


Meaaat!


Dessert: Caramel syrop on top, cupcake shaped biscuit with condensed milk inside! 


Relaaaaxing :)
