The last day of the year 2012. Seems like I should make some conclusions to this year and highlight the most memorable and important events that happened this year. But I'm not going to do this. Instead, I'm giving you an insight into my preparations for the New Year's Eve.

We are one step closer to the New Year's Eve that's coming tomorrow. Hope you are all ready for it and as excited as I am. All the presents are ready and are waiting under the fir-tree. Fir-tree, in turn, is ready to shine tomorrow. And today I had make-up and hairstyle trial.

Well, most of the presents are wrapped. Wrapped by myself! I'm trying to be creative and putting all my love into it. So, darlings, just wait for the New Year!

One fact about me - I used to play the piano. Music used to be an important part of my life. Just like fashion now. Some 10 years ago a dreamed about becoming a musician. A world-known singer. And I dumped it for fashion. Do I regret about this decision? No. I chose something that I have bigger passion for... a really interesting, beautiful and crazy world of fashion.

I already told and showed you how much snow do we have outside, but it didn't stop me from wearing heels today. Today's winter mix is based on knitwear, colors and heels.

First full day back home and it's snowing. And it's been an amazing day. Went for a short stroll around the old town and I should say that it looks so beautiful with all the snow, lights and fairs! Met Father Frost, got candies, made wishes and got so much positive emotions.

Good morning! I'm, finally, back home. And Riga looks so gorgeous in snow!

Yesterday I had a long trip, but it didn't ruin my excitement. And my mood was even better when I reached home and met my family. They greeted me with lots of delicious food and I got an early present from Moscow. It feels so great to be home!

As you already know I attended Valentino exhibition at Somerset House yesterday. I had this look in my mind for some time, but decided to keep it until some event and the Valentino one was a perfect try. And in one look I combined geometric, leather, burgundy/purple and large necklace trends.

To tell the truth, I'm not the biggest fan of the hats, apart from my collection of big fur ones. Unfortunately, they all are back home, but during this winter holidays I hope I'll need them (looking forward for lots of snow in Riga). So, yesterday while doing some Christmas shopping I found this funny and cute knitted pom pom beanie that looked really good. And the color is perfect that suits not only myself, but my bag as well!

As you may know burgundy is another major trend this fall/winter season. This color is quite dramatic and effective at the same time, with a little bit of mystery. Well, I should say that burgundy color is a must-have this winter, doesn't matter if it's a dress, a skirt or a lipstick, this color is perfect for the winter period.

Officially, the winter began today and it's only 30 days left till New Year! And it's perfect time to warm yourself up with big soft sweaters and jumpers, hot chocolate and mulled wine. First day of this winter I spent in a good company at the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, London. Despite the crowd we had lots of fun and got a lot of sweets.

Had so much fun with my girl Anastasia last night. It was supposed to be Marangoni Christmas party at Cuckoo club (but, of course, it wasn't as usual with our university). Anyway, it is a night to remember. To mention, how much I love the very center of London by night without the crazy tourist crowd.

Exam is over, all the stress as well. And what is the best anti-stress for females? Shopping! And my Christmas/personal shopping started today at One New Change mall in St. Paul's. Now I'm fully in a Christmas mood after all the shop windows. Got inspired about Christmas gifts for family and friends and found something for myself. This time it's only two jumpers, but nice ones, exactly what I was looking for. And you will see them on my very-very soon.

Had a truly great end of the week yesterday with my lovely couple, Nancy and Navid. We spent the evening at the Moroccan restaurant in Shoreditch with some drinks, food and sheesha. And after had a funny walk back home (you can see it from the pictures). What can I say... the time I spend with this couple is the best and I'm really pleased to know them.

It's Friday! And my choice for today is black lace dress with 3/4 sleeves and cut out back. I chose this dress for my look cause during the day it can be combined with other casual clothes and accessories, but in the evening the look can be transformed for the party one, in case of going out.
