San Diego
When was the last time you jumped on the train with your lover and one of your favorite couples with no specific plans? It also helps when your boyfriend is a photographer and your friend is a blogger. So naturally, we threw on a couple of cute outfits and documented this awesome day. We went for a day trip to San Diego bar hopping, beach bumming and just lots of good jokes and laughs. Making memories one day at a time.

Coachella x Revolve Party
The best parties are the ones you do not want to end where your abs hurt from laughing too much and next day you find tan lines 😉
Revolve , sure knows how to throw a good party and thats not news to anyone. We had so much fun with some of our awesome friends Margaux and Adam, stuffing our faces with In-N-Out, riskying our lives on a slide, jumping in the pool and just causing ruckus.

Back in Black with Rudsak
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that last week it was Fashion Week in Toronto and i was there walking in a lot of shows. However, one of the highlights of the week was attending and watching RUDSAK F/W 2016 show front row with my man @Samuel.Black.

Rudsak is one of my favorite Canadian brands. They design both mens’ and womens’ outerwear, shoes, purses and clothing. But Rudsak leather is my favorite <3
Next day after the show we went for a little shopping spree.

PAYTONly Waiting for NBA Season to Start
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Are you an NBA fan like me? Well, in this case you will appreciate this little series.
My teams are Raptors (East Coast, repping Toronto) and Lakers (West Coast favs). Recently, I went to see them play against each other in ON, California for a pre-season game. Raps ate Lakers alive winning 105-97…
Inspired, I went to ‘play’ hoops in nothing but Sonic’s Gary Payton’s #20 jersey. Captured by Samuel.Black
Love these and these neon Nikes
Ovo/Raps collection is limited addition, if you are a fan, get it here.
Miami Swim Week 2015 Part 3.
One of the most anticipated events during Miami Swim week this year was Maxim Swimwear runway show at SLS in South Beach.

The casting wasn’t easy. As the models arrived, they took out comp cards and showed them to the client. As we waited in the hallway, girls were called out and given their cards back. Those who didnt hear their names stayed to actually see the client in person. Kinda crazy…
I was pumped to hear that i booked the show. They had 2 fittings to make sure that everything was perfect and we got to meet the new editor of Maxim, Kate Lanphear, who is super cool. We also found out that Maxim was going major rebranding under Lanphear’s supervision. It was so special to be a part of this show and actually a very significant event for the magazine and the industry.

Miami Swim Week 2015 Part.2
There is nothing more fun than being glammed up and rocking the runway in bikinis with a bunch of other babes. It was super fun to be a part of the first ever show for Robb & Lulu, a colorful Australian brand.

You can get Robb&Lulu bikinis here.
And when you think you’ve done it all over the years of being in this industry, TREATS Magazine partners with Lezard Swimwear and makes you walk skate in bikinis in your figure skates. Growing up in Russia and Canada and spending weekends on the ice skating rink just got in handy, who would have thought? Just shows you that its important to try different things in life cause you never know when your skills might be useful!

When i told my friends i was going to South Beach, everyone wished me a great ‘vacation’ and lots of fun…My fun included running between the castings, rubbing shoulders bums against 300 hot models, sweating it like crazy (Miami in July is pretty damn hot) and sleeping for 4 hrs max.
The moment I landed in MIA my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. I had a bunch of castings, fittings and shoots to do in the next 72 hrs. My hotel room wasn’t ready yet, so i had to get ready in a dark hotel bathroom and hit the road running. It was a lovely day meeting my new Miami agency, CGM; waiting for 3 hrs at the castings for my turn; jumping in the ocean in hopes of refreshing myself and finding out that the water is super hot and all the seaweeds are now stuck to me; and then going to another casting with real ‘beachy hair’ and no ‘bitchy attitude’.
