I did not think the “blogger’s block” was a thing until it hit me, heavily, around six months ago.
All of a sudden, the mundane happenings that had always been my muse were failing to inspire me. I was metaphorically shooting blanks.
Since I’m still out of ideas but the show must go on, this week I’m putting in the driver’s seat my beautiful and talented friend Elizabeth Jennings (Liz).
Liz is the epitome of the woman who has it all: career (she’s part-time travel agent, part-time nurse), family (married to Philip and mother of Paige and Henry) and in the little free time she has, she manages to pursue creative projects like keeping the Soviet Union together or disposing bodies.
Given that she also possesses an exquisite and transformative sense of style, I asked her to put together some outfits to express the eclectic, multi-layered shades of her personality. You can buy outfits online with a coupon from Raise. Take it away Liz!
Outfit #1
Hi guys this is my first blog post on “The World of Liz”.
This week’s look is called “Real Housewife of Chernobyl” and it just makes me feel confident and powerful in my everyday life.
What makes YOU feel confident and #inspired? Tell me in the comments

This look is inspired by the best band of all time in the history of the universe: TATU!
?All the things she said all the things she said running through my head running through my head ?
I want the lyrics tattoed on my lower back!!!

Outfit #3
I stole this look from a university professor I saw on the internet.
Ok, it was actually a girl *playing* a professor in a video LOL. I had to pause the video quickly because, as much as I have an eye for detail, she did not wear clothes for very long.
This is my outfit of choice for when I attend Meetup.com gatherings with business people.
What do YOU wear when you want them to “smell money and success” instead of that discounted perfume you bought from a barefoot woman on the streets of Minsk in 1985?
Tell me in the comments!
Outfit#4
This is what I call a “nedgy” outfit (nerdy+edgy ???)
I wore this when I auditioned for my favorite show “The Big Bang Theory”. @missmayim ended up getting the part.
Maybe I’m too pretty IDK.

Hi everybody,
this week’s look is called “Siren of Trouble” and is inspired by the gloomy character in The Breakfast Club. I wear this outfit when I infiltrate the AA meetings to find fragile men who would buy me dinner and a drink LOL

Outfit #6
This is me on the day I told my coiffeur I wanted to look like Baby from Dirty Dancing and it turned out like a Bichon Frise deceased on my skull .
I was like: “Dimitry, FFS, I wanna be supportive of Mother Russia but I’m not one of your eastern pop singers who probably get their perm done in prison”.
To lift myself up I got a McFlurry on my way home :P :P
How do YOU cope with a bad hair day? Tell me in the comments!
Outfit #7
Hello babes,
This is my “anonymous” look for when I go to Burger King and I don’t want my friends to know.
Fun fact: they all think I’m paleo and anti-consumerism or something LOAL
That’s not even diet coke I’m drinking YOLOOOOOOOO

Outfit #8
I put together this outfit quickly before going on a pity-date with some loser. #Inspiration: a mix of Daria and someone who listens to Ani di Franco LOL
What do YOU wear when you want to say “you repel me, I can’t even”?

Outfit #9
This is the outfit I wore in the music video of “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift.
A few weeks earlier, a guy saw me on the street while I was beating the crap out of two enemies of the cause and he was like “Badass! Wanna take part in a video?”.
At first I was hesitant, since Taylor being a neo-nazi icon kinda conflicts with my political views, but I wanted to get a selfie with Selena Gomez so whatevs.
Outfit #10
Everybody thinks I’m a fashionista, but deep down I have a grunge soul that only a selected bunch can see.
I wore this outfit at #Coachella2018 and at the concert of my favorite band Haim. It was A M A Z I N G
Don’t judge a book by its cover people!!

Hi everyone,
Today I thought I’d share with you all tips and tricks for the perfect Halloween #makeup (I surprised my daughter with it and she basically pissed her pants ROTFL).
What are YOUR favorite spooky makeup tutorials? Tell me in the comments!

Outfit #12
Girls, this is the perfect look if you ever want to host a feminist book club. The silver hair screams “old soul book worm” but the hipster glasses give it that special je-ne-sais-quoi to make you look approachable, modern and fun!
Tbh Marx’s Capital was supposed to be our first book but was a little bit long and we decided to turn the book club into a movie night. Sharknado GAVE ME LIFE!!1!
Outfit#13
Today’s look is all about balancing a free-spirited aura and a centered personality.
You can wear this to a job interview for a creative role, like Graphic Designer or Social Media Manager.
Remember: the secret to look confident is TO FEEL cofident!
xoxo

Outfit #14
I’ve created this look for Mental Health Awareness Day, to show all women that expressing your internal turmoil through your hairstyle is a great first step.
Got the earrings on Etsy for 9.99 ?
How do YOU incorporate your illness in your looks?

Outfit #15
I feel SO badass in this pic! I was headed to the christening of my christian-fundamentalist daughter Paige and I wanted a look that said “I’m proud of you” but also “religion is the opiate of the masses” ROTFLLL.
Too bad you can’t see the Marylin Manson 1997 Tour t-shirt I was wearing under that coat.
Outfit #16
This one is a comfortable, day look, but not without some character. It projects harmlessness towards the other ladies, but won’t fail to trigger the protective instincts of the man you want to seduce.
What do YOU wear when you’re out homewrecking?
xoxo

Outfit #17
Bonus Track: this is my friend Paige (ok, daughter, but everyone thinks we’re sisters LOL).
She asked me for advice on Halloween and I wanted her to dress up like the female lead in Battleship Potemkin. The costume was kinda too elaborate to make, though, so in the end she decided to go to the party as Harry Potter.
Hahahahahaahaha she’s my biggest disappointment in life.
