About
Hey, internets pal. I’m Yana, and I do inspiration. Anything that has to do with beautiful stuff is my purview.
A Handful of Stories was created for fashion-loving daydreamer with a critical outlook. The one who wants maximum impact with minimum hassle, wants to be challenged in new ways, wants to be inspired, but never dictated. Also, when you daydream on a regular basis, you can’t be bothered with hours of doing make-up & hair, so low-maintenance is key (my routine takes 10 mins).
I went from being a tomboy through my childhood and school years to joining Russia’s national alpine skiing team to becoming a certified stylist and a fashion blogger. Personal style is an ongoing journey; this blog is where I share my experience.

Here is one crucial and one useless fact about me clustered together. Try to guess which is which.
I’m a Leo & I don’t know what that means.
I majored in linguistics & I haven’t worn nude tights for at least five years.
I have two cats (Scottish fold and British longhair) & a boyfriend (swears he’s from this planet).
I need you to follow me on Instagram & I want a snake (ok, that’s two very crucial facts).
