Welcome to my imaginary worlds!
My name is Ilona, and I love talking about movies, video games, fashion, but also food and pop culture fashion. But my real passion is writing horror stories.
Enjoy your visit!

My mother told me a little about what she watched as a child and teenager on television and among other things she told me about Winx. So I watched a few episodes on the internet and found some interesting things for my articles devoted to fashion.

Today I’m sharing an excerpt from my diary. I don’t know yet if this post will stay online for long, but my life has been turned upside down in just a few days, and I wanted to share this event. I finally met my mom. Two weeks ago I still can’t believe I’m writing this.…

Yesterday, my in-laws came to visit: my parents-in-law, my sister-in-law, and her fiancé. It was their first time at my house, and I wasn’t quite sure what to do. I was nervous. Is this what being an adult is like? I didn’t have many ideas for the menu, and then my neighbor (my hero!) gave…

I didn’t have much time to write last week, so I’m making up for it with this short post. I wouldn’t want new visitors to feel like they’re just on yet another food blog! Enjoy! The Black Dress Today is flea market day in the town where I grew up. I came home to spend…
