...iata ca am ajuns si la mare anul asta, neanticipat, avand in vedere ca nu-mi place sa stau la soare si in ultimii ani "sejururile" la mare au constat in cate maaaaxim 2 zile de inotat + frecat menta la terasele din Vama/2 Mai ... dar de, are si pustiul dreptul la a-si forma o parere obiectiva , asa ca "m-am sacrificat " ( ;)) ) anul asta si am stat ceva mai mult ...& se pare ca incepe sa ma coafeze si pe mine :))))), dar mai vedem :D

My summer of love

2011-06-27T13:24:00.000+03:00

Daca tot am pomenit in postarea anterioara de colectia de oje Summer of Love de la Urban Decay, atasez aici inca doua mostre de nuante, pe care le-a pozat individul meu weekendul asta. Se numesc Hashbury & Aquarius. Astept BestFest-ul ca sa imi pictez unghiile cu toate cele 7 :D:D:D.

Am avut la un moment dat anul trecut o pofta nebuna de a-mi reinnoi stocul de oje si mi-am luat vreo 15 nuante o data , via Asos. Nu ca as recomanda cumpararea de cosmetice online, s-a intamplat sa primesc si produse expirate (de la Asos), dar erau asa de frumoaaase si colorate si....intelegeti....cand a ajuns pachetul m-am simtit de parca a venit Mos Craciun:))..si de atunci muncesc sa le consum:D...poate o sa incarc aici poze si cu restul achizitiilor :)

p.s. ca sa nu fie doar o coincidenta de titlu, adaug si trailerul de la "My summer of love", unul din filmele mele favorite si cred ca in top 3 al preferintelor personale la categoria coloana sonora (pe langa "The Virgin Suicides" si "The Beach" ) :

sister of the 80's

2011-06-24T14:18:00.001+03:00

Acum ceva timp a trebuit sa-i compun sora-mii o tinuta 80's, in conditiile in care ea, nici macar nascuta fiind atunci, si nici pasionata de acea perioada, evident ca nu detinea vreun obiect vestimentar pliabil pe situatie:D.
Asa ca i-am imprumutat cam tooate componentele, cam dificil de alcatuit ansamblul totusi, avand in vedere ca e o diferenta cam de 3 masuri intre noi: )).

Asa ca ce a iesit e cam in felul urmator:

Tricou: Primark Nickelodeon (cumparat de mine - pentru mine :D - de la copii :D)
Colanti : de la un butic cu chinezarii :)), daca tin minte bine i-am cumparat tot pentru o tinuta de genul asta
Tenisi : Adidas Gazelle
Borseta: chiar din anii 80, de la tata
Ochelari de soare: no name, luati din Paris
+plus o coada impletita sus intr-o parte, nu se vede in poze, cam amestecata fiind cu intunericul :D

Aaa....si piesa de rezistenta....oja, nuanta 'psychedelic sister' de la Urban Decay, din colectia Summer of Love de anul trecut....se potriveste la fix nu? si culoare si denumire...

// shop // Cercei negri rotunzi, metal + plastic, foarte mari - 56 RON

2011-05-09T18:34:00.000+03:00

Cerceii sunt simplu de purtat, din punct de vedere al combinatiilor vestimentare posibile,datorita monocromiei si formei clasice.
Varianta pe care o propun eu ar fi urmatoarea: o rochie gen anii 50, cu imprimeu carouri mari, + o camasa/geaca de blugi intr-o marime vizibil mai mica (poate cumparata chiar de la copiii -sa pice pe corp foarte stramt, iar manecile sa fie mai scurte, punk style ;) ) si pantofi stiletto negri . Foarte inalti , cu varf ascutit :D.

Hmmm...poate revin cu o varianta pozata a outfitului acestuia, acum ca mi-a venit in minte .

Playground...

2011-05-06T19:02:00.001+03:00

...Cam asta imi inspira tinuta asta la o prima vedere, probabil datorita culorilor vii ce o alcatuiesc. E a doua tinuta pe care i-am incropit-o sora-mii cand a fost la mine ultima data.

Outfit:
Tricou: Von Dutch (cadou de la mine,luat de la Hippie Hippie Shake de acum cativa ani)

...This is what this outfit reminds me of, probably because of its bright colours..It's the 2nd outfit I pit together for my sister when she came by last time.

Outfit:

Long live McQueen!!!!

2011-05-05T14:23:00.006+03:00

Tocmai mi-au sosit cele doua perechi de pantofi Alexander McQueen (!!!!!!!) pe care le-am comandat ieri de pe Yoox.

Cei de la Yoox au facut o greseala monumentalaaaaaaa si au listat cateva perechi de pantofi si o fusta Alexander McQueen la 49 € !!!!!!!!!! Ii aveam in wishlist, asa am observat,si m-am frecat literalmente la ochi, ca in desenele animate, ca sa ma asigur ca vad bine. Ca doar mai deunazi le vazusem pretul initial..Nu stiu cine se ocupa de bazele lor de date, dar sper sa mai ramana mult timp acolo si sa mai faca gafe din astea. Adica dumnezeule, 49 € !!!! Nu cred ca i-a trecut vreodata prin cap lui McQueen ca se vor vinde pantofii lui pe asa un mizilic. Ca sa nu mai spun de valoarea adaugata de plecarea lui dintre noi...S-au dat aproape instant, dar mai sunt cateva perechi ramase, dati un search. Postez de abia astazi pentru ca ieri mi-am spus ca nu suflu o vorba pana nu ii am in mana, sa nu cobesc sau ceva:)) Sincer...e ca si cum as fi castigat la loto:)))))). De cand cu pustiul parca nu imi mai vine sa dau sume mari pe imbracaminte, incaltaminte, etc. , decat daca am neaparat nevoie de respectivele articole. Si normal ca imi doream pantofi Alexander McQueen, mai ales dupa ce am aflat ca nu va mai crea vreodata, dar nu aveam nevoie de ei...Inca nu imi vine sa cred...:D:D:D

<p>&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;IN&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;</p>

// in memoriam Alexander McQueen( 17.03.1969 - 11.02.2010) //

English version:
The two pairs of Alexander McQueen shoes that I ordered yesterday from Yoox have just arrived.
The Yoox staff have made a huuuuge mistake and listed a skirt and several pairs of shoes by Alexander McQueen at the insanely low price of 49 €!!!!!! I had them saved in my dreambox, that's how I noticed this. I literally rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing right :))) As I had just seen the original price a couple of days ago... I have no idea who's in charge of their databases , but I pray he/she'll keep working there and cause such mistakes :D. I mean...jeeez...49 €!!!!!! I don't think McQueen ever imagined that his shoes will sell for such change. Let alone the added value created by his permanent departure... They started selling almost instantly, but there still are a few pairs left, just create a filter on the site. I am just posting this today as I didn't want to say anything before I physically held them, for fear I might jinks something...Honestly, it's like having won the lottery :))) . Since the kid came around I felt somewhat reserved when buying expensive stuff, it's only worth it if I really need it...And of course I wanted a pair of Alexander McQueens, especially since he is never to create anything again..but I didn't need them...I still can't believe this...:D

Cold play

2011-05-04T20:05:00.004+03:00

Dupa cum mentionam acum ceva postari, sora-mea a fost "convinsa" sa se supuna exercitiilor mele de stilizare , prin urmare, cand a venit sambata pe la mine, am chinuit-o din nou cu imbracat/dezbracat/pozat/zambit, etc. Doar doua tinute ce-i drept, ca nu a stat prea mult...oare de ce:D?
Aceasta e prima tinuta, care a pornit de la una din multele fuste mostenite de la bunica de care am mai amintit. E o joaca vestimentara in tonuri reci, complementate de mai caldul bronz al cerceilor si al detaliilor de pe vesta.

Outfit:
Fusta (purtata ca rochie): mostenire de la bunica
Vesta : Fishbone via New Yorker - asta e a ei :D:D
Curea: Marc by Marc Jacobs, luata de la un costum de baie pe care l-am achizitionat recent
Cizme: Eden Shoes (din Paris)
Ochelari de soare: Solaris ( tot din Paris)
Cercei: Moschino, vor aparea in magazin :)

//Later edit// English version :

As I mentioned several postings ago, I got my sister to let herself be subject to my styling samplings, so I just had to torture her with another dressing up session when she came over last Saturday. Only for two outfits however, she didn't stay very long...I wonder why :D:D.
This is the first outfit, that started out from one of the grandma skirts that I have mentioned before..It's a play on cold tones, complemented by the warmer bronze hue of the earrings and the details on her jean vest.

Outfit:
Skirt (worn as a dress): handmedown from grandma
Jean Vest : Fishbone via New Yorker - this is actually hers :D:D
Belt: Marc by Marc Jacobs, it came with a swimsuit I recently purchased
Boots: Eden Shoes (from Paris)
Sunnies: Solaris ( also from Paris)
Earrings: Moschino, will be up in the shop soon :)

Park outing with the kid

2011-04-23T22:02:00.003+03:00

Cum de mult n-am mai incarcat pe aici ceva legat de stil personal si avand in vedere ca oricum am luat aparatul la noi ca sa facem un milion de poze pustiului, iata ca am incropit pana la urma si un umil post vestimentar.

Inainte de a merge prin parc am trecut si pe la H&M sa ii luam pustiului o sapca cu AC/DC si un tricou cu Doors de le ochisem cu ceva timp in urma (nu tinem sa-l facem rochist de mic, dar ceva imbold in sensul asta nu are cum strica ;)))) ), si am observat ca , fara intentie, vestimentatia mea era "in tendinte"... pare-se ca e mare slagar albul in primavara asta, caci ferestrele erau intesate de manechine imaculate :)), si cum H&M-ul e permanent replica a ceea ce se intampla pe podiumuri (via vecinii mai indepartati, mai multi si mai asiatici :D), q.e.d... ;))).

Bonus sfat pentru mamici: sa nu porti niciodata o fusta atat de scurta cand trebuie sa fugaresti/ ridici de pe jos un bebe ce se incapataneaza sa sada in mijlocul drumului si sa incurce la mers batraneii iesiti la o gura de parc si biciclistii cu ochii pazind la respectivii batranei...A se vedea pozele din jur, lectie invatata :D

Outfit:
Fusta: Manoush (purtata initial la outfitul secundar de la nunta - poate o sa gasesc o poza , in care nu asortez la el papucii -albi ce-i drept- din dotarea camerei hotelului :D)
Camasa: Howdy (???), "mostenita" de la tata din mult apusele si uitatele vremi cand cantarea vreo 60 kg :D
Jacheta/Geaca: Kenvelo (cumparata prin facultate - n-am mai cumparat nimic de la ei de cand mi-am luat eu o pereche de pantaloni de care eram foarte mandra, si care s-au rupt fix in f**d in toiul unui dans mai alert in club, cam pe la a 2-a purtare...what a night :D)
Curea: C&A
Cizme: aoleeeu....cand m-oi plictisi oare de ele....s-au scalciat saracele de la atata purtat...Cafe Noir
Bijuterii: diverse, colierele cu margele sunt mostenire de la socrela, cerceii tiger-print sunt Kenneth Jay Lane

p.s. Too lazy to translate all the above right now ...will do so on request :))))))))))))

2011-04-17T19:57:00.002+03:00

Vietnamezi sau cambodgieni, nu sunt sigura 100%, dar sunt destul de rari, din ce am sapat eu online si fizic prin buticuri.Cerceii se fixeaza cu suruburi , iar brosa are inchizatoare clasica.

Nu stiu exact de ce am decis sa ma despart de ei, poate are legatura cu expresia trista de pe fetele protagonistilor... Dar, decizia fiind luata, shop away :):):)!

p.s. Sora-mii a inceput sa ii placa sa o imbrac (pentru orice ocazie) si sa modeleze ( pentru blog), asa ca probabil o sa o vedeti din ce in ce mai des pe aici :D

Ce imi place la cerceii acestia este ca ii poti transforma in trei perechi diferite : poti pastra doar partea de sus, pentru a aduga o nota sic tinutei pe care o complementeaza, poti da jos doar perlele - ramanand astfel o pereche de cercei cu aspect tribal stilizat, sau ii poti purta ca atare,fiind piesa ce scoate din anonimat o tinuta cat se poate de casual .

Pe mine m-ati vazut purtandu-i aici, pentru ca de, pentru mine de obicei more is more :D.

2011-02-09T18:34:00.002+02:00

Am purtat o varianta a tinutei asteia vineri seara la o tura de clubareala, minus palaria, se intelege, si l-am pus pe al meu individ sa documenteze tinuta inainte sa plecam, caci si asa nu prea mi-am mai pozat outfiturile in ultimul timp. Nu ca nu ar merita sa fie imortalizate, dar e asa de frig afara.....si in casa nu imi prea place sa pozez :D.

I wore a version of this outfit to a clubbing session on Friday, minus the hat, of course, and had my guy photograph it before we left, since I haven't shot much of my daily get-ups lately.

O combinatie clasica, fara indoiala, dar functioneaza de minune cand vrei sa "reactivezi" o rochie retro fara sa pari ca te-ai costumat pentru o petrecere tematica :).
Rochia din poze e de prin anii 70, mostenire de la matusa-mea, si e lucrata la comanda (probabil chiar de strabunicul meu).Unicat deci...yummy, intotdeauna imi place sa port o rochie pe care stiu ca nu o mai poate purta nimeni :D .

Outfit:
Vesta: Amisu via New Yorker, cadou de la mama
Rochie: mostenire de la matusa mea

Curea si cercei : vor aparea de vanzare la magazin ;)

English version:
No doubt a classic match, but works just great when you want to resuscitate a retro dress without looking too costumey :)
The dress is from the 70's era, a handmedown from my aunt, ans has most likely been sewn by my great-grandfather. A unique piece...I always love having on a dress that I know for sure nobody else can wear.

back from the skiing vacation

2011-01-30T19:46:00.001+02:00

Ne-am intors (cam de o saptamana ce-i drept ) din vacanta la schi, adica mai exact al meu individ si niste prieteni la schi si eu pe langa, cu soarecul la sanius :D. In Bulgaria s-au petrecut activitatile noastre mai mult (el) sau mai putin (eu) sportive , la Bansko mai exact. O pseudo-statiune montana, semi-nou-construita-semi-ramasite-neintretinute-din-"alta"-epoca, la care am ajuns dupa un parcurs peisagistic post apocaliptic. Cam exact la ce te astepti, booking online la 4 stele cu cazare in hotel de aproape 3 stele si mic dejun inclus de 1 stea :D:D:D. Oricum, raport dotari-calitate -pret mai avantajos ca in alte statiuni autohtone.

English text:
We've gotten back (for a week now) from our ski trip, more precisely my guy's and some friends' skiing, and I sledge-riding with the kid thing. Our more (him) or less (me) sportsy activities took place in Bulgaria, Bansko to be exact. A pseudo-mountain-resort, semi-newly-built - semi-unattended to -remembrances of "another"era , in which we drove after a post apocalyptic landscape ride. Pretty much meets your expectations, we booked online for a 4 star package, and actually got an almost 3 star hotel accommodation and a 1 star complimentary breakfast :D. Anyways, all in all more advantageous , equipment, quality and price-wise than other local resorts.

2011-01-04T21:47:00.010+02:00

Cerceii acestia par ca in original sa fi fost turcoaz in intregime , insa cand am facut rost de ei cam asa se prezentau , si sincer cred ca arata mai bine astfel...part old, part new, post blue :)
Pe spate plasticul are ceva zgarieturi, dupa cum se poate vedea in poza de mai jos.

Daca aveti nevoie de dimensiuni exacte trimiteti un mail, eu insa prefer sa adaug imagini pentru a putea fi apreciata marimea mai bine.
Poza asta e facuta in preajma Craciunului,cand l-am dus pe soarec la Mosu' si m-am hotarat sa ii port o ultima oara inainte sa vi-i cedez voua:D.

2010-12-29T09:22:00.014+02:00

Cerceii de genul acestora par sa complementeze cel mai bine o tinuta casual, jeans si tricou de exemplu, si avand in vedere multitudinea de perechi ce sta imprastiata la mine prin diverse cutii si cutiute, m-am gandit sa mai impart din ele si pe la voi:D.

Observati in poza din stanga , unde se imbina cele doua parti ale cercelului, o mica innegritura. Pare sa se curete, dar am evidentiat-o oricum. In rest, cerceii se simt excelent.

Restul tinutei:
Tricou: Nissa, folosit initial pentru outfitul secundar de la nunta.
Pantaloni: DaDa
Vesta: Dulapul Bunicii
Cizme: Charlotte Ronson
Bratari : H&M (din China) si vintage ( de la mama soacra:D)

// shop // Fusta dreapta din stofa - 40 RON

2010-12-20T21:03:00.016+02:00

Propun doua tinute pornind de la aceasta fusta, pentru a-i demonstra versatilitatea in ciuda formei si a dimensiunii imprimeului , care ar putea-o face sa para mai "aspra" .

Prima tinuta este extrem de feminina , dar poate fi totusi cu lejeritate incadrata in cadrul vestimentatiei business.

A doua este ceva mai casual , eu sincer mi-as plimba cainele in ea ( daca as avea caine si daca acesta nu ar fi de talie prea mare...ceea ce nu este prea probabil, deci nu o voi purta niciodata in contextul asta :)) ) --parca se asorteaza asa cu un pudel :))))))

Detalii importante:
Producator : necunoscut
Marime pe eticheta: 38
Marime apreciata de mine: ar fi cam un 34-36 FR (38-40 IT) pentru zilele noastre, talia are 64 cm , iar masura la sold este de max 90 cm.
Material: nu se mai distinge pe eticheta, dar pare o combinatie de lana si acril, in proportii egale
Material captuseala : 100% acetat
Conditie : excelenta , fusta nu prezinta defecte nici pe stofa, nici pe captuseala. Eticheta cred ca este singura care tradeaza faptul ca fusta a fost intr-adevar purtata.

Restul outfitului #1:
Top: maieu crosetat, primit de mult de la mama
Jacheta : Zara Basics
Pantofi: Nicole Brundage
Bratara : vintage
Coronita: Meli Melo
Colier: Irina Schrotter

Restul outfitului #2 :
Top: PNK Casual
Cizme: Charlotte Ronson
Coronita: Meli Melo
Coliere: cel cu medalion turcoaz cadou de la mama, celalalt mai vechi -din liceu
Bratara : cadou de la sora-mea

// shop // Fusta Laird Portch of Scotland - 60 RON

2010-12-20T17:40:00.013+02:00

Fusta asta exista prin garderoba familiei de ceva timp, dar nu s-a intrebat nimeni pana acum cine sunt acesti producatori Laird Portch of Scotland. Ei bine, cu toata curiozitatea curenta si toate resursele tatei Google , nu am aflat prea multe .
Pe un forum al purtatorilor de kilt ( da, se pare ca exista asa ceva :D:D) am citit urmatoarele : " Yes, I have heard of Laird-Porch of Scotland. The brand name is or was associated with good quality ladies woollen jumpers and skirts but I've never heard of them producing clothes for men and I don't know whether the brand is still in production."
Si am mai gasit un site care vinde stofa facuta de ei si cam atat relevant... Oricum, chestiunea cu forumul purtatorilor de kilt a meritat efortul :))).Mi-am facut pana si cont pe forumul respectiv , asa, de fun fun fun:D.

Acuma, eu am incercat sa creez un outfit asa mai tineresc pentru aceasta fusta, cu o clara trimitere catre anii 50, Grease, etc., ca sa va arat ca nu este atat de batraneasca pe cat pare pe umeras, dimpotriva. Lasa loc de foarte multa constructie in jur. Asa ca daca doreste careva, mai pot posta variante de tinute pornind de la fusta asta. Cand vine sora-mea pe la mine ca sa le modeleze, pentru ca "taliuta mea" nu prea se potriveste taliei fustei ;))

Detalii importante:
Producator : Laird Portch of Scotland
Marime pe eticheta: 38N FR , 42 IT,38 DE, 38 ES, 38 SU, 61 cm respectiv 24" in talie
Marime apreciata de mine: ar fi cam un 34 FR (38 IT) pentru zilele noastre, talia poate ajunge la 63 cm , iar masura la sold este de max 90 cm.
Material: stofa 100% lana virgina
Material captuseala : 100% acetat (asa pare cel putin, ca nu scrie pe nicaieri:) )
Conditie : excelenta , fusta nu prezinta defecte nici pe stofa, nici pe captuseala. A fost purtata cu drag si speram ca asa va fi si de acum incolo.

Restul outfitului:
Top : maieu cu "impresii" de corset, cadou de la mama.
Camasa: vintage Bernhard Altmann (actualmente din anii 50 )
Pantofi: Musette
Geanta : Atmosphere
Sosete : no name, de pe la un outlet
Ochelari de soare : Piazza Italia ( cadou de la al meu sot)
Chestiile din par: clamele mele de la nunta, de la Meli Melo

wedding outfit shots

2010-11-21T21:55:00.018+02:00

Yeeeeeess.....the long overdue wedding pictures finally get uploaded to the blog, just in case there is anybody left that checks it out:)).

No excuses this time for the lack in posting, "it is what it is", as Darryl Philbin would say * ;) .
I did decide there will be some changes though, besides the bigger commitment to diary-ing : first of all, from the next entry on I will be writing in Romanian, and of course also provide an English translation. And the layout will probably keep changing on the course of the following weeks, til I make up my mind on what I prefer :D. That's it as far as the technicalities go.

More exciting than that, I am planning to add a shopping section just in time for the winter holidays , which will contain all items I have heavy-heartedly decided to let go ...an action that needed to be done eventually, and has partially been completed by donating some of the stuff to charity. But the real goodies will be presented here before you, should you find anything to your liking :D. I have tons of clothes I bought ( new and SH) that I never got to wearing, but most of all I have lots of garments, accessories & all plundered from my mum, aunt, grandma, etc, which do not all fit me but I figured they will be better off resting in my closet than in theirs. And now I think that they should rest in a closet that they will break out of at least from time to time :D. So, I will style the pieces and hope you will fancy them enough to take them in ;);).

Now back to the wedding shots, they all have been taken by this lovely photog rapher , a bit pricy but totally worth the extra cash. Of course I am posting them here at a lower resolution , but if you want original samples to check out what he can do with his cameras just email me and I'll be happy to provide them for you.

That's it for now, enjoy the (many :D) photos ( mainly of me not because of ego-centrism ;)), just because I thought most of the people would not want to have their image loose on the net :D)

Wedding outfit:
Dress: Tadashi Shoji
Shoes: Givenchy
Necklace: Nissa
Ring & earrings (and a necklace not displayed he
re) : Agnes Toma - a present from mum -- I lost one of the earrings during the photo shoot, so I had to change those for the actual ceremony with some simpler glass-pearl ones.

p.s. In case you are wondering, the bouquet / wedding candles as well as the christianing candle have been executed by Floraria Iris,and a big hat's off goes to them . We just wanted something simple and elegant, no bushes on a stick, and they did just that.

p.p.s This was our cake topper , a printed image of us 3 wearing the same t-shirt:D

* one of the things that kept me away from posting was watching all of The Office seasons ...cheer4Dwight to take over the world :D:D

last night @ sonisphere fest

2010-06-28T14:21:00.002+03:00

...plus others, but these were the shows I really went for :D . excuse the crappy quality/sound of the vids, it's what has been posted online so far :D:D

casual(tie)s

2010-06-13T16:51:00.010+03:00

since I'm not going out that much lately, having to look after the kid and all, my outfits have become more and more casual, comfy ,etc...buuuut, I am trying to keep to my fashion-oriented mind still. let me know if I manage;)

the tee featured here has been bought along with another one ( the See by Chloe' metal cat tee, if you know it, which I wore to the AC/DC gig last month), from a designer outlet on Calea Victoriei , called Posh Market --they have quite a good item selection, featuring Romanian designers as well

Composition:
Tee: See by Chloe'
Jeans :See by Chloe'
Vest : Polo Garage
Wedges: Miu Miu
Clutch : french Connection
Necklace & earrings: a gift from a former coworker

This is the outfit I submitted for theGlamourai's Polkadotrama costume challenge. I didn't win the big prize though :D:D,you can check out the winner here (I voted for her too :D:D) . However , Kelly did like this outfit and rewarded it with a 15% off discount on her shop, as she probably rewarded many other entries...you can see the finalists here, it was really difficult picking only one to vote for.

Vest: Blue Steel

2010-05-14T22:38:00.009+03:00

My sister has entered an outfit competition on the same site that I won the Diana Bobar dress from (which reminds me...I yet have to shoot that dress and display it here on the blog-- I kind of did not fit into it, big-bellied and all--and I still have to send Diana the photos I take wearing it :D).
The competition has a very easily approachable theme: 'a day in the park'. If you like her outfit, you can cast your vote for her here.
Leaving aside the fact that she's my sis, objectively speaking I really think that hers is the best outfit of all the contestants :D:D. Check them out and let me know if yo agree;) :P.

She's wearing:
Black top: random
Checkered shirt: Stefanel
Skirt: Desigual (from Madrid)
Boots: Lee Cooper

Grey & Gold

2010-05-08T20:09:00.010+03:00

I always considered this colour combo to be somewhat on the classy side, so I tried creating a youthful attire, by using the golden studs and the traditional pieces in this outfit (plus the ultra-non-classy jeans :D).

Composition:
Shirt: traditional, almost 40 years old, handmedown from my aunt
Vest: Strass Exclusive Brand(from Paris)- introduced here, also styled here and here
Jeans: H&M
Wedges: Miu Miu (from eBay)--my new favourite shoes:D
Bag: traditional
Sunnies: Solaris (from Paris)

This dress is a handmedown from grandma, and though my taste in fashion has evolved throughout the years, it is the one item in her wardrobe I've always fancied, ever since I was a kid. I guess it's because of the print. And the colours.
I have stacks of grandma skirts and dresses in my wardrobe,as exemplified here, here and here, and most of them need alterations, since they are too big for me. The same goes for this dress, but I've been putting this huge project on hold for various reasons, which turned out to be quite favourable. The size of this dress ended up being just right for my pregnant belly, and I've worn it a lot during this period. I'm glad I managed to shoot it eventually, it was my final blog-worthy outfit before giving birth (well, except for the one I wore when rushing to the hospital, but that doesn't count, it was something similar to this one , so it's already been posted :) ).

Composition:
Dress: handmedown from grandma
Cardigan: See by Chloe'
Boots: Hush Puppies
Earrings: made by me
Bangles: from a local boutique ( I have them in sooo many colours :D )
Sunnies: Solaris (from Paris)

And the sky was made of amethyst...

Oversized cardi: no label, it looks like handmade , also handmedowm from mum
Scarf: Zara (from Ra'anana, Israel)
Sunnies: Solaris (from Paris)
Boots: Cafe Noir
Bag: from a Mini Prix store
Vest: Polo Garage
Earrings: gift from one of my bffs

finally I managed to take some quick outfit shots, it's been really hectic lately, both @ home and @ work...we're repainting/redecorating one of our rooms, preparing for the kid, leaving everything figured out at work before the loooong maternity leave, etc...

asia on my mind

2010-01-26T13:35:00.005+02:00

I was sorting my photos of note and I just found this most inspiring image ever , that I cannot believe I had forgotten of... I love everything about this outfit, the colours, starting with the bright red lashes, the prints (notice how the horizontal stripes on the stockings are re-interpreted on the dress, and how the polka dots on the dress match the ones on the veil) , the textures, the kitschy rhinestones on the purse, ...you get it :D:D ...the perfect mix and match

p.s. do you think that I can still wear similar ensembles now that I'm almost a mum :D? I say hell yeah !!! ...I can hardly wait for my first PTA meeting :)))))

p.p.s I don't remember where I came across this image, if you happen to have a clue please drop a comment, so I can credit it properly :)

ze Picker

2010-01-19T21:13:00.008+02:00

I found these items on ze Picker , a rather new site that updates daily with posts on the coolest internet finds. What I like about this particular selection is that they were posted consecutively, and you can actually make up a full outfit out of them :D. Funny coincidence ;)).Keep your eye on it, I see it has a lot of potential.

p.s. one more non-fashion-related pick , that I found interesting: Le Cool city guide

showing off

2010-01-18T17:19:00.009+02:00

..my huge belly :D ...I have to admit I survived more than 2 thirds of the pregnancy without buying anything new (except for a pair of boots, but that doesn't count ;)) ) , I think that's truly an accomplishment :)))) . I did have a raid in my mum's closet however, and stole some stuff, but I'll return those once I'm no longer in need of loose-fitting items :D.

So....hooray for me and my wallet/bank account :)))!!!!

Composition:
Dress: H&M (from Paris)
Tank: random black tank
Cardigan: Akasi
Wellies:Burberry
Necklace: made by me
Purse: Nine West

snow recovery

2010-01-18T16:57:00.010+02:00

Considering that lately I've been getting around to wear either hiking boots or wellies (rigid snow vs. melted snow :D), I took advantage of the warm weather last week to dress a little more photo-worthy. Plus it was my first week@work after the winter vacation, so there you have it..

Composition:
Dress: no tag, bought in New York (it was my favourite dress for a long while, and still is in my top 10 )
Vest : Strass Exclusive Brand (from Paris)
Blouse: random white cotton blouse
Wellies: Burberry
Jewelry: bracelet -a gift from my sister , cross pendant necklace-I've had for >10 years, round pendant necklace- a gift from mum

hmm...it seems I can't properly load images just now...Google does have a slow recovery :D:D

[later edit] yeeey...I beat the system :))

A detail shot of the bracelet, I love it:

first of all

2010-01-18T16:15:00.003+02:00

...a happy New Year to everybody !!!

...and an enchantment for the music-lovers (my most recent obsession:D ):

royal fuchsia #2

2009-12-12T20:22:00.009+02:00

A sequel to the previous outfit, this is what I actually ended up sporting out at work the other day (the main reason being that the fishnets are not entirely cold-proof ;)) )
I think that this dress is the perfect pregnancy item, covering the modified waist and making you stand out of the crowd.Judging by the looks I got while wearing it, I would almost say big bellies hidden under baggy clothes are sexy :)))))))

Composition:
Dress : American Retro
Boots: Cafe Noir
Beanie: made by me for my bf, but I figured I deserve at least one wear for knitting it :D:D
Necklaces: made by me

Also, here is a detail shot of a vintage ring I got from an antiquities shop in Brasov; it has half funny/half grotesque monkey-resembling faces supporting the stone:

royal fuchsia #1

2009-12-12T19:46:00.012+02:00

the real colour of this sweater-dress is the one from the last image, but my bf (or should I say husband :D:D) was fooling around with the lights, hence the various shades.

Composition:
Dress : American Retro
Vest: Blue Steel from DulapulBunicii
Boots: Cafe Noir
Head bow: Alice&Sara from DulapulBunicii
Earrings: vintage, from my bf's mum ; they were screw-backs initially, but I turned them into clip-ons, they hang much nicer on the earlobe like this
Necklace: from an improvised antiquity market in front of St.Denis Basilica , in Paris

Here is a close up of the earrings, a perfect 80's reminder :

too much blue can never kill you

2 necklaces i cropped up tonight...I still have to perform some cosmetic adjustments on them, so just a teaser 4 now :D:D

the dragon pendant is from a co-worker of mine, and the Egyptian hippo & scarabs are from the Louvre giftshop (the hippo was originally a key chain, and the scarabs..well I don't know what they were but I pierced them into beads :D)

2009-11-26T22:28:00.007+02:00

I don't remember the last time I've been so exited about something I bought...:

1. This huge pink bow from Dulapul Bunicii , which is resting for the moment on my bf's plush Cartman puppet :D:D (you should really see this image :P) , until I incorporate it in a smart outfit .

2. The colourful vintage shirt/summer jacket, which I just ordered 10 minutes ago . I can't wait for its arrival :D:D, my heart just started calming down...

What do you think about these ?

chicks and checks

2009-11-22T22:15:00.008+02:00

don't you just love this cardi? I fell in love with it the minute I saw it, at a local sort of a thrift store... it just seems to go with everything... it had some additional white ribbons and rhinestones around the neck , but I removed them , as I considered the glossy buttons to be enough of a glam element. I put the ribbon to a better use :D:D

boyfriend hat

2009-11-22T21:29:00.008+02:00

this outfit has been constructed around this hat that my bf got in Budapest a while ago, in terms of colour that is . the arm is that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; he also has one of the communist party, but that is too much a socio-political statement for this blog :D.plus it's not that shiny:)))))

Skirt: Stefanel
Tank: Ruby Sky

everybody's been assuring us that we'll be hip parents (//blush), so I have to also live up to these expectations fashion-wise :D, but it's up to you to decide on whether I pull this off graciously or not;) . the process is significantly encumbered by the fact that pregnancy clothing shops in Bucharest (and obviously Romania) are quite defective of statement items. all I could find is clothing for +50 , lacking imagination expecting housewives . I don't want anybody who has actually bought such items to feel offended in any way, it's excusable since there's barely anything to choose from . I just won't spend a dime on any of these products. furthermore, maternity clothing here is way more expensive than the online counterpart. hence, i decided to make do with what I already own ( I'm lucky that I have a lot of loose fitting garments) , and make whatever more I need myself...there's something ongoing in this direction, but I will reveal it once it is ready :D.

I'm following up on this post with several outfit versions; I was forced to rummage my wardrobe since the baby is quite expansive :D:D, and doesn't really agree to part of my clothes' sizes :D:D:D. I have so many items I'm going to miss till next year, but I did rediscover some forgotten ones....oh, well, that's that :D

Composition:
Jean shirt: Vila Denim Engineered (picked up years ago from a Mini Prix store)
Sheer cardigan: Stefanel
Tights: H&M (from mum)
Boots: Burberry
Scarf: random

Just For Now

2009-09-11T15:27:00.010+03:00

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violins
just run with me through rows of speeding cars.
The papercuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now, now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

Sleeping pills know sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this...
now's a bad a time as any

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

it's ok by me..
it's ok by me..it was a long time ago

strait sweater

2009-09-08T16:03:00.006+03:00

It's been raining for a couple of days now around here, and I feel so reinvigorated....I was so sick and tired of the sunny weather , I do not like summer at all...so huraaaaaaay for the newly established autumn :D:D:D:D. Temperature-wise, 'Wake me up when September ends' is no doubt the tune for me :)).

This revival is also visible within my wardrobe...I can finally play serious dressing-up again :))), just you wait an see:))). Today I opted for this beautiful silvery grey sweater I bought in Tel-Aviv, it was love at first site due to its resemblance to a strait jacket :D.

Composition:
Dress: H&M (from Paris)
Basic black tee
Sweater: Sack's (from Tel-Aviv)
Earrings: gift from my sis (from Madrid)
Boots: Burberry

beloved desigual

2009-09-08T14:34:00.006+03:00

I have not mentioned this before, but Desigual is one of my all-time prefferences when it comes to print madness. Well, them and Manish Arora, but I can't afford them (yet:D:D) .

Sometime about 6 or 7 years ago, they opened up a tiny shop on the Academiei street, and that's when I fell in love with them. That's also when I spent an entire college scholarship on a t-shirt (~ today's 35E) , quite a whole lot for my early student years, and for the regular t-shirt prices back then. But it was and it remains my favourite tee to this day. You can see it her e, the huge screaming face in the last image :D.
Unfortunately, probably because of customers penury, this tiny darling shop closed about 1 year later (or maybe half a year, I don't remember precisely), just about when I had managed to scrape up the money to buy another tee ( :(((((( ) .Literally.It was Friday that I decided to buy it, but didn't have enough dough ( ;)) ); Monday by the time I got the money (that mum was sending weekly for food and all:D), and exactly on that Monday they closed the shop. I remember as if it were yesterday, that's how traumatized I was:)))) (and partially still am :)) ) . I have kept their catalogue and I can scan it to show you what I missed...***

Coming back to nowadays, my folks returned from their Madrid vacation, and guess what they brought me? One piece Desigual dress + one piece Desigual t-shirt ...I couldn't believe it, as they didn't know that I liked them so much. I mean they know my clothes, but they couldn't care less about who made them (which to a certain extent is better, they would probably be mortified by how much I spend on unnecessary garments :D ), so.....Anyways, my sis told me my mum was just as smitten when she entered one of their Madrid stores as I was when I stepped into our ex-local one, hence..tadaaaaaaa:D:D:D Me=happy happy :D:D. She also bought a dress and a skirt for my sister, which I will post when I get her to photoshoot for me :D.

I ♥ this kimono-inspired dress , as it is like wearing layers and layers of clothes due to its various prints... ♥ ♥

Composition:
Dress: Desigual
Boots: Hush Puppies
Bag: PSS (from New Jersey)
Vest : New Yorker
Earrings: a gift from my sister (from Madrid)

*** [Later Edit] I found an image of the tee that skipped my hands. here it is...(sigh...)

BTW, if anyone knows any (online) store that retails previous collections' Desigual products, please let me know :D:D.

serbian musical friday

2009-08-28T12:13:00.002+03:00

as promised here, this is the second edition of the neighbourhoodly musical fridays, featuring 2 serbian classics:

Bajaga i Instruktori, are a highly popular rock band from Serbia. The group was founded in Belgrade in 1984 by composer, lyricist and guitarist Momčilo Bajagić Bajaga, and continue to record music today. The group possesses a rich discography and a plethora of hit songs that place them at the very top of the all-time former Yugoslav rock scene. *

As for the second video , I am sure neither the frontman nor the song needs further introduction:D. Enjoy:):).

*excerpt from our heavenly e-god, wikipedia that is:D:D:D.

new StyleSampleMagazine issue

2009-08-27T14:24:00.004+03:00

well...not that new , but since I've been late with everything lately, here goes :)))

Style Sample is a magazine dealing with online fashion blogging , therefore you can find some more blogs to follow-up, tips&tricks, pieces of advice, opinions, inspiration, and....yours truly :)))..I am featured in the 'Blogs to Watch' section (thanks Tamia :D:D)

Open publication - Free publishing - More style

p.s. I only have a small note to make...my answer to the last question , which was 'Probably this is what I like the most about blogging...the possibility to coincide with people you would never meet otherwise...' got edited into 'This is what I like the most about blogging...the possibility to communicate with people you would never meet otherwise...' Less poetical, but nevertheless, a similar idea.

randomizing my vacation part1

2009-08-06T20:20:00.011+03:00

as you might have understood from the previous post, eventhough Paris has not been a daily joy, it was captivating, thrilling, sometimes demotivating but always epic ... so, to say nothing further for now, I will let images speak..I appear in most of them (~blushing~ -- yet this is not really my fault/ego/etc, my bf really likes to take pictures of me:P), and since it's a personal style blog , they fit the profile ( :D ), but some more can be viewed here .most of them are taken by my bf, but I squeezed some of mine in :):).

The top image was taken in the gardens of the Royal Palace, where we stopped for a bit of shade in our last day in Paris....

the left one is taken somewhere near Champs Elysees, we found this huge skull while trying to find our way avoiding the Tour-de-France all-over-the-place-fences, and I couldn't resist having my pic taken with it, since I'm a sucker for skulls (given my metal-music up-growth and all:D )

the right one is taken in the courtyard of St. Marie Magdalene's church (La Madeleine) , a church which I found to my liking eventhough I am not a religious person at all. i usually visit churches for a pure educational/aesthetic scope, to analyze its architecture & history, but this one really speaks out inovatively about its view of faith vs. religion...in an artistic way.. it houses beautiful contemporary art exhibitions, inside , outside, and bellow , really interesting pieces, which may disagree with the 'old-school' christians' opinions , but are definitely a means to turn visitors into followers... my favourite item was the human-fish, a gigantic sculpture in a 'double- edition' , one inside the church and one outside...what better a symbol for christianity...?

Wearing :
Shirt: almost as old as me:D
Random light blue tank
Jeans: See by Chloe (from the sale batch mentioned here)
Bag: GAP (from Paris)
Boots: Formenterra
Sunglasses: from a souvenir shop near Centre Pompidou
Earrings: from my bf

back from vacation....yeeeyy

2009-08-03T11:20:00.005+03:00

...I've been back from my vacation for a week now, but since probably some of you ( I think) may want to read comments,opinions and all, I thought I'd just let everything sink in for a while longer :).

so...I'll start with the conclusion:D , which is that Paris is definitely a city you can't be indifferent to. what you hate about it, you hate from all your guts, and what you love about it, you do just as much...
I thought about making a list with ups and downs of Paris, but I changed my mind , since the expectations, impressions, perceptions are purely subjective, and I don't want to push anybody away from visiting Paris, cause it is really worth seeing (duuuh :)) ).

but my bottom line is that I was really disappointed with it ( and I will have to apologize in advance for any Parisian who happens to read my blog... although, on second thought,I don't really have a reason to do so, I'm just calling it as I saw it ) ; I would have expected that living in such a city, where you can serve art for breakfast and history for drinks , people would be more educated, less rude, etc...well? guess what....it was a reaaaaaaaaaally far-fetched assumption... starting with little things, like the locals not knowing that the ashtray in front of them is not purposeless , to the overall dirt , filth and infectious smell of the city....sorry guys, but this is how it is... the fact is that I have been told by many people that Paris is not what one would expect, but my power of denial worked like a charm until seeing it with my own eyes....

however, I don't wanna be a hypocrite and claim that this is all there is to Paris...not by far...I mean the amount of culture you ingurgitate here , the feast of eyes and enlightenment of mind Paris has to offer is probably unrivaled. and it did wash away the bitter taste of the other aspects, but I can honestly say I will never return to this city.

p.s. follow-ups of this post are about to come,outfit photos & all :D

hungarian musical Friday

2009-07-10T15:27:00.006+03:00

Between the RATM-ish & the hypnotic music samples from today, I just want to let you know that I am happy happy happy:D:D:D:D:D:D....I am leaving for Paris in less than 2 days :D:D:D...plus I got a batch of sale designer goodies (which I will follow up on with some outfit posts) ...plus I just received this huge set of bangles I ordered from ShoesAndYourMom a while ago...they actually are a lot more than seen in the pic ( I counted them...50 bangles, the thin ones compose 8 different sets :D...for a mere 10$;pretty good deal, right?)....

so....hurray for me :)))) :P

Back to today's entry, I decided to make at least one post a month on our neighbours' music . And I am starting out with Hungary, since these bands are amongst my personal favourites anyways.

I can tell you about Subscribe that they are a very lively bunch, we've had a night out in Fire club some 2 years ago here in Bucharest, many Jägermeisters and all...the best time ( I think I still owe them some shots, or the other way around :)) ) , plus they are great in their live performances , so if you're into hardcore & stuff they're definitely worth your while. They also have a side project , called the Guilty Parties , a tribute to Rage Against The Machine , which they were supposed to end when/if RATM would ever re-unite, but I don't think they expected that RATM actually do so:D.

As for Colorstar, I do not have extremely relevant information to share with you for the moment, but I think their music speaks for itself (also emphasized by the fact that there is no actual video for this tune:D:D:D).

The next post will be on some Serbian classics, but I will not divulge the bands until the due time :D:D

may I have your vote, please :D?

2009-07-06T11:50:00.005+03:00

I just entered this contest on an online Romanian youth magazine (well, I'm not that young, but I like the prize ;)) ), where you have to pick a random 'VIP' outfit and describe why you like/resent it. The winner gets a beautiful Diana Bobar Design dress , at choice out of 6 models. The one I fancy can be viewed here .
So I am asking for your vote in helping me win it :D:D, and since the 'article' is in Romanian, I will translate it here for the foreign visitors:).

I chose the outfit Rihanna sported at "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" opening gala, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, for one reason only: I did not like it whatsoever.
(Well, and honestly, for the fact that it seems more difficult to argumentatively criticize rather than praise something).
And here is the translation:

"I will decompose this outfit into 3 main parts,individual not necessarily by style, but rather by how they (de)form Rihanna' s silhouette.

1.The Shoes + Cropped Pants , taken separately , probably represent the only section of this garment that has been somewhat favourably thought out: the length of the pants together with the cut of the shoe elongate her legs and add a femininity tint to the ensemble.

2. The Jacket + Bow Tie ...now here's where the visual disaster starts happening : the miss seems to have lost her head amongst the over-dimensioned shoulders, the only thing actually keeping her head on her shoulders being her similarly dimensioned..hair-do.

3. The Gloves: hidden by the jacket's sleeves, this biker-style accessory loses any aesthetic attribute within this costume;it is neither emphasized by any other component of this garment, neither does it enhance it's general aspect in any way. It does nothing but create confusion around the sleeves: where does the jacket end/where do the gloves start?

Probably Rihanna tried to point her costume to the 80's, using the immense shoulders,the tom-boy hair,the short leather gloves,and the over-all 'shiny' aspect of the outfit....but what this shape turned out to be seems rather similar to an undefined clothing object hanging out to dry by its shoulders, with visibly shrunken pants.

It is obvious that the jacket was supposed to be the key element , but unfortunately its exquisite cut is lost in the all-black 'colourfullness' of this garment. I for one would leave the bow-tie & white shirt aside, add a white t-shirt instead, with the cleavage going no further down than a palm bellow the neckline, and some light coloured skinny acid-wash jeans (anything but white- maybe even a dust-pink hue) ; I would keep the shoes & the gloves (!!!-what can I do? I like them ...), but I would roll up the sleeves of the jacket to solve the dilemma at no.3 ...and I would also keep the hair-do... all in all I think it would look much more laid-back and 'fashion-forward'."

Soooo...if you like it or agree with my opinion on this, you can place a vote here. Although it is stated otherwise in the contest's page, you do not have to be logged in to vote, so....wish me luck:D:D:, and thank you very much in advance :D:D.

The Red... it filters through

2009-07-04T20:18:00.012+03:00

(pour les connaisseurs ;) ...for the others, it's Chevelle.. :D )

This post is dedicated to my sister, who made my earrings , and also gave me the tank I am wearing :D. I always like to pair these items, part because of the colour combo and part for the fact that both have animals on them (punky-haired sheep on the earrings + penguins on- the -top ).

Composition:
Tank: from my sis
Earrings:made by my sis
Shirt: Polo Garage (on loan from bf)
Pants: Dadamoda
Shoes: Musette
Other jewelry: my beloved Swatch+ some random silver chain tied around the wrist
Sunglasses: Piazza Italia (gift from bf)

To not let you wait too long till I sort out my wardrobe, I am posting one of this week's outfits, which my colleagues at work really enjoyed :D. Again, with my vest from Dulapul Bunicii, which has become my momentary fetish. It just improves any outfit it is added to...and it's getting toooooo warm to keep wearing it ...sigh...

BACK

2009-07-04T17:16:00.004+03:00

I know, I know ...I've not been around lately :D, and I do not want to excuse myself, buuuuuuuuuuuut...I did take some time off to catch up with my reading, documenting, etc - so I've not had anything to do with fashion lately except for picking out my daily outfits :).
Plus ...I am in the middle of a closet re-shaping & organizing , as I have to pick out my garments for the coming Paris vacation....which gets me to the news... I am leaving for Paris in 1 week ...YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I will make up for the lack of posting since, while I am at browsing through my wardrobe, I want to experiment some new combinations...not necessarily summery, but the weather in Paris can be really whimsical, I am told :D. So stay tuned:D.

pfff....still raining

2009-06-28T20:50:00.011+03:00

I've not been in the mood for taking pictures lately, since it keeps raining almost everyday and I do not really fancy indoor photos (of me, that is:) ). But since I've not posted in a while, and also to boost up my mood a bit, I decided to go against the weather,and photograph what will hopefully be tomorrow's outfit (if it stops pouring:D) ; so this is what came out...

Off to my white beer , unhealthy chips & silly 'I , Legend' movie ;))))

Composition:
Dress: handmedown from my aunt (it has undergone several shape modifications since it came into my possession , but I like this best)
Jeans: the tag says WOOX (???), I've had them for over 8 years
Shawl: Zara (from Ra'anana, Israel)
Belt: vintage, from dad
Bangles:part from bf's mum, part from a local store, part from H&M (came in a set with the earrings, from Shanghai)
Sandals:Stefanel

p.s. ...so...if you even noticed... the white thingies in my hair...that's not dandruff, that's raindrops :)))))

buttoned and kicking

2009-06-24T12:55:00.011+03:00

On a lighter and more playful note (as opposed to yesterday's post :D) , I am inserting here yesterday's outfit. It was quite chilly in the morning, so I dressed accordingly...what a mistake that turned out to be :))

Composition:
Tee: from a boutique in New York
Skirt: Fornarina
Boots: Hush Puppies
Bag : Elega (from Bata ,in Bratislava)
Earrings: from bf

p.s. I'm going to have a haircut in about half an hour...wish me luck :)))

[Later Edit]well...I had my hair cut...and let me just say one thing, for the Bucharest readers...NEVER GO TO BLONDI, it's a waste of time and money...but mostly of time.
