prints & leather

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
Cizme: Sepala by Mihaela Glavan
Inel: unicat, cumparat de la un magazin al UAP
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.

Composition:
Vest: Amisu via New Yorker, a gift from mum
Dress: handmedown from my aunt
Boots: Sepala by Mihaela Glavan
Ring: one of a kind piece, bought from a local Artists' Union shop
Belt & Earrings : to be up in the shop

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...

please excuse the crappy photos (I really don't look this sick:))) ), they are taken with a small video cam in the unhealthy neon light from work, so...:D:D

















Composition:
Dress: Marius Musat
Cardigan: See by Chloe'
Boots: Burberry
Earrings: Debenhams, gift from my bf (I can't get around to calling him 'husband' just yet :)) )
Einstein toy: snatched from a coworker for this shoot:D















And speaking of Einstein, Ari Seth Cohen from Advanced Style ( one of my top 5 fashion-related blogs to watch) just posted today about this Einstein looking man one of his collaborators photographed:
I love this simple yet exquisite color combo...

iced earth, coal chamber & green day

Against title-related expectations, this is not a post on my favourite bands (although the mentioned names do fit in), but on my current shoe desires :D.

I don't know how this comes around, but it ever so happens that I find myself craving for boots in the middle of the summer. Aware of my heat-fobia , my neurons probably plot into getting my feet to a way freezier zone.

So, in search of flip-flops I ended up stumbling upon 2 very very wintery items :D:D.

The left one is of course designed by Ann Demeulemeester, one of my all time favourites. And I am determined to buy at least one of her creations this year, as I've never really afforded one. Well....sacrifices are in order, as this pair retails for a mere E915 ...!!! (and yes, I am aware that their colour is not actually Iced Earth,quite the contrary actually, but it was the first earth-band that popped into my mind ).
And speaking of Ann D., i did find a more heat-wave-dedicated shoe, but I will probably return to thinking if acquiring it somewhere in November :D :

I've not yet decided why I like the second pair of boots I found (Evado) ; it may be the colour, the side fringes, the cutout back, but it's definitely not the all-togetherness of them that appealed to me.I think I'll figure it out later, for the moment they are in my top 3 wishlist .
