little red riding hat

 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.

Outfit:
Rochie: Nissa
Palarie: Nissa
Cizme: Sepala by Mihaela Glavan



























English version:
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. Not they they are not photo-worthy, but it's really really cold outside....and I do not care much for the indoor outfit photos.



Outfit:
Dress: Nissa
Hat: Nissa
Boots: Sepala by Mihaela Glavan

 p.s. here's a closeup of the boots, which I absolutely adore :D (images via Sepala )

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

Geometrics

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:

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

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...

Grandma Skirt

This will be just a short outfit post, displaying a skirt I got from grandma & which I am using as a dress. It is a tad too long to wear as it is, but it is really beautiful and I do not want to shorten any of it. I promised my sister I will turn it into a tulip skirt for her, so I have to keep it's length for now. So until this skirt will shape-shift, this is how I am planning to wear it (of course we have the jean vest again- let me know when you all get bored of seeing it over and over again and maybe...just maybe I'll let it breathe for a while :D).

Composition:
Dress: skirt from grandma
Vest: New Yorker
Necklace: Irina Schrotter
Earrings: a gift
Sandals: Stefanel
Hobo Bag: from Payless Shoe Source, New Jersey (if I remember correctly)
Belt: C&A


p.s. I know I promised to incorporate bags in the outfit posts, and to display part of my collection, so I am marking down the second one I am showing...there are sooo many to come :D

Prom Dress & YSL

Well, don't get all enthusiastic on me now...I'm not wearing any YSL, although wouldn't that be grand:D, I'm just holding an image of him:D.

We (me & bf) went to this YSL-thematic exhibition yesterday, hosting costumes, sketches, postcards and well...that's about it. Kind of disappointing, I was expecting quite a larger display of items, but hey, it's the closest I've gotten to one of YSL's gowns so far:D.
Unfortunately, since the guards at the MNAR (i.e. our Romanian National Museum of Art) figured that the warmth and intensity of our look could cause serious damage to the displayed costumes (sharp mind, guys!), we could not take a look at the bacK of the gowns, as you were not allowed to get close to them :(:(. It would have been nice to have a tete-a-tete with YSL's craft....sigh...




It was supposed to be centered on the traditional romanian piece that inspired YSL 'la blouse roumaine' , but it was actually a mixture of YSL inovations (such as the first safari inspired jacket, the first smoking jacket, etc). Nice, but too little and too unfriendly :).

And no, I didn't go there wearing what is displayed in the pics, although this was my initial intention. Unfortunately it started pouring, so I resorted to the casual jeans, boots & rainjacket :D
In these images I am wearing my highschool prom dress (part of it actually), cause I thought I should give it at least one more wear before considering what to do with it. I think I can tone it down to glam-streetstyle with flat sandals & my jean vest ---that is making its appearance in maybe too many of my postings :D:D, but I love to use it for dressing down various outfits. And i love the vest itself, it's one of my favourite acquisitions from this spring.

Smart Rockeress

Here's another outfit I composed today, to make up for my lack of recent posts:D.
I was aiming for a clean, stylish rock look. I could have added some spiked cuffs, but I am currently not in position of any (!!!! , I think I gave away the last ones or something).

I hope my bf is not too angry with me, as I am way too picky when being photographed and judging the pictures afterwards. Thank you , thank you , thank you :D:D:D
