I’m open to pretty much anything but at the end of the day I like what I like and only choose those trends that go with my personality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But now and again there’s a trend or two that really insinuates into my head. It’s usually the weird ones. Right now I’m a bit obsessed with creepers! Damn you, Prada! You have revived the creepers giving them a new face. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The new creeper is the love child of &lt;em&gt;Malcolm McLaren&amp;amp;Vivienne Westwood&lt;/em&gt; variants sold in the early 70’s in their shop &lt;em&gt;"Let it Rock"&lt;/em&gt; and the preppy, colorful oxfords.

Easy to say, but it seems so complicated to actually achieve.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cur0MnKuDrA/Tx8mY-R-oZI/AAAAAAAAQ8U/DCLerIVz0Dc/s1600/waved-flapper-bob-hair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="390" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cur0MnKuDrA/Tx8mY-R-oZI/AAAAAAAAQ8U/DCLerIVz0Dc/s640/waved-flapper-bob-hair.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pYsmrUDc1dM/Tx8mZotQ_fI/AAAAAAAAQ8g/UNey42YSFO0/s1600/waved-tousled-bob.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pYsmrUDc1dM/Tx8mZotQ_fI/AAAAAAAAQ8g/UNey42YSFO0/s1600/waved-tousled-bob.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7Bd2qwV1n_8/Tx8mYKEXPzI/AAAAAAAAQ8Q/22LV5yMPsQU/s1600/louisepedersenelledenmarkjanuary20127.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7Bd2qwV1n_8/Tx8mYKEXPzI/AAAAAAAAQ8Q/22LV5yMPsQU/s1600/louisepedersenelledenmarkjanuary20127.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Right about now I could really use the new &lt;a href="http://www.ghdhair.com/au/" target="_blank"&gt;ghd&lt;/a&gt; Scarlet Collection Limited Edition that was actually created with the roaring 20’s in mind.

I’m found of wearing warm jumpers over dresses – a chic and comfortable way to get your visiting on! :)))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But the best tip I can give you it’s that no matter where you go choose wisely who you go with: that can make or break everything.

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I’ve just finished reading &lt;em&gt;The Hunger Games&lt;/em&gt; Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I read the last word of the third book in the series (&lt;em&gt;Mockingjay&lt;/em&gt;) a couple of minutes ago and then hit Google to see if they have a movie in the making. They obviously do – this is the time when anything fantasy will certainly be a success; especially this series that’s an addictive combination of &lt;em&gt;Battle Royal&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Survivor &lt;/em&gt;with an ethical edge and a sprinkle of romance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I guess I’ve always been into fiction but just recently got the sience fiction and fantasy bug. Damn you, &lt;em&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;A song of Ice and Fire&lt;/em&gt;! It’s really bad. I mean, I can’t help myself. I’ve read the three books in less than five days, I just felt I couldn’t do anything else properly until I was done. Now I can finally live again! Until I find another book I can obsess all over again that is!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hJh2iP-uEEM/TxyFRouk3ZI/AAAAAAAAQ3c/sLYmgQbNi78/s1600/Katniss-the-hunger-games-trilogy-20605026-672-525.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="500" nfa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hJh2iP-uEEM/TxyFRouk3ZI/AAAAAAAAQ3c/sLYmgQbNi78/s640/Katniss-the-hunger-games-trilogy-20605026-672-525.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MiA_CIn7r2s/TxyFVWAyAII/AAAAAAAAQ4A/dpf1xWp9As8/s1600/the-hunger-games-20111205115453835_640w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nfa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MiA_CIn7r2s/TxyFVWAyAII/AAAAAAAAQ4A/dpf1xWp9As8/s1600/the-hunger-games-20111205115453835_640w.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What I loved about this trilogy? Well it’s something easy to digest while also being reasonably deep and making you wonder about some things. And it’s funny and hearbreaking, unexpected and totally predicteable in some ways. The charachters are faulty and damaged – they are human. And while the story takes place in a post apocalyptic world, some things in this book really hit home. Don’t expect me to compare it with Twilight. It’s about 100 times better!&lt;br /&gt;It also got me saying a few times: "&lt;em&gt;Suzanne Collins, you cold hearted bitch!!!!”&lt;/em&gt; I don’t know what’s with this contemporary authors and their thirst to kill their charachters as soon as you start loving them so much you think the book couldn’t go on without them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BbHERwVHrbI/TxyFTGagcgI/AAAAAAAAQ3s/oiIZzbR9v24/s1600/the-hunger-games-20111205115451569_640w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nfa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BbHERwVHrbI/TxyFTGagcgI/AAAAAAAAQ3s/oiIZzbR9v24/s1600/the-hunger-games-20111205115451569_640w.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t want to say too much in case you want to read the three books (&lt;em&gt;The Hunger Games, Catching Fire&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Mockingjay&lt;/em&gt;) yourself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The movie made after the first book -&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392170/" target="_blank"&gt;The Hunger Games&lt;/a&gt; - will be realeased in 2012 (march I think). I was super curious to see the cast they’ve chosen to embody the personages I came to love, hate or despise in the books. I already imagined them in a way so I have a pretty good idea about how they should look and act.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="426" nfa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HlnpWQmEdhw/TxyFSbP7n8I/AAAAAAAAQ3g/AHnoD4gsSs4/s640/liam-hemsworth-the-hunger-games-image.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S7qc608URFI/TxyFOsdEohI/AAAAAAAAQ3A/349qxm3wYRM/s1600/hunger-games-movie-image-jennifer-lawrence-liam-hemsworth-011-600x400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nfa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S7qc608URFI/TxyFOsdEohI/AAAAAAAAQ3A/349qxm3wYRM/s1600/hunger-games-movie-image-jennifer-lawrence-liam-hemsworth-011-600x400.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m happy with Jennifer Lawrence playing the main character &lt;em&gt;Katniss "The Girl on Fire" Everdeen&lt;/em&gt; (the books are written from her perspective) – I think she can make this thricky character her own.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I guess Liam Hemsworth could pull off a decent &lt;em&gt;Gale Hawthorne&lt;/em&gt; (hate the fact he doesn’t seem to have the longer hair in the movie unlike the book’s version).&lt;br /&gt;I don’t see Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark, but we’ll have to wait and see. &lt;br /&gt;What I do think is a brilliant cast move is Woody Harrelson as &lt;em&gt;Haymitch Abernathy&lt;/em&gt; and Lenny Kravitz as &lt;em&gt;Cinna&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;You’d beter cast someone gorgeous as &lt;em&gt;Finnick Odair&lt;/em&gt; for the second movie cause I have a huge crash on him in the book and I don’t want to be disappointed!:)))))))))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;That being said I hope this first movie will be great and they will transform the next two volumes into movies too.

He characterized it as being "joyous, upbeat, nostalgic" which I couldn’t agree more. It’s also amazing and sophisticated in a very modern and colorful way. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I adore the complex beading and braiding details, the big bags and the beautiful ethnic prints. And how about those shoes: the platforms with heavy strand of beads in the front are stunning!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While the color palette (peacock, hawthorne, chocolate and ochre) is not necessarily “on trend”, I find it refreshing and easier to wear than the neon frenzy direction other designer went with. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The outwear that’s Burberry’s signature is truly fantastic: those cool cropped parkas with amazing beading and those raffia weaved trenches left me speechless.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The clothes seem a bit warm for the seasons are meant to but I think these pieces are something that can be worn anytime, this is one collection that’s above seasons. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I also love the elegant and effortless feel of the mid length skirts paired with the colorful sweaters with artisanal details. The whole collection feels so expensive and you can see how much craftsmanship went into every piece. That’s what I call perfection!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nvITeqm4TZI/TxZ8QZ2S2JI/AAAAAAAAQz0/NR5hnJ9s8OA/s1600/Burberry+Prorsum+Spring+2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Well - it’s back on! This time I have a super hilarious scene from &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1828327/" target="_blank"&gt;Last Man Standing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; which is a new comedy on ABC that’s really funny unlike many others airing right now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I personally think this may be the best way to get over a breakup while also showing that asshole what he’s missing! :))))))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In case you don’t watch it, here’s the deal: Mandy decides that the best way to get back at her ex-boyfriend Travis would be to make a music video inspired by &lt;em&gt;Cry me a river (Justin Timberlake)&lt;/em&gt; so she enrolls her two sister as the backup dancers and singers and makes the video in the dinner her big sister works at after closing using the phone, hence the waitress uniforms as a wardrobe choice.&lt;br /&gt;Another hilarious detail (except the dance moves, overall performance and lyrics) is they call themselves The Inglorious Baxters (Baxter is their family name).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/P3k-NQTbupg" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you can't find the words to write your own revenge breakup song, take a cue from this masterpiece of metaphors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Apple, cherry, lemon meringue /I wake, I bake, I do my thang/Sad to say I’ll never take you back&lt;br /&gt;So wave goodbye to my pie rack.

Ironic, huh?! But seriously the weather is so weird I could actually wear this right now! I can’t even remember a winter here in Romania quite like this one: it always snows a lot…well, except this year; not that I’m complaining!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Other than that I’m trying to stay away from stores right now but I’m doing a terrible job at best. The thing is I love sales, but my house looks like it’s being taking over by clothes, they are everywhere - I’m having a hard time with that. I also don’t want to exhaust my credit card and stuff; I still need to pay my rent after all. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Talking about sales, the leather jacket in the pictures is one I got on clearance last year! I think it looks cool with my retro polka dots pleated skirt. The blue fringe statement necklace is handmade by yours truly (you can buy it from &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/90618677/blue-fringe-statement-necklace" target="_blank"&gt;my Etsy Store&lt;/a&gt;).

Here are some interesting facts about this pouty lips beauty that got people talking: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Lana Del Rey is her stage name (a poetic combination of the first name of old Hollywood actress Lana Turner and a Ford model from 1981), she's 25 years old, her actual name is Elisabeth Grant and she’s the daughter of millionaire Robert Grant&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;She first launched her career in 2010 under a different name (Lizzie Grant) and with different lips and style which brought a lot of accusations about her being totally manufactured.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There's something fascinating about Lana Del Rey – she’s such a beauty, perfect on the outside, obsessed with the Hollywood aesthetic, yet somehow broken, fragile and decadent personality wise, an introvert who’s constantly trying to make sense of the world. What really gets me it’s the contrast between her&amp;nbsp;nostalgic&amp;nbsp;retro&amp;nbsp;look and the dark mood and feel of her songs. So emotionally charged and sad! &lt;br /&gt;The girl is a huge drama queen, if I’d ever seen one! I love that about her!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C4RBnRi3B0k/TwzR52OM8jI/AAAAAAAABFI/xQepzUsd67Q/s1600/tumblr_lwyba96G1p1qd8nujo1_500.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C4RBnRi3B0k/TwzR52OM8jI/AAAAAAAABFI/xQepzUsd67Q/s1600/tumblr_lwyba96G1p1qd8nujo1_500.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KD2PIcVCZxU/TwzRxcXDrFI/AAAAAAAABEU/Yc3SujeRjos/s1600/tumblr_lwteat2Z8q1qdd6ixo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KD2PIcVCZxU/TwzRxcXDrFI/AAAAAAAABEU/Yc3SujeRjos/s1600/tumblr_lwteat2Z8q1qdd6ixo1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Her deep, husky voice, sometimes described as a “gangsta” Nancy Sinatra makes her distinct. The Daily Transmission called her sound &lt;em&gt;“Cinematic dark pop wrapped in smoky, sultry and glamorous overtones”&lt;/em&gt; which I think is a brilliant way to put it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7tfD_9RwCII/TwzR4AoNbpI/AAAAAAAABFA/2aj07XZjtCk/s1600/tumblr_lwy9eko1be1qfn04wo1_500.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7tfD_9RwCII/TwzR4AoNbpI/AAAAAAAABFA/2aj07XZjtCk/s1600/tumblr_lwy9eko1be1qfn04wo1_500.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YFCZiL9_bEg/TwzRv5wDcuI/AAAAAAAABEE/QfluJJEY0Ck/s1600/lana-del-rey1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YFCZiL9_bEg/TwzRv5wDcuI/AAAAAAAABEE/QfluJJEY0Ck/s1600/lana-del-rey1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What makes Lana Del Rey even more memorable is her retro style inspired by the 50’s and the 60’s&amp;nbsp;with a modern “California girl” vibe that’s very in right now. I also see a lot of Lauren Bacall and Brigitte Bardot influences in the way she looks and what she wears. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While her lyrics may be sometimes cliché, her songs are quite addictive – her voice is mesmerizing, very soulful and cold at the same time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-80_GbziVct8/TwzR7aE_WYI/AAAAAAAABFU/jaIp-o0SKrE/s1600/tumblr_lwywzuzG0X1r6tb32o1_500.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-80_GbziVct8/TwzR7aE_WYI/AAAAAAAABFU/jaIp-o0SKrE/s1600/tumblr_lwywzuzG0X1r6tb32o1_500.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3aW3EyX4VYo/TwzR2eXmGBI/AAAAAAAABEw/-xwSThah9T0/s1600/tumblr_lwxlq4jKkU1qey885o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3aW3EyX4VYo/TwzR2eXmGBI/AAAAAAAABEw/-xwSThah9T0/s1600/tumblr_lwxlq4jKkU1qey885o1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9u6E4uPmuuQ/TwzRvBE-FPI/AAAAAAAABEA/n2qrYIwwApo/s1600/lana%252520del%252520rey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9u6E4uPmuuQ/TwzRvBE-FPI/AAAAAAAABEA/n2qrYIwwApo/s1600/lana%252520del%252520rey.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And then came the videos!!! So far they were perfect, refreshing and sad (far from the usual &lt;em&gt;ho fest&lt;/em&gt; that the music videos have become nowadays). &lt;br /&gt;First we have &lt;em&gt;Video Games&lt;/em&gt; – a strange combination of David Lynch vibes and old home made video montages that stirs a bit of emotion out of anybody.&lt;br /&gt;Then we have &lt;em&gt;Born to Die&lt;/em&gt; that’s a beautifully edited, tragic story that goes perfectly with the hallucinant song. It also happens to be laced with symbolism, but who cares about that, right?! &lt;br /&gt;It’s all about the esthetically breathtaking factor with Lana Del Rey! So much so that many hurried to discuss the old “style over substance’ subject which I think to be total rubbish in this particular case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TU4WDN_ithg/TwzRyw3ZvaI/AAAAAAAABEg/isufi_8QJAU/s1600/tumblr_lwx39rf0h01qiqvtyo1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TU4WDN_ithg/TwzRyw3ZvaI/AAAAAAAABEg/isufi_8QJAU/s1600/tumblr_lwx39rf0h01qiqvtyo1_500.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Bag1gUxuU0g" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pHeFnTS0oEM/TwzR3H-E1AI/AAAAAAAABE4/ngIQfj5jGic/s1600/tumblr_lwxno8nRNQ1qlvso8o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kba="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pHeFnTS0oEM/TwzR3H-E1AI/AAAAAAAABE4/ngIQfj5jGic/s1600/tumblr_lwxno8nRNQ1qlvso8o1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I’ve also found this really cool interview she gave to Rolling Stone (via &lt;a href="http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/64850240.html" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;): &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On her songwriting:&lt;/strong&gt; “My writing process…it’s been the same for a very long time. I never feel rushed. I never feel pressure. I really have a strong idea about what I like to hear and myself write and sing. A deadline never compromises things for me. If I didn’t have the right material, I would never release it.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On her sound and visual references&lt;/strong&gt;: “I keep it really clear. I talk a lot about Thomas Newman’s score for American Beauty. That was a soundtrack I really was inspired by. Giorgio Mirto, I talk about the orchestral work he’s done. Think Thomas Newman score for American Beauty meets early Bruce Springsteen ’sex Americana.’ And put them together, but place it in Miami and have me singing it. That’s what I tell them.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On early musical influences:&lt;/strong&gt; “When I was 11, I saw Kurt Cobain singing ‘Heart Shaped Box’ on MTV and it really stopped me dead in my tracks. And I thought he was the most beautiful person I had even seen. Even at a young age, I really related to his sadness. I felt like I was really searching for answers. And I thought I could see that in him, briefly, in 3 minutes and 42 seconds, or whatever. So I saw him for the first time on TV when I was 11, and I never revisited his music again until I was about 17 or 18; and then when I did, it still meant just as much to me then and it’s continued to be my primary inspiration—in terms of not wanting to compromise lyrically or sonically. Not making music that I..thought was really stupid.

It was an interesting year for me - with lots of ups and downs, but I guess life is like that. I’m ready for a New Year and I’m excited to make this one truly spectacular; I’m going to make things happen, guys!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;One extraordinary thing&amp;nbsp;this year brought was an unexpected and very fast growth of this blog. I didn’t see that coming, but I have all of you to thank for it. It’s been only 6 months since me and Sara really started to update the blog daily and the results&amp;nbsp;are amazing. We’re determined to improve it even more in 2012! Thank you so much!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You know how I live for jewelry and small enchanting accessories, right?! So I thought I should give you a &lt;b&gt;best of 2011 in details&lt;/b&gt;. It’s only the first in a series of three, next I’ll&amp;nbsp;post a best of outfits and best of makeup and hairdos I sported this past year!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;You'll notice a lot of rings and bracelets, high heels, colorful nails, prints, frilly socks and necklaces -&amp;nbsp;

I was getting used to lazing around, eating, reading and watching TV all day long but then I realized I didn’t update the blog for a few days and felt guilty. Being a responsible adult is so hard, guys! I wouldn’t know but I imagine it is! :))))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So here I am with the last two outfits I created around the green dress. Everything I’m wearing except the chain&amp;nbsp;earcuffs is &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/#%21/NewLookRomania" target="_blank"&gt;New Look&lt;/a&gt;. You can find the other two &lt;a href="http://fashionandpopculturemagic.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-new-look-part-one.html" target="_blank"&gt;looks here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The first is an edgier approach to an otherwise feminine get up. When I saw this asymmetric parka in the store I experimented an almost slow motion moment, romantic music and all – it’s really perfect with the hood, cool shape and all the pockets and zippers. And how about the boots that can be worn two ways: laced up all the way or rolled down revealing the rock&amp;amp;roll studded details?!

Lounge. The photos for the limited edition calendar (only 500 copies were released, all numbered and having a certificate of authenticity) were taken by Cristian Crisbasan who was graciously signing them for all the guests. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I arrived late but I had a good time. The Next PR girls that organized the launch (Florina Axinia, Ana Paun, Otilia Mihailov-Dumitrescu) were super nice and helpful, making me feel welcomed and providing all the information I needed. They even sent me photos from the event as I didn’t have time to snap as many as I wanted. The get together was very relaxed, the crowd super cool - I was actually sorry I couldn’t make it in time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Cristina Iordan,&amp;nbsp;the models&amp;nbsp;and Cristian Crisbasan (the photographer)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wz3puIpP0IE/TvGafqEL7pI/AAAAAAAAQg4/oOVj2CJ_GUg/s1600/Cristina+Iordan%252C+modele+calendar%252C+Cristian+Crisbasan+%25282a%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wz3puIpP0IE/TvGafqEL7pI/AAAAAAAAQg4/oOVj2CJ_GUg/s640/Cristina+Iordan%252C+modele+calendar%252C+Cristian+Crisbasan+%25282a%2529.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aYZU26591R4/TvGag8tRy4I/AAAAAAAAQhE/Xc5nb4UAR2U/s1600/Lansare+calendar+Sun+Plaza+by+Cristian+Crisbasan+%25284%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" oda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aYZU26591R4/TvGag8tRy4I/AAAAAAAAQhE/Xc5nb4UAR2U/s640/Lansare+calendar+Sun+Plaza+by+Cristian+Crisbasan+%25284%2529.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m0mF2KNdQQA/TvGakB-rdBI/AAAAAAAAQhM/ydYWzg6gOzM/s1600/Lansare+calendar+SUN+PLAZA+by+Cristian+Crisbasan+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" oda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m0mF2KNdQQA/TvGakB-rdBI/AAAAAAAAQhM/ydYWzg6gOzM/s640/Lansare+calendar+SUN+PLAZA+by+Cristian+Crisbasan+%25282%2529.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;Florina Axinia was&amp;nbsp;looking beautiful in a&amp;nbsp;layered maxi length get up!

I mean is December and as warm as early fall. High five global warming!!! If not for the social pressure I would almost not wear tights. :))))).

It’s a less than five minutes job. If you’re really in a hurry than wear a dress!:)))) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Can’t even tell you how much I love a good trench – there’s nothing classier than a trench worn with a colorful scarf.

I’m still in Belgium right now trying to make the best of my trip but that is no reason to slow down on updating the blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The mustard shoes are a recent addition to my closet, they are in fact a bit yellow but very cute and reasonably comfortable. I’m also wearing a 60’s vintage jacket that I was lucky to find in mint condition but somehow forgot about so I thought I ought to debut it rather sooner than later. You never know when the first snow will attack and wearing jackets will be out of discussion. The dress is very simple but I love it because is made out of this really light weight wool and goes with everything you can imagine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Hope you’re planning something fun for the weekend! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Needless to say I’m super excited; I really needed a break from pretty much everything. Thank God for the trips – they are one of the reasons I don’t have a nervous breakdown now and again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I don’t know if I will be able to do any live blogging from Belgium and I won’t stress too much about it, but I did prepare some articles to keep you entertained while I’m gone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;How was packing you ask? Well, I‘m very proud of myself, I only packed 2 dresses, 2 skirts, 2 shirts, 3 sweaters and 2 pairs of shoes including what I’m wearing on the plain for the whole week I’m spending there. I went a bit overboard with the accessories: hats, belts, gloves, scarves and the rest but they didn’t take so much space so it’s ok. I’ve also heard it’s even colder there than in Bucharest right now so I’m sure I’ll be happy I got them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;By now I transformed packing into an art; I know what to take and what to leave behind. I can share the knowledge if you’re interested.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I would be grateful for any good tips on places to visit, shop, eat, dance (especially:)))&amp;nbsp;in Bruxelles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you so much for all the support, comments, following and I can’t wait to tell you all about this trip!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Well, I decided I’m going to answer their emails on the blog (when I have the time that is).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Carmen sent me this email: &lt;em&gt;I’ve read in an interview you gave that you are sometimes inspired by books and characters in them to dress a certain way. I really don’t get that! Can you explain?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Am citit intr-un interviu de pe alt blog ca uneori esti inspirata de carti si personajele din ele cand te imbraci. Chiar nu inteleg asta! Poti sa explici?)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sure I can!:)))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Every time I read a book I start living a bit in the universe of that specific book and I end up thinking about it a lot. I’m also a super visual person and while I read I can also “see” (with my minds eyes:) scenes from it, imagine how the characters look like and so on. It's a bit like emerging in a tube of worm water - you feel it all over and can't get out all dried and dandy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I’ve also been known to fall in love/hate some of the personages, quote from the books I like to the dismay and amusement of all my friends. Right now I’m reading a lot of fantasy books, one of the lasts was &lt;em&gt;The Wise Woman&lt;/em&gt; (by Phillipa Gregory), also &lt;em&gt;Good Omens, The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter&lt;/em&gt; (by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett) so I’m pretty much unconsciously dressing like a witch:)))).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Don’t take that literally – I’m not going to wear a pointy hat and black lipstick, it’s just a general unrational desire I have to wear maxi lengths, dark clothes, heavy jewelry&amp;nbsp;and large head adornments. My sister just finished &lt;em&gt;A Song of Ice and Fire&lt;/em&gt; and can’t stop seaching dragon rings, fur collars and capes which I couldn’t be happier about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I hope I explained myself. I can’t honestly understand how others can read something and not be inspired to dress or do something else maybe, but you know, mainly be inspired. I guess, I’m just weird that way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I’m wearing the maxi dress my sister made for me, but it seems I have a skirt on because the upper part is hidden under a cute black shirt that I toped with a statement necklace. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;What do you think?

The following outfit is one of those! I used to wear this biker jacket a lot back when my collection of leather jackets wasn’t as extensive as it‘s these days. Still, it’s one of my cooler pieces. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Oh, and my pair of white Adidas Superstar that I bought one summer I spent in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle" target="_blank"&gt;Seattle&lt;/a&gt; and wore for a week every single day. I love these shoes – so many amazing memories and adventures we shared -&amp;nbsp;Me and my sister in an foreign country, leaving in a huge, interesting city, so far away from anything familiar but happy and free and trying to experience as much as possible, making new friends, dreaming. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Really, it’s the memories, the smells, the colors and people that make a garment special, the ones you associate with that particular item, not the brands and price tags. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The clothes I love the most are the ones I’ve been happy in, the ones that have seen&amp;nbsp;smiles and kisses and laughs and starry skies and early mornings and airports, the ones that traveled with me and have seen the sea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;All my favorite clothes could tell wonderful stories and know more about me than most people do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;That’s why I’m mainly an emotional dresser.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iviSo_PwQGU/TsWfmj2tP_I/AAAAAAAAA_I/J4-zTHI2h-I/s1600/adidas+superstar%252C+biker+jacket+lace+dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iviSo_PwQGU/TsWfmj2tP_I/AAAAAAAAA_I/J4-zTHI2h-I/s1600/adidas+superstar%252C+biker+jacket+lace+dress.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Check out the tutorial for the &lt;a href="http://fashionandpopculturemagic.blogspot.com/2011/10/cross-nails-tutorial.html" target="_blank"&gt;cross nails!&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Daca va plac unghiile, nu uitati de &lt;a href="http://fashionandpopculturemagic.blogspot.com/2011/10/cross-nails-tutorial.html" target="_blank"&gt;tutorial&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VWhaZLTqXPs/TsWfqJwbvjI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/usZWc55xWXA/s1600/Picture+409aaaaaaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" height="426px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VWhaZLTqXPs/TsWfqJwbvjI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/usZWc55xWXA/s640/Picture+409aaaaaaa.jpg" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Uneori imi amintesc de anumite haine de care am fost obsedata in perioade ale vietii mele si decid sa le imbrac din nou.

In fact I think she was wearing this when she was my age or even a bit younger. &lt;br /&gt;I love it, it’s nothing fancy, she had it made by a seamstress, it really simple but flattering and kind of sexy because it’s a bit see through and sparkly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you imagine?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Being a cute dress and being loved by a girl, being with her in some important and happy moments of her life, maybe seeing her fall in love and then somehow being forgotten by the said girl in the closet, staying there for years, sad and nostalgic, hearing the stories the other clothes are telling about the world and your “girl”, husband and children and then, 20 years later, another girl comes, in a way she resembles your original girl (she’s her daughter) and she snatches you from the old closet and happily&amp;nbsp;wears you, and you get to see the world again, you’re now getting to make new friends like the black leather jacket she’s usually wearing over you and you hope that this new girl will love you for a long time and you won’t be abandoned in the closet again&amp;nbsp;for years and years. &lt;br /&gt;You really want to see&amp;nbsp;this girl dancing and falling in love too.&lt;br /&gt;The new girl wears a lot of jewelry and a huge camera that she uses to take photos of everything and everyone, she’s also super tall so you get to be shorter and see things that you never got to see before :))))). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dear dress, don’t worry, I will love you forever and I promise to show you the world, things have changed but it’s still amazing!!!!&lt;/em&gt;

And she actually did move to New York (in October I think) which is amazing, she just did everything in her power to make it happen, looked for a job, found one with her friend Nina (they still work together as a creative team in an advertising agency - copywriter and art director), got the USA visa and now she’s leaving the dream. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-epePGw115mg/TrjuwJyFNPI/AAAAAAAAP9Q/ZoMWwRux1jM/s1600/5746707477_875d43ed63_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ida="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-epePGw115mg/TrjuwJyFNPI/AAAAAAAAP9Q/ZoMWwRux1jM/s1600/5746707477_875d43ed63_z.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-azuLtQLex7Y/TrjtyAPEM8I/AAAAAAAAP8A/8O7I4HtXfvM/s1600/4387421744_5d67f59b20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ida="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-azuLtQLex7Y/TrjtyAPEM8I/AAAAAAAAP8A/8O7I4HtXfvM/s1600/4387421744_5d67f59b20.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ja1a28Ab6ZM/TrjuKaq9zII/AAAAAAAAP8g/j5b2peH92PY/s1600/2992620210_7f9de85cd4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ida="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ja1a28Ab6ZM/TrjuKaq9zII/AAAAAAAAP8g/j5b2peH92PY/s1600/2992620210_7f9de85cd4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ida="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QGOvQtCrOvM/TrjuIPwUfMI/AAAAAAAAP8Q/n0gUWdyk5sU/s1600/%25282%2529.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TAK1ck2klcU/TrjuJTrNR9I/AAAAAAAAP8Y/3BwZ-4zdW4A/s1600/2792472984_36406b9ef5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ida="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TAK1ck2klcU/TrjuJTrNR9I/AAAAAAAAP8Y/3BwZ-4zdW4A/s1600/2792472984_36406b9ef5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tR-Wz0rFKlk/TrjsJWBngjI/AAAAAAAAP7o/unOyvZTfy18/s1600/3330879724_e4ca3ccef2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ida="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tR-Wz0rFKlk/TrjsJWBngjI/AAAAAAAAP7o/unOyvZTfy18/s1600/3330879724_e4ca3ccef2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The only bad part is that her boyfriend (Ludvig) and her&amp;nbsp;are not together all the time (from what I can gather and can see these two have an epic love story going on and are absolutely adorable together, it’s sickening really:)))).

Brilliant right?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I ended up being slightly overdressed even with the neon flats and colorful bracelets.

I my defense it was my birthday. I’m not insane, I wore this last month when the weather was pretty warm still, hence de ruffled metallic sandals I braved the day with. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I also have to admit I use any excuse to wear my more outrageous vintage dresses. Any major and minor holiday is a good day for overdressing; sometimes just being Monday is enough. Lots of jewelry are also sacrificed every time I feel like impersonating some blue blood lady – I’m nothing if not committed. :))))). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The only concession I made to fall was the short trench jacket that I wore over the stripped dress, I feel it gives the outfit a modern feel, not that I’m particularly preoccupied with looking all that trendy.

Thank God nobody bought it because I would have regretted it; it’s so cute with the water lilies print and shape and fits me really well.

Ok, I admit, it’s the same outfit, I just added the cardigan but I think it looks completely different. I had a lot of fun trying to figure out different ways to wear it, the long parts in the front give you the liberty to wrap it around your body however you want; it’s a little bit like a stylish blanket :))).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #4c1130;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P.S&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;

I would be the girl that thinks about her costume/character months in advance and I would chaperon random kids just for the excuse to go trick-or-treat despite my age. I’m talking about good old Halloween all the clichés included: watching horror movies, going to visit old abandoned houses and graveyards, pretending to be somebody else and really committing to it, lights and creepy home decorations, carved pumpkins, too much candy and orange food.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mABEuCgebzM/TqqjzwjQwbI/AAAAAAAAA40/Yy32lX2AFYw/s1600/181695389_tE7DyQrz_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640px" ida="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mABEuCgebzM/TqqjzwjQwbI/AAAAAAAAA40/Yy32lX2AFYw/s640/181695389_tE7DyQrz_c.jpg" width="512px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Who am I kidding?!! I already have some costume ideas lined up even if Halloween isn’t big in my corner of the world and nobody really wears costumes on the streets. It’s not even about the costumes, it’s&amp;nbsp; more about the stories, about escaping into fantasy, embracing magic and the impossible, being silly and childish.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If given the chance I would definitely be a more creative Halloween dresser. Sluty Barbie, sluty nurse, playboy bunny don’t really make the cut for me; I mean, I can dress like a ho any time, but, seriously, how many times a year can I get a free pass to be a superhero, a TV or a book character?!!! We don’t have Comic-Con here in Bucharest?:)))))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My top 3 choices for this year Halloween are:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1.

And who wouldn’t want to be even if for a single day Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targareyen, Mother of Dragons, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea??????

I would personally add a leather vest and a dragon ring and maybe little bells in my hair (those who read the books will understand).

My so Called Life is one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen, it’s the perfect story about being young and in love, a little bit too smart for your own good and awkwardly trying to figure out what the hell is going on all while rocking plaid.

The only thing missing is to dress the part: you need a plaid dress or a shirt and a girly, short skirt, combat type boots (Dr. Martens would be perfect) and&amp;nbsp;a denim vest or jacket. Other than that act shy, use "like"&amp;nbsp;in every single sentence, smile a lot and play obsessively with your hair.&amp;nbsp;Being in love with&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;a boy named Jordan that leans like no other would also help:))).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="height: 600px; position: relative; width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/angela_chase/set?.embedder=154021&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=38762268" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Angela Chase" border="0" height="600px" src="http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/38762268/id/xinqPkkB4RG7tsW4qLy_Dg/size/y.jpg" title="Angela Chase" width="600px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/angela_chase/set?.embedder=154021&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=38762268"&gt;Angela Chase&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://sarasara3.polyvore.com/?.embedder=154021&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste"&gt;sarasara3&lt;/a&gt; featuring a &lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/denim_vest/shop?query=denim+vest"&gt;denim vest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;3.
