Wedges – a summer staple

I recently discovered the beauty of wedges so this is probably going to be a summer full of them. I’m just dipping my toes in the sea of possibilities! I've seen so many beautiful pairs I feel  a bit overwhelmed! But I would wear any of these babies! Hell, I want them all!:)

Why women love wedge shoes?

It is a well known truth that women love shoes. From five-inch stilettos to a pair of ultra-comfy flip-flops, knee-high boots to casual trainers, women love to browse around the shoe shops, looking to take home another pair to join the other 30, already dominating their wardrobe space. I think wedges are a summer staple because they are so laid back, effortlessly cool, pretty and practical. No wonder women can’t resist them.

Add height

Unlike stilettos, platforms and high heels in general, wedge shoes are deceptively high. Not only does wearing a pair make us appear significantly taller – a desirable trait for most – they’re also easy to walk in. You won’t have to totter along, unnaturally and comically in a pair of five-inch stilettos that didn’t quite master walking in. With wedges, your feet are just as elevated in the air but remain at the same level – no balance or skill involved. This means you can walk naturally and comfortably down the road without running the risk of breaking your neck! 

Versatile

Another reason why women love wedge shoes so much is because they are highly versatile. When worn with a pair of jeans, wedges look great and are fantastic for more casual occasions such as shopping or going to the cinema. When worn with a short dress or skirt, wedges make legs look longer and slimmer and are guaranteed to turn heads on a night out. Wedge shoes also look great when worn with a long dress, giving you extra height and a touch of glamour – perfect for a dinner party or more formal occasions.

Summertime is here!

Wedge shoes are one of those items in your wardrobe that are synonymous with summer. And because of this, it’s hard not to love them. Shoved to the back of the wardrobe for eight months of the year, wedges make a genuine comeback as soon as the weather begins to warm up. Summer is here, and so are the short skirts and wedge shoes. Let the fun begin! 

 So, how do you feel about wedges?

Animal print dress goes green

As you can see from the weird light in these pictures, I haven’t yet mastered the art of photography! However, what I’m starting to do quite effortlessly is pose awkwardly in the center of Bucharest as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I’m not even blinking at all the people passing by and saying stuff.

The bitches can say whatever as long as they don’t stand in my frame and just move on!:)))))))

I just felt the need to confess that in case my animal print dress doesn’t make enough of a statement regarding how fierce I really am:)))). And yes, the cool top I’m wearing it's actually a dress (see it here worn as she was meant to), but I cannot wear as such at work because of it being too short for boring formal occasions. Still, I love it with my vintage lace skirt and green statement necklace for a bit of a color contrast. 

I’m wearing:

dress worn as a shirt/ rochie purtata  ca top - Romwe

  bag/geanta - Marks&Spencer

belt/ fusta- vintage 

necklace/colier - Zara

sunglasses/ ochelari  - Asos

shoes, bracelet/ pantofi, bratara - random brand

Dream outfits - indecisive

These days I'm gravitating either towards super fresh and airy outfits in soft pastel shades or I'm feeling like something more feminine in neutrals with strong pops of color. Kind of like this:

or this:

Which one do you like better?

The red bag and a beaded collar

Can you guess what my new favorite thing is by looking at these photos? Here are some clues: it’s adorable and red and even has a big bow on it! Yes, I’m talking about my new lovable bag!

Unwrapping things that I got in the mail feels so great and I just gasped with excitement when I saw the red bag, it looks even better in real life and I didn’t expect it to be so big and well compartmentalized (which is great because I’m the kind of girl that carries around tones of things so I really need a lot of space in my bag).

I even got compliments from some of my co-worker on it and they don’t really give a crap about things like fashion or compliments if I were to be honest.

In fewer words this it’s my own take on the office look:)))). I’m also wearing a ironic pointy tips beaded collar that I made myself and that I love to pieces – it took a lot of hours to make because of all the bead work but the result is very cool.

I think you all remember my custom made tee featuring an incredible Gil Elvgren pin up girl that I'm wearing under a light weight asymmetric cardigan! I guess this get up has a lot of what I like going on: polka dots, midi skirts, bows, belts, sunglasses - I do love all of them and I think they work for me.

I’m wearing:

red bag/geanta rosie - random brand

skirt, belt/ fusta, curea - vintage

tights, shoes/ ciorapi, pantofi - New Look

 asymmetric cardigan/ cardigan asimetric - C&A
tshirt/ tricou – Tshirt Factory

sunglasses/ ochelari - H&M

detachable collar/guler detasabil - Alice&Sara (handmade by me)

The breakfast nook

I’m not going to lie – I eat most of my meals in front of my computer or in bed watching a movie or a TV show. A bad habit, I know, but it’s the God’s honest true!

That being said I would never do it if I actually had a nice, small, sunny place to eat instead! I’m in dear need of a charming breakfast nook: an inviting and cozy corner with lots of natural light specially designed for serving meals. I would love a comfortable bench with a small white table and a few chairs all in lovely pastels or stripes to eat while reading the morning papers.

This is what I had in mind – aren’t all these ideas just lovely?

As you can see I’m also a bit obsessed with having a vase of fresh flowers in the middle of the table, it just looks so wonderful.

Who knew delicate pastels would work so great with a dark floor and round table?!

Can you see what I'm  talking about with all the pretty flowers?

How amazing is this all white corner of paradise?!

How about a vintage finish for the table and chairs? Yes, please!!!

 

I love the awesome chandelier hanging over the white breakfast nook!

 Oh!!! Those beautiful tulips are really something!

 Stripes and peonies - a match made in heaven!

 Photos: 1, 2.

 Not that I need and incentive to eat, but, hey, aren't these ideas for a breakfast nook perfect?
