Floral

I can’t wait for spring to come. I’m so over winter and freezing cold temperatures. That being said I’m happy the flower print trend survives another season.To be honest I don’t really care about the trends, I’ll wear it anyway, some things just go well with your personality and you have to stick with them, but its nice when the fashion world agrees!

Astept cu nerabdare primavara pentru ca m-am saturat de iarna aceasta foarte rece si ma bucur ca printurile florale sunt in continuare un trend. Ca sa fiu sincera eu as purta astfel de imprimeuri chiar daca nu ar nu ar mai fi de actualitate, unele lucruri pur si simplu ti se potrivesc, dar este placut cand lumea modei este de accord cu mine.

Do you like/wear floral prints?/ Va plac/purtati imprimeuri florale?

It's an artistic smash!

"You can always take off the skirt and use it as a cape" - Little Edie

Scenes form the movie/ Scene din film

            
I’ve just finish seeing the new Grey Gardens and I have to say I loved every minute of it - Drew Barrymore totally deserved that Golden Globe.

In case you didn’t know Grey Gardens 2009 is a remake of the 1975 documentary shot by Albert and David Maysles and it captures the lives of two reclusive ex-socialites (mother and daughter with the same name - Edith Beales) who lived in the wealthy East Hampton for decades with limited funds in a run-down mansion. Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale were the aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.

The documentary quickly became a cult classic and qualifies as one of the best documentaries ever made. In the new Grey Gardenes the two Edies are brilliantly played by Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore. I think this is finally a movie were Drew can show how very talented she truly is.

The eccentric style of the original Edies has been a great source of inspiration for many, including big designers: the luxurious granny chic trend, 40’s inspired shoulders and nipped in waist (an Autumn 2009 trend), the headscarf held in place by jewellery, 50’s shaped swimming costumes.

Jos: scene din noul Grey Gardens

While promoting the movie Drew Barrymore clearly got inspired by the character she played and paraded some exceptionally beautiful outfits. Here are my favorites:

  Rochie Alberta Ferretti (Roger Vivier shoes and Fred Leighton jewels)

Rochie Andrew Gn (Badgley Mischka earrings, Lucifer Vir Honestus rings/bracelet, purple Christian Louboutin peeps-toes)

Rochie Giambattista Valli (Lorraine Schwartz jewels)

La premiile Emmy in 2009 a purtat o rochie Monique Lhuillier (Anna Hu jewels, Raven Kauffman “Drew” clutch and Casadei shoes)

 Rochie Elle Saab (Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Lorraine Schwartz jewels and a peacock-feathered hairband)

 Rochie Narciso Rodriguez

 Rochie Nina Ricci Lorraine (Schwartz ring/earrings, Badgley Mischka brooch and House of Lavande bracelet animal-print Gucci peep-toe slingbacks)

    
 Tocmai am terminat de vazul Grey Gardens si mi-a placut fiecare minut! Drew Barrymore a meritat din plin Globul de Aur castigat in acest an si cred ca rolul “Little Edie” i-a dat in final ocazia sa demonstreze cat de talentata este.

      In cazul in care nu stiati, productia HBO este realizata dupa celebrul documentar Grey Gardens filmat in 1975 de Albert si David Maysles si devenit peste ani un documentar cult ce se claseaza in topul celor mai bune facute vreodata.

Fratii Maysles surprind viata de zi cu zi a doua doua foste doamne bogate (mama si fiica purtand acelasi nume) ajunse la ruina, care traiesc intr-o casa darapanata cu 29 de camere din bogatul East Hampton, New York.

Picanteria vine din faptul ca Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale si fiica sa Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale au fost rude apropiate (matusa si verisoara primara) ale celebrei Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.

Desi initial documentarul a socat, dezgustat si ingrozit pe multi prin sinceritatea aroape cruda cu care prezinta situatia, in timp inocenta si nebunia excentrica a celor doua Edie le-a transformat in personaje cult si sursa de inspiratie in moda. Va recomand atat acest remake cat si originalul care este in felul lui o opera de arta despre tristete, artistocratie profund decazuta, persoane care traiesc fara sa-si ceara scuze, excentricitate si stil personal.

         Trendul granny chic, umerii in stilul anilor 40, talia puternic marcata, esarfa purtata pe cap si prinsa cu bijuterii, costumele de baie in stilul anilor 50 atat de prezente in trendurile ultimilor ani sunt toate inspirate de Grey Gardens si cele doua Edie.

In perioada in care a promovat filmul, Drew Barrymore a fost extrem de inspirata si a imbracat cateva tinute foarte reusite. Mai sus le aveti pe cele care mie s-au parut perfecte!

Aveti de gand sa vedeti Grey Gardens? Va place Drew Barrymore si vreunul din outfiturile despre care am vorbit?

Harper’s Bazaar Romania - Amazing!!!

The February 2010 number of Harper’s Bazaar Romania is wonderful. My royalty related infatuation is fully satisfied by one splendid editorial with Isa Asklof styled by Ornella Jong and photographed by Sylvie Malfray.

Draped in deco-inspired jewelry from the Chanel cruise collection Isa Asklof looks strange and beautiful and makes me want to have huge blonde wavy hair while wearing 4 pounds of jewelry.

Nu cumpar aproape niciodata reviste de moda, insa nu o sa ratez noul numar Harper’s Bazaar. Motivul principal este editorialul absolut superb intitulat "Belle Dejours" cu Isa Asklof stilizata de Ornella Jong si fotografiata de Sylvie Malfray.

Accesoriile, in jurul carora este construita intreaga poveste, fac parte din colectia Chanel Cruise (colectia resort) si mi-au taiat rasuflarea. Brusc am chef sa ies pe strada cu cateva kilograme de bijuterii pe mine.

Ce ziceti? Va place?

Eye Therapy - The beautiful people

Thank God and Sweden for Alexander Skarsgard, one of my many imaginary boyfriends and vampire extraordinaire in “True Blood” (which by the way I love) who looked like a million bucks Sunday night at the Golden Globes as I’m sure he looks every night of the week (not that I’m thinking to much about it or anything).

Ii multumesc lui Dumnezeu si Suediei pentru Alexander Skarsgard unul din multii mei prieteni imaginari si vampir de frunte in serialul True Blood (al carui al treilea sezon il astept cu sufletul la gura). 

I also thank God and Canada for the younger and darker Cory Monteith from "Glee". If you’re not convinced, don’t forget he also sings quite well and he’s known for being able to bust a move now and again.

Ii multumesc din nou lui Dumnezeu si bineinteles Canadei pentru mai tanarul si mai brunetul Cory Monteith din Glee. Daca nu sunteti convinse, nu uitati ca poate canta oricand ceva si ca nu se face de ras pe ringul de dans.

Boys, fear not, I have something for you too and it’s red hot and amazingly beautiful - I’m talking about Christina Hendricks who’s playing the sultry Joan Holloway in "Mad Men". Not that it would matter to much but her peach dress is made by the one and only Christian Siriano (the annoyingly fierce but also talented winner of Project Runway Season 4 and the only one that actually did something after the show.)

Nu am uitat nici de baietii cu ochii obositi, pentru care am ales cateva poze cu posibil cea mai frumoasa roscata din lume, Christina Hendricks din minunatul Mad Man. Nu ca ar mai conta, dar rochia de culoarea piersicii purtata de Christina este o creatie Christian Siriano, nimeni altul decat castigatorul sezonului 4 din Project Runway si una dintre cele mai enervante si “fierce” fiinte din lume, dar in acelasi timp amuzant, talentat si singurul concurent care a facut cu adevarat ceva dupa incheierea PR.

The rest of the pictures are a bonus for those who have really tired eyes and need even more therapy . Daca inca mai aveti ochii obositi iata alte cateva "calmante":

The 2010 Golden Globes

Duminica seara a avut loc a 67 a editie a Globurilor de Aur precedata de mult asteptata defilare a celor mai cunoscute vedete de film si televiziune pe covorul rosu. M-am bucurat ca multi dintre favoritii mei au castigat, dar si de cateva aparitii absolut fabuloase in departamentul vestimentar.  My absolute favorites were/ Cel mai mult mi-au placut:

DREW BARRYMORE  intr-o rochie Atelier Versace  (Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, Roger Vivier clutch and Jimmy Choo sandals).

CHRISTINA AGUILERA din nou in Versace (Nina Ricci heels and Stephen Webster jewels). Absolut surprinzator pentru mine - de obicei alege rochii foarte urate si se machiaza strident, dar nu si de data aceasta.

DIANE KRUGER  in Christian Lacroix Haute Couture ( Chanel Fine Jewelry pieces and Raven Kauffman Couture clutch).

Si inca cateva puncte pentru ca are cel mai simpatic prieten din lume: Joshua Jackson

LEA MICHELE in Oscar de la Renta (Chopard emerald and diamond jewelry). Desi joaca un personaj enervant in Glee (yeeey pentru castigarea categoriei Best Television Series (Musical or Comedy)) a ales o rochie frumoasa pentru covorul rosu, mai ales ca este prima ei aparitie la un eveniment atat de important.

EMILY BLUNT  nominalizata pentru rolul principal din The Young Victoria in Dolce & Gabbana (Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Ferragamo clutch).

CAREY MULLIGAN nominalizata pentru rolul principal in An Education in Nina Ricci  (antique Fred Leighton jewels, 19th-century reviere in her hair). E adorabila!

GINNIFER GOODWIN in Vionne ( Judith Leiber clutch, Brian Atwood heels and Neil Lane diamonds). O rochie surprinzatoare intr-o nuanta divina de albastru!

SANDRA BULLOCK, castigatoarea categoriei Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) pentru rolul din The Blind Side, in Bottega Veneta  (matching knot clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Casadei pumps) . In ceea ce o priveste pe Sandra Bullock sunt putin nehotarata: nu stiu inca daca imi place mult sau nu prea!

Mi-au mai placut rochiile purtate de: Amy Poehler, Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz.

 Mi s-au partut destul de dragute si tinutele purtate de: Maggie Gyllenhaal, January Jones, Amy Adams, dar nu m-au impresionat in mod deosebit!

 Rochiile purtate de: Chloe Sevigny, Fergie, si Nicole Kidman mi s-au parut, din diverse motive, destul de urate: cea purtata de Chloe mi se pare too much, parca are prea multe volane; desi in mod normal in place culoarea lila, nuanta aleasa de Fergie nu i se potriveste deloc, rochia purtata de Nicole are o nuanta foarte frumoasa insa, din nou, este incarcata cu prea multe detalii inutile!

 Tinutele purtate de Halle Berry, Anna Paquin si Kate Hudson mi s-au parut infiorator de urate.  Halle si Kate (what's with the hooker heels???!!!)
 care de obicei sunt right on au dat-o in bara rau de asta data iar Sookie :) a ales cei mai urati pantofi din lume pentru rochia ei stralucitoare!

Care sunt favoritele voastre? Cine nu v-a placut de data aceasta?
