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?

When life was easy and the sun was bright

Is there such a thing as a “picnic outfit”? Because this is what I find to be appropriate picnic wear: something very comfortable and fun. And you know what’s always fun? Polka dots with denim jackets and red shoes – it can’t get better than that!

You probably remember me wearing this cute dress before - here!

Sunny days and spring made me realize how we should all appreciate the small things in life more than we actually do - they really make the difference when it hurts to speak about the big things. So I twirled and smiled because life was easy and the sun was bright!

I’m wearing:

dress, belt / rochie, curea - vintage

sunglasses, ring / ochelari, inel - H&M

red shoes, bracelet / pantofi, bratara – random brand

denim jacket - Wrangler

Ombre hair – carbon black tips

Hello guys! Sorry for missing in action for so long, I’ve been away for Easter and felt like taking a break from pretty much everything! But I’m back and ready to face the hundreds of emails that have been piling up in my inbox this last week.

I received a tone of questions about my hair and the change I made recently. I guess I should start with that!

It was something spontaneous, I wanted a change, I had a voucher to this salon called Tribute and I went there with no expectations!

The surprise was that the place was actually amazing and the personal was super nice and welcoming. As a side note, all the guys working there were total eye candies and I’m talking top shelf eye candy :)))) – too bad I didn’t have my camera with me! Not important for the purpose of the visit, but enjoyable all the same. 

 

I told them I wanted a sort of an ombre effect but something shocking, a crazy color like dark blue or fuchsia. George Soare explained to me that would be very damaging for my hair because they would have to discolor my hair 7 or 8 shades down, besides it would have lasted a very short time so I went for carbon black instead. I think it looks great on my chestnut hair!

The only thing is I have to straighten my hair as they did at the salon for a full effect – if I sport my usual tousled hairdo it doesn’t really pop. I think the way you choose your hair straightener  is very important as I’m not very patient with this kind of things and so I need something very good and fast to achieve the same look at home in 5 minutes.

And yes, I do believe you can end up with a similar result at home, just don't do it by yourself, ask a friend to help you with the dye part at least!

Underneath the surface

I think the value of  great lingerie in an outfit is mostly understated.

Even if this is a part of our look that's not really on the display I personally consider it to be crucial both in the way  our clothes "hang" on us as well as in our degree of comfort and confidence in what we are wearing.

So I'm always on the hunt for an amazing bra - right now I'm interested in strapless and halter neck numbers because the summer is so close and I'm so set on wearing dresses.

I already have a wishlist in mind and the dresses to go with!

Pastels and a butterfly tattoo

There are some days when you feel you have to dress like a marshmallow and I’m having a lot of days like that lately. I blame it on the weather! 

On the other hand wearing those shoes was all me! Sure they look hot, but, man, they are pretty much hell on earth to walk in. I had to take them off after half an hour because my heart was bleeding with so much pain. 

I think I need at least 6 more months to forget the experience and give them another try.

Thank God the rest of the outfit was very comfortable! I went with happy colors: a turquoise polo t-shirt, minty tights, a pink leather jacket and a cute pleated skirt! 

I don’t usually go for small purses but this polka dots number was too adorable and I gave into temptation.

One thing you have to know about me is that I love tattoos as long as they are tasteful or intresting - I’m really not into tramp stamps.

But as much as I like a guy or girl with lots of tattoos I’m not ready to get one done, I get bored with things fast and I’m afraid I wouldn’t like it anymore after a while. Also inflicting pain on myself is not something I look for!

So I was super excited when the guys over at Fake Tattoos sent me some cool temporary tattoos to play with.  I started slow with a small butterfly on my wrist – it looks very pretty and it was pain free. I’m going to experiment more with the tattoos I got in the future and I promise to show them all to you!

  I’m wearing:

skirt/ fusta - random brand
tights, shoes/ ciorapi, pantofi - New Look

 leather jacket/ geaca piele - New Yorker

tshirt/ tricou – random brand

rings/inele - H&M and Koton

sunglasses/ ochelari - Asos
