Black and White - Animal Print

Hello there!

So I haven't posted anything with my personal style for a while now and it's about time to do a post with me :D These pictures where taken after the Absolutely Fabulous vintage fair (so they are like 1 month and a half old, something like that) in the historical center in Bucharest. The outfit was composed of an old Zara blouse (I think I bought it like 3 years ago and wore it twice, even though I love it so much, I don't know why I'm not wearing it more) and a leopard print dress made skirt by me (hated how it looked as a dress and never wear it so I had to transform it or get rid of it, I chose the first one and I think I made a really good choice) as main pieces. The accessories aren't that many, I wanted a cameo necklace, but changed my mind. I went for an old-new look (the victorian style blouse and the leopard print skirt) and I felt really good in it. Enough with the chat, I don't want you to get bored! So enjoy the photos (well I hope you'll enjoy)!

P.S.: I know one of my earings is torn, but I saw that too late and couldn't do the pics all over again!

N'am mai postat poze cu stilul meu personal de ceva vreme si cred ca este timpul sa fac un post in care eu sa fiu in cetrul atentiei :D Pozele astea au fost facute imediat dupa targul vintage Absolutely fabulous (asa ca au cam o luna si jumatate vechime, ceva de genul) in centrul istoric din Bucuresti. Tinuta a fost alcatuita dintr'o bluza Zara (veche de vreo 3 ani, purtata de vreo 2 ori, nu stiu de ce o port asa de rar avand in vedere ca e una din piesele mele preferate) si o fosta rochie cu print de leopard transformata in fusta de catre mine (ca rochie am urat'o la propriu, nu stiu de ce am cumparat'o, asa ca aveam 2 optiuni fie o transform, fie o arunc, am ales prima varianta si cred ca am facut o alegere tare buna) ca piese principale. Accesoriile nu sunt foarte multe, vroiam sa adaug un lant cu pandantiv cameo, dar m'am razgandit. Am mers pe ideea unul look nou/vechi (bluza in stil victorian si fusta cu imprimeu de leopard) si chiar m'am simtit bine in tinuta asta. De ajuns cu vorba, nu vreau sa va plictisesc, asa ca va las sa va bucurati de poze (sper sa va placa)!

P.S.: Stiu ca un cercel e intors, dar am vazut abia dupa ce am facut pozele si nu aveam rabdarea necesara sa le fac din nou!

London Fashion Week - Spring/Summer 2013 Selections - Part 2

Today I'm back with the 2nd part of the London Fashion Week selections. You'll see some great pictures from Vivienne Westwood Red Label's show (a very interesting collection, you'll know why when you see the pictures, from the clothes to the make-up the models look like fashionable grannies :D), from Temperly London, Willow, Antonio Berardi, Todd Lynn and Christopher Kane. For me the most appealing collections were from Vivienne Westwood, Temperly London and Willow, the rest kinda look the same and don't have that special feel, maybe because are very comercial, after all we are speaking about ready to wear. 

Astazi ma intorc cu cea de-a 2a parte a selectiilor din ceea ce a insemnat London Fashion Week. Veti vedea poze geniale din prezentarea lui Vivienne Westwood Red Label (o colectie tare interesanta, o sa puteti observa asta si voi cand veti vedea imaginile, incepand de la haine si pana la machiaj, modelele arata ca niste bunicute moderne :D), precum si din prezentarile lui Temperly London, Antonio Berardi, Todd Lynn si Christopher Kane. Pentru mine cele mai bune si interesante colectii, din aceasta selectie, au fost cele ale lui Vivienne Westwood, Temperly London si Willow, celelalte mi s'au parut un pic banale, le lipsea acel ceva, poate si pentru ca sunt foarte comerciale, totusi este vorba despre pret-a-porter.

London Fashion Week - Spring/Summer 2013 Selections - Part 1

Hello there!

I've been out of the scene for the past week and haven't updated my blog with anything! But I'm back with selections from the collections presented at London Fashion Week. I can't say I've been impressed with what the designers showed for this season, I've liked better New York Fashion Week, but I have a couple of pieces that I like from London as well. My favorite collections are by far from Issa London, Giles, Vivienne Westwood  Red Label, Temperly London and Fashion Fringe. Today I'll show you some pieces from Issa London's collection (a very colourful collection I might say filled with asian details), from Gilles, Fashion Fringe, Osman, Matthew Williamson and Emilio de la Morena. I hope you'll like my selections.

Am disparut din "lumina reflectoarelor" in ultima saptamana si nu am mai updatat blogul. Dar m'am intors, si nu cu mana goala, ci cu material pentru posturi noi. Astazi veti vedea o parte din cele mai bune colectii de la London Fashion Week (in opinia mea evident) si maine restul. Nu pot sa spun ca am fost impresionata de piesele pe care le'au aratat designerii londonezi pentru sezonul primavara-vara 2013, personal mi'a placut mai mult New York Fashion Week, dar sunt cateva piese care mi'au atras atentia si la saptamana modei din Londra. Colectiile mele preferate, de departe, apartin lui Issa London, Giles, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, Temperly London si Fashion Fringe. Azi veti vedea piese din colectia Issei London (o colectie plina de culoare si incarcata cu elemente de inspiratie asiatica), Gilles, Fashion Fringe, Osman, Matthew Williamson si Emilio de la Morena. Sper sa va placa selectiile mele.

Flower Power

This is by far the ugliest day from the last 3-4months! It started raining last night around 10pm and never stopped, it's still raining. Today I've had my master admission exam, not the best experience of my life I might say, but I'm happy that it's finished, if I enter that program it will be nice, but if not I have another master where I could go. For this ugly day, I have photos from a sunny one, that reminds me of the summer that just passed. This is one of my favorite dresses mostly because of the print (I adore flower prints) and the fact that it doesn't make me look big or stuff like that, if you know what I mean, and also it's very comfortable.

Ziua de astazi este de departe ce'a mai urata din ultimele 3-4 luni! A inceput sa ploua noaptea trecuta pe la ora 10 si nu s'a mai oprit, inca ploua! Azi am avut si examenul de admitere la masterat, nu cea mai placuta experienta din viata asta, insa sunt fericita ca a trecut. Daca intru la programul respectiv bine, daca nu am alt masterat la care ma pot duce. Asa ca pentru ziua asta mohorata am pregatit poze dintr'o zi frumoasa si calduroasa, care imi aminteste de vara ce tocmai a trecut. Aceasta este una dintre rochiile mele preferate, in special datorita imprimeului (iubesc imprimeurile florale) si pentru ca nu ma face sa par enorma in ea sau ceva de genul asta, daca stiti la ce ma refer, si pe deasupra este si extrem de confortabila.

 

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 - Selections - Part 2

I'm back with the 2nd part of the NYFW Selections! In this post you'll be seeing collections from Oscar de la Renta, Reem Acra, Marchesa, Vera Wang and Zac Posen! These designers I think they have the most gorgeous gowns from all the collections from NYFW, you'll love them. 

M'am intors cu ce'a de'a 2a parte a postului NYFW Selections! Veti vedea, de aceasta data, piese din colectiile lui Oscar de la Renta, Reem Acra, Marchesa, Vera Wang si Zac Posen! Cred ca de departe, dintre toate show'urile de la NYFW, acesti designeri au cele mai frumoase rochii! Au sa va placa in mod deosebit!

New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 2013 - Selections Part 1

So I've gathered some of the best collection that I've seen at NYFW and divided them into 2 parts, because there are so many beautiful garments to show you guys! Unfortunately I have some time management issues and I can't make reviews for them! In this post you'll be seeing selections from Anna Sui, Badgley and Mischka, Catherine Malandrino, Donna Karan and Nanette Lepore. You'll see that their styles are very different from Victorian-grunge-punk to very feminine pieces. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did while selecting them.

Am adunat cele mai bune colectii pe care le'am vazut la NYFW si le'am impartit in 2 parti, pentru ca sunt atatea piese superbe pe care vreau sa vi le arat! Din pacate in perioada asta nu stau foarte bine la capitolul timp liber si nu pot sa scriu cate ceva despre fiecare in parte! In acest post veti vedea selectii din colectiile lui Anna Sui, Badgley&Mischka, Catherine Malandrino, Donna Karan si Nanette Lepore. Veti observa ca stilurile lor sunt tare diferite pornind de la piese inspirate din stilul Victorian-grunge-punk si terminand cu unele foarte feminine. Sper ca au sa va incante privirea la fel de mult cum mi'au incantat'o mie cand le'am selectat.

Carolina Herrera's Spring/Summer 2013 - One Word - Refinement

 

The moment you see this collection, you know it's Carolina Herrera! Elegant silhouettes and shirts with very masculine collars, you know it's her. I love this collection and the show for me was the best from New York Fashion Week, the movement of the models and the clothes went so well with the music, a modern adaptation of the piece "Sisters of the Moon" of Fleetwood Mac from 1979. The light colours, white and icy blue went amazing with this song, the orange lace and black tulle as well. Very few powerful colours (orange, black and a silver gray) and many subtle ones, made this collection full of refinement and femininity. The long skirts and dresses, the skirts over the ankle, the brocade print and the small belts, compliment the finesse of this collection, which reminds me of the women's fashion from 1910. 

If Diane von Furstenberg's collection was a bohemian one, this is extremely elegant! Two different designers, two different collection, but one single fact: for me they showed themselves in their collections the best out of all the designers there!

In momentul in care vezi aceasta colectie, stii ca este vorba de Carolina Herrera! Siluete elegante si camasi cu gulere masculine, stii ca este ea. Ador aceasta colectie, iar show'ul pentru mine a fost cel mai bun dintre toate ce au fost prezentate la New York Fashion Week, miscarea modelelor si a hainelor au fost intr'o armonie totala cu muzica, o adaptare moderna a piesei "Sisters of the Moon" de la Fleetwood Mac din anul 1979. Culorile deschise, alb si albastru inghetat s'au potrivit perfect cu aceasta melodie, dantela portocalie si tulleul negru de asemenea. Foarte putine culori puternice (portocaliu, negru si gri metalizat) si multe culori subtile au facut din aceasta colectie una plina de rafinament si feminitate. Fustele si rochiile lungi, fustele deasupra gleznei, imprimeul din brocard si curelele subtiri, au complimentat finetea acestei colectii, care imi aminteste de moda anilor 1910.

Daca colectia lui Diane von Furstenberg a fost una boema, aceasta este una extrem de eleganta! Doi designeri diferiti, doua colectii diferite, insa un lucru il au in comun: pentru mine sunt designeri care si'au expus cel mai bine stilul si pe ei insisi in colectiile lor fata de toti ceilalti designeri prezenti la saptamana modei din New York.
