Ethnic Influences

It's been so long since I last wore this vest, I think there are over 9 years. It is an unique piece, you won't find an identical one in the world (and no I'm not exaggerating, I'm really not, not this time at least). Why am I saying that, well first because it's a vintage vest, it has over 40 years and was made by my mother, yup she sewn every tiny little flower that you can see on it (unfortunately I don't have pictures from the back, I'll make a post about this later, it has pants also with flowers at the end, but they don't fit me, I'm so so fat :|). I always loved it, mostly because it's very fitted, but for the way the flower print was made also. I won't be able to make something like this ever, I'm too lazy to sew all the flowers. With the crochet dress from H&M (you can still find it in stores, even though almost an year has passed since I bought it) combined resembles with the Romanian traditional costumes in a way (not literally).

By the way these past days I went into crazy mode, bought alot of stuff, so stay tuned to see what is new in my closet (from sales and new collections).

A trecut atata timp de cand n'am mai purtat vesta asta, cred ca mai bine de 9 ani. E o piesa unica, nu o sa mai gasiti una identica in lume (si zau ca nu ma dau mare/exagerez, nu de data asta cel putin :D). De ce spun asta, ei bine, in primul rand pentru ca este o vesta vintage, cred ca are mai bine de 40 de ani si a fost facuta de mama mea, da fiecare floare de la cea mai mica la cea mai mare a fost cusuta de ea (din pacate nu am imagini cu spatele, dar am sa fac un post candva in care sa o vedeti mai bine cu tot cu detalii, are si pantaloni, da e costum de fapt, care nu ma incap, tragedie mare, si au si ei marginile la fel de inflorate). Am iubit vesta asta de cand am vazut'o, adica pe cand aveam in jur de 11-12 ani cred (au tinut'o ascunsa ai mei, sa nu care cumva sa ii fac ceva), si in principal pentru ca este cambrata, dar si pentru imprimeu, imi place mult cum e asezat. Eu una n'am sa fiu in stare in veci sa fac asa ceva, nu de alta, dar n'am pic de rabdare sa stau sa cos, ma irita inclusiv cusaturile mici (pot sa sper ca undeva tarziu la batranete poate o sa trag de mine sa crosetez sau sa cos ceva, cand eram mai mica coseam tot felul de prostii, adica flori, animalute, chiar si crosetam, se pare ca pe masura ce inaintezi in varsta te prostesti :))). Nu'i asa ca aduce un pic a costum popular modern (nu o luati chiar literal acum) combinata cu rochia de la H&M (inca mai e in magazine daca va vine sa credeti, desi eu am cumparat'o anul trecut prin martie parca).

Apropo in ultimele zile am tot cumparat diverse chestii (m'a cuprins nebunia cumparaturilor, am inceput cu ceaiurile, trecut prin accesorrii, haine si ajuns la carti), asa ca fiti pe faza ca am sa fac niste posturi cu lucrurile noi din sifonier si nu numai.

Baroque Print and Studded Leather

Finally a post about my personal style!!! I've been so lazy lately, after finishing with exams and all, I've isolated myself in my home and I've been hibernating like a bear sleeping alot, drinking teas (my new obsession, I have tones in my house and still buying them, yeah a bit crazy I know), watching all kinds of tv shows and movies and mostly doing nothing all day long, not even writing a tiny little thing on my blog. I feel so guilty all of a sudden! By the way, I found a new tv show (yes in my laziness, I'm surfing the Internet at least, and that because I get bored), called "Smash", which is awesome! I hate musicals (and I'm not a big fan of "Glee") and this show is about the making of a musical about Marilyn Monroe (you see what I mean, but....)! I was sceptical about it, but I gave it a chance, and that was the best thing I could do! The show is great, not at all the typical musical, you have some great songs here and there sung by people who have amazing voices, but about the work that goes behind making a musical, the behind the scenes and all! You should try it, I promise that you won't regret it!

Now about my outfit. 

As you all know from my previous post, I love baroque :D and when I saw this trousers at Zara, well, I had to have them! Also I was searching for a leather jacket for about two years now, wasn't able to find something on my taste or something to fit me, and also in a normal price range, cuz lately the prices, on almost every store, for leather jackets are over the top, but this one fits all the criteria.

In sfarsit un post despre stilul meu personal!!! Am cazut intr'o stare de leneveala dupa ce am terminat cu examenele, m'am baricadat in casa la propriu si am hibernat ca un urs dormit foarte mult, baut ceaiuri (am facut o adevarata obsesie pentru ele, am o groaza acum si tot cumpar, o doza mica de nebunie nu? :))), urmarit tot felul de seriale si filme, in mare n'am facut si nu fac inca nimic toata ziua, nici macar nu scriu un rand mic la blog. Dintr'o data m'au cuprins remuscarile! Apropo, am descoperit un serial nou (da cu toata lenea in care m'am cufundat mai reusesc sa navighez pe internet, din plictiseala nu de alta), ma rog are un an deja, dar surprinzator l'am ratat, nu stiu cum. Se numeste "Smash" si e absolut genial!!! De fel urasc musicalurile, nu le suport (pana si "Glee" ma calca pe nervi) si show'ul asta, culmea, este despre un musical inspirat din viata lui Marilyn Monroe (cred ca asta m'a atras la el). Am fost sceptica (vedeti cat de mult imi displac...dar...), dar i'am dat o sansa, si tare bine am facut! Serialul e grozav, nu este deloc musicalul tipic, clasic ca sa spun asa, ai cantece foarte bune pe ici pe colo, cantate de oameni cu voci superbe, ci este despre munca depusa pentru producerea unui musical, ce se intampla in spatele scenelor si chestii de genul (deci nu o sa'i vedeti pe actori cantand si topaind tot serialul, slava domnului :D)!! Ar trebui sa'l incercati, promit ca nu o sa regretati (sau daca da, nu ma injurati va rog :P)!

Si acum despre tinuta mea.

Dupa cum ati vazut in postul trecut, iubesc barocul :D si cand am vazut pantalonii astia la Zara, si dupa ce i'am probat si mi'au venit, am crezu ca mi'a pus Dumnezeu mana in cap :)) Evident ca a trebuit sa'i cumpar! Apoi de vreo doi ani tot imi caut o jacketa de piele si nu gasesc, sunt ori prea mari, ori manecile prea lungi (am mainile tare scurte, serios), fie sunt ingrozitor de urate sau exorbitant de scumpe, in ultima vreme au niste preturi de te uiti crucis! Dar asta a fost si rezonabila ca pret, mi'a venit si bine, are si tinte, e si stylish ce pot sa cer mai mult (tot de la Zara)!!! 

Flowers and Lace

Hey guys and Happy New Year to everyone!

A long time no see would be good right now, but I'll skip it this time :D The exams are starting soon for me and I have tones of essays to write and my little blog will have to suffer a bit because of that :( But today I have a quick post with my outfit from V for Vintage fair, I hope you'll like it. I also was featured here when I wore this outfit => Atelier Perwoll (I'm sorry the article is in romanian so...)

Salutare si un An Nou Fericit tuturor!

Iar a trecut ceva vreme de la ultimul post, dar n'am sa intru in amanunte de data aceasta :D Examenele se apropie rapid si am o tona de referate de facut (ca in mare la master cam in asta constau examenele), iar blogul va avea de suferit din nou :( Insa azi un post rapid cu tinuta de la targul V for Vintage, care sper eu sa va placa. Am facut si subiectul unui mic articol cand am purtat aceasta tinuta, il gasiti aici => Atelier Perwoll.

The Good Old Sunny Days

These pictures were taken a while ago, when the weather was just right in Bucharest, not too hot, not too cold! I think they were taken the day that I went to the Fashion Bazaar Fair. So taking a break from the holidays, I'm going back in the past when everything was green and the sun was shinny (that sounds a bit cheesy). And finally another post about me and my personal style! Even though I have alot of pictures to show you guys, time is a huge problem with me, cuz I have to select what to show you, and correct them a bit if it's necessary, and put my trademark there too, so....Yeah, but I'm coming back slowly now, you'll see much more of me from now on!

 Pozele astea au fost facute in urma cu vreo 2 luni cred, cand vremea era numai potrivita in Bucuresti, nici prea cald sa te sufoci intr'o rochie ca asta pe care o port, nici prea frig, ca sa tremuri! Cred ca au fost facute in ziua in care am fost la targul Fashion Bazaar. Asa ca hai sa luam o pauza de la toata agitatia asta specifica sarbatorilor si sa ne intoarcem un pic in trecut cand totul era verde si soarele stralucea puternic (uite cata inspiratie si cat spirit poetic pe capul meu). Si in sfarsit un post despre mine si numai despre mine (si vremea frumoasa de atunci, pe langa) si stilul meu personal! Chiar daca pe langa pozele astea, in ultimele 2 luni am mai facut si altele ca sa va arat, timpul este o problema fundamentala la mine (la care mai adaugam si o doza mare de lene), pentru ca tb sa selectez pozele, sa le aranjez un pic daca e nevoie si sa imi pun acolo si trademark'ul, asa ca...Dar incetul cu incetul revin in prim plan, si veti vedea mai multe despre mine si cu mine de acum inainte :D

Let's Call Them Snapshots

Here are a couple of pictures of me during my short trip, not taken to be put on my blog as outfit pictures, just normal photos. I'm showing them to you just to make an idea as what my outfit (well a part of it, I don't really have a head to toe photo) looked like. I should mention that I don't really wear sweaters and what I had on me were practically my warmest clothes :D But I wasn't cold, it was ok.

Azi am sa va arat cateva poze cu mine din scurta excursie pe care am facut'o saptamana trecuta in Brasov. Nu va imaginati ca sunt poze wow, special facute pentru a fi puse pe blog pentru a va arata tinuta, nici pe departe, sunt fotografii normale (adevarul e ca la cat de obosita eram numai de poze de pus pe blog nu'mi ardea :))). Vi le arat ca sa va faceti o idee cam cum arata tinuta mea din ziua respectiva (si cum aratam eu dupa doar 3ore de somn :D). N'am poze din cap pana'n picioare, asa ca tin sa mentionez ca aveam blugi drepti si ghete in partea de jos, ceva normal pentru munte. Si astea sunt cele mai groase haine ale mele, eu nu port pullovere (sunt certata cu ele, dar cred ca ar tb sa ma impac :))). Oricum nu mi'a fost frig, in Brasov nu sufla "crivatul" ca in Bucuresti de te ia pe sus la propriu.

First Snow

Winter is here! I can't say I'm happy with the cold weather, sure the snow on trees looks awesome in pictures but it doesn't really feel that great. As you can see I'm not a big fan of winter and cold days.

Last week I had to go to Brasov (a really nice town here in Romania) with some business. So thursday morning after sleeping like 3 hours or so (I watched a movie and lost track of time and went to sleep at 2:30am and woke up around 5:30am) and  running like crazy through the house doing my luggage, straightening my hair, doing my make up, shower and all the other stuff we girls have to do (and after I changed my bag with another one cuz the first wasn't big enough for all the crazy stuff I was bringing with me) I went out the door with like 50minutes before the train was leaving. And imagine me with my laptop bag on one shoulder and a small bag over it and the big bag with all my stuff going like crazy after busses and the subway and finally getting to the train station at 8:17am :D I was happy, I could buy my ticket and catch the train! Well, I forgot to mention that I haven't traveled by train in like forever :D And as I was asking for my train ticket, the lady from the ticket center or how you call it said to me that the train is beeing late. I was thinking like 15-20minutes or so, oh how I was mistaken, it was like one hour. I was a bit in awe, but thought to myself well one hour is not that much so I went to McDonalds and grabbed a milkshake and something to eat. I stayed in there for a while and eventually went to see how long till the train arrive. The time went from one hour to 85minutes, I thought I was going to be sick (to wait in cold weather it's not that great, forgot to tell you that in Bucharest that morning were like 2degrees). So I waited but the time frame was getting bigger, it went up to 105minutes and then to 115minutes and eventually the train arrived. I got to Brasov, where it snowed already and the mountains and everything was white (I have pictures), solved my stuff and then hanged out with my cousin till late. I went back to Bucharest the next evening with a train that arrived and left in time (thank god).

So not a post about me and fashion (well mostly about me, not about fashion), but with really nice pictures. Enjoy!

A venit iarna! Nu suport vremea rece de fel, sigur zapada pe copaci arata genial in poze, dar frigul nu se simte la fel de bine pe piele. Dupa cum vedeti nu sunt mare fan al iernii si vremii reci.

Si acum legat de prima zapada si contactul meu cu ea pe anul asta. Saptamana trecuta a trebuit sa dau o fuga pana in Brasov cu ceva treaba. Asa ca joi de dimineata, dupa ce dormisem doar 3 ore (m'am apucat sa ma uit la un film si am lungit'o aiurea, m'am bagat in pat pe la 2:30 si m'am trezit in jur de 5:30 ca sa prind trenul) si dupa ce m'am invartit aiurea prin casa facand bagajul, indreptandu'mi parul, machiajul, dus si restul de chestii pe care le facem noi fetele si care ne iau o groaza de vreme (ah, si dupa ce am schimbat geanta cu alta, pentru ca in prima nu incapeau toate prostiile pe care le'am carat cu mine pentru 2 zile :D) am reusit sa ies pe usa, intr'un final, cu vreo 50 de minute inainte sa plece trenul :)) Si imaginati'va, eu cu o geanta de laptop atarnand pe o parte si cu alta geanta mica peste ea, si cu bagajul in cealalta mana, alergand dupa autobuz (plin pana la refuz) si metrou si ajungand in gara la 8:17, record jur. Eram tare fericita de realizare, si asa fericita cum eram eu m'am dus sa cumpar biletul, logic, si tanti de la bilete mi'a spus ca intarzie trenul. Bun, ma gandeam ca undeva la 15-20minute sau ceva de genul, dar nu, intarzia o ora. Eram un pic socata, dar na e Romania, e ceva normal :)), asa ca m'am dus pana la Mec sa imi iau un shake si ceva sa mananc. Am stat acolo cat am stat, m'am plictisit pana la urma si am zis sa ma duc sa vad cat mai e pana vine trenul. Si ce sa vezi, de la 60minute, a ajuns la 85, mi'a picat fata efectiv (adica era frig afara si in gara nu e cald ca e in aer liber, dupa cum stiti, si in dimineata aia erau vreo 2 grade in Bucuresti, groaznic). Am asteptat, dar asteptarea mea s'a intins la 105minute, apoi la 115 si intr'un final a aparut si trenul. Am reusit sa ajung si in Brasov pe la un 1 si un pic, unde ninsese deja si muntii, copacii si totul erau inveliti in alb (tare pitoresc, am poze!!!), mi'am rezolvat treburile si apoi am pierdut vremea prin oras cu varul meu pana tarziu. M'am intors seara urmatoare in Bucuresti cu un tren care a ajuns in gara si a plecat la timp (slava domnului)!

Asa ca de data asta nu este un post despre mine si moda (bine este despre mine, dar nu despre moda), dar un post cu imagini frumoase!
