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)!!! 

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.

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!

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.

 

Swallow Print

I was obsessed with this print for a while and wasn't able to find anything in the stores! Seen many pieces with this type of pattern in online shops, but I wasn't sure of the fabric and if the clothes will look good on me, you know stuff like that. But thank god, H&M exists and while I was looking through the store found this really cute dress with the swallow print! So guess what, I bought it! And I think I made a great choice, because it's very versatile! Here I'm wearing it in a more casual look, maybe if the fall doesn't come so fast I'll have the chance to show it to you in a more elegant outfit.

De o groaza de vreme am fost (si inca sunt) obsedata de hainele cu imprimeu de randunica pe ele si din pacate nu reuseam sa gasesc nimic prin magazinele de la noi! Evident se gaseau o multime de haine cu imprimeul asta in magazinele online, dar sincer nu eram foarte sigura nici de material, nici de masura, daca nu'mi venea bine ce faceam, stiti voi ce zic aici. Dar slava domnului ca exista H&M (desi la inceput n'am fost mare fan, nici acum nu ma pot numi, dar mai gasesc unele chestii dragute) si cum ma plimbam eu prin magazin vad intr'un colt rochia asta cu imprimeu de randunele pe ea! Evident ca am fost extra fericita si am cumparat'o fara sa stau pe ganduri. Si cred ca am facut o alegere tare buna, pentru ca este foarte versatila. Aici spre exemplu o port intr-o tinuta ceva mai casual, si poate daca nu vine vremea rea asa repede o sa am sansa sa v'o arat si intr'o tinuta mai eleganta.

 

Look how big this glass is! And it was full of pineapple lemonade!

Vedeti ce mare e paharul! A fost plin cu limonada de ananas!

While It's Still Sunny

The summer ended, as well as my vacation (well literally speaking - I'm still free, but have to write an essay, read some books, you know stuff like that for my master admission - such a blast). But I'm not sad, at least it's warm and sunny outside and I can still sleep till noon! So another quick post with the outfit that I had at my graduation this summer!

Uite asa s'a dus si vara, cu tot cu vacanta mea (teoretic sunt inca in vacanta, practic nu prea - trebuie sa scriu un eseu, sa citesc niste carti, chestii de genul asta, stiti voi la ce ma refer, pt. admiterea la master - e tare "distractiv"). Da nu este asa un capat de tara, sa privim partea buna a lucrurilor, afara e inca soare si cald si macar pot sa dorm pana pe la pranz! Asa ca un post rapid cu tinuta pe care am purtat'o la festivitatea de absolvire din vara asta!

Asymmetrical Lace Dress

Hello there!

Today I'm going to post an outfit from like 2months ago, with the dress that I wore at my graduation prom. It's not something very fancy, I don't really like the typical dress that all the girls wear for this type of occasions, I like more comfortable clothes, especialy for long nights :D Before founding this dress I was quite stresses out, cause I didn't had the time to go to look for something and I wasn't in the mood either, also I wanted something cheap (cuz I hate buying expensive clothes, wear them once and after that keeping them in the closet and never wear them again), so good luck with that. But, one day while I was looking for a day dress for this summer, I've entered a bit at H&M just to see what they had new there, and in a corner I saw this dress, well actualy I saw lace, and when I see lace I can't see anything else :D The colour wasn't exactly on my taste, but I couldn't find it in another colour so I thought I should try it, no harm from that no. So I did that, and well it looked good, was cheap (only 28$ / 22euros, can u believe it!!!), was made out of lace, so I bought it, after all I had some time to buy something else if by any chance I would have changed my mind.

That's the story behind this dress, the other stuff that I wore I already had it in my closet, except the necklace that I bought it a week before the prom.

So nothing very fancy, pretty comfortable, I hope you like it!

Azi am sa postez o tinuta de acum 2 luni, mai exact rochia pe care am purtat'o la balul de absolvire (urasc atat de mult cuvantul "bal", suna foarte chicios in mintea mea). Nu e ceva pretentios sau extra elegant, personal nu ma omor dupa rochiile standard care se poarta pe la genul asta de evenimente, multe sunt asa de chicioase, zici ca esti la nunta (nu sunt mare fan al nuntilor), prefer rochiile ceva mai comode, mai ales daca trebuie sa stai o noapte intreaga in ea :D Inainte sa gasesc rochia asta, am fost tare stresata, pentru ca nu aveam nici timp nici chef sa alerg dupa rochii, si vroiam si ceva ieftin (asta pentru ca urasc sa cumpar haine scumpe, sa le port o singura data si dupa sa le tin in sifonier si sa se puna praful pe ele). Clar aveam niste cerinte imense! Dar intr'o zi, in timp ce cautam o alta rochie, asta pentru o zi calduroasa de vara, mi s'a pus pata ca vreau rochie lunga, si daca ti se pune pata...cu totii stim cum e :D Si cum tot eram prin mall, am zis sa trec si pe la H&M sa vad ce mai au nou, si intr'un colt am vazut rochia asta, de fapt am vazut multa dantela, si cand vad dantela, nu mai vad nimic altceva :D Culoarea nu era tocmai din gama mea de culori, dar n'am gasit'o in alta culoare, asa ca am probat'o asa cum era. Spre surprinderea mea chiar pica bine pe mine si cum era ieftina (doar 99lei daca va vine sa credeti) si mai ales era din dantela, am cumparat'o, eventual daca nu vroiam sa o port la bal, aveam timp sa cumpar altceva.

Asta e povestea din spatele rochiei, celelalte chestii pe care le'am purtat se gaseau deja in sifonier, mai putin pandantivul pe care l'am cumparat cu o saptamana inainte de petrecere.

Asa ca nimic extravagant, destul de comfortabil, sper sa va placa!
