Ethnic Blouse & The Village Museum

Hello, ladies! I hope you had a relaxing weekend! Today I've spent a quiet and very pleasant day at the Village Museum. I haven't visited this beautiful place since my childhood years, so it was lovely to be here again :) The museum looked wonderful and the old traditional houses reminded me of my summer vacations spent at my grandparents' house, in the countryside. I will be definitely returning again to this museum since I had such a nice and relaxing time.

Moving on to the outfit I wore, I chose a loose ethnic blouse from Mango, which in a way reminded me of our national traditional costume, a pair of light blue jeans and some cute and feminine sandals (both items are from Zara). Th reason for which I chose a casual clutch instead of a bag is because it was very hot and I didn't want to carry anything heavy or really close to my body (if that makes sense). I love how this coral clutch from Accessorize offers the much needed pop of colour to my outfit. 

So here you have it, a casual easy breezy outfit. Make sure you check all the photos for some nice shots of the traditional houses you can find in the museum. 

Have a great week!

Tennis Outfit - Day One

What's this? Could this be a new outfit post?? I am probably as amazed as you are that I finally took some outfit photos :)) This is what I wore a few days ago to a tennis match, when the weather was still normal and hadn't decided to skip spring like it did today when we had around 28 degrees. In the past years, when I went to tennis tournaments I wore feminine and smart casual outfits, but this year I decided to let my sporty side out and I really loved the results.

Anyway, this outfit was really simple but I loved how all the pieces looked when put together. This is my new denim jacket from Mango and I'm obsessed with it. I want to wear it all the time and with every clothing piece I own. I also love how the red scarf made this outfit really pop. This is definitely one of my favourite posts!

Have a wonderful weekend and see you soon with my tennis outfit no. 2!

Spring is Here!

 

 

Hello girls! I know it's been a while since I last posted, but here I am again with a spring outfit post :D We had a lovely weather last weekend so I decided to play the tourist in my own city and take a long walk in the old city centre. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and took some pictures of my favourite places in Bucharest. I'll show you some of them in a future post, I promise :)

 

I also took some outfit pictures since I was wearing a bit of colour, perfect for a sunny spring day. I couldn't pass the opportunity of wearing my bright scarf from Zara, which I bought last summer and which was perfect for the occasion. The mint jumper is a recent buy from H&M. I love this colour I couldn't wait to show it to you. I'm pretty sure they still have it in the shops, so if you like it too, run to your nearest H&M and try it on :) The rest...you've seen it before in previous posts, except maybe the leather jacket. I adore it! It's so soft and the colour is perfect. It's definitely in my top 5 favourite clothing pieces.

 



Scarf - Zara

Jumper - H&M

Leather jacket - from my trip to Rome

I practically lived in this jegging this winter. They are the most comfortable pair of pants I own. This is why they appear in all of my outfit posts. Just felt the need to point that out :))

Anyway, have a lovely rest of the week!

Jumper Overload

 

Hello girls! Today I wanted to talk to you about my latest obsession, namely jumpers....I don't know about you, but I think that pretty jumpers are really hard to find. During the past few years I've been so frustrated by the fact that I couldn't find any jumper which I really loved. All of them were boring and really short. I like my jumpers long and loose, by the way :D

 

But this winter everything changed and the shops were full with pretty knits. Heaven! I don't know what happened but I am really happy that I managed to buy some gorgeous jumpers this season. These four jumpers which I am going to show you in this post were purchased in the past month and I love each and every one of them.

 

The blue deep hem jumper is from Asos and you've seen it before in this post, so there's not much to say about it, apart from the fact that I love its design.

The second one with the flower details is from Topshop and it's my favourite from the bunch. I love how feminine and chic it looks thanks to the beading and the flower details. I also love the colour combinations and the fact that the material feels really luxurious and qualitative.

The mint jumper is from H&M and it is also one of my favourite jumpers. I like the colour so much and the loose fit. It will be perfect for spring. I can't wait to wear it!

The last jumper was bought during the Zara sales, so I'm not sure if they still have it. You've previously seen it in this post. I love to wear it with a shirt underneath or with an oversized scarf.
 

How gorgeous are these details on the Topshop jumper?

 

I can't wait to include the other two jumpers in some outfit posts! Do you have any favourite?

 

Have a wonderful week! x

Outfit Post: Draped Hem Jumper

Hello beautiful ladies! What have you been up to lately? I've been really busy with work and other projects, and this is why I really neglected blogging. But here I am again, back with an outfit post.

I wanted to show you my newest love, namely this blue jumper from Asos. I ordered it two weeks ago and it came on Monday and I really really really love it. It is very soft and light on the skin, but my favourite thing about it is its draped hem, which is actually the reason for which I bought it in the first place. (If you like the jumper you should know that they also have it in white and black)

 

Anyway, today I went for a bit of shopping with my mum and this is what I decided to wear (btw, you should really visit H&M during this period because they have some really beautiful pieces). I know that my outfits tend to be quite similar, but to be honest this is what I love to wear most during winter: nice jumper, black jeans or jeggins and boots. I think this has become some sort of uniform :))

 

Draped hem jumper - Asos

Necklace - Accessorize

Jeggins - Zara

Black leather bag - Zara

Boots - Il Passo

 

I hope you are having an amazing weekend!

Beaded Denim Shirt

Hello girls! I hope you had a lovely weekend! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but it's really hard for me to post more often since now I have two jobs and my free time can be very limited at times. But you know I love blogging and I will try and post at least once a week. 

Anyway, back to the outfit, this is what I wore today for a bit of sale shopping. The denim shirt is  a recent purchase and it has become one of my favourite items of clothing, mostly thanks to the beaded collar. I'm a sucker for everything which has pearls attached to it, or other feminine subtle details for that matter. Also, my obsession for this Zara bag hasn't faded, since I still feed the need to carry it everywhere I go :)) 

 

Denim shirt - Stradivarius

Jumper - Zara

Leather bag with zips - Zara

I wish you all an amazing week! I'm personally very excited for next week since the European Skating Championships start, and I'm a huge skating fan. So yeah, I'm looking forward to that :)

Au revoir, lovelies x 

What's in My Bag - Winter Edition

 

Hello, girls! I always love reading What's in my bag posts so I though I might as well do one. You know I love bags...you might even say I have an obsession with them, hence when Santa bought me this Zara leather bag with zips, I couldn't be happier. It was a perfect present indeed. It is very spacious, the golden hardware is gorgeous and the shoulder strap can be very handy in case it gets to heavy. So, without further ado, here's what's in my bag!







1. Glamour magazine - I always need to have something to read in my bag, weather a book or a magazine, because I get so bored on the tube when I go to work or into town// 2. My organiser - since I managed to secure a part time job at an online magazine (besides my normal, full time job) I really need to organise my time better. I also use the organiser to write article ideas, various information or certain tasks and meetings// 3. My Blackberry - without which my life wouldn't be complete// 4. Makeup bag (it will be detailed below)// 5. Orbit drops// 6. A pair of leather gloves - during winter I always need to have a pair of gloves in my bag because, obviously, it's freezing and  my hands can become really dry and coarse if I don't take care of them// 7. My purse from Guess which I bought in the summer during my holiday in Rome// 8. Some hand wipes// 9. A little pouch - where I like to keep some Nurofen pills, some bobby pins for my hair, a small sewing kit and some band aids.

 

 

Here is the contents of my makeup bag: 1. Himalaya Lip balm - I have really sensitive lips and I constantly need to hydrate them// 2. Nivea had cream - as I said, during winter my hands can become really dry, this is why I always need to carry a moisturising hand cream in my bag// 3. Lancome Juicy Tube in Lychee// 4. Small version of Moschino's Glamour - sometimes I can be very sleepy in the morning and forget to put on some perfume; this is why I always care a small perfume version with me, so that I can apply perfume later in that day// 5. Clarins face powder - I carry this powder with my because it is very light and soft, perfect for touch ups during the day// 6. A travel size face brush// 7. Small mirror - I have this mirror for about four years. I bought it during a trip to Versailles and it has Marie Antoinette on the lid. This is by far my favourite mirror.

 

So these were the things I carry in my bag on a daily basis. I hope you liked this post and you are going to have a lovely week!

PhoneCam Style Post

Hello sweeties! I really need your opinion on something. As you know, I love fashion and outfit posts, but unfortunately I don't always have the time or mood for proper style posts, shot on location or in high quality. This is why some of my outfit posts are sometimes shot with my phone in my bedroom and my background consists of my bed or my desk or other boring interiors.  Thus, I was thinking that if it's OK with you, I could do more outfit posts shot with my phone, like this one. I know the quality is really poor, but at least there would hopefully be more style posts on the blog. Or would you prefer me to do the regular, more qualitative ones, even though they will be really seldom? I would really appreciate your feedback, so please tell me what you think in the comments box below.

 

Jumper - Love

Bowling bag with zips - Zara

Jeggins - Zara

 

Back to the purpose of this post, this is the outfit I wore a couple of days ago to the movies. I love this heart jumper because besides being a bit on the festive side thanks to its colours, it is also very comfortable and fun. I couldn't resist leaving my new bag at home because I was eager to take it out for a spin since I like it sooo much. I love the fact that it has an additional shoulder strap so that you can wear it on your shoulder if it gets too heavy. Inevitably, it seems that I have another bag crush. Shocking, I know...

 

Anyway, that's it from me now. I hope you are all doing wonderful and you've already written your new year's resolutions! Lots of love x

 

Christmas Snapshots

Hello lovelies and Happy Holidays!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, relaxed a lot and got exactly what you wanted from Santa :) It's kind of funny seeing how the world goes back to the usual routine after Christmas, but at least we still have New Year's Eve to celebrate.

 

For today's post I though I should show you some Christmas snapshots. The last few days consisted in lots of relaxing, over indulging in my favourite Christmas specialities, watching loads of holiday movies and of course, jumping up and down with happiness that Santa came with a bunch of amazing presents!

 

So without further ado, here are the photos:

It was such a huge surprise the fact that I received this gorgeous Zara bowling bag with zips. I had my eyes on it for a few months and I can't believe it's finally mine! I love the golden hardware and the zip details because they make it look so chic and modern. Also the size is perfect because there is enough room to fit all your daily essentials. This was indeed a perfect gift, so thank you Santa :)

That's it from me guys, lots of love x

Bag Perfection

You probably know by now how much I love small sized bags. And when I found this gem on Zara's website it was love at first sight. It has a beautiful structural design, a long chain strap which means you can wear it also across your body, and  you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. As I said...perfection in a bag :)

Indian Summer Nights

 

 

Happy 1st of October, I hope this is going to be an amazing month for all of us! At the moment we are experiencing some sort of a heatwave in Bucharest with temperatures of 30 degrees. I never thought I would be wearing shorts in October and other summary clothes but our weather never ceases to amaze us. I must say I absolutely love this weather but in a way I miss those chilly autumn days and my autumn wardrobe.

 

Anyway, this is what I wore a few days ago to a lovely Lebanese dinner. I know these are not the best of outfit pics but since you can have dinner only in the evening I had to settle with these night time photos. I know this is not a very glamorous outfit but I chose to be more comfortable...more me, hence I chose a pair of denim shorts, ballet flats and a sequined sweater to jazz up my outfit a bit. I love this sweater and I cannot wait to wear it more. Also, if the bag looks familiar to you it's maybe because I have the same one in white, but I loved it so much that I decided to buy the black version also.

 

 

Sweater - Zara

Denim shorts - Stradivarius

Bag - River Island

Flats - Humanic

Bracelet - Accessorize

 

I know this is a rather simple look but I felt great wearing it. I am sure you've noticed by now that I prefer simple outfits and that I am no fashion maverick. But this is my style and I love it nevertheless. Give me a pair of fitted jeans, a nice blouse and some ballet flats and I'm ready to conquer the world :))

Have a beautiful week x



Déjà Vu

 

Hello, beautiful people! Today's OOTD consists of pieces of clothing which you have seen in previous outfit posts, hence the title of "déjà vu". These are some of my favourite pieces and when I like something and feel very comfortable in the respective piece, I tend to wear it...a lot!

 

Yesterday I went to see a movie in the evening and I was pretty tired, thus I chose a very comfy outfit which included a pair of ripped jeans, ballet flats, my new embellished top and my much loved Modalu bag. So yeah, I think this is the perfect type of outfit when you want to go out but want to dress cosy without looking drab. Also, please excuse the very tired face...it was Monday...I rest my case :D
