Sunday Love

Hello girls! I hope you're heaving a relaxed Sunday :) I really don't want it to be Monday tomorrow because this means that I'm back to working like a crazy person for the next week. I've been so busy lately with my job and the magazine that I barely had time to do anything else. I'm gutted that I don't have more time to write on my blog because I have so many ideas but so little time to write them down.

Anyway, yesterday I went for a stroll through the shops since the weather is extremely cold for this time of the year. I've seen a lot of things I liked but didn't buy anything. Depending on the things I'm going to find in the next weeks I'm going to decide what's worth buying and what's not :D

In the meantime, here are a few items that stole my heart:

Denim shirt from Mango, 35, 99 Euro

 

 

Star jumper from Bershka, 25,99 Euro

 

Lace linen top from H&M, 14,95 Euro (I love the model's entire outfit...and tan...and attitude)

 

What have you been loving lately? Any recommendations?

 

Lots of love x

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

Cross body bag - River Island

Jeggins - Zara

Boots - Ken's Shoes

 

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!

Lots of love

February through My Phone

On the last day of February I wanted to show you some of the hightlights of this month which is so special to me. All in all I had a really busy month, full of excitement and some interesting opportunities. Not to mention that a few days ago I celebrated my 25th birthday! It feels so epic :))

 

Enough with the blabber, here are some photos I took this month:

 

Birthday outfit - I decided to wear my favourite Topshop jumper which has a lovely beaded neckline. I had such a lovely day, mostly thanks to my wonderful family!

My birthday cake! Yumm!// Some of the gorgeous flowers I received on my birthday. I love spring flowers, they smell divine!

 

My latest order from Topshop: a beautifully embroidered jumper and a new leather chain wallet// The products I used for my birthday celebration makeup.

My new scarf from the Zara sales// New draped jumper from Asos and new necklace from Accessorize (ignore the tired face).



The pretty violet from my office bloomed// Some gorgeous tulips I received on Valentine's Day. 



 The salad I made for my Mum's birthday// Watching Marie Antoinette...again...for the millionth time :D

 

 

That's all guys, what have you been up to this February? Was it a good month for you?

 

Lots of love x

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!

 

Lots of love x



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

Jeggins - Zara

Boots - Ken's Shoes (Belgium)

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 

Christmas Gift Guide

Can you believe that December is already here? I can't believe we are only a few weeks away from Christmas! And since we are all looking for the perfect Christmas gift for our dear ones, I though that I should dedicate this post entirely to Christmas gift ideas for all budgets. So sit comfortably and go through the selection of gifts I've put below because you might just find the perfect gift idea for your mum, sister or best friend!

1. Ciate Caviar Limited Edition Manicure - £18 from ASOS (but I've also seen it at Sephora). This year has been all about statement nails, so why not buy your sister or best friend a kit for the most amazing party nails?

 

2. Accessorize wallet - £17 here or at your local Accessorize store. I think that an elegant wallet makes a perfect gift. I chose this one due to its lovely blush shade and the golden bow detail.

 

 

3. Make-up palettes - What girl doesn't love make-up palettes with countless options to choose from when creating the most interesting looks?

Sephora limited edition make-up palette (around 25 Euros) - you can find this in pretty much any Sephora out there.

Sleek "Oh So Special" make-up palette (around 10 Euros). My Romanian readers can find this palette on  The Makeup Shop

Too Faced limited edition palette - £19.00 from ASOS, but you can also find it in Sephora

Stila Limited Edition Large Snowflake Eye Shadow Palette With FREE Mascara - £29.50 from ASOS

 

4. "Courtesan " from Amazon. I already did a short review of this book a few months ago, so if you saw it, you probably know how much I enjoyed reading this book. It is beautifully written and it will keep you on the edge of your sits until the last pages. And what woman doesn't enjoy a wonderful love story like the one between the famous courtesan Diane de Poitiers and Henry II of France? (for my Romanian readers, you can find this book at your local Diverta)

 



5. Love jumper - £40 from Inlovewithfashion. What other colours scream festive season than white and red. This jumper from Love is a great option to wear not only on Christmas Day or during the festive season but also in the months to come since it has such a beautiful girlie design and it's so soft and comfortable.

 

 

6. Clarins skin care kit (around 45 Euros). I think that skin care kits are a great gift for our mums and not only, because what women does not want to have perfect looking skin? Again, you can find skin care kits from a multitude of brands in your local Sephora.

 



 7. The perfect party dress - £48 pounds from Topshop. If I were to receive the perfect dress for the upcoming Christmas parties or New Year's Eve, this would be it. The design and the embroidery are wonderful and I think that this is the type of black dress you will wear for years to come.

 

 

 8. Nina Ricci perfume set (around 60 Euros). Whether you choose to buy just the perfume or an entire set, any girl would love to receive her favourite fragrance for Christmas. You can find these types of sets in every Sephora or online.

 

 

9.  Pandora bracelet - For the ones with a bigger Christmas budget, a Pandora bracelet would be an amazing gift to offer to your girlfriend or your sister. The idea behind Pandora jewellery is really interesting and the charms are all beautifully designed.

10. The perfect black bag. I literally don't know a single woman who doesn't love bags. So if your budget allows you, a classic black leather bag would be the perfect gift for those bag obsessed ladies out there. You can find this one here.

So these were my suggestions for the perfect Christmas gifts; needless to say, these are only some ideas meant to inspire you, I did not try to imply that you should buy exactly the gifts I've mention above since there are many other things you can buy for Christmas.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this post and if you have some other gift suggestions please leave them in the comments box below so I can read them and get inspired! Happy Christmas shopping everyone!



My Favourite Outfit

It's that time of the year again, the time of OOTDs shot indoors because a) it gets dark at 5 p.m. when people are usually still at work, and b) it's freezing cold outside to take photos in just a jumper/ shirt/ dress. So, from now on, please excuse the "interesting" decor :) I should also add that I'm soooo self-conscious when it comes to taking outfit pics outside because I am too shy and I feel like everybody is staring and judging me, so in a way I prefer indoor pics, even though they are less interesting. Anyway, looking at these photos I've noticed that my face looks kind of weird (I look so bored and tired) and I don't know why. Maybe I'm not a photogenic person when it comes to indoor pics? But I don't mind it that much since the focus should be on the clothes; so just ignore my weird facial expressions :))

Moving on now, to the real reason of this post, this is one of my favourite outfits for winter...very comfortable yet a bit chic, don't you think? My favourite piece from this outfit are the tan boots. Where should I start describing how much I love them? I know I bought a new pair less than a month ago, but I saw this super gorgeous pair during my trip to Brussels and I thought I should treat myself to an early Christmas present. But more about them in a future post where I will tell you all about them. The jumper is another purchase from Brussels and it is now one of my favourite jumpers because it has a lovely colour, an interesting design with a lower back and it is sewed with a metallic thread. The bag is around three years old but it's still one of my favourites and the snood seems to be the perfect choice for these cold days. All in all, a very comfortable outfit in which I feel great! Hope you like it!

 

Snood - New Look

Jumper - New Look

Bag- Peek and Cloppenburg (old)

Jeggins - Zara

Boots - Ken shoes (Brussels)

What do you think? What is your to go outfit this season? x
