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

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 

Obsessed Much? Tan Riding Boots Take 2

Hello girls! Since December is gift month, I decided to dedicate today's post to my newest pair of tan riding boots. Yes, I know I've just bought another similar pair less than one month ago. And yes, I know I have an obsession. In fact, I think that my boots obsession has overcome my bag obsession. But to my defence, before you start judging me and say how out of control I am, this was an early Christmas present. Since I was in Brussels and knowing how hard I usually find a pair of boots which I love, I gave in and decided to buy this gorgeous pair. And I don't regret buying them because I absolutely love them, they are very qualitative and I know I will be waring them years in a row. They are from a store called Ken Shoe Fashion (here is their website  if you are interested), but unfortunately I believe that their stores are located only in Belgium. Thus, if you ever go there, be sure to check these shoe stores because you will love their designs.

 

Going back to the stars of this post, they have the softest leather and I love the golden buckle details. I also love the fact that they don't have zippers, and the fact that they are just below the knee (in case you didn't notice, I adore knee-high boots). I don't know why but I don't quite like boots with zippers; I mean I used to have boots with zippers, and I still have a pair or two, but I always preferred those without. I think this is my favourite pair of boots ever and I am so glad I bought them because I know I will wear them loads! Below I posted some pictures of them and some of me wearing them so you can see how they look on the leg. You can also check my latest outfit post where I am wearing them.

Lucky you Belgian people for having this store! Anyway, I hope you like them and please understand I was not trying to brag! I am just really excited because I managed to find a pair of boots I love so much and I just wanted to share my enthusiasm with you lovely people :)

Until next time, take care x

November Through My Phone

Hello loves! As November is coming to an end I decided to show you how this month has been for me by means of the pictures I managed to snap with my phone during these past weeks. November has been a great and extremely busy month for me. I just love months like this when I always have something to do because I am full of energy and I have the feeling that I am not waisting any moment of my life. It's a great feeling and I wish more months could be like this! 

 

I couldn't start the month without a trip to the countryside to visit my adorable cats. I am a major cat lover and I enjoy spending time with these two little monsters so much.

 

My favourite makeup products this month// My first Pandora bracelet which my boyfrind bought me as a present for my nameday this month

 

Getting off the plane in Brussels// Eating mussels with fries; this is a traditional dish in Belgium yum!

 

Christmas has already came in Brussels! Many of the sweet shops were beautifully decorated as seen above x



 Some of the gorgeous gowns exhibited at the Costume Museum in Brussels

 

 Delicious dishes I ate at a gorgeous restaurant in Brussels called Drug Opera; left: Cordon Bleu and right: salmon fillet with Bearnaise sauce

 

 New winter coat from Zara (ignore the dumb face). I love the golden details and the furry collar// My first Bioderma bottle; I'm really excited to try it!

 

 The December issue of British Glamour// Santa came early for me with this amazing new pair of tan boots; I don't want to take them off!

 

Leonidas chocolates, the most delicious chocolates in the world!// I wanted to buy this book written by Catherine Delors from the moment I've read Melanie's review on her blog, although I don't understand why they've given it such a cheesy title in Romanian (Love and Blood). The original title is Mistress of the Revolution and yes, the action is set on the eve of the French Revolution :D Can't wait to read it! 



 That's it for my November round up! I hope you also had a beautiful month and that the month to come will be filled with wonderful and special moments! x 

  

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

New Boots!!!

 

Hello guuuuys! I am so excited to show you my latest purchase, namely my brand new boots! I bought them 2 days ago from Il Passo (a Romanian shoe brand) and I love them to pieces. They are so perfect and go with almost every single piece in my wardrobe. They have a rich cognac colour, some small buckle details and are made of qualitative leather. My favourite thing about them is that they are knee-high and have no zips. They are perfect I tell you, perfect! I am behaving like a mad woman, I know, but I am so happy with them and wanted to share my enthusiasm :)

You can find them here 

 

Why do you think? I don't know if I said this before, but boots are my favourite part about the cold season and I love wearing them. This is why I get super excited when I find a pair which I absolutely love. Am I the only boot obsessed lady around here? Please share your own gems in the comment box below :)

 

I'm off to a birthday party now, have a wonderful weekend everyone! x

The return of the trench coat

Hello beautiful people!

Are you having a good day so far? Personally, I should be working on my dissertation right now but what am I doing instead? Writing a post. And what will I do after finishing this post? Most chances are I will read another blog/ magazine/ book, clean my room or cook...anything that will prevent me from writing my dissertation. I don't know about you, but during spring I find it most difficult to concentrate when I have uni work. During winter it's easier to write my essays or study because it's cold outside and it gets dark at 5 pm. But during spring, how exactly am I supposed to concentrate with all the sun, the beautiful weather and flowers outside? But alas, I have to make one final effort in my student life...my dissertation. Therefore, I solemnly promise that after writing this post, I will start writing...even if it's only one page! (one has to start somewhere)

Hence, let's get  down to business. Yesterday I had another conference to attend and I had to dress up a little. I've almost forgotten how much I loved this Zara trench coat. For me, it represents perfection: ideal length, made of cotton and in a neutral shade. Best trench coat ever and also a good investment. In terms of shoes, I opted for the millionth time for my beloved Zara tan boots. I know you've seen them in almost every outfit this past winter and I don't blame you for thinking this is the only pair of boots I own. But every time I select an outfit I like, I tend to pair it with these boots. I do have other boots in other colours, but this are my current favourites and when I like a certain item I tend to wear it constantly (I guess this is a common feature among women). Anyway, this was  probably one of their last outings since it's getting hotter and hotter outside and I will finally be able to wear pumps or ballet flats!

The ruffled blouse I'm wearing it's from Dorothy Perkins and it's one of my favourites. I think it looks somewhat Victorian thanks to its collar and the gorgeous embroidery it has on the sleeves, but I love it. I always feel so elegant when I'm wearing it. It also has a very soft material which gives it even a more luxurious appearance.

Lastly, I've chosen  this River Island satchel I bought one year ago which I believe gave this particular outfit a business twist. I felt like I was leading the company, not working for it :))

 Oh, but look at me talking as if I were an expert in fashion. Well, I'm not  and I don't even claim to be one. I just like to ramble (a lot) about it and share my visions and opinions :D

Well, that's it from me today. I wish you a wonderful rest of the week! (and go outside and enjoy the sun and the warm weather!!!...I will be inside....writing on my dissertation. So much fun!)

Take care x

Outfit for a Relaxed Saturday & New Jewelry Holder

Happy weekend everyone!

Today the weather was absolutely wonderful and I couldn't waste my day indoors. Therefore I went out for a stroll and a bit of shopping for some spring clothes. The walk in the old city centre was great and relaxing and the shopping went pretty well as I managed to find some beautiful pieces over at Zara. I finally managed to get my hands on a mint coloured blouse yeeey! (mint, where have thou been all my life??) There were a lot of gorgeous clothes in the store and if I had the necessary resources I would have left the store with a huge number of pieces of clothing. So if you are looking for some new additions to your spring wardrobe, then you should definitely go and check out the stuff over at Zara.

Here is what I wore on this beautiful Sunday afternoon (I took the photos with my Blackberry, therefore the quality is not that great...but the battery from my camera died).

Jacket - Orsay

Sweater - Stradivarius

Scarf - H&M

Bag - Nine West

Boots - Zara

Some candy coloured goodies from Zara. I love the pastel trend for this season since I've always been a fan of pastel shades. The current spring/ summer season seems to be extremely feminine with all those flowy materials, flower prints and candy shades!

The last thing I wanted to show you is my new jewelry holder, which is actually a mug holder but I think it does a great job at holding my necklaces.

I really needed something to put my necklaces and long pendants on and this mug holder is brilliant. It stores lots of jewelry and I think it also looks quite nice too. So next time you visit the kitchenware department pay extra attention to all the frying pans, forks or pots since who knows in what other ways then can be useful. Just kidding :))

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Take care x

New Look Waterfall Cardigan

Hello everyone!

Today I have another OOTD for you. The title of my post could have easily been "same boots, different days", since in my previous outfit post I was also wearing them. Actually, I've been wearing them quite a lot because they are my favourite winter piece, so excuse me if I repeat myself in my outfit posts, but i think they are so versatile I can basically wear them with everything.

Anyway, returning to the star of today's post, I thought I should finally show you my New Look waterfall cardigan which I ordered on-line about 3 weeks ago.  I've been looking for a waterfall cardigan for ages and I'm so glad I finally found this one! I think its turquoise colour looks great with an all black outfit and with a pair of tan boots. Unfortunately, my hair covered the brooch I accessorised the cardigan with :( It is a family jewel (as I like to call it) and when I was little I used to adore it and was so jealous on my mom whenever she was wearing it. But it's mine now muhahaha!

So this was my outfit from last night when I went out with one my friends.

 

And here's a separate pic of my gold parrot brooch. As I said, I used to love it when I was little, and I still do :)

Do you have any piece of jewelry with sentimental value?

That's a wrap for today! Have a great rest of the week! xx

Red & Black

I know I haven't done an OOTD for quite some time but lately it has become really hard to take outfit photos outside due to the fact that a) it's really cold  and b) it gets dark at 4 30 pm. So my apologies for the boring indoor background but this is the only way and place where I'm able to take decent outfit photos without freezing :D So this "lovely" door is going to be quite the star of my pics for the next period of time.

Today I went to a cute Italian restaurant to eat some pastas and I really liked my outfit choice, so I thought I could share it with you. I just love the combination between red and black and I was so delighted to finally find this red cardigan at Zara (I've been searching for it for ages). I added a simple black dress, tan boots and a lovely pair of H&M printed tights and I was ready to go.

Cardigan - Zara

Dress - Zara

Belt - H&M

Printed tights - H&M

Bag - Nine West

In other news, I'm almost done with Christmas shopping, fact which makes me a really relaxed and happy person. I've bought all the presents for everybody and I'm almost done with buying decorations, but tomorrow I'm going to purchase the last remaining bits. So yeah, I was lucky to escape most of the madness this year!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this beautiful (and stressful) time of the year!

Kisses

These boots were made for walking...to the movies

Hello chéries!

I hope you had a lovely weekend! Fortunately for me, this weekend I finally had the time to rest after a pretty busy week. The weather outside was horrible (very cold and rainy brrr) so I decided to spend most of my weekend indoors. Except going to the movies on Saturday night with my boyfriend, I didn't do anything really exciting. We went to see the screening of the latest version of The Three Musketeers. I can't say that it blew me away but it was a nice & fun movie and I enjoyed watching it. I personally prefer the 1993 version to this one because the story is better told and the accent falls more on the plot and on the characters than in this new version where the emphasis is more on the special effects and on the action scenes. This  movie rather tells an old story in a modern way, so don't expect it to be completely faithful to the book or to the historical period in witch the action takes place. But like I said, it is a fun movie to watch :)

I also wanted to show you my outfit  from last night. With the nasty weather outside I finally had the chance to wear my beloved tan boots. I really wanted to feel very comfortable so I paired them with a cozy cardigan, a knitted top and jeans.

Boots - Zara
Cardigan - Mango
Knitted top - Mango
Jeans - Miss Sixty
Bag - Nine West

I really hope that the weather will get better soon because I just can't stand the cold. It makes me want to stay in bed all day :)

I wish you a great start of the week and I'll talk to you very soon!

Kisses

Tan Leather Boots (finally!)

Hello lovelies!

Breaking news! I found the perfect pair of tan boots! :)) Sorry guys, but I'm so excited when I finally find something I wanted so badly! I've been looking for a nice pair of tan boots for over a month but I just couldn't find one...I mean there were tan boots but not what I wanted because they were either too chunky or with too many buckles. And I wanted something classic that would go perfectly both with a pair of jeans and with a dress or a skirt. 

So this week after work I popped into Zara to see what was new and bang!...a pair of gorgeous tan leather boots was there (waiting for me of course)! They fitted perfectly and looked great on my leg (they even made me look a bit taller hurray!). Therefore, I bought them and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I rarely find a boot that suits me this well. They have a gorgeous model and I think they will be a huge hit and a lot of people will buy them.

I think that deep down inside I knew that Zara would rescue me again!  I know I may sound so melodramatic but I'm sure that I'm not the only one who gets so excited when finding something I really wanted for so long. It's in women's DNA so there's nothing we can do about it, is there now? :)

So without further rambling here are THE BOOTS: 

I really like the zip at the back because I think this detail gives them a particular charm.  I also love the fact that their colour is sort of a reddish brown and not a beige brown because it makes them stand out more. I think they will look great with everything and I can't wait to wear them!

Do you have any favourite pair of boots?

Lots of kisses
