Loved by you

EN: Hey beauties, I have a special post prepared for you today about the most popular items in my closet!
Enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter everyone!

RO: Dragii mei, in prag de aprilie va intampin cu un post mai special, povestea celor mai populare piese din garderoba mea! Va doresc tuturor o noua luna de primavara plina de prospetime, mai blanda si mai insorita decat precedenta iar celor care sarbatoresc Pastele weekend-ul acesta, sarbatori fericite!!

Zara sandals

EN: These Zara sandals must be your favorite item in my closet! Sure looks that way from the statistics! I mean, this particulary photo brought me more than 18 000 views from Pinterest and this is my most popular blog post all time.

But the real madness started when e-mails and messages started to pour in, all of them asking me if I'm willing to sell them! Well, I'm really sorry, I can't do that, I just like them too much! (my god, even if they kill my feet every time I put them on). I tried to find a similar pair online, but I couldn't find anything very much alike, so I think it would be awesome if Zara would bring them back in stock for you soon..



RO: Poza de mai sus, cu sandalele Zara e cu siguranta cea mai populara de pe intreg blogul meu.
Nu stiu cum a ajuns initial pe Pinterest, insa a fost postata si repostata si prin intermediul ei s-au adunat peste 18 000 de vizualizari la postul din care a fost preluata (gasiti intreaga tinuta AICI)
Nebunia s-a declansat insa in momentul in care au inceput sa curga e-mail'urile cu rugaminti si cereri de a vinde aceste sandale. Primele dati m-am amuzat, insa vazand cu cata ardoare si le doresc unele fete, ma intreb de ce retailerul spaniol nu le readuce in stoc- pe acestea dar sunt si alte modele mai vechi pt care exista inca o cerere mare.

Eu le-am zarit intr-o seara geroasa, iarna trecuta, pe site'ul oficial si va zic sincer ca mi s-au bulbucat instant ochii la vederea lor, inima a inceput sa-mi galopeze si le-am comandat fara sa respir. De teama ca nu cumva sa dispara:))

skirt by Gina tricot

EN: Right behind the sandals comes this distressed denim skirt, "Karianne" by Gina Tricot.
I remember seeing her on Caroline from Stockholm Streetstyle, when she styled one of their collections and immediately fell for it. Well,I was actually lusting over a similar one from Acne, but that was sold out everywhere!
Anyway, I wanted this skirt so much, that I went all the way to Dortmund, to the nearest Gina Tricot shop, just to look for it!  So how could I sell it?! Fortunately, this is an easy DIY, you can find a tutorial with instructions and a great result HERE! Let me know if you try it!


RO: In imediata apropiere a sandalelor vine fusta de blugi desirata, model Karianne, de la Gina Tricot.
O vazusem pe blogul lui Caroline de la Stockholm Streetstyle, care facuse styling'ul pt colectia din primavara anului trecut si care povestea cum i-a convins pe reprezentantii retailerului suedez sa o introduca in magazine in momentul in care, se pare, ei se razgandisera.

Mi-a placut atat de mult- mai ales ca oftam deja de-o vreme dupa un model similar de la Acne, care era sold out pretutindeni- incat am facut imposibilul si am ajuns la Dortmund, unde se afla cel mai apropiat magazin Gina Tricot, special pt a o cauta!! Asadar, cum as putea sa ma gandesc sa o vand mai departe?
Insa de data aceasta nu ar trebui sa intampinati nicio problema, e un DIY relativ simplu! ( gasiti procedeul si un rezultat frumos AICI ). Spor la treaba si nu uitati sa-mi aratati rezultatul!

Out loud

Cambio boyfriend jeans, Gharani Strok faux fur, Zara flats, Miu miu sunglasses, Rolex watch

EN: Hey guys! How are you dealing with this awful weather that hit the entire Europe these days? It's so sad, we're all expecting the warmth and joy of Spring that just won't come! How long is this going to last?! 

This is what I wore to go shopping this Saturday but I must confess that it was freezing cold and the only thing I could think of was how to find a warm place immediately. 

Please, dear Spring, I know you're just around the corner, I've seen you!, but it's time to hurry up now and knock on our door! You are so much needed!

RO: Aceasta e tinuta purtata de mine sambata, la cumparaturi! Stiam ca se anunta o zi rece, insa suntem cu un pas in aprilie si zau ca nu mai am rabdarea si dispozitia necesara sa continui cu infofolirea si straturile peste straturi. Visand cu ochii deschisi la parfum de primavara limpede si adevarata, n-am mai tinut cont de avertizarile iubitului meu, m-am imbracat direct proportional cu soarele de afara si iesita am fost! Mare greseala am facut!

A inghetat inima si sufletul in mine, dom'le. Lumea toata era ascunsa dupa blanuri si fulare iar a voastra draga topaia de frig in blugi rulati si balerini. Ce sa mai, am facut repejor cateva poze(stiam ca nu voi mai avea timp zilele urmatoare), mi-am cumparat o pereche de sosete si m-am refugiat la caldura!

Nu mai am rabdare, simt primavara cum ne pandeste de la colt, insa incapatanata, intarzie sa ne ciocaneasca-n usa..

New toy&old hobbies

EN: Ta-daaaa! Here's my new favorite toy, guys! I bet you didn't expect this, right?;))
The truth is that I've had this in mind for a while, but it's only now that I broke down and bought a 8280 Singer sewing machine. Now I only need to learn how to actually use it! hahah
I can't wait to be able to do those items that I really want and that I never seem to find in stores, like a super long, simple black dress for instance. Yeey, I'm super excited!
I wish you all a wonderful week ahead!

RO: Ta-daaaa! Va prezint noua mea jucarie pe numele ei Singer 8280! Zau ca la asta nu va asteptati, huh?;))
Imi doream de foaarte multa vreme sa ma initiez in arta croitoriei, sa am posibilitatea sa imi fac singura anumite piese la care visez uneori luni de zile si nu am noroc sa le gasesc in magazine si mai ales, sa scap de croitorese ursuze si nepricepute. De obicei am mers la croitor cand veneam in tara, aici nu am dus decat perdele sau draperii, preturile sunt usturatoare iar serviciile nu intodeauna cele dorite.
Buun! Totul perfect pana aici. Problema e ca nu stiu deloc sa cos la masina, habar nu am cum se executa un tipar corect, expresia 'in clini' a trebuit sa o caut in dictionar, iar la cursurile de croitorie nu se mai gaseste niciun loc pana in iulie(se pare ca tot orasul doreste sa urmeze cursul asta). Dar nu imi fac probleme, perseverenta cum ma stiu cu siguranta o sa deprind eu si singura tainele acestei discipline (impreuna cu prietenul meu Google, bineinteles) si cum in general prefer croiurile simple, imi va face munca mai usoara.

M-am oprit in final la acest model de masina de cusut dupa ce am citit nenumarate review'uri (eram nesigura intre modelul 8280 si 2250) insa m-a convins faptul ca a fost notata cu un calificativ pozitiv intr-unul din testele de inspectie a calitatii facute de nemti pe cele mai populare masini de cusut.

Masina am cumparat-o joi seara, iar sambata eram deja zburata in oras in cautarea ustensilelor trebuincioase adiacente(stiti voi, ata, creta, ace) dar si a unui material potrivit pt experimente, aka de invatat a coase drept! :D
M-am indreptat bineinteles catre loturile de materiale aflate la reducere..

..si-am ajuns acasa cu minunatia aceasta! ❤

L-am zarit din prima printre maldarele de culori si imprimeuri si am stiut ca nu mai are rost sa caut mai departe!
Acum insa, ce sa fac, ca numai bun de experimentat nu e?! Mi-e teama sa nu-l stric, vreau o rochie lunga din el.
Asadar, aman si nu ma ating de el pana nu stapanesc cat de cat tehnicile de cusut.

Sper ca am reusit sa va transmit si voua entuziasmul meu legat de aceasta activitate noua pt mine, insa ideea incoltise in mintea mea de mai bine de un an si acum ca am reusit sa o pun in aplicare a devenit "jucaria" mea preferata (＾◡＾)

Promit sa va tin la curent cu progresele si va doresc o saptamana frumoasa!

Apricot flavoring

EN: If you're a regular reader of my blog, you must have already noticed my huge crush for colorful jackets, blazers and coats. In fact, I fancy them so much that I sometimes tend to neglect the basic items like a nude, boyfriend blazer for example. And I really need one right now. So, as soon as I have time for a little shopping spree in the city center, I need to search for this particular item only!! And maybe a couple of printed t-shirts.
Anyway, I really need to stick with the plan and avoid other temptations, otherwise I'll come back home with anything else but my perfect nude boyfriend blazer..

RO: Cu siguranta ati observat de-a lungul timpului pasiunea mea pt jachetele, sacourile sau paltoanele care desi croite clasic, se evidentiaza gratie culorilor speciale sau a unui imprimeu deosebit. Ei, adevarul e ca ma atrag ca un magnet cand  intru in magazine si apoi ma trezesc ca-mi lipsesc din sifonier piese de baza, in culori solide, neutre, cum e spre exemplu, un sacou simplu, nude.. Asadar, cu urmatoarea ocazie in care ajung in centrul orasului, imi fac timp de cumparaturi si cautari amanuntite, cu o tinta precisa: sacou in stil barbatesc nude! si niste tricouri imprimate. 
Trebuie sa ma abtin si sa inchid obloanele la vederea altor ispite, ca in felul asta ajung acasa cu orice altceva in afara de ce mi-am propus sa iau!!

Voua ce piese de baza simtiti ca va lipsesc in acest moment din garderoba?

Bohemian flow

Esprit jacket and hat, TK Maxx dress

EN: I've always had some kind of fascination with the bohemian way of life, you know, about living and being free and creative beyond convention! I feel the same about the modern 'boho chic' style, one of the most interesting and creative styles of today, first popularized by celebrities like Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie, the Olsen twins and Kate Moss. A combination of  hippie, modern and folk, it continues to evolve (while essentially remains the same), it's easy to recognize and and looks incredibly chic if it's well executed! The key to successfully adopting this style is to look natural and individual, yet effortless at the same time.
I personally love some bohemian inspiration in my outfits, especially during summer, it just seems like the perfect season to incorporate or adopt this trend. Just think about flowy maxi dresses and skirts, floral prints, embroidered tunics, faux fur, chunky jewelry and hobo bags. Bliss!

RO: Am fost mereu fermecata de stilul de viata boem, creativ, neconventional. De acea categorie aparte a lumii urbane admirata in secret si dezaprobata in aceeasi masura, blamata pt lipsa ancorarii in realitate si gandirea idealistica sau aplaudata pt lipsa prejudecatilor. Cu un aer usor nostalgic si asociat inevitabil mediului artistic reprezentat de scriitori, muzicieni, plasticieni  dar si intelectualilor care practicau un mod de viata fara constrangeri sociale si spiritelor libere in general, traiul boem este transpus si in vestimentatie, afisand aceleasi atribute. 

Cu o singura exceptie insa. In contrast cu lejeritatea si nesupunerea modului de viata boem, stilul 'boho chic' e unul complex si pretentios, necesitand multa atentie in compunerea unei tinute. Orice piesa in plus sau minus poate strica tot farmecul. Chiar daca nu ma identific in totalitate cu stilul asta si cateodata ma iau cu mainile de cap cand vad cum e interpretat la celebrul festival Coachella, ma dau in vant dupa usoare influente boemiene, mai ales pe durata sezonului estival, cand zilele toride si noptile lungi de vara ne indeamna catre creativitate si lejeritate in tinute. Si ce e mai potrivit pt un rezultat de efect decat rochiile si fustele maxi, imprimeurile florale, palariile si impletiturile, broderiile etno, tunicile transparente sau accesoriile franjurate?

Voi ce parere aveti despre stilul 'boho chic', il adoptati?

Pleats please

NY parka, Vero Moda dress, LimeLight boots, Juicy Couture sunglasses, Rolex watch

EN: A lot of red flooded my own Instagram feed lately and this is how I actually noticed that I'm wearing it more and more since Spring is in town! I love this color on everything from clothes to makeup and it's such a fun choice for small interior accents! The most emotionally intense color, red increases enthusiasm and encourages action and confidence and it's the perfect energy booster for any of those dull mornings!
So come on, ladies, be brave and dare to wear a smashing red dress for dinner with your husband or put on a bloody colored lipstick at the Sunday brunch. It'll make you feel strong, sexy and completely in touch with your senses!

EN: Mult rosu in feed'ul meu de Instagram din ultima perioada. Da, curios, dar asta mi-a si atras de fapt atentia ca dimineata ma indrept magnetic catre materialele pretioase in aceasta culoare, buzele le pictez sangerii iar asta e al treilea post consecutiv in care se regaseste generos in tinutele mele! Primavara e de vina, clar!
Stiti cat iubesc culoarea aceasta si efectul stimulator universal asupra simturilor observatorului iar noi, doamnelor, stim cel mai bine ca sarmul si efectul exploziv pe care il are atunci cand e folosita ca element principal intr-o tinuta de seara dar si pt a sublinia o combinatie casual de zi, e de neegalat! 

Va doresc un weekend minunat, eu sunt in forma si ready to pa-pa-party! 
Zau ca vinerea si anticipatia weekendului imi lipeste negresit pe fata cate un zambet tamp lungit paaana la urechi :))

Minimarket

Minimarket coat, H&M jeans, Mango pumps, Aldo bag, Ray Bans

EN: Yes, that white fluffy stuff you see all over the trees and houses behind me is snow..SNOW!!
I couldn't believe my eyes a couple of days ago, as I got up and saw everything covered in a white, crisp blanket as if it was December, before Christmas..It's quite depressing, actually, even though we all knew it was a good chance this could happen, but you know, I already gotten used to the bloomy, sweet, romantic Spring atmosphere. Oh well, I just hope the daffodils and tulips in my garden will be ok, the poor snowdrops are completely frozen.
The photo below was taken a couple of morning ago..

RO: Mda..va asigur ca vedeti bine..chestia aia alba poposita in ciuda noastra pe case si copaci e zapada..ZAPADA!!!
Nu mai zic nimic, inchid ochii ferm si astept sa treaca. Oricat de incapatanata si decisa ar fi sa nu ne lase sa ne bucuram de luna asta frumoasa, iarna nu mai poate avea putere. Imi pare rau doar de florile din gradina, sper din suflet ca lalelele si narcisele ivite deja 10 cm deasupra solului sa fi rezistat. Ghioceii, atat de plapanzi dragii de ei, au inghetat complet si se sfarama complet intre degetele mele..
Am atasat si o poza mai jos, sa vedeti cat de frumosi si proaspeti erau in urma cu doar cateva dimineti..

Cross my heart

Zara blazer, Mango jeans, Aldo pumps and bag, MK watch, Ray Bans

EN: The sunny weather is back and together with it so are my beloved sunglasses! If you're an old reader of mine, you might already know that I have extremely photosensitive eyes, so wearing high quality protective sunglasses is not for aesthetic reasons only but a must for me during the hot season.

On my wishlist this Spring are a pair of blue mirror Wayfarers, I really hope to find them. What's on yours?

RO: S-au intors zilele insorite si odata cu ele ochelarii mei de soare. Stiu ca unora va plac, altora mai putin si chiar primisem in trecut cateva intrebari legate de faptul ca port ii port uneori si iarna si ei bine, nu pot altfel!
Bineinteles, ii port si din considerente estetice, imi plac si imi par un accesoriu chic care de multe ori ridica intreaga tinuta, insa nevoia mai presus de toate ma impinge ca pe toata durata sezonului cald sa nu imi lipseasca din geanta. 
V-am mai mentionat ca am o fotosensibilitate crescuta la lumina solara si efectiv ma dor si-mi lacrimeaza ochii ingrozitor atunci cand dau de soare puternic. Si ma stramb incercand sa vad pe unde trec strada de zici ca ma chinuie focurile iadului. Cei care impartasesc aceeasi problema, stiu si inteleg disconfortul teribil. 

Imi doresc tare mult acum o pereche cu rama neagra, clasicul Wayfarer pe care il port si azi, insa un model mai indraznet cu lentile albastre tip 'oglinda'. Sper sa gasesc. 
Care e modelul de ochelari de soare preferat de voi?

Service Khakis

RO: Buna dragele mele si mai ales mamici adorate! Cum v-ati petrecut ziua de 8 Martie? Sper ca sunteti fericite , ati primit martisoare, vorbe dulci si mici daruri iar buchetele de frezii si lalele stau aranjate frumos in sufragerie! 
La randul vostru sper ati intors bucuria impartind imbratisari calde si zambete largi tuturor celor dragi!
8 Martie ma surprinde mereu cu o dulce melancolie in amintirea copilariei. Imi  vine in minte nerabdarea cu care asteptam si planuiam ziua asta, cu cata sarguinta(si degete taiate) confectionam mamei cate o felicitare colorata, garnisita cu fel de fel de funde si flori din hartie glasata. La intoarcerea de la scoala intram la floraria din piata si-i luam o zambila. Cred ca niciodata nu se bucura mamele de o floare asa cum o fac cand e daruita de puii lor. 
Ochii  inlacrimati stau marturie.

La scoala alta nebunie! Baietii din clasa se intreceau in a ne darui flori si bomboane iar la sfarsitul saptamanii ne organizau negresit cate o serbare dansanta cu suc si prajituri. Aoleo cat imi mai pregateam tinuta si coafura! Evident, buclele si pantofii trendy de lac erau obligatorii! Stiuuuu ca i-ati purtat si voi! :))

Care sunt cele mai dragi amintiri care va leaga de aceasta sarbatoare?
Va astept cu interes povestioarele in sectiunea de comentarii si va doresc un weekend placut in continuare!
