Tartan&Stripes

EN: As you may have already noticed, I'm crazy about mixing the classy stripes with all kind of prints like florals, tartan, leopard or psychedelic. The striped top is definitely the most worn item in my wardrobe and in my opinion it's one of the top 5 must have in any closet! I get mine at the beginning of every season from h&m or Zara, they do have a great selection of cotton basics;)

On a different note, my boyfriend surprised me with a beach vacation planned for the next week and I'm beyond excited to dig out for my bathing suits and summer dresses from the bottom of the closet! Be sure to follow me on INSTAGRAM @fashionpainteddreams to keep up with all the preparations for this trip!



RO:  Dupa cum (sunt convinsa) ati obserat pana acum, imi place la nebunie sa combin clasicele dungi breton cu orice alt imprimeu: floral, abstract, in carouri sau animal print. Un top dungat este cu siguranta o piesa basic arhifolosita din sifonierul meu si face parte dintr-un top 5 al listei de must have-uri in orice garderoba in viziunea mea. Eu ma 'aprovizionez' la fiecare inceput de sezon cu 2 sau 3 astfel de bluze din bumbac, le iau de obicei din h&m sau Zara, acolo unde va zoresc si pe voi sa mergeti, au o selectie buna de piese basic.

In alta ordine de idei, am avut parte de o mega surpriza din partea iubitului meu, cand a venit acasa cu vestea ca la sfarsitul saptamanii asteia mergem in vacanta la mare!!! Cu greu imi vine a crede ca trebuie sa dezgrop de pe undeva din pivnita costumele de baie si rochitele de vara, dar da, daca nu vine vara la mine(mai repede), fug eu la ea :)) Cu pregatirile de plecare, bagaje si toate cele va tin la curent pe contul meu de INSTAGRAM, unde ma gasiti cu username-ul @fashionpainteddreams. Va astept acolo si va doresc o saptamana placuta!!

EN: You know how 2012 was -from runway to high street- all about mint green! Well, according to the Pantone Color Institut it seems like this years color is yet another shade of green, this time a richer, luxuriant,  more vibrant shade, emerald ! Green times had come, says Leatrice Eisman, executie director of Pantone's research arm known as the Pantone Color Institute. Read more bellow:

{ Most often associated with brilliant, precious gemstones, the perception of Emerald is sophisticated and luxurious. Since antiquity, this luminous, magnificent hue has been the color of beauty and new life in many cultures and religions. Also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity, no other color conveys regeneration more than green. For centuries, many countries have chosen green to represent healing and unity.

"The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "As it has throughout history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate. Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors." } 

This vivid and universally appealing shade of green that easily translates -among others- to design, home interiors and beauty industries and of course fashion it's also incorporated into the Spring/Summer 2013 collections of many designers, including Gucci, Burberry, Michael Kors, Sportsmax, Roland Mouret or Kenzo.

So, my dear friends and fashion lovers, make sure to put this color on your radar this year! I'm already looking forward for a new pair of chandelier earrings featuring this lush tone and a flowy maxi skirt!!



RO: Daca anul trecut verdele fistic facea legea pe marile podiumuri de moda din Paris, NY sau Milano dar si in garderobele fashionistelor, se pare ca lumea modei nu e inca pregatita sa se desparta de culoarea prospetimii si ne-o readuce in atentie intr-o noua nuanta, cea a smaraldului. Gucci, Burberry, Michael Kors, Sprortsmax, Roland Mouret sau Kenzo sunt doar unele dintre marile case se moda care au ales nuantele smaraldului drept vedeta colectiilor de primavara/vara.
Numita culoarea anului 2013 de catre Institutul Pantone, cel care dicteaza tendintele in materie de culoare, se asteapta ca pretioasul verde smarald sa fie exploatat la maxim atat de catre marii retaileri de moda dar si in domeniul decoratiunilor interioare sau a industriei de beauty. 

Iar noi, iubitoarele de moda, nu putem decat sa ne bucuram de aceasta culoare luxurianta care avantajeaza in aceeasi masura blondele, brunetele sau roscatele, este racoritor iar conform cromoterapiei, echilibreaza energiile si destinde considerabil atat fizicul cat si psihicul. （⌒▽⌒）

O fusta si o rochie, ambele maxi si din materiale fluide, matasoase dar si o pereche de cercei candelabru, stralucitori si cat mai opulenti sunt direct pe lunga mea lista de dorinte pt vara asta!

Voi purtati nuante de verde intens, si-a gasit culoarea asta loc in garderobele voastre pana acum?
