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..
