How to create a simple, yet effective look

EN: I've planned a deep and meaningful post for today, but laziness took over and it seems I can't get in its way. But let me tell you, it would have been a good read for you if I wrote it. :))) Next time, I promise. For now let's stick to our usual routine, talking a bit about the outfit. Is a simple, yet effective one. 

You can create a similar one too. And although in winter we mainly wear dark colors and simple pieces of clothing, accessories are the one that saves us. In this particular case I wore a chic pair of earrings and I choose some otk boots to give to the outfit that special touch. You can go for a hat, a scarf, a bag, a cool necklace. Just try to add accessories to a look that you think is a bit dull and the way you see it will change in a sec: from dull to wow!

This dark navy sweater saved me on many occasions, is so easy to wear, you can combine it with everything. Don't forget when you go shopping to buy some basic pieces that can go with anything.

How to look cool: The shirt dress

EN: What do you do when you have a torment inside you and peace seems just like a far away dream? Maybe you try to occupy your mind with all sorts of activities, maybe you listen to some calm music, maybe you meet up with your friends, maybe you read a good book, maybe you just try to smile so you induce the sensation of happiness to that cluttered mind of yours. But when the activities are over, the music stops, the friends go to their houses, the book is finished, the smile just doesn't want to stay on your face, the only thing that remains is to confront that torment, to fight those demons. God damn it, is a hard task, but not an impossible one. Today I decided (it may be a paradox) to fight for my peace.

And I might be fighting wearing this daring outfit. :))) This shirt makes me feel like I'm in a hip-hop video from the 90's and I did loved the 90's, so, baby, I love this shirt! Otk boots will always look great with mini or midi pieces of clothing. Wear them and your outfit will get even more chic. I'm a big fan of them and can't wait to show you other ways in which you can wear them.
In a previous post you saw my 24K gold plated necklace graven with the blog's name. Today is the silver's one turn to be here on the blog. Is pretty cool and can be easily worn with any type of outfit. You can find it on oNecklace.com.

Keep it classy

EN: Oh, you winter wonderland, you do look charming in photos, but in reality you're a pain in the ass. Why, you ask? Because you always come with low temperatures and you transform the whole city in a skating rink. Not charming, not charming at all. And although I'm no ice skater I did managed to take only one fall this winter. 
Well, a long coat is the right choice for this season. You can wear it with a belt on your waist or without, either way it will look great. I chose the first option to bring more chicness to the outfit. I just kept it simple and classy.

Let me know what you prefer to wear in the winter: a parka or a coat?

EN: Hey, hey, lovely ladies! It was about time to post a new look. Of course, as I am a fan of adrenaline, I decided to take these photos when they were -13 °C. No, why take them when it was sunny and nice and my ass wouldn't had the chance to froze?! Where would be the fun? :P
To contrast with the white landscape I wore a colorful outfit, in nice earthy shades. I really enjoy this color combo. I created the look around the brown coat, thinking some green will look great with it, so I played with different shades of this color.
Since I've got these boots I lived in them, they are very comfortable and pretty much look great with anything. 
Hope you like the look and see you soon! ;)

EN: I'm going to be short and sweet tonight, just like in real life, of course. :))) I got my cute rabbit print dress and I'm not afraid to flaunt it. Isn't this print adorable? I do think so. That's all for now, folks! Keep close for when I will have less work to do and more time to write you something nice. :)

Kisses!

EN: You just need to wait a little bit for the weekend to be here. Oh, the happiness! :) I had a calm week if you've looked from outside, but from inside there were a lot of turbulence. It seems that it became something normal for me. On one hand, is nice to feel of sorts of things you didn't know you can feel again, it makes your blood flow, but on the other hand, is exhausting and most of these things are painful. I fight them and enjoy them at the same time. Is interesting!
If you can believe it, today's outfit is a classic one. I didn't know I still remember this word. So I'm wearing a pair of jeans, a jacket and a top. Yes, me! And not just any jeans, but some classics (yes, I keep repeating this word). The jeans are from the new C&A collection, The Denim. They have tones of great models to choose from and all kinds of jeans: skinny, straight, flared and so on.
One more thing: have a weekend like no other (I'm talking only about positive things :D)!

Changes, maxi dresses and boho necklaces

EN: It comes a time in your life when you feel the need for a change. Sometimes you have the guts to do it, sometimes not. If you dare to do it, all that matters is not to regret it, even if it didn't turned out like you've wanted, it was an experience that helped you grow as a person. I did that change, I still didn't figured out if it was the right decision, but I'm sure I will discover that eventually.
I did a change in my haircut too, as you can see. Although the photos were taken in a very windy day and my hairdo wasn't the best. I've wore a maxi dress at the beginning of the fall, Maxi dresses are for short girls too, and now I've did it again. You can find really great maxi dresses online, mine is from GCGme and it has the best fabric that falls beautifully on the body and the most intense shade of blue. I so like it! You can find it now at almost half of the initial price right here. More colors are available.
I had just received this boho necklace from Happiness Boutique when I decided to wore the dress and they made a interesting match. For some while I prefer this type of necklaces, more boho-hippie, and this one is just perfect. You can find a great selection on their site.
I leave you with the photos. Have a fun day!

The cheerleader jacket and the coolest graffiti

EN: Is freaking cold in Bucharest, it feels like winter. Come on, I want some fall first! 
As you might have guessed, this look is from a while ago when the weather was more friendly. This jacket, very similar to those worn by cheerleaders in the US, is very popular for some time now. This is my first acquisition and I'm planning on owning more pieces like this. Do you fancy them? I do think they are versatile and can be worn easily with a dress or skirt and sneakers maybe. I chose a casual combo with a twist: ripped jeans and heels. You can also see another way I wore those jeans in the IT watch and a cool-casual look post.
I do have some other outfits in store, so be prepared to see a few looks this upcoming week.
I will keep it short this time too, because I have a terrible headache. Kisses and have the coolest week!

EN: I do have a thing for Superhero tops. Now is Wonder Woman, last time was Superman. And it seems I keep pairing them with these mom jeans. :)) They are the go-to item for Superhero tops. :))) And of course, as you might have noticed, I'm wearing a crop top. I'm going nuts with these crop tops!
I will keep it short today, I don't know about sweet, because my apartment needs some good cleaning and it's time to get down to business. Wish me luck, I freaking need it!

EN: I have to wake up at 6 a.m tomorrow and I have a super busy day, but I got the feeling I will have another sleepless night. It won't be the first one, in fact if I slept will be a first lately. I'm proud that I can still function normally, but I do need my rest. And I need better days too, these sad days aren't of any help. Don't want them anymore! I will stop, I have to get ready for Webstock.
Guys, I invite you to see a new outfit. It seems this summer I had a passion for crop tops, fall is here and the passion is still going strong. Is shirts time to be too short and the one from today's post really is. I've wore it with a midi skirt and the coolest shoes. Tell me, you fancy it?

EN: It's raining cats and dogs, is cold and I'm showing you a summer outfit. That's me, always against the current. :)) I still have some summer outfits in store, so you need to appreciate that I want you to think of summer. :P But stay close, the fall ones will be here soon if the rainy weather allows it.
I have to tell you that on September 22 I've celebrated 5 years of blogging. Is been such an wonderful journey, it definitely had its ups and downs, but all in all, I loved it. I'm not sure how many years from now on I will do it, but I do hope will be many. And I do hope you will still be here and read all my blabbering and admire or criticize my outfits. :)
As for this look, I wore a dress as a top, paired with some skinny jeans and chunky floral heels and that's it. It has a boho vibe. Hope you enjoy it! Have a fantastic week, guys!

EN: I admit today is not my best day, but when I saw the photos from this post with that big smile the day began to get a little better. I was thinking there are only two months left until my 32 years anniversary. Not so excited about that, all that crosses my mind is: oh my, only 8 years until 40. :)) I have in mind some major changes, some of them have already been made (if you remember I've talked about that in a previous post), some of them will be soon. I just hope I will find the courage and the determination that I need.
Returning to the outfit. I have a crush, not hidden as you can see, on bodycon dresses. I hadn't wore one in ages and it was about time I do it. The one from today is Zara via kurtmann.ro. I saw it worn by other lovely bloggers in many interesting combo. Now is my turn to show it. Enjoy!
Have a great week, babes!

EN: Is weekend so I have for you a simple, casual outfit, maybe appropriate for a walk if you replace the high heels with some sneakers. I thought I should take advantage of these incredibly hot days we're still having and wear again a mini skirt (did the same in this previous post). At least now when the weather allows it I have to bare my legs, because I will definitely miss it in the next months. What surprises me is the fact that although we are having a heat wave, many people still dress like in autumn, just because is September. Come on, guys!
I'm wearing a jeans skirt and a casual-chic top that it seems I didn't picked right, is has a smaller bust than what I possess. :)) You can see that in the photos too, but let's not go there. :))
Is almost my 5 years blog's anniversary, so I have some surprises in store. Stay close! :)

EN: The clock keeps ticking, time flies again. It flies so fast that I can't tell whether is night or day. I don't want it to fly like that, I want my time back. The years go too fast, I can't keep up with them. Look, is September already, where did the summer went?! Somewhere where I won't be able to recover it. At least I have these outfits to remind me of it, even though it wasn't the best summer, even though is one more summer I didn't enjoyed.
A summer day in which I wore a skirt that is too short. But you know what? I felt great wearing it. And with the white top it was a perfect match, it made such an interesting contrast. I will be wearing them in autumn too in other lovely combos.
I'm listening to the clock again, this time hoping it will bring a new better day.

The most orange of them all

EN: It's almost a too quiet night. Or it might be the drowsiness caused by the lack of sleep, or the pouring rain, that makes me feel like this. It has been almost two days since I last slept. My insomnia remembered me and doesn't want to go, but I will make it go! I'm wearing my summer shorts and is the first time in months that I get goose bumps and chills, a clear sign that fall is here. I'm not even sleepy, I just have an overwhelming melancholy. Yes, and a disappointment caused by everything that is happening in my life lately. Stop, this is supposed to be a post about fashion and it has to be! Is far from a personal journal.
Fashion, this is what we talk about. And also about how much orange this outfit has. But it is beautiful! This dress is not the most flattering, but I still like it, God damn it! It will look a lot better on a taller and skinnier person. I just didn't cared about that and wore it anyway. A tip: if you also like it you can find it on sales from 75$ to 17,83$. Wow!
All that is left to say is have the most wonderful weekend!

Maxi dresses are for short girls too

EN: Oh, melancholy, you are back again! You always come to me when school is almost ready to begin. I have so many sweet memories regarding my school years. I miss that period and I can't believe how many years have passed since then. I have a school/highschool near the apartment I live in and I always hear the teachers and the students on the first day of school when they get together in the yard and announce the begin of a new school year. Is beautiful and I miss it so!
I had to say goodbye to summer with this mini photoshoot in the park wearing this cute maxi dress. I know it is said that horizontal stripes are flattering only for thin girls, but I think I pulled this look off. I don't wear maxi dresses too often, but I do adore them. I can rarely find a dress that is not too long for a short girl like myself. This one is too long too, that is why I had to include the belt. But I still like it nonetheless. What do you think, yey or ney?

Rock me, rock me, rock me, baby!

EN: Babes, I've missed wearing jeans. I took advantage of the low temperatures we had here more than a week and a half ago and with lots of courage I've put them on. I don't dare to wear long jeans in summer, the heat is criminal. Not to tell you that I was so eager to wear this cool vest! I already imagine many combos for fall. It looks pretty nice paired with this top in tartan print and with a delicate detail, black lace.

I had a rather peaceful week and I must admit I miss some fuss. I hope the weekend will bring the much wanted fun! Fingers crossed! :)

The culottes - a controversial piece of clothing

EN: Hello, babes! I don't know why all the fuss with the coming of fall when the temperatures here are extremely high and the sun still burns the skin. And I heard is going to be like that for a while. So, the right thing to do is bring you a summer outfit. I was looking for a place to take photos when I came across this London bus parked somewhere in the city. I really liked it, and although my outfit didn't matched with it, I decided to shoot some photos. I'm wearing the controversial culottes, one of my favorite piece of clothing. You hate them or love them. Is no middle way! You can see me rocking a similar pair in this post: Yellow, it's your time to be worn!. I love culottes and I regret not having more pairs, but I need to take care of this issue!
I'm happy my hair has grown a little and I can wear it like that, I really missed it! In fact I wanted to cut it short this month, but when I saw that now I can do more hairdos with it, I decided it to keep like this for now.
Lately I have a thing for boho-hippie necklaces. I ordered the one from today and I'm excited with it. You can find it here at only 4,83$, so go ahead and knock yourself out!
Gotta go, I got some summer to enjoy!

Fringes addict

8/6/15

Top/Tricou - Zara 
Skirt/Fustă - H&M
Sandals/Sandale - LovelyShoes
Rings/Inele - Six, Meli Melo

EN: I have an euphoric state from some time now, I don't know for what reason, but I just find myself smiling like a fool. I can't complain, I do prefer this instead of being sad. Maybe is because of my hair color, sorry, my hair colors, they  make you have a good mood. Or who knows? Might be something in the air.
And yeah, your vision is just fine, is me that is wearing fringes again...and again and again. I told you I have gone cuckoo over fringes. I have the feeling you will see them more often.  I keep following the same pattern, one elegant look, one casual look.
I have to go now, have lots of things to do. Have a cool end of the week!

Sporty-chic and some thoughts about life

Shirt/Cămașă - Bershka via Kurtmann.ro
Skirt/Fustă - Esmara
Sandals/Sandale - Foymall
Watch/Ceas - I Like Paper
Sunglasses/Ochelari de soare - Meli Melo

EN: Do you ever feel trapped on your daily routine and forget how to live, I mean really live?! I am in this situation for a while and I'm looking for a way out. I feel like I am in vicious circle and I'm in a fight to stop it. I do think we often forget what is important in life and we focus too much on our job, on a project, etc, and we don't take in consideration the small things that makes us happy. We often think success is equal with happiness, but most of the times we sacrificed so much in our way to success that when we finally achieve it we no longer feel content. And after we reached a goal we want more and more and more. How about being happy when we spend time with the family, with our friends or when we are taking a walk, how about we enjoy the coffee in the morning while admiring the view, how about that, guys, how about cherishing those moments? I dare you for a while to forget about everything except what makes you happy, focus on that, find out what really makes you wake up in the morning and make the best of it!

As for the outfit, I'm in the sporty-chic mood right now. The baseball shirt inspired me to create this kind of look. You will see me more often wearing casual clothes with a twist. The watch is pretty awesome because is made of paper and tearproof and waterresistant TYVEK. I have it for while and wore it only once. You can see that outfit here. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Thanks for reading!
