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!

Make cool combos!

EN: I'm happy that the weather is still good right now. I can wear my lovely tops and skirts easily. But I do get that melancholy knowing the fall is fast approaching. I will definitely miss to bare my legs and enjoy the warm rays of sunshine. But until then let's take advantage of this beautiful summer.
I'm wearing a lovely top that resemblance very much with our Romanian traditional blouse: ia. This was the main reason I've ordered it. It does have a lovely fabric and I can wear it in numerous combination. I usually try to order clothes that can be worn in many outfits, I love versatility. You should get a top like this too, it will definitely make you feel wonderful and very feminine. 
I leave you with the photos. Have the coolest weekend!

Photoshoot for Moda&Style

EN: Hey, babes! I'm back with a photoshoot I did a while ago for Moda&Style, a luxury fashion retailer selling international brands. It was a fun day with fellow bloggers as we've tried clothes from REDValentino, Armani, Versace and so on. Here are my four outfits. Let me know your thoughts! :)

Just enjoy it!

EN: Is been a rather quiet month here on the blog, but an extremely hectic one in my life. I've took some huge decisions, made some big changes. I'm still not sure if they were the right ones, I think time will tell. And I do hope these decisions won't transform in my biggest regrets.
As for the outfit, the photos were taken in a more calm period, you can see I was all smiles and in a very good mood. Is one of my favorite outfits from this summer, a look that I feel most comfortable wearing. The Coke tee is a great piece and although I'm not so much of a Coke drinker I really enjoy this top. Hope you like my outfit and wish me luck in my new life! :)

The girls of summer

Top, pants/Bluză, pantaloni - H&M
Hat/Pălărie - C&A
Sandals/Sandale - random store
Bracelets/Brățări - random stores

EN: Beautiful days of summer begin with good friends. What can be better than sharing some time with the gals, making some photos, enjoying the sun and just talking about whatever. The day when I took these photos was one of those days. I love the days when I smile, when everything is so simple, when all the little things seem so much more important. Too bad that they are not as frequent anymore. I miss those days and I miss the old me. All the things we go through in life really change us, maybe not that deep down, but they still do. Sometimes we forget to smile and we just need somebody to remind us how to do it. Do you have that somebody in your life?
The outfit is that outfit perfect for summer: loose, comfy pants, a crop top and a hat. Simple, yet chic. Casual, yet fancy. Just like that.

Fringes addict

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!

A cheap dress that looks like a million bucks!

Dress/Rochie - second hand store
Earrings/Cercei - from a fair
Sandals/Sandale - Zara

EN: Lately I've been posting one casual look and one elegant look. It seems I keep following that pattern, because after the sporty-chic look from my previous post, now is time again for an elegant outfit. My hair didn't had multiple shades of blue just yet. You can read my post Dare to mix prints! if you want to find out more about my experience.
Today's dress has a lovely orange color, although in the photos seems red. I got it from a second hand store along with a too large blazer that ended up in the donation bag. I paid a modest amount of money on the dress, but it looks like a million bucks! I like everything about it, the flattering shape, the fabric, the color. The photos doesn't do it justice. The earrings were just 1 euro, bought them from a fair where I've attended as a seller. 
What I want to highlight here is in fact the message that this blog wants to send: you can be chic even with a small budget.

A Redd's Mojito is keeping me busy, so talk to you later. Enjoy the photos!

Bag, sunglassses/Geantă, ochelari de soare - Meli Melo
Hair dye/Vopsea de păr - Pravana

EN: Since my hair got blonde, I've decided to go wild and do to it whatever I feel like it. Now I'm in the blue/green period. In fact I wanted to do just some highlights in blue, green, purple, pink and orange, but when I washed it the blue spread to all the other colors. :)) The result: this undetermined hair color. :)) I do think it looks funky though. Again I have to thank Pravana for all the amazing hair dyes. I just love the colors they have. The Vivids, Pastels and Neons ranges are the best! You have to try them if you want colorful hair. They also have the ChromaSilk range that it is unique in that it can be used both as permanent dye, as well as semi-permanent dye, simply using a different oxidant. The hair care products and the hair styling products are really good too. I'm sure if you try something from Pravana you will become a loyal customer.
As for the outfit, wild is the word too. I've dared to mix different type of stripes and I think the outfit turned out pretty nice, if you ask me. The pants were 3/4, but because I'm really short that length was really weird on me, so I just opened the stitch and made them for my liking. They are very light and good for wearing in summer. 
What do you think of my new look?

Sporty-chic and some thoughts about life

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!

EN: I guess many of you are on vacation now and having a great time, but I'm still in Bucharest and I have a new summery post for you. A dress with a floral print, colorful, chic, perfect for summer. It makes an interesting contrast with my latest post where I wore an outfit with a totally different style. I always like to make different combinations. I don't have my words with me today, so I leave you to enjoy the weekend and I want to hear your thoughts about the outfit.

Denim on denim - the cool combo

7/22/15

Top/Vestă - Walktrendy
Denim shorts/Pantaloni scurți - second hand store
Sandals/Sandale - Tally Weijl
Watch/Ceas - JORD

EN: I can't believe how hot it is in Bucharest, at 9 a.m there were 35 ºC (95 ºF). Freaking hot! In this weather is so hard to dress elegant, all you want is to throw some clothes on that will keep you cool a bit. Although is a real challenge! Btw, you can rarely see buses with air conditioning, I think there are 50 ºC there and no air at all, is a crime! You can't imagine how I hate that. Speaking of which, I was waiting for a bus today when another one, not the one that I needed, stopped at the station. All the people inside were dying from the heat, some of them had fans to make some air. And the bus had a huge commercial all over it saying: "Discover the best sensation of coolness!". What a huge paradox! I must admit I really laughed. I also wanted to take a picture, but my phone decided just then to stop working. Bummer!
Tell me, how is the weather where you live?

I want to talk a little about the outfit too. If you remember I was telling you in one of my previous posts that lately I'm a big fan of fringes. I only had black clothes with fringes, now I thought it was about time to add something more colorful: this denim top. It looks really cool and it definitely stands out! Paired it with another denim item in a darker color for a nice contrast. Hope you like it, guys!

Palazzo pants - an amazing choice for summer

EN: Yeah, people, I've dyed my hair a while ago. You must be thinking I'm too old for this, but trust me, age is just a number and the only numbers that count for me right now are the ones in my bank account. :))
The highlights were made, as usual with Pravana (semi-permanent dye which can be found here in many, many super cool shades). If you want to read more about my experience with Pravana and how you can dye your hair at home do check out this article: Tips on how to get a colorful hair.
As the outfit goes, I'm going cuckoo over palazzo pants lately. I've bought 3 pairs in only a few weeks. I had no idea they will look great on me, and when I've discovered that, I was as excited as Columbus when he discovered America. The beautiful sandals are from Stradivarius via Kurtmann.ro, they are comfy and  I can wear them in so many combos, one of the reason I bought them in the first place.
Btw, Kurtmann has crazy sales, 70% off, so hurry up and get cool stuff!

The pink girl

Dress/Rochie - Emamoda
Shoes/Pantofi - Stradivarius

EN: An outfit that I wore a month and a half ago at the 7 years anniversary party of Marie Claire Romania. A lovely party that took place at a new pool from Bucharest in a rainy summer day.
All I can say is that I got soaking wet on my way to the party, underwear wet, if you know what I'm saying. :)) So I had to head back home, dry my hair, redo my make-up, dry my clothes and get back on the road to the other side of Bucharest...yeah, dreamy! I got a little wet at the party too, but Meli Melo offered some umbrellas and saved the situation a little.
Yes, I'm wearing a lot of pink, so take a long look, because you won't see me like that very soon. And the hair still had an orange hue, because now I'm a blonde, weather I want it or not.
Have a breezy Sunday, dears!

In the summer keep it simple, yet chic!

Earrings/Cercei - Six
EN: Apart from black that I began wearing increasingly more often, fringes are present quite frequently in my outfits lately. Proof are also these previous posts: Fringes here, fringes there, fringes everywhere! and Babe, stroll with that black fringed dress! Not to tell you that I just received a fringed denim vest. Hello, new obsession! :D
Since I praised so much the fringes, you can imagine how much I like the top (that btw now is on sale at just $9,99) from today's post. It has a boho-hippie air and a soft, easy fabric. I chose to wear it with a pair of 3/4 pants and colorful sandals for a casual, yet chic look. Summer is really here, so you won't see me in pants too often from now on.
Speaking of which, where will you spend your vacation?

Babe, stroll with that black fringed dress!

EN: Unlike other summers, this summer I wore a lot of black. Proof: today's look. Perhaps it fits my current state of mind and therefore I insist with more black.
What can I say, this fringed dress is wow, but it has a "little" drawback: you can see my panties when I stroll like a diva on the streets of Bucharest. :)) And you know that people never stare or make inappropriate comments on the streets. :)) Exactly, they do it even when you are dressed decently.
Now I think you are asking yourself two normal questions: why the hell you went out of the house knowing everyone could see your underwear and how did you walked like that?
The answers are pretty simple: when this lunatic tried on the dress no underwear showed up in the picture (I guess I take bigger steps on the street, maybe a little wind contributed too). As for how did she walked like that: fortunately she had a rather large bag in her hand and held it in front all the way, no, it wasn't obvious she was hiding something. :)))

Maybe you notice a different hairdo too. What do you think about it?
Anyway since I've made these photos my hair color changed considerably. If you follow me on Facebook you know what I'm talking about.

That's it for today, have a cool week! :)

EN: It seems that lately I'm unable to post more often. Must be the summer air that keeps me away from blogging. :D I do have a lot of outfits photographed, so clearly this isn't the problem. And since I have them, I must begin showing them to you. So today we have one casual dress with an interesting detail. If it doesn't have an interesting detail, this girl won't like it. :)) We also have some chunky shoes, why have long sexy legs with a pair of heels when we can wear these shoes?! :)) And accessories, of course! This is the outfit. Make abstraction of the hair, the bangs didn't had their best day. 
The dress is so comfy that I could wear it all summer, if it didn't had long sleeves. I just rolled them for this look.
Dear folks, what can I say, I hope I will "see" you soon. Have a cool day!

EN: Yes, instead of posting more often as I said in my latest post, I'm posting even more rarely. Life has been more hectic than I've expected. Every day I have been on the run, so when I finally got a break today my first thought was to make a post on the blog. I missed doing it! 
Of course I'm going to show you soon some photos from the events I've attended lately and they have been a few. I'm also thinking of doing a video in the near future. In fact, I thought for a while about it, but didn't had the time, nor the patience to learn how to edit a video. But I will! 
About the outfit: is finally a more colorful one. I've noticed that in the last month almost all my outfits included black and not so cheerful colors, like they usually did. A change had to be done so today we're having fuchsia, blue, light pink, white.
The piece of resistance are these cool sandals from Bershka via Kurtmann. That transparent heel is pretty amazing. You agree? And the fact they are comfortable is such a big plus. I could wear them non-stop.
Tell me, which colors you love to wear in summer?

Orange is the new black

Dress/Rochie - Hybrid 
Coat/Haină - SheIn

Watch - JORD
Earrings/Cercei - Rossetti

EN: Oh, man, is been a while since my last outfit post! The truth is I have been a bit busy these last weeks, but also in no mood to post something. I guess summer does that to a person, makes it wanna go out more and have fun. :)
The outfit you are seeing today is the one I wore at the Digital Divas event. You can also notice a new hair color and haircut. What do you think about it? In love with that orange, but unfortunately after just two washes I'm almost a blondie. Already thinking of my next hair color. It will be a wild one, as most of the ones I had were.
You already saw this coat in a previous post, as well as the watch. The novelty in this outfit is this laser cut faux leather mini dress in black & lime. Is pretty awesome and is modern and cool, just how I like it. You will definitely stand out from the crowd in a dress like this. You can wear it at an event or on a night out.
Darlings, thank you for reading my blog and I hope I will see you on Instagram and Facebook too. :)

Fringes here, fringes there, fringes everywhere!

Dress/Rochie - HERE
Shoes/Pantofi - Stradivarius
Earrings/Cercei - Six

EN: Fringes, baby! They look so cool! I especially love them in black outfits. This dress from Walktrendy stole my heart! So I dolled up and took her out in the world. :D It was a must, don't you think?
I have lots of outfits that are waiting to be posted, in many of them I even wear jackets, so you can imagine I took the photos a while ago. I haven't managed to load them on the blog, but I hope I will pretty soon. Until then I leave you with the one from today. My lack of inspiration is very noticeable tonight, so I better go before debiting nonsense.
P.S: If you love this dress as much as I do, buy it here

Reinventing the suit

Suit dress/Rochie sacou - HERE
Skirt/Fustă - Front Row Shop
Shoes/Pantofi - Stradivarius
Bag, necklace/Geantă, colier - Meli Melo
Watch/Ceas - random store

EN: The suit dress is very in trend right now. Although I'm not a trend follower, when I love an item I do wear it. I think the suit dress brings more chicness and at the same time sexiness to a look. It can make you more confident and can be easily dressed up or down: perfect for office or a business meeting, but also perfect for a casual day when wore with sneakers. I could also definitely wore the one from today without the skirt if I went clubbing. For day time, not so appropriate without the skirt, because is a bit short. 
I have a busy day, so unfortunately I have to keep it short. Don't forget today is the last day when you can vote for La Bohème as Best Fashion Blog at Digital Divas. The link for the voting is this one: http://www.expremio.com/digitaldivas/. Instead of La Bohème they wrote La Boh, that is me, so just check that box and click the "Vote" button. Thank you!
