Azi incepe weekendul… Si se anunta unul calduros… sper sa imi onorez promisiunea de a posta ce am shoppinguit la Barcelona si sa pun si toate minunile descoperite si executate saptamana asta pe Dream Dressing. Ieri am descoperit o rochie senzationala ce a fost a bunicii mele si care e mai actuala acum decat trei sferturi din garderoba mea… Sper ca voi posta maine poze…
Va urez un weekend minunat!!
Azi am primit narcise… m-am trezit de dimineata cu ele pe birou si mi-am amintit ce uitasem cand m-am trezit de dimineata: Ca a venit primavara… Vremea de afara imi aducea mai degraba aminte de toamna, iar frigul (bine, racoarea, eu am perceput-o ca frig datorita hainelor lejere) imi rascolea amintirile despre iarna (de vreo saptamana nu mai simtisem senzatia de frig, si asta cred ca e motivul pentru care iubesc primavara si vara)…
Dar sa revenim, am ajuns la birou si am gasit un buchetel de narcise intr-un pahar de apa… Azi toata ziua s-au uitat la mine iar culoarea lor a facut o caldura in birou de a trebuit sa ies la un moment dat sa ma plimb pe afara… Unde tocmai plouase… In gradinile din jur alte narcise se uitau la mine… Si am decis sa scriu despre ele…
Asadar dimineata am primit narcise galbene si…
PS: Aseara cand am ajuns acasa am constat ca mama imi cumparase narcise albe. Everybody loves me 
Let’s talk about fashion blogs… Since this wants to be one, let’s see who inspired me and still inspires me in talking about fashion and style.
My mornings would be a lot sadder without Betty, Karla, Tokyobahnbao, Rumi or Jane. In addition, I read a bunch of Romanian fashion blogs, such as, Style Diary, Roxana Radu, Adelle or Style Puzzle.
Betty is French. She is tall and slim (at least that is what I can tell from her pictures). She has an exquisite eclectic style, loves vintage stuff and suffers from French Chic Syndrome.
Tokyobanhbao is Betty’s friend. She loves beautiful comfortable clothes, layering and she writes about restaurants and “gourmandises”. She has magical hands and illustrates her blog with her own drawings.
The America Rumi is the quintessence of coolness. She just returned from Paris where she was invited by Esteban Cortazar (after seeing her blog), to attend the Ungaro fashion show.
Jane is from Texas and she is only 16. Yes, that’s right, she is extremely young and very beautiful. Her taste in fashion is overwhelming. Her family, especially her mother, a fashion addict and former shop owner, supports her, and her blog is like a wonderland. Jane is surprising, sometimes shocking, but always as close to perfection as you can get. She has a passion for shoes, vintage clothes and dressing up, and she has the courage and possibility of fulfilling that passion.
The Romanian fashion blogs have some important exponents, from who I have my personal favorites. Here they are, in no particular order:
Style Diary is a very well written blog that aims to “educate” its audience in the style and fashion matter. Irina is a stylist and a style consultant. She explains stuff, talks about colors, materials, textures, designers and their collections. She does everything without becoming a prig or showing off.
Roxana Radu is acid, nonconformist, socially involved and very honest. She talks about herself critically and that enables her to constructively criticize others. Even then, she does it in her name, under the brand of her specialized opinion, not in the name of the whole society.
These are only a few of the most representative fashion blogs I read (maybe I will have time to post a part II of this article). I check many more for updates every day, feeling a little disappointed when the title of the last post feels familiar. These blogs are a great inspiration source for me and many other readers, and we can only admire these girls.
Christophe Decarnin made me forget about the nude colors of spring, of pink and yellow, colors that naturally I am eager to wear… The fall winter collection follows the lines of the spring-summer collection, with the big shoulders and rock attitude, but there is a more subtle feeling, a more elegant touch… The whole show was dominated by black, white and grey, emphasized by touches of deep blue…
It makes you dream of parties in secret clubs, of foggy afternoons in dark cafes… Of urban spleen and superheroes’ secret identities… I am sure that the modern WonderWoman would leave the ’70 red and blue costume for a dress and a pair of boots from this collection… Maybe it’s the rain outside, but I cannot stop daydreaming of wearing these amazing pieces…
Feast your eyes on these wonders…

Today it rained (it still does, at the moment I am writing this post)… Therefore, I figured, how about a stylish umbrella…? I will always remember the gorgeous umbrella Charlotte had in an episode of SATC. So, let’s talk umbrellas:
twilight umbrellas with optic fiber and batteries
chinese silk cloth umbrellas
Valentine umbrellas
transparent polka dot umbrellas
leaf shaped umbrellas
Sexy umbrellas
This is a set on polyvore I made once when thinking about Charlotte’s umbrella:

This morning I woke up with an image of the motion picture Monalisa Smile in my head… In addition, before I got out of bed I decided to wear something that would make me feel like I belonged in the 1950s at Wellesley College… This is an idea of what I wore:

Today I was in an elegant mood… I wanted to wear something classy to make me feel a tingle of arrogance building inside of me while walking to work… Therefore, I decided to wear my little black office dress (with a beautiful round collar and a satin bow above the waist)… Very sixties, since my icons for classy and elegant looks are Jackie and Audrey… I didn’t want wear boots (spring came after all, even if only on the calendar), so I chose a pair of shoes, that work perfectly with the dress… I added a 3/4 sleeves jacket, long gloves (purple, they are the touch of color of my outfit) and a silk caré scarf…
Here is an idea of the ensemble, hope to post tommorow pictures of the real thing

What do you think about people that are not aware of their own limits (or if they are, they choose to ignore them)?
I mean, people who try to make you believe that they are the best at something they don’t have a clue about, people that imagine that by buying an extravagant car (and in the mean time, he is buried in debts) is better than you, people that are more than overweight and wear tight clothes (usually a size or two smaller) and think they are fabulous?
People that choose to ignore any flaws they might have and believe they are perfect, because a magazine thought them that: even if you do not have the qualities, with the right attitude you can fool everyone… Maybe this is the right attitude (at least in Romania) and they are the ones who will finally win…
So please tell me, do you think, I am being mean, and people that are not satisfied with themselves should be encouraged to think highly of them and not try to improve the things they need improved?
They should follow literally the advices they find on the Internet or in magazines, where they tell you to be proud of your body no matter of its shape or that every day tanning sessions or a bottle of pink lip-gloss used daily are going to get you the man (men :p) of your life…
I think that it is very wrong… That we live in a f****d up world ruled by ignorant people that consider themselves geniuses… But hey, that is only my opinion… I would like to hear yours…
Have a stupidity free life…
Today was a “good” day… and it is still before noon… Damn!! It started well: I ripped my stockings on my way to work (and I cannot understand how I could have ripped a pair of 100 denier stockings and make a perfectly round hole in them just above the knee and exactly below the end of my dress), so I searched for a shop where I could find a new pair of stockings… In a supermarket, I found only 15 denier stockings, and their color was something between sand and mud…
I imagined for 5 seconds how my feet would look wrapped in that hideous color and decided to walk away… Maybe I will get lucky, and find something better at the kiosks in the subway station… if not, then maybe my co-workers will think I did it on purpose, they look strange at me anyway when I wear something different from a bulky sweater and jeans… And that is basically every day…
Descending the subway’s stairs, I could see the people’s eyes directing straight to my legs (or was it my imagination?)… I tried to look like I didn’t care, that it was the key point of my look (even though I am wearing a very serious grey office dress and black patent boots) and I started cursing in my mind the fact that I didn’t have the inspiration of making a few other holes to suggest at least the intention…
But then I found a light… Represented by a kiosk in the subway station where the seller was a nice middle-aged woman… I went to the tiny window, and with despair written all over my face, asked for a pair of No. II 60+ denier stockings on grey or black… She said that she doesn’t’ have anything grey ( my outfit was all grey) and started to look frantically in her boxes for something black (… the next best thing, I thought)… And then she came back to the tiny window, and with a warm smile she asked if I didn’t prefer something purple or dark red… Hmm, of course, I said, and I chose the purple (actually, they were kind of plum)…
The first thing I did after arriving at work I went to the bathroom and changed into my all new stockings… And they are great… The color is perfect, they match the necklace I am wearing, and I feel great in them… I kept my ripped stockings as well, maybe I will put in action my plan of ripping them more… I will keep you posted, and maybe take photos of the look I will create with them…
Have a nice day!!
