The book of faces

Obsessions come in different shapes and sizes. They sometimes appear as deep addictions, but sometimes they don't even strike as important because they seem mere whims. 

In nowadays' society, one ruled by the need of communication and of a constant socialising mood, the Facebook addiction has become of such a depth that it might soon require a proper medication.

I don't want to be a cheerleader

We`re breaking boundaries. And we`re not doing the same old little cliché of, "Oh, cheerleaders are dumb, so let`s make fun of them".

No, darling, no one is messing with the cheerleaders! 

Never mess with the cheerleaders, they'll make you fall in love with them.  So step back, think again and go dye your hair. Or lose some weight. Or eat a ton of Spaghetti Millanesse.

In fact, do something they think you will never do: make a change to yourself, change yourself and make you the best you you would like to know! Don't ever think of how it will be seen by them, but how it will be seen by you, how your mirror will take it and most importantly, how your ego will take it.

Is he romantic?

On a yearly basis, around the 14th of February, people get all worked up about Valentine's Day, but an eternal single as myself will never get nervous about not knowing how to select the perfect gift for my Valentine (not that my gift picking abilities would be less than extraordinary), I will always get busy choosing the perfect outfit for the night out with my friends.

But, as cynical as I could be, I have plenty inspiration to share with all of you, so, while browsing Next's website, I fell in love with a couple of dresses which I decided to mix with some state of the art accesories.

Besides that, the people at Next have read my mind with their newest gift selector. Also, along with choosing great gifts according to your better half's tastes, it lets you put in you own ID and get you that perfect outfit.

Safe Keeping

As a little girl, my mother taught me that the most precious belongings should be kept under protection from the outside evil: the newest dress was to be worn only on special ocassion, shiny shoes shouldn't be worn in dusty places and the finest jewelry should be protected from the direct view of indiscret visitors.

And either saddly or happily, something of that old, annoying habit has stuck with me, inside of my insidious, quirky brain and it sometimes show up in my daily life.

This time, it happened with my newest pair of babies : the PLV Irinas.

Chance had fallen over me last summer, on a contest on Twitter, but the epicness of Romania's shipping system failure reached me soon after. Nevertheless, I insisted on getting them home, next to me, and with the help of a friend currently residing in the US, I got them home, safe and sound.

As my above mentioned quirk requires, I stored them for safe keeping and have only worn them once, on my 18th birthday and them left them alone in a drawer under my bed.

Finally, this morning I realised that they had the genes of stars, so here they are, shining away in the spotlight!

Color block's not dead

Color blocking has been my favourite trend of the past season, but now that they're gone into the sad closet of passed trends that await redescovering, I don not quite miss it as much as I should. In fact, I await the Fin  de Hiver sales for the usual Shop Till You Drop experience that will bring my closet closer and closer to total colaps.
But going back to trends that are meant to be forgotten and rediscovered in a continuous cycle, this spring, we meet a one long ago lost love of mine: pastels. I cannot wait to buying soft pink skirts, mint asymetric blouses, long creamy dresses and braiding flowers in my future red locks.
And as a tribute to my last season love, I combined strong colors with a little bit of power print ( check the House of Art scarf for explanations) and some soft jean and white silk shirt.
Expect further remembering of old trends and praising of the newly rediscovered ones.

Milestones

“A milestone passed, new things begun, dreams as shining as the sun, a goal achieved, a victory won! 

This is what probably describes best my feelings at the moment. I am proud to announce my first glory in fashion-blogging matters: I have succeeded in posting for 100 times!
My tendency to keep things going is usually not so rewarding, since it doesn't quite exist, but this time, I am proud I have stuck with my passion for fashion long enough to reach this milestone.
And to celebrate,I decided to create one of my most quirky outfits: mixing animal print with leather shorts and knitter sweaters might not seem my usual go-to dress-up, but it certainly has a special relationship with my soul. Sparkly clutches have a way of saying "Heya, handsome!" to old, worn-out UGG boots like not other.
Embellished duck rings and knitted leather bracelets are funky and make my hands smile, if not for the chipped off metallic blue nailpolish on my fingernails .
All in all, what I wish for from now on is that I reach my 1000th post milestone, my 100000th and so on. I wish for my little baby to prosper into a world where mixing my heart with my closet is not only tricky, but amazing.

An Oxford man

"An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit."

"Nevertheless he’s an Oxford man."

As not all that glitters is gold, nor does a man who wears a pink suit cease to be an Oxford man. And as simple as that, I do not stop being an boheme reader, an excentric traveller, a quirky dancer and an even more strange woman-to be, even if I hide under classy clothes embelished with simple cuts and delicate tear-drop earrings.

I pose in the cold, I stay up late in the night and I dream of art: any form of it, from the newest novel I imagine writing to the next post I share on my blog.

All that glitters

All that glitters is not gold. Sometimes, the brightest diamond is in fact a really well polished piece of cubic zirconium, but everything that is shallow will never take notice of something that hides beneath a well-trimmed surface, believing that if what they see is beautiful, what they don't see will not hurt them.

In fact, in a society reigned by consumerism, like society is nowadays, more and more individuals tend to give value to what is not valuable and depreciate the entire beauty and meaning of life.

The world's tea party now stands divivded into two big and well separated categories : the shallow and the deep.

Will you be deep? Will you join the dark side?
