Xmas crumbs

Although it comes a little bit too late, I didn't want to miss the chance to wish you all a very merry and happy Christmas or at least happy post-Christmas days :)
I took some self time during the past couple of days to spend with my family and friends, to go for walks, to go a little bit shopping and, obviously, to bake a little, one of my biggest passions, that I'm cultivating with any given opportunity. This time, I went for my famous chocolate cupcakes, macaroons and gingerbread. I am very happy with how the macaroons came out, since it's a very delicate and though process and this is only my second batch! Besides that, I did what any usual Romanian would: stuff themselves with delicious home-made food and very good red wine. I also got some very interesting presents and, like the tradition requires, decorated the Christmas tree. Some people usually do it beginning December, but I always do it the day before Christmas, while listening to carols and eating chocolate gingerbread:)
I am now leaving you with a selection of pictures that include the tree, the food and the gifts. I hope you all spent amazing days with your dear ones and see you again soon.

Weekend tidbits

Having your dream come true a.k.a. buying the perfect camera, has some perks. For example, I now never leave the house without it, pardon, him, in my bag and I never miss a chance to shoot something. Therefore, this weekend, which was a very busy one ( like most of my weekends, actually), I took advantage of the many activities and snapped some pics. Random things, like painting my nails or getting a new phone case ( yes, I am suddenly growing very fond of this kind of things, even if it means waiting one month and a half for them to arrive from Japan) are now so much more interesting. Also, taking pictures of food went to a whole new level.
But there were some highlights I couldn't capture in pictures, though. First of all, my beloved Johnny didn't capture the insightful message of Kafka's Trial when I went to see the play at the Danubian Theater Festival that took place this week in my hometown, nor the joy on my face when Prince-Charming brought me not one, but two wishing bracelets. Having remembered how much I had talked about them and how much I wanted one made my day.
Also, having some time on my own to simply lay in bed, check a magazine ( in which, as you can see, I appear as one of the finalists for Avantaje, a Romanian's women magazine) and catch up with friends has been a heavenly gift, especially now when I'm working on the biggest project of my life so far : Fash. Magazine. This is the baby of all my fashion fetishes and ideas, an online magazine created with love by me and some of my closest and, obviously, most talented and fashionable friends. You should check the Facebook page and await its launch at the beginning of November.
