Mission Statement

Apologies are to be avoided, right? Therefore let us start fresh!

However, I will try to motivate my prolongued absence through the fact that my life has suddenly become a life that is no longer mine. Silly as it might sound, it's frightening to see how all of my passions are now changing or, to say the least, transforming. On top of this, I have the pressure of final exams (which are only a month and a half away => double the scare). And the very reason for which I am sitting here today and typing away my thought and ideas of the moment (or actually the month), is that I have gotten the time to reflect upon the real reasons of why I even spend a second of my time thinking about this blog and the reasons I choose to continue. This is also the reason I'm not accompanying these gorgeous pictures with some fantastic words of wisdom or fabulousness. You will have to wait until future posts for that ( aka for me discussing 100 Years of Fashion ).

1. I started this blog out of a craving for success. I knew what I wanted and then I did what I wanted. It didn't turn out great though. I'm not a match for Chiara Ferragni or for the Fabulous Muses, that's for sure, but for me, personally, it's probably one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. No, I don't have a sad and weird life, but that's exactly it. I am always in search for something new and I get bored as fast as you can say "parrot" or "carrot". My blog has been around here for more than 2 years and that's probably the only thing I've done with such consistency.

2. But why didn't I start over fresh, with already gained knowledge and skills, so that I can become a match for the above mentioned? I have to confess, I have given that idea too much thought. Starting fresh, with a new name and valuable information and gadgets, it would seem easy-peasy. But I won't. Because every time I get this thought, I go to my blog and surf it, randomly, and I get to re-live so many of those fabulous moments I've shared with so many readers and it's always showing me from where I started and towards where I'm getting. It's been tracking my progress for the past 2 years and something and that is what makes it so special, both for me and for the loyal reader.

3. I am going to start fresh, but not in that way: I am adding rambling and removing planning. Hopefully, this will turn The Shoe Pendant back into something that represents me, and not the average fashion blogger (concept about which I will be talking shortly, in one of the next couple of posts).

Until my next entry, stay strong and believe in your accopmlishments, no matter how small they are to Madonna. They are probably the world to you!

Coffee rush

Hey,my dears! So long , no see. I've had some trouble with my internet connection and a lot of studying to do, so that sort of compensates for my lack of updates.
Today's a pretty boring day, full of learning and drinking coffee and ,well, taking photos on a coffee rush. It's not the wisest idea, but keeps my energy under control. Anyway, I've been thinking of what books I liked most from all the books I've read, and I think that a great nominee is "Coco Chanel" , that is why I took a photo of me reading it. Plus , since Valentine's Day was a couple of days ago, I decided I should shoe you who my Valentine is : she is my 11-year-old dog and her name is Oli. I adore her,and who else can be my Valentine if not her ?

Oh,and remember the article I told you about ? Here it is! It appeared a couple of days ago and I am incredibly proud !And because of that, I realized how many Romanian fashion bloggers really are, so I will start,from this post, to write my posts in Romanian too ,make it more accesible to the Romanian public.

Salut,dragii mei! Nu ne-am mai vazut de mult. Am avut niste probleme cu a mea conexiune de internet si mult de invatat,ceea ce eu ca ar compensa pentru lipsa de actualizari. Azi se prevede a fi o zi plictisitoare,plina de invatat si baut cafea si, ei bine,de facut poze dupa prea multa cafea.Nu e chiar cea mai inspirata idee, dar ma ajuta sa-mi tin nivelul de energie sub control.Oricum, m-am gandit ce carti mi-au placut cel mai mult din cele citite pana acum , iar "Coco Chanel" este una dintre cele nominalizate,asa ca m-am gandit sa o trag si pe ea in poza.
Plus,acum cateva zile a fost Sf. Valentin , prin urmare , trebuie sa va arat si perechea mea : Oli este catelusa mea de 11 ani .O ador si cine altcineva sa fie perechea mea ,daca nu ea?

A,si va amintiti ca am zis la un moment dat de un articol in care urma sa apar ? Ei bine, a aparut si sunt atat de mandra! Si multumita articolului am realizat cati bloggeri de moda sunt defapt in Romania si am hotarat sa imi scriu postarile de acum incolo si in romana,sa-l fac mai accesibil publicului romanesc.
