Simona Semen Fall-Winter 2012

Winter is yet another step closer and with only 3 more months left until the cold month of December, summer seems now so far away. This time of the year gets me and so many more others, cynical, sarcastic and maybe depressive. It's the time my maturity reaches high levels and it always reflects in my clothing style. Each year, when school starts my shopping list includes dark shades, stiff fabrics and a whole new rather "grown-up" orientation. This autumn, the collection that came to light thanks to Simona Semen's hands is perfectly molded on this need of becoming mature, leaving the daily for a long lost paradise.
Fabrics are perfectly chosen to fulfill this need and, in my opinion, the best piece of the collection, the cut-out pants, reflect deep interior feelings of redescovering oneself.
A detail that makes this photoshoot so perfect for me is a very nice touch: the BONE accesories, designed by Ioana Liliana Gheorghe.
Heaven Inside is, indeed, a true representation of the giving up in order to reach paradise.

A happy Advent Calendar or how to keep your smile throughout December

Happy Birthday, Romania! Happy December and therefore hello, Christmas wishes, cosy dinners, tree trimming and so on! It's the first day of Winter and the first day when you should take a piece of candy from the Advent Calendar. But guess again: my special calendar's treats don't consist of candy (since I want to keep my figure slim), but of motivational and inspirational quotes that will make me stay happy during the Holiday season. And another way to keep bloggers happy this time of the year, except those amazing presents they'll find under the tree, there's making a good editorial planner. Check mine by clicking "more". 

 La multi ani, Romania! Decembrie fericit si prin urmare, salutare, dorinte de Craciun, cine intime, impodobit de brad si multe altele! E prima zi de iarna si prima zi in care ar trebui sa scoti o bomboana din calendarul de Advent. Dar mai ganditi-va o data : calendarul meu de advent e unul mai special, adica dulciurile nu sunt dulciuri, ci foite colorate cu citate motivationale care o sa ma faca sa zambesc pe toata durata sarbatorilor de iarna. Si o alta metoda de-a pastra bloggerii fericiti in sezonul acesta, cu exceptia unor cadouri nemaipomenite sub brad, este un plan editorial bine pus la punct. Uite-l si pe-al meu, dand click pe "more".
