A woman's affair

Oups! Seems like I said I would post this yesterday and I kind of missed the deadline. It's been happening to me lately: skiping deadlines, missing appointments, forgeting promises. I'm just too stressed. I'm even too tired and lifeless that I can't strike a pose for an outfit post. However, it seems like I'm not always that careless (thank you so much, past me, for taking these gorgeous pics!!). Upon rearranging my computer files (because yes, procrastination), I discovered that I had yet to unleash some of my past looks, even one from the Basic Item series I was promising before I left for Craiova.

As for the look, you might say it's not that me. And it actually isn't. I am in love with color, more or less, and I always add that touch of crazy and chic in all of my outfits, but it seems like I went for a more mature look in this one. I don't really remember the story I wanted to tell with this outfit, not because it was too long ago, but because it's so simple, yet refined, that it invites anyone that sees it to think of a story.

Today, I think that this semi-transparent blouse is the perfect item for a business woman: soft and delicate in the front, and edgy in the back. You know, like in that quote. Who's quote? The Iron Lady's, of course!

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

Go to Skirt Bike 2012

Dear girly bikers, you are all invited to SkirtBike Bucharest, on the 26th of May, around 16:30 in Circus Park. Bring your flowery garments, be chic, wear a dress or a skirt, heels or flats, a hat, maybe a scarf. Get flowers braided through your hair and don't leave your bike unadorned either. You must show that your bikes do make you beautiful.

Itinerary

 Aleea Circului – Șos. Stefan cel Mare – Calea Dorobanților – Piaţa Charles de Gaulle – Bd. Aviatorilor, until Herăstrău,  Pescăruș Entrance (șoseaua Nordului).  

Afterwards, stay for some tea and stories on the grazing at Roaba de Cultura, where Green Revolution will be delighting with a concert.

For all those that are interested and able to show up (as I cannot and I am deeply sad with the idea), here are some pictures that would have inspired me even further , as the concept is very dear to me, since my childhood passion has been riding my bicycle up and down the hills of my grandmother's village.

I've got mail!

Today I got a phonecall from DHL, telling me that I had a package pending, from the UK. And when I got home, I found these amazing shoes, courtesy of Next. I have joined their blogger campaign over at Next Blogger Network a couple of weeks ago and have discovered some pretty amazing possibilities. I am so happy with my new babies! 

 Azi am primit un telefon de la DHL, anuntandu-ma ca aveam un colet din Marea Britanie. Si cand am ajuns acasa, am gasit acesti pantofi superbi, de la Next. M-am alaturat campaniei lor pentru bloggeri : Next Blogger Network si am descoperit multe posibilitati. Asa fericita sunt cu bebelusii mei cei noi!

Uniforms

Though I miserably failed to post my back to school look , I realise now that almost everything I got for school this year is useless. Because yes, after 2 years of highschool,they try, once more , to implement a standard uniform. The regulations require grey ,office trousers, white(light pink/grey/light blue/black) shirt and navy blazers. This seems quite okay,right ? But hey , today , our principle got us all out in front of the school to tell us that our uniform has to look like these 3 items put together :

TopShop blouse (see more cotton blouses)

Salvatore ferragamo (clipped to polyvore.com)

Blazer (see more tailored blazers)
And yes, we are not allowed to use black trousers . And jeans (no matter what color are not accepted!!! ) . Also, they had to tell us that we are to avoid wearing too much make-up. And check this out : our heels should be of a minimum height , if non-existent !

Do you agree with these pieces ? Or even better : do you have any uniform suggestions ?

Harry Potter,Deathly Hallows and a Symphonic Concert

After my last post , I decided I should cut down on bread a little. It's not quite flattering for the figure. And so ,I decided to go out and treat myself for this decision ! And guess where I went ! To a symphonic concert. I had been given the invite and thought I should make the most out of this experience so I went with a bunch of friends . It rained the entire day and we had to rush. Also, I lost a piece of my shoe (and I need to get it fixed) . The concert was amazing : we listened to pieces from Vivaldi (his Concerto Grosso to be more precise) , C.Porumbescu,the Ballad and much more ! I heartly recommend going to such concerts . And dressing up for the occasion too.
And when I got home,what better things did I have to do,if not watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , the first part. I was saving it to see it together with part two,but I couldn't wait any longer , so I saw it last night. I won't be too much of a spoiler , but I have to say that a certain scene has fascinated me : at Bill and Fleur's wedding, when the Death Eaters arrive , Ron grabs Hermione and Harry runs towards Ginny ,but is turned around by Lupin , who only wanted to save him. That scene is so incredibly romantic. I adored it. Now I have to keep on dreaming until part two arrives . Though I wish that would never happen , since it would be the real end to the story and I don't want it to end , mostly because it has been the story of my childhood and probably the best story someone could think of.
