Rocks in the city

It's obviously Spring in the calendar but I guess train tickets were so expensive that it didn't quite reach Romania yet. Still, this didn't prevent me from walking the streets of one of my favorite cities in the world, Bucharest. See how I styled myself for a lovely day of walking around ( P.S. I brought some boots with me too) and enjoy some city-specific locations that, in an abstract way, fascinate me.

Almost over

Walking around the school yard where it all started gave me a lot of things to think of. As I went there yesterday, with my mind set on taking some outfit shots with a different background, it all hit me: I started school here 12 years ago and I'm now almost taking my so dreaded final exams and walking away forever. Sure, it might not be the same school as the highschool I'm studying at now, but I can't get my mind off what I've been through for the past decade and something. Remembering my first day here, when I showed up with ponytails and holding my mother's hand, and seeing myself today, wearing plum lipstick and fur, made me realize how much I've come and how different I am now.

And it makes me think: how soon will I be saying this about university?

Are those ugly shoes?

For someone who loves passion, sometimes, there doesn't exist any kind of question such as "Are those ugly shoes?" or "How hideous can a blazer be?", but only "With what should I match that?". A similar thing happened to me a couple of months ago, when, in the spur of the moment, I decided to purchase a pair of golden sports shoes(?!). When the package arrived a couple of days after, I was more than ecstatic with my newest foot jewels, but sadly, I could not find any outfit that would make them work. I searched for inspiration in all corners of the internet, but nothing would help. Until yesterday, my hope had been lost. But yestermorn, as I was looking for a shirt to wear, it hit me: I could finally wear my beloved golden sports shoes! The look is, as you can see, a little bit on the classical side, with the silk shirt and golden necklace, but what better treatment could I have given to my precious, maybe ugly, shoes:)?
Walking down the streets of my lovely small town of residence, I would soak my feet into the soft fabric and admire them in every available store window. They go so well on lazy Sundays.

Oxblood

As I was saying in my last post, it's autumn, my "mature" season. During September, October and November I usually tend to be more responsible: be on time, manage my activities better, improve time management, involve myself in serious projects and so on and so forth. Or at least I try to. This can be perfectly shown in the rhytim of my posts and the promises I make on the Facebook. For that, I will have to apologise for the 1000th time and try to make it up in the near future. But overlooking that, my school style has kicked in with rather comfortable clothes and, introducing in this post, the hit color of the season: oxblood. Having seen this color overtaking the most famous runways only fills my heart with joy, as it's one of my favorite colors and highly compliments my skin. Also, it goes extremely well on both clothing and accesories. And not to mention on my most amazing wedges, which I got about a year ago, on the spur of the moment, with some won coupon. Who knew they'd hit it so great this fall?

Denim and roses

Today was such a hectic day, though one of those days that make me stay up late and work even if I'm about do drop dead sleeping on my laptop. I've finished two articles for a magazine that I write for (are you interested in seeing them? One's called Christmas 101 and one is called New Year's Eve and they're all about the style of this season's dress code.) . Besides that, I had to do tons of erronds around town. I can't wait Sunday, to relax reading a good book :) (hopefully!!)

Azi a fost o zi haotica, desi una dintre acelea care ma fac sa stau treaza pana tarziu lucrand, chiar daca adorm cu nasul pe laptop. Am terminat 2 articole pentru o revista la care scriu (daca vreti, o sa le postez si pe blog. Unul se numeste Christmas 101 si unul New Year's Eve, ambele fiind despre trendurile perioadei). Pe langa asta, am alergat prin oras dintr-un colt in altul. Abia astept sa vina ziua de duminica, cand voi citi o carte si ma voi relaxa (sper!!!)

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 ?

Calendar and show

Hey,sweeties. I've done ,together with a lot of friends,a photo shoot for the poster of another charity show we're doing and for a charitable calendar.

Have you ever felt that something has gone missing and it might not come back ? Or how is it when you know that your are the one that is responsible for any major change ? That change that is irreversible and with permanent damage .It feels so overwhelming and makes you the prisoner of anxiety. And that is all reflected in the faces you do, the laughters, the way you act,even the clothes you wear !
