The Snowflake and The Avalanche

,,No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." Voltaire  It's been a very busy period for fashion bloggers all over the world: flying to Milan, London, Paris and so on, planning outfits, charging and recharging camera batteries, posting on blogs and so many more. It's also been a little bit of a renaissance of the fashion lovers that attend the above mentioned events. This change is mostly owed to Suzy Menkes' Fashion Circus article . Bloggers ( at least some of them) started going for simpler combinations and outrageous (meaning hideous) outfits were a little bit less on display. Or so it seems from the pictures that are rolling around the WWW right now.

Your average day

Sometimes, it rains. Sometimes, it rains a lot. Sometimes, this happens in my little town, thus making me completely unable to shoot any kind of outdoor photo (for days). Today, however, I received a lovely gift from Prince Charming, a new camera lens, and I simply had to test it. I'm sure I'm not even close to understanding how it really works, but I thought that my today outfit, which is something I usually go to when going to school,was good enough to honor the new tech acquisition.

I really hope the sun is going to lighten us up with its presence (see what I did there?) and I'm going to be able to shoot some of the outfits that have been wandering around my mind for weeks now!

Stay fabulous and see you soon =)

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.
