The last leaf

It's been more than two weeks since I stepped ( more or less gracefully) on the steps of the restaurant where our Senior Prom was held. It is only now that I am realizing how fast time goes and how time is probably the only thing I don't have right now. Being burried under piles of endless finals material with a desire to pump caffeine through my entire system, I want to take the time and acknowledge the times that have passed, just to make a clean slate to the ones that are coming.

What was highschool for me? Probably what it was for most of the people in the world: 4 years filled with (unfounded) drama, delightful (and not so delightful) new experiences, new friends, best friends, frenemies (*wink*) and body image issues ( was I too fat?). It was a great life experience, though probably not the best so far, but I do have to give it some credit for getting me together with some of my best friends and Prince Charming ( yes, the people I adore with all my heart). It tought me how to experience intense feelings (not only thanks to Prince Charming *wink again*), but also to the people that thought me there was a reason fairytales were written: to put the bad guy to sleep!

But about Prom night? It was loads of fun (though a little short-cut if you ask me), it gave me and my besties to feel like princesses for a night and wear long, sexy gowns (though mine was probably the most nerve-wrecking experience I've had), luxurious hairstyles and ravishing make-up. The photos are proof of how well we felt and we can only wish to have the same impressions after our 10-year reunion (which I cannot wait for more than this!!!).

All in all, it's been a fun set of years and we can now only ask ourselves what our future (and our finals) has set up for us.

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.

Glittery

I will always cherrish most the items I buy with money earned on my own. And this is how these shoes' story begins. A couple of weeks ago I discovered I had some money on my PayPal account and decided I should spend them. So I then went along on a journey to discover the perfect piece under 20 $. And there I found these lovely Asos babies. And now, one week and a half later, I find myself looking at them and contemplating every stitch. 

I love the combination between the golden fabric, the black shoelaces and the white sole. I believe that they're so easy to mix with any other type of clothing, both with jeans and a t-shirt or with a fancier dress.

Safe Keeping

As a little girl, my mother taught me that the most precious belongings should be kept under protection from the outside evil: the newest dress was to be worn only on special ocassion, shiny shoes shouldn't be worn in dusty places and the finest jewelry should be protected from the direct view of indiscret visitors.

And either saddly or happily, something of that old, annoying habit has stuck with me, inside of my insidious, quirky brain and it sometimes show up in my daily life.

This time, it happened with my newest pair of babies : the PLV Irinas.

Chance had fallen over me last summer, on a contest on Twitter, but the epicness of Romania's shipping system failure reached me soon after. Nevertheless, I insisted on getting them home, next to me, and with the help of a friend currently residing in the US, I got them home, safe and sound.

As my above mentioned quirk requires, I stored them for safe keeping and have only worn them once, on my 18th birthday and them left them alone in a drawer under my bed.

Finally, this morning I realised that they had the genes of stars, so here they are, shining away in the spotlight!

New beginnings and fresh starts

It's been exactly a month since my last post and I must say that, even though this pause hadn't been planned, it came pretty much in handy! I've realised what I want from my blog and where I want to take it. 

Besides that, it's been a heck of a holiday, with the most amazing Christmas and the most wicked New Year's Eve. I hope you all the best wishes for this new year and hope to grow along with all of you and meet as many wonderful people as I can.

I leave you with the photos I have from NYE and hope to get the ones from Christmas soon enough!

Shoes courtesy of Next UK

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!

Christmas is around the corner!

Hello, dears! My post title sounds a little bit off right now, doesn't it? But you should know that you can get some pretty amazing deals if you start from now. And what I adore most about Christmas? The fact that it's the perfect time for feeling loved. 

This year I'm a planning this big dinner with many of my friends : pork, sarmale, traditional food, red wine and so on, listening to carols and just having a great time around the tree. And since I want to feel so special, I think I need a great outfit. So, where do we start from? Well the shoes, ofcourse!

I've made a selection of shoes that I think are suitable for your Christmas parties and that work along with current trends!

Buna, dragilor! Asa-i ca titlul postarii de azi suna destul de sarit de pe fix? Dar ar trebui sa stiti ca gasiti niste reduceri incredibile daca v-apucati de-acum de cumparaturi. 

Stiti ce ador eu la Craciun? Faptul ca e momentul perfect sa ma simt iubita. 

Anul acesta planuiesc o cina mare cu multi prieteni: fripturi de porc, sarmale, mancare traditionala, vin rosu si altele, noi ascultand colinde si distrandu-ne in jurul pomului de Craciun. Si de vreme ce vreau sa ma simt atat de speciala, cred ca am nevoie de un outfit potrivit. Deci, de unde incepem? De la pantofi, normal!

Am selectat niste perechi de pantofi care, cred eu, se potrivesc petrecerilor de Craciun si care merg mana-n mana cu trendurile actuale!

White Party at the Parliament

Hello,sweeties ! I am so sorry for the long pause ,but it so happens that before leaving for the sea-side , my laptop broke so I was left with no "hands and legs" . I am happy to announce that Tomis Forum/National Selection Session of the European Youth Parliament was great, though not able to surpass Balkan's Exchange Forum from June/July. Here are the first photos , from the White Party . Everything I'm wearing is freshly bought : Shirt from New Look Shorts/Skirt from Koton Shoes from New Look Plus,enjoy my new hair color : as red as it can get <3

New Look Romania Opening

Last night I went to my first important fashion event : New Look Romania Opening ,in Afi Palace Cotroceni. I attended the VIP party and took some pretty cute photos,though not of the highest quality.
I saw some amazingly nice clothes and I got home with some pretty hefty shopping done : a pair of leopard low heels,an armor ring, 2 pairs of opaque tights (mustard and crimson) , a silk shirt aaaand,as a gift,I got a really cute golden bracelet. (see my latest shopping aquisitions in my next post).
The place was filled with celebrities, champagne and little fancy snacks .
Though the event was so glamorous and I liked it so much,I didn't really speak to anyone in the Romanian blogosphere, probably because I was so shy ,but next time I promise I'll walk up and talk to other bloggers :)

Last,but not least, I adored the show(s) . Yes , there was a fashion show, constituted of New Look's lookbook and a concert : The Moood. And I must say,those guys are really good !

EYP Concert

Every EYP session has a concert where it's best musicians reward the delegates and officials with their amazing voices and musical skills .
It's a formal occasion and we had to dress up, though ,unfortunately ,I'd forgotten to pack a special dress for the concert,so I had to improvise.

Shoes,smoothies,pie and make-up !

Yesterday was one of the best days in months ! I got together with a friend of mine and baked an apple pie (which looks rather ugly but it's amazingly tasty ) and a fruit smoothie ! Also , I got a new pair of shoes and my friend let me do a fantasy make-up on her,called Aqua Cheetah !

How do you imagine a perfect day ?

The savage blogger comes clean + Fashezine

I'll start with apologizing for being so inactive lately , but it's been hectic ! I have finished all of my finals and stuff ,leaving only a couple of pending grades to be solved,which won't be too hard. So,in the near future,my time won't be filled up with anything too demanding that will not let me do lovely posts .
And about posting, this morning I was reading the Stylish Thought and this article popped up and made some mechanisms in my brain work more than usual . Am I a savage blogger ? Am I just using this blog as a method of attracting followers ? I think not and I don't want to end up as someone (as famous as it can get) that just does it for the money. I've owned just a couple of blogs so far,each time dedicated entirely to it . I've written my true feelings in my blogs,my unstained opinions on everything . So what's happened now ? I think it's just that it feels rewarding to see that someone is interested in what you do ,the sense of approval and the surrounding with people that like you (that is why the usually follow someone).
And this ,what I like to see in myself , I have found in Ioana from Fashezine . She writes these incredibly lovely posts ,usually like stories with a moral layer. And she is incredibly fashionable too . I don't really like this word,but it's probably the best one for her.
I adore her style , it's so feminine (I don't think I've really seen her wearing trousers) and she uses this calming colors (even if it's about fuchsia and neon-yellow) . Also, look at her shoes and perfect red hair.
I wouldn't stop talking about how nice she is and how amazing she dresses.
Remember my inspiration top ? She's somewhere at the top , because ,as much as I love her style,I don't really think I am capable of wearing similar clothes with the same success .
