EN: Bought this skirt last summer (remember this post?) and I have been waiting to wear it ever since. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me and new clothes but I always have this feeling that they should be kept safe in my closet for half a year a while so I could get used to the sight of them and feel less bad when I’ll eventually ruin them (I hope it won’t be the case).
So i finally decided to pull it out of the closet and wear it without any particular reason or special occasion, you know, just for the sake of dressing up:) I think I should get more skirts of this length, they look so classy!
RO: Am cumparat fusta aceasta vara trecuta (poate va aduceti aminte de ea din postarea asta?) si de atunci am tot asteptat sa o port. Unu la mana pentru ca era mult prea cald pentru ea pe vremurile alea si doi, cred ca am ceva la cap cand vine vorba de lucruri noi. Am tendinta de a le aseza in dulap si a le lasa acolo, unde sunt “in siguranta”, pentru niste multe luni de zile pana cand ma obisnuiesc cu ele si nu mai imi pare rau ca le dezvirginez. Sau ca e foarte posibil sa ma lovesc de vreun perete proaspat vopsit, vars cafea, ma asez pe o guma, scap un pix, ma stropeste vreun destept pe strada, samd…chestii care mi se intampla mie in general cu lucrurile la care tin. Sa speram ca nu va fii cazul.
Deci m-am decis in sfarsit s-o scot la soare si am purtat-o fara niciun motiv anume sau ocazie speciala, ci doar de dragul de a ma imbraca in ceva deosebit 🙂 Cred ca ar trebui sa imi cumpar mai multe fuste de lungimea aceasta, mi se par tare elegante!
Skirt/Fusta: vintage Moschino (I love love love the print!/ Imi foarte place imprimeul!)
Shirt/Camasa: vintage
Shoes/Pantofi: Primark
Clutch, belt, earrings/Poseta, curea,cercei: vintage
Sunnies/Ochelari de soare: Meli melo
Toodles!
Fashion. Art. Flowers
EN: As you might have read in Olivia’s blog or Sandra’s and Eve’s blog, Thursday was the launch party of the Gabroveni 24 complex. Placed in a very chic location, the complex shelters three stores: a flower shop (Florăria Lipscani), a clothing and accessories boutique (Atelier A!urea) and a decorations shop (Atelierul de Creație). Very chic indeed:)
Below it’s the press handout which as you can see it’s written in romanian (please forgive me, I’m too lazy to translate it). I’ll leave you with the photos now:)
RO: Dupa cum poate ati citit pe blogul Oliviei sau pe cel al Sandrei si Evelinei, Joi a fost petrecerea de lansare a complexului Gabroveni 24. Amplasat intr-o locatie foarte chic (si decorat la fel de chic), complexul gazduieste 3 magazine: Florăria Lipscani, Atelierul A!urea (unde am salivat eu cel mai puternic la hainele si accesoriile prezentate, mai ales la cele vintage!), si Atelierul de Creație, un butic plin de obiecte decorative deosebite. Intr-adevar chic:) N-o sa bat campii inutil, sunt convinsa ca deja stiti despre ce e vorba iar daca nu, puteti citi comunicatul de presa mai jos.
„Situat in Centrul Istoric al orasului (str. Gabroveni nr 24), Conceptul Gabroveni 24 aduce impreuna, intre copertile aceleiasi carti, trei povesti frumoase, ce abia asteapta sa fie descoperite sub numele lor generice: moda, arta si flori. In fiecare dintre ele vei gasi mult suflet, pasiune si atitudine, vei gasi idei vechi de cand lumea, imbinate insa inedit in creatii futuriste de imaginative fara limite. Cartea se deschide cu spatiul de basm al Florariei Lipscani, spatiu ce a prins viata prin veselia culorilor si armonia formelor. Aici vei gasi aranjamente florale, plante decorative, accesorii originale pentru oaza ta din casa si gradina, iar in timp ce te hotarasti asupra alegerii potrivite poti savura o ceasca de ceai printre flori si vise in atmosfera noastra intima si relaxata. Povestea merge mai departe indata ce patrunzi in universul Atelierului de creatie, un univers determinat de compozitie si idei, in care vei descoperi ca limitele imaginatiei nu au fost niciodata atat de largi, pentru ca aici te vor incanta tablouri inedite pe panza, fotografii deosebite, cadouri personalizate si produse originale de papetarie. Vei putea regasi constant expozitii, proiectii video si evenimente ce aduna oameni deosebiti si povestile lor. Ultimul, dar nu cel din urma capitol al povestii noastre iti da ocazia sa atingi tinutele vintage imbinate cu accesorii contemporane, dar si piese ale designerilor romani create in exclusivitate pentru Atelierul A!UREA si fermecate parca de puterea unor bijuterii vintage atent alese. Cu ajutorul pieselor mereu noi si unicat pe care A!UREA le pune la dispozitie, iti vei putea crea in fiecare zi povesti inedite, te vei putea regasi indiferent de stare, dorinta si moment. Tot aici vei gasi intotdeauna un sfat vestimentar de nadejde, consiliere, cadouri, tinute de inchiriat. Ne place sa fotografiem tinute de street style pe strada, in butic sau la un eveniment urban.”
In case you’re wondering about my outfit, well…I went almost completely vintage. I wore vintage Louis Feraud pants, a vintage Renato Nucci shirt, vintage belt, hat and necklace, a vintage Louis Vuitton bag, Forever 21 shoes, Asos watch and my trusty vintage Pierre Cardin coat:)
Cu privire la tinuta mea, m-am invesmantat aproape complet in vintage. Am purtat pantaloni Louis Feraud vintage, o camasa vintage Renato Nucci, curea, palarie si colier vintage, geanta vintage Louis Vuitton, botine Forever 21, ceas Asos si o haina rosie Pierre Cardin care, ghiciti ce, tot vintage:)
Toodles!
Facebook has won
EN: Ever since I started this blog, one of the most common questions I get is “Do you have a Facebook account?” and my answer always was “Sorry, I don’t. But I’ll sure let you know if I ever get one!”
Anyway, the thing is I was really bored last night so I decided to give it a try and now, [drums please] I have a Facebook page! If you’d be kind enough to join me there, that’d be great 🙂 Here’s the link: facebook

RO: Inca de la infiintarea blogului, una dintre cele mai frecvente intrebari pe care le primesc este “Ai Facebook?” iar raspunsul meu era intotdeauna “ Imi pare rau, n-am. Dar sigur o sa anunt daca o sa-mi fac vreodata!”
Eh, treaba e ca mi-am facut 😀 Azi noapte tarziu, din prea multa plictiseala si lipsa de somn, m-am decis sa incerc. Va rog aplauze, sunt acum in “rand cu lumea” :> Si daca nu e prea mare deranjul iar raspunsul la intrebarea “vrei sa fii prietena mea?” este da, atunci va rog prestati si la mine un add 😀 Linkul este acesta: facebook
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Weekend placut in continuare!
Hopeful wishing
EN: At the moment, the first thing on my wishlist would be a great winter coat. I already have some pretty coats in my closet from the past few years, some vintage, some new, but, for this year, I wanna save up and buy something really special and elegant that will make me look fabulous and polished no matter what else I’m wearing. So I’m thinking faux fur. I already have my eyes set on a gorgeous Topshop coat that it’s a bit overpriced (as most of the Topshop pieces) but I think I’m gonna get my money’s worth. Hopefully I’ll buy it soon:)
Anyway, for the next couple of months, this Zara coat I’m wearing in this post will do just fine. It’s thick and colorful enough to cheer me up even on the most cold autumn days. Worn here with a River Island skirt, a vintage blouse from my granny, a vintage bag, Deichmann otk boots, Asos watch, vintage jewellery and Escada belt.
RO: La momentul de fata, cap de lista in ordinea dorintelor mele este o haina de iarna grozava. Am deja cateva piese dragutele in dulap adunate din anii trecuti, unele vintage, altele noi, insa pentru anul acesta, vreau sa strang bani si sa investesc in ceva cu adevarat special. Ceva elegant care sa arate fabulos si rafinat indiferent de ce am pe dedesubt. Ma gandesc asadar la blana (artificiala). Am gasit ceva foarte apropiat dorintelor mele la Topshop. Este putin cam prea scumpa, asa cum sunt majoritatea produselor Topshop, dar la cum arata, si din experienta mea cu marca aceasta, cred ca merita.
Sper sa o cumpar in curand:)
Oricum, pentru urmatoarele 2 luni, pana la zapada, cred ca ma voi descurca foarte bine cu haina aceasta de la Zara. E destul de grosuta cat sa nu inghet si destul de colorata cat sa ma inveseleasca si in cele mai reci zile de toamna. Purtata aici cu o fusta River Island, o bluza vintage de la bunica, o geanta vintage, cizme peste genunchi Deichmann, ceas Asos, bijuterii vintage si curea Escada.
Happy weekend everyone!
Weekend placut tuturor!
Vernal
EN: Bonjour mes cheres! How are you holding on in this weather? Here in Bucharest we are almost frozen, congelated, chilled to the marrow, you get the point. Hope you’re doing better. ..
So, considering the weather we’ve had lately, my feet haven’t seen anything else but boots and fluffy socks. Tons of fluffy socks (I think I’m starting a collection here). They are ugly and unattractive but they keep me warm and that’s enough for me at the moment.
These photos were taken a few days ago when shoes were still appropriate for the temperatures. I paired these Topshop ones with the most fabulous pair of Levi’s jeans I ever found (pink Levi’s jeans?!?! Dude…how cool is that? I couldn’t belive my eyes when I saw them) and a vintage floral printed blazer. Springlike:)
RO: Bonjour mes cheres! Cum faceti fata vremii? Nu stiu cum se ingheata in alte colturi ale tarii dar aici la Bucuresti e crima. Eu una sunt inghetata (pe bat), congelata si degerata. Sper ca voua va e mai bine…
Asa ca, luand in considerare vremea, in ultimele zile n-am iesit din cizme si din sosete groase, pufoase, tricotate sau din alea moi, de zici ca e burete materialul(nu stiu cum se numeste). Sunt urate si de “nescos” in lume dar ce conteaza este ca imi tin de cald:) Deci le port.
Pozele acestea sunt facute acum cateva zile cand temperaturile erau totusi mai suportabile si imi permiteam pantofi…I-am purtat pe astia de la Topshop cu cea mai misto pereche de Levisi care mi-a picat vreodata in maini (Levisi roz?!?! Cam cat de tare e asta? Nu mi-a venit sa cred cand i-am gasit) si un sacou vintage cu imprimeu floral. Primavaratic:)
Blazer/Sacou: vintage
Jeans: thrifted Levi’s
Sweater/Pulover: old H&M
Shoes/Pantofi: Topshop
Bag/Geanta: vintage Chanel
Jewellery/Bijuterii: H&M and no name
Watch/Ceas: Asos
Scarf/Esarfa: vintage Ninna Ricci
Stay warm!
Stati la caldura!
Color of change
EN: It’s starting to smell like autumn. There’s a chill in the air, the afternoons are warm and gilterring, the sun sets faster, the mosquitoes are gone (YES!) and the threes have a brand new wardrobe in gorgeous, mottled colors: brick red, scarlet, dark gold, warm yellows, crimson, rufous and soft orange. I’m craving cinnamon wine, pumpkin and apple pie and most of all, I’m dying to feel the smell of baked chestnuts!
Likewise, my wardrobe it’s starting to feel the change… I packed away most of my summer clothes and took all of my thicker clothes out of storage, including my beloved over the knee boots and fedora hats. I can’t wait to wear them again!
As you can see, I’m already enjoying my hats and this particular one it’s a new-comer in closet. Vintage of course, as well as most of my outfit.
I’m wearing a pair of thrifted velvet Cacharel pants, a Miss Selfridge sheer blouse, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, vintage blazer, bag and hat and H&M rings.
RO: Incepe sa miroasa zdravan a toamna. Se simte o racoare in atmosfera, dupa amiezile splendide, soarele apune mai repede, tantari ioc (DA!), copacii colorati in nuante pestrite de caramiziu, rosu aprins, stacojiu, galbenuri calde, auriu inchis, aramiu si oranjuri blande… Stiu si eu sa fac compuneri de clasa a 3a sau ce? 😀
Mi-e pofta de vin cu scortisoara si de placinta de dovleac sau de mere, si mi-e foarte pofta de mirosul castanelor coapte. Se simte o schimbare si in dulapul meu. Am impachetat hainele subtiri, de vara si am facut loc celor groase, inclusive mult iubitelor cizme peste genunchi si palarii, pe care abia astept sa le port mai des! Am inceput sa le port defapt…Cea din postarea de astazi este cumparata recent. Vintage desigur, ca majoritatea pieselor ce alcatuiesc tinuta.
Port o pereche de pantaloni din catifea Cacharel gasiti intr-un sh, o bluza usor transparenta Miss Selfridge, pantofi Jeffrey Campbell, geanta, palarie si sacou vintage si inele H&M.
Toodles!
Nice to meet you, mister
EN: As promised…ta-da! An outfit post!
RO: Dupa cum am promis…ta-da! Postare cu tinuta!
Have you ever heared about Renato Nucci? I sure didn’t. It was only when I bought this awesome skirt he made that I found out about him (thank you Google). Anyway, I’m a big fan of this kind of prints beucase they remind me a bit about Hermes and I think they look great next to another print. For this outfit I chose polka dots and finished off the look with golden accessories.
Voi ati mai auzit de Renato Nucci pana acum? Eu categoric nu. Abia cand am cumparat fusta asta facuta de el am aflat ca omul asta exista (noroc cu Goagal). Ma incanta in mod deosebit genul acesta de imprimeuri in principiu pentru ca imi aduc aminte de Hermes si mi se pare ca arata foarte bine alaturate unui alt tip de print. Pentru tinuta aceasta, am adaugat buline si am finalizat cu accesorii aurii.
Now that I look at it, I notice how loud does this outfit scream ‘me’. It sums up all I love at the moment: vintage, silk, gold, prints, over the knee boots and high waists.
Acum ca ma uit mai atent la ea, imi dau seama cat de multe elemente componente parca “imi striga numele”: vintage, matase, auriu, imprimeuri, cizme peste genunchi si talii inalte. Tot ce iubesc la momentul actual.
This is the friend I was telling you about. She already left, but hey…at least we got to see each other 🙂
Ea este prietena despre care va spuneam. A plecat deja, dar…ce pot sa spun. Bine ca macar ne-am vazut:)
Skirt/Fusta: vintage Renato Nucci
Shirt/Camasa: thrifted
Blazer/Sacou: vintage Christian Dior
Boots/Cizme: Deichmann
Watch/Ceas: Asos
Bag/Geanta: vintage Chanel
Jewellery and belt/Bijuterii si curea: vintage and no name
Toodles!
Randomness. This is not an outfit post.
EN: Yesterday the weather was cold. Cold enough so I could enjoy layering. I wore thick tights, long boots, a dress, a shirt, a men’s parka, a scarf and a belt, all together just to keep me warm. Which they did, quite successfully. Unsuccessfully though, was my attempt to take shots of my outfit into daylight since the sun sets earlier and I’m not that active in the first part of the day. I could of course, take the photos inside the house but I don’t know, I don’t like indoor photos that much. Somehow they give me the sensation of fake. And yes, I know these shots were taken inside but it was just one time and I only did it because of necessity. Hopefully it will never happen again. Anyway…I was telling you about a men’s parka. I was lucky enough to find it in the smallest size available so it’s quite fitted for a lady’s body as well. I bought it last summer from a second hand store and I was really happy to notice it’s a vintage YSL, one of my biggest fashion and vintage obsessions. I wore it with a crimson Primark dress which you can barely see, a jeans Zara shirt, a vintage belt and no name and vintage jewellery.
RO: Ieri a fost rece afara. Suficient de rece cat sa ma pot bucura de straturi. Am purtat ciorapi grosi, cizme inalte, rochie, camasa, parka barbateasca, o esarfa si o curea, toate la un loc cat sa nu-mi fie frig. Succes. Nu mi-a fost. Insa am esuat fulminant in ceea ce priveste pozele facute la lumina zilei. Cum lumina zilei se duce dracului incepand de pe la un 6, devine din ce in ce mai greu pentru mine sa-mi imortalizez tinutele. As putea sa le fac in casa desigur, insa am o oaresce repulsie vis a vis de metoda asta si nu neaparat din considerente ce tin de background sau calitate, ci din cauza senzatiei de fals. Ma rog, este o parere pur subiectiva pe care nu cred ca e cazul s-o dezvolt acum, mai ales ca pozele de fata sunt facute… in casa. Nu ma contrazic, a fost o exceptie generata de imprejurimi si sper sa nu se mai repete. Revenind de unde am plecat…Va spuneam de o parka barbateasca. Barbateasca pentru ca asa scrie pe eticheta, insa fiind cea mai mica marime, se potriveste foarte bine si pentru femei. Am luat-o vara trecuta din sh (vine ca un soc, stiu) si m-am bucurat sa vad ca este o piesa YSL, una dintre cele mai mari obsesii ale mele in materie de moda si indeosebi de vintage. Purtata cu o rochie grena Primark pe care abia o vedeti, camasa de jeans Zara, curea vintage si bijuterii no name si vintage. Mai erau si cizmele da’ e greu cu pozele, v-am spus. M-am dus asa la cursuri si la hoinarit prin oras cu treburi.
Speaking of obsessions, another one of them would have to be Thierry Mugler, the vintage Thierry Mugler. I’m extremely disappointed with the nowadays Mugler, I find it very dishonoring, an insult to the original fashion house, especially to the 90’s era which I worship. The label you’re seeing in this photo comes for a blazer I bought a few weeks ago and it’s one of the few Mugler pieces I own. Unfortunately.
O alta obsesie, poate cea mai mare la momentul de fata, tine de Thierry Mugler. Dar nu Muglerul ala din ziua de azi, pe care eu personal il consider o porcarie, o jignire, o gluma proasta,un esec si o insulta la adresa casei de moda din deceniile trecute, ci Thierry Mugler din anii 90. Ce vedeti in poza este eticheta unui sacou luat acum cateva saptamani, una dintre putinele piese Mugler pe care le detin. Din pacate.
And since winter is so close, I thought 3 pairs of sunnies were in order. Gosh, I really need to sort out a shopping list…
Ca tot vine iarna si dispare si soarele, 3 perechi de ochelari s-au dovedit a fii absolut vitale. Parca strigau dupa mine in Meli Melo “ia-ne acasa Andreea, ia-ne acasa, suntem prea misto ca sa ne lasi aici”. Puteam eu sa zic nu? Negativ.
Since I moved I have big issues with storage as I don’t own a closet (yet) and I’m forced to hang most of my blazers, dresses and shirts…on the walls. I’m getting a little claustrophobic here.
Am multe haine agatate pe pereti… Stau prost cu spatiul de depozitare momentan, pana se rezolva problema cu mobilierul, asa ca sunt nevoita sa le tin pe unde apuc. Mai exact, toti peretii si colturile sunt impanzite de sacouri, camasi si rochii. Usor claustrofobica senzatia.
Lately I’ve been drinking big mugs of hot chocolate.
In ultimul timp consum ciocolata calda ca pe apa. Dintr-o cana gigant, desigur.
Have a nice day and tommorow i’ll be back with an outfit post. It’s a promise 😀
O zi frumoasa va doresc iar maine revin cu postarea unei tinute. Pe cuvant de pionier:D
Toodles!
Stefanel
EN: So last Thursday I went to the launch of the first Stefanel concept store in Romania. It was a very classy event, with lots of people, some celebrities, good food and music, a fashion show and of course, pretty clothes and accessories. Speaking about the clothes…I liked the rich textures, the wide range of colors and the modern cuts. The shoes were quite interesting as well, and very wearable (i suppose) because of the medium height heels. In conclusion, i liked the collection, i think it’s a great choice for this season but the prices are a bit too high:)
(See the bottom of this post for the address of the store)
RO: Joia trecuta am mers la lansarea primului concept store Stefanel din Romania. A fost un eveniment foarte elegant, desfasurat intr-o locatie si mai eleganta (voi posta adresa la finalul postarii), plin de oameni, inclusiv ceva dudui care apar la televizor, mancare si muzica buna, o prezentare de moda si desigur, haine si accesorii frumoase. Cu privire la produse, din ce am vazut, mi-au atras atentia texturile bogate, paleta cromatica diversificata si taieturile moderne. Incaltamintea interesanta si ea, si banuiesc purtabila: tocuri decent de purtat toata ziua si modele actuale. In concluzie, din ce am vazut, mi s-a parut o colectie foarte ok pentru sezonul rece. Preturile in schimb, sunt destul de usturatoare. In special pentru un buget de roman:)
I wouldn’t mind owning a pair of these grey booties.
Nu m-ar deranja sa am botinele astea pe gri.
Or maybe the yellow ones?
Sau poate astea galbene?
Lots of fluffy knits
Multe tricotaje pufoase
Leopard print. Mi-aaaaaaaaaau!
Imprimeu de leopard. Mi-aaaaaaaaaaaaau!
Bags and hats
Genti si palarii
I was happy to spend the evening with Olivia, Dianna, Mihaela and I finally got to meet Denisa and Alice.
Mi-a parut bine sa petrec seara alaturi de Olivia, Dianna, Mihaela siiiiii! am reusit in sfarsit performanta de a le cunoaste pe Denisa si Alice. Aplauze va rog.
Later on, the girls from Bucharest style arrived, Raluca & Sil.
Mai tarziu au aparut si fetele de la Bucharest style, Raluca & Sil.
As for me, I wore the same outfit you saw in the last post, except for the shoes. Thank you Olivia for the photos!
Cat despre mine, am purtat (dupa cum v-am spus) aceiasi tinuta din postarea precedenta, cu exceptia pantofilor. Multumiri Oliviei pentru poze:*

EN: I have to admit I wore this outfit two days in a row, just with different shoes(you’ll see it soon in another post). I just started my second year of college so the past few days have been very hectic for me because of the moving issue. Anyway, right now everything is in its place and I’m quite happy because my childhood best friend arrived in the country. She won’t stay more than 3 days so I’m trying to spend as much time as I can with her.
Yesterday we spent most of the day together and this is what I wore: a vintage Laurel by Escada blazer (I’m obsessed with it), Topshop jeans, Steve Madden sandals, Bershka t-shirt, vintage jewellery, Asos watch and a C&A bag.

RO: Recunosc ca am purtat tinuta aceasta doua zile la rand, doar cu pantofi diferiti (o veti vedea in curand intr-o alta postare). Trec printr-o perioada destul de agitata de cand am inceput al doilea an de facultate, acum cateva zile, mai mult datorita mutatului si tot circul pe care il implica “procedeul” asta. Una peste alta, sunt destul de bucuroasa din cauza vizitei unei prietene din copilarie. Traim in tari diferite si ne vedem destul de rar, doar o data pe an iar atunci pentru cateva zile. Acum nu va sta decat 3 zile in Bucuresti si incerc sa fiu cat mai mult timp cu ea. Ziua de ieri am petrecut-o aproape in totalitate impreuna si am purtat asta: sacou vintage Laurel by Escada (ma obsedeaza), jeansi Topshop, sandale Steve Madden, tricou Bershka, bijuterii vintage, ceas Asos si geanta C&A.
Toodles!
