Took these photos a few days ago when the weather was so much colder, as if we were in October not April! I guess that was the last day I wore boots for this season. So bye bye my beloved over the knee boots, see you next autumn!
Worn with this vintage dress which I totally fell in love with the minute I saw it. I got it for a dolar or so but I had to alter it cause it was waaaaaaaaay too big for me. This is one of the best things about vintage;no matter how big something is, you can always get it altered and make it work for you. And you don’t have to break the bank to do that…

Am facut pozele astea acum cateva zile cand vremea era mult mai rece, de parca am fi in Octombrie, nu in Aprilie! Cred ca asta a fost ultima zi in care am purtat cizme pe sezonul asta. Asadar pupici iubitele mele cizme peste genunchi, ne vedem la toamna!
Purtate cu aceasta rochie vintage de care m-am indragostit din prima clipa in care am vazut-o. Am luat-o pentru vreo 3 lei sau ceva asa dar a trebuit evident s-o duc la modificat pentru ca era o marime hipopotamica. Asta imi place mie mult la lucrurile vintage si anume ca pot fii modificate cu usurinta, oricat de mari ar fi astfel incat sa se potriveasca corpului fiecaruia. Si nici nu implica niste sume mari…

Coming from a family of food lovers where every meal must end with a dessert definitely leaves marks on you. No, I’m not talking about weight or body issues(I hate the obsession created around that crap!) but, what I’m trying to point out is the connections we establish between food and our memories.(at least from my point of view). Speaking of desserts…I don’t know about you but I for one, have strong feelings for my granny’s sweets. And everytime she pampers me with cakes(everytime meaning all the time) I tend to connect the flavour with a certain memory from the past. Gimme cake with strawberry filling and I’ll think about my birthday, gimme mint ice cream and I’ll remember how I spoiled my aunt’s red dress, gimme homemade chocolate and I’ll soon be feeling like all of my face is covered with it, just as I did when I was a kid.

There was also a cake…one of my favourites…called “black and white”. A delicious dessert with fluffy dough and many creamy layers of chocolate and cream. It tasted it divine but what I liked most about it was the aesthetic appeal. Literally, it was a black and white…cake. On the other hand… Being away from home most of the time with no one to cook for me, I don’t eat it that much today but everytime I wear this dress I start thinking about my granny’s black and white cake. Just like the cake, it’s one of my favourites and it makes me feel happy : )

Mai era o prajitura…una din preferatele mele…numita “prajitura alb si negru”. Delicioasa, facuta din aluat pufos si multe multe straturi cremoase de ciocolata, frisca si inca ceva ce habar n-am cum se numeste. Avea un gust senzational dar ce imi placea mie cel mai mult era aspectul. O prajitura pur si simplu…alba si neagra:D Pe de alta parte… Fiind departe de casa in cea mai mare parte a timpului fara cineva care sa ma hraneasca(traiesc pe baza de sandwichuri, habar n-am sa fac niciun ou prajit), nu o mai mananc atat de des dar de fiecare data cand port rochia asta ma gandesc la prajitura alb si negru a bunica mii. La fel ca prajitura, rochia e una din preferatele mele si ma face sa ma simt fericita : )

Hello hello! I’ll be off shopping for vintage goodies in a few seconds but I had to post these pictures first:D Sooooo: Because of the low temperatures we have here in (Siberia) Romania, I’ve become very black and white lately and without noticing, I woke up being into nudes, whites and dark hues. And this is odd considering my love for flashy colors and crazy combinations.

So, a few days ago, I said to myself “today I’ll wear color” and I put these items together. I think blues and greens make an awesome combo but if you add some purple too…ah, perfection! I’m deeply in love with these colors together <3

Acum cateva zile insa, mi-am spus “astazi voi purta ceva colorat” si am pus laolalta hainele astea. Dupa parerea mea, nuantele de albastru si cele de verde formeaza o combinatie grozava dar daca mai adaugam si ceva mov…deja o dam in perfectiune:D Sunt indragostita pana peste cap de culorile acestea puse impreuna! 

Also, meet my new vintage blouse:D Spotted a few weeks ago in one of my favourite vintage shops and felt in love with the color(I think I have a fetish for that shade of green) and the pussy bow so I bought it right away. I didn’t like the sleeves too much, they were plain and simple so I made them puffy with a simple wire and here it is, the green puffy sleeved pussy bow shirt:D

Last year I remember I was crazy about the Miu miu SS collection, especially the shoes(shocking, right?) but of course I couldn’t get my hands on any of the pieces because of those mean mean prices. So sad. No kitty, birdie or flowery print for me or my feet. Anyway, If you remember(see this post here) I got these knock offs last winter from Forever21. They may not be Miuccia’s babies but…Miu miu look alikes for 30 bucks? Yes please.

Yep, I’m wearing harem pants. I know you hate them, who doesn’t? :)) A few years ago I used to hate them too, mainly because I was only living in dresses and skirts but now I think about them as a great piece to have and wear in this huge sea of skinnies. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with skinnies, I’m just sick of people who wear this type of cut only. The crotch and waist is very low so it usually sits on my hips but, as I already told you, I’m a big fan of high waists so I used a belt to lift the waist up. Looks a bit weird but I don’t care, I feel really good in these pants!

I spent this last weekend in my hometown doing nothing productive-eating lots and lots of junk(blame the granny), sleeping too much, digging through piles of stuff I don’t wear anymore and should throw away, shopping with my mother for vintage pieces(I got some goodies you’ll soon see), drinking iced tea, realizing my cat gets fatter and fatter everytime I come home, watching Psycho(again, for like the zillion time) and getting measured by the lady who alters my clothes.

Anyway, this is what I wore while going shopping. The weather was fine so I didn’t need any covering but the shoes killed me. Seems weird considering the low heel but trust me, they are little murderers. Besides that, the only uncomfortable things were the stares(had to take this shots before leaving the house, I had a feeling I won’t be able to do them while being in the city). But that’s fine, even my mom said those leggings are crazy:))

Iar asta am purtat cand am mers la cumparturi. Vremea a fost placuta si n-am mai avut nevoie de nimic pe deasupra dar pantofii m-au terminat. Pare ciudat avand in vedere ce micut e tocul dar credeti-ma, aveti in fata o pereche asasina. Pe langa asta, singurul lucru incomod a fost holbatul(aveam un sentiment inca de cand m-am imbracat ca n-o sa pot face pozele in oras tocmai din cauza asta, asa incat le-am facut pe picior de plecare, inainte de a ne urca in masina). Dar e ok, daca pana si mama a zis ca leggingsi astia sunt bolnavi:))

Ok, so I’ll start this post by complaining. Please bear with me, it’s a shoe situation. I’m going mad here a bit worried since my ASOS order still hasn’t arrived and it should’ve been here since Thursday! I’ve already been two times to the post but all I got were raised eyebrows and stupid answers. Of course they know nothing, I often wonder how they remember to breathe. Lousy people.

On a more happier note, I finally got a Moschino belt! I’ve been dreaming of one for ages and thanks to etsy, now I have it:D Of course the belt was a bit raged and H-U-G-E so I had to change it but at least I got the letters. Viva Etsy!

Ca sa va spun si ceva pozitiv, am reusit in sfarsit sa am o curea Moschino! Tanjeam dupa una de mult timp si gratie Etsy…acum am:D Cureaua era relativ rupta pe alocuri si cam M-A-R-E, astfel incat a trebuit sa o inlocuiesc dar macar m-am facut cu literele:D Viva Etsy!

Worn here with a lace dress, a random brand blazer, Jeffrey Campbell shoes and a big bag to fit all my junk.

Purtata aici cu o rochie de dantela, un sacou oarecare, botine Jeffrey Campbell si o geanta mare sa-mi incapa toate porcarille inauntru.

Oh, and I totally forgot to tell you guys about this feature I got in Forever21’s blog, The skinny. Check it out here 😀 Plus the interview the lovely Julie from Julie’s Wonderland did with me. Check it out here.

Ah, si am uitat sa va spun despre acest feature in care apar, pe blogul Forever21, The skinny. Arunca-ti o privire aici 😀 Plus interviul pe care draguta de Julie de la Julie’s Wonderland l-a facut cu mine. Il gasiti aici.
