DARE to be Absolutely Fabulous

On my way to the Absolutely Fabulous Fashion & Vintage Fair 10th Edition, Catalin Opritescu stops me on the stairs and takes this beautiful photo he called "DARE" ... I wonder if the leopard boots were the inspiration for this title ;)

 In drum spre Targul Absolutely Fabulous Nr. 10, Catalin Opritescu m-a oprit pe scari si mi-a facut poza asta superba pe care el a denumit-o "INDRAZNESTE" .. Ma intreb daca botinele mele leopard l-au determinat sa puna titlul asta ;)

Later on, let there be chaos :) Everyone taking everyone's  picture, big group pictures, smaller group pictures, one-on-one pictures.. It took as about an hour to settle down :) You already know Raluca & Sil, Oliviana ( I forgot to tell you how much I adored your outfit, darling!), Andreea ( wanna trade my boots for you skirt for a day? yes, I know they're not your size ;)) and the colourful Laura, who I met for the first time.

 Putin mai tarziu a fost haos :) Fiecare facea poze fiecareia, poze de grupuri mari, poze de grupuri mici, poze doi cate doi.. A durat cam o ora sa ne potolim :) Deja le recunoasteti din poza pe Raluca & Sil, Oliviana ( am uitat sa-ti spun cat de mult mi-a placut tinuta ta!), Andreea ( vrei sa facem un schimb pt o zi? iti dau botinele, imi dai fusta :D da, stiu ca porti mai putin ca mine la pantofi ;)) si pe colorata Laura, pe care am intalnit-o pt prima oara.

I finally met Costin ( it was for the first time, really, we just happened to have matchy-matchy outfits :) ) and Smaranda (who took our picture). // In sfarsit i-am cunoscut si pe Costin ( pe bune ca ne-am vazut pt prima data, nu va incredeti in dungile noastre asortate:) )  si pe Smaranda (care ne-a facut poza).

Smaranda, Costin, Alice, Ana, Eve

Sandra & me, probably if she didn't wear heels in this picture, we would be the same height! Anyway, my dear, you're a great girl!! <3

Sandra, probabil daca nu purta tocuri, am fi avut aceeasi inaltime! Oricum, draga mea, esti geniala!! <3

As for the outfit photos, Andreea was kind enough (thank you again!!) to make like 20 pictures in one minute, with me spinning around and changing my position every 2 seconds. It' speed century, baby!

Pozele cu tinuta mi le-a facut Andreea (ms din nou!!), a turnat 20 de poze intr-un minut, si m-a pus sa schimb pozitia la cate 2 secunde, m-am invartit pe loc.. ce mai, secolul vitezei!

Outfit: Asos boots; H&M dress, shirt and belt; Accessorize bag; Mini Prix snood;

Sporty heels from Mini Prix

Although Harper's Bazaar said sporty heels are totally out, I say the hell with it ( it only shows very expensive stuff anyway) and I'm gonna show you how to create 3 different outfits with them. As I told you before I'm a little maniac when I find clothes I like and I end up buying the same item in 2 different colours/prints. This also happened with some sporty heels I found at Mini Prix a couple of weeks ago, so I bought them in brown and also grey.

Desi Harper's Bazaar a declarat ca pantofii sport cu toc nu mai sunt "in trend", m-am decis sa nu ma intereseze (oricum revista prezinta numai chestii ft scumpe) si am creat 3 tinute cu ei. Cum v-am spus si mai demult, nu am masura atunci cand gasesc o haina care-mi place si ajung sa o cumpar in 2 exemplare in culori/printuri diferite. Asta mi s-a intamplat si acum cateva saptamani, cand am gasit botinele astea sport, asadar le-am cumparat si pe maro, si pe gri.
 
The first outfit is an office one, in neutral colours. I started with the dress I wore here, some brown tights(100 DEN cause it's cold outside), a beige trench and a brown collar. 
Prima tinuta e una oarecum office, in culori neutre. Am inceput cu o rochie pe care am mai purtat-o aici, dresuri mate maro (100 DEN pt ca e cam frigut afara), un trench bej si un guler maro.

 

(dress-TCM, trench - Esprit, collar - Bershka)

I wore the second outfit at the Christmas party, hence the red pants. The white sweater was a gift and I never found a proper occasion to wear it because of it's fluffyness (it looks as if I have sheep fur at my neck and wrists), but on that day I couldn't find a better way to express the warmth and sheer joy of the holidays. It wasn't that cold outside, so I put my leather jacket on and added a touch of chicness (searched it in the dictionary, it's a real word :p) with an animal print beret.
A doua tinuta am purtat-o la petrecerea de Craciun, de-aia am pantaloni de culoare rosie. Puloverul alb l-am primit cadou si pana acum nu am gasit nici o ocazie potrivita sa-l port din cauza ca este ft pufos (parca am blanita de oaie la maneci si la gat), dar in acea zi mi s-a parut cea mai buna metoda sa exprim caldura si bucuria sarbatorilor. Nu a fost ft frig afara, asa ca pe deasupra mi-am luat geaca de piele si am adus o nota chic cu o bereta animal print.

 

(pants - Stradivarius; beret - bought at a random fair)

For the last one I mixed both feminine and masculine, creating a playful outfit I can wear at school. I rolled up my boyfriend jeans, so that my boots were seeable, but added a marilyn monroe tee and a fur vest.
La final, am amestecat elemente feminine cu unele masculine, pt un look jucaus, numai bun de mers la facultate. Am suflecat perechea mea preferata de boyfriend jeans, pt ca botinele sa se poata vedea, dar i-am purtat cu un tricou cu marilyn monroe si o vestuta de blana.

 

(jeans - Miss Sixty; tee - Bershka; fur vest - Promod; cardigan - Reserved)

As you can see, it's pretty easy to mix and match these boots, especially because they have different shades of brown and you can add simpler pieces. I personally prefer to wear brown with either red and off-white/beige, or with dark blue/purple/kaki.

Stay tuned 'cause in my next post I will show you another 3 ways to wear sporty heels, this time the grey ones. 
Dupa cum vedeti, e destul de usor sa compui o tinuta cu aceste botine sport, mai ales pt ca au nuante diferite de maro si poti adauga piese simple. Personal prefer sa combin culoarea maro cu rosu si bej/alb neimaculat :) sau cu albastru/mov/kaki inchis.
Reveniti si maine pe blog, o sa va arat alte 3 combinatii, insa cu botinele gri.

A night at the museum

Every once in a while our city organizes a Museum Night, when you can visit certain museums without paying entrance fees until 3 or 4 in the morning. It's not like you can't visit them anytime, but I especially like the city in these nights because it seems happy, joyfull and most of all you can feel a little safe while walking darker streets. I also indulge myself with some freshly-baked kurtos kalacs, as you can see in my bag. These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago. Now that I started school and I have to wake up at 6:30 AM I can't even conceive leaving my warm home in the morning with just a blouse, thights & shorts. It's amazingly cold outside for this time of year. Brrr!

Work outfit

My only wish for summer is to be allowed to wear shorts at work, so I wouldn't melt down on my way there. But hey, there are advantages and disadvantages of workin' in a bank, like everywhere else.

Singura mea dorinta pt vara e sa pot purta pantaloni/fuste/rochii scurte la serviciu, ca sa nu ma mai topesc pe drum. Dar na, exista si avantaje si dezavantaje cand lucrezi in banca, la fel ca in oricare alta parte.

Stupid hot weather

Whoa, summer came too fast, it's only the middle of June and I'm already melting. It's flats and airy dresses from now on, and hopefully I will find a big big hat to cover up my face, it tends to turn really really red when taking contact with the sun and I don't even want to mention my freckles ... it has been said it's my charm :-p

Uau, vara a venit prea repede, e abia mijlocul lui iunie si deja ma topesc. De acum incolo o sa port numai rochii vaporoase si sandale joase, sper sa gasesc si o palarie ft mare cu care sa-mi pot acoperi fata, intrucat ma inrosesc ft repede de la soare... asta ca sa nu mai vorbim de pistrui... ma rog, cica asta ar fi " farmecul" meu :-p

Feeding the cat

Went to feed my cousin’s cat today because she’s out of town ( she called it KITTYSITTING); to my surprise I discovered the cat is actually more of a tiger ( bad bad kitty :( ) she just wouldn’t let me pet her, probably my shoes were too intimidating :))
