Jewelry Diary - colorful

I just wanted to show you my latest acquisitions when it comes to jewelry. The obsession lives on and has spread to cover not only rings but pretty much everything else.

I have quite a collection but I can't ever say no to a beautiful new piece (or ten). I also got a colorful makeup palette and an awesome set of pink brushes! 

Everything is from Romwe, I will try and give the individual links for the products that are still available on the site. They have lost of amazing stuff lately especially when it comes to bling!



I don't really know how to use all of these brushes but they look so pretty I had to had them!

 This necklaces are sold out, but they have lots of other wonderful pieces!

Cateva  citioare m-au rugat sa scriu despre colectia mea de bijuterii. E bine, incepem cu o trecere in revista a ultimelor achizitii in acest departament. Cred ca stiti ca bijuteriile si accesoriile in general sunt marea mea slabiciune. 

La inceput am avut perioade in care eram obsedata de inele, apoi de cercei si coliere pentru ca acum "problema" sa se extinda asupra tuturor categoriilor. Am deja o colectie serioasa, dar tot nu ma dau inapoi cand imi place ceva in mod special. 

Tot ce vedeti on poze este de la Romwe - au o selectie foarte reusita in ultimul timp, multe dintre piese concureaza cu cele de la Asos sau Zara, dar sunt mai ieftine.



Habar nu am cum sa folosesc o parte din pensule (sau pt ce sunt exact), dar sunt atat de dragute incat merg si pt decor!

 rhinestone necklaces and bracelets

Romwe recently started carrying makeup and beauty supplies as well. 
They are having a sale right now!


You might have noticed gold and rhinestones are something I'm into lately!

Suits – Season 3 premiere

As much as I despise the summer heath, I have to confess that I love summer TV shows. It also seems to me that all of the great shows that I used to watch are ending, have already ended or are getting really bad (yes, Dexter, I’m talking about you!!!). 

And the worst part is that great shows are so rare these days and almost none of the new ones can rise to the occasion and substitute the ones that ended/will end.

So needless to say - I’m really excited for the Season 3 premiere of Suits tomorrow on July 16.

 
Oh, Harvey, you can’t even imagine how I missed you, your beautiful suits and your wicked ways! Also just so that you know, it’s not cool to leave a girl hanging for so many months! That’s why I think this show has to start rolling all year long!

I can’t wait to see more of Conleth Hill, even though I did not recognize him at first. It may have something to do with the fact that I’m used to see him asLord Varys in "Game of Thrones". I really missed  Donna Paulsen and Louis Litt as well!


I will make time today to go buy some popcorn and get ready for tomorrow’s big day because as busy as I am lately I will let nothing stand between me and Harvey Specter!


 Anybody else excited around here?



Ombre jeans and fun hairpieces

I have so many things to tell you and so little time! I’ve been working like crazy lately and I doubt I’ll have time to attend any events in the near future, but here’s the last one I went to – back when I was a normal person – a little preview of Fandacsia’s new line of hats organized by this cool online store called Band of Creators

Since I love myself some hair candy I proceeded to take lots of embarrassing photos wearing all the hats I could get my hands on. Don’t worry, I keep most of them for myself, but you get the idea!

When it comes to shocking news here’s one – I started wearing pants! This pair of jeans is the most beautiful I own: wonderful ombre effect that’s not really clear in the pictures – they are actually a purple burgundy and fade to black in the upper part. Really cool, if I can say so myself!  


Voi fi extrem de ocupata zilele acestea, dar va las cu niste poze facute la  showroomul magazinului online Band of Creatorscare a inaugurat seria de evenimente dedicate designerilor romani din portofoliu cu o prezentare a celor mai noi modele Fandacsia realizate de Cosmina Nicolescu. 

Evident ca am profitat de ocazie ca sa probez tot ce mi-a picat in mana, dar nu va supun la supliciul de a le posta pe toate desi aratam destul de amuzant cu unele dintre ele. Acesoriile de par in general sunt o slabiciune de-a mea deci am circumstante atenuante!

Stiu ca este putin neobisnuit pentru mine sa port pantaloni, dar, va avertizez, am inceput sa le inteleg farmecul. Cred ca pereachea de jeans ombre pe care o port aici este de vina – sunt de departe preferatii mei. Nu prea se vede in imagini dar visiniul cu tenta de mov de jos se transforma treptat in negru in partea de sus. 

  I’m wearing:
  bag, pumps / geanta, pantofi – random brand
ombre jeans / blugi ombre – Blank Denim
  tiger earrings /cercei – Romwe (here)

One lesson I learned this weekend is that I should never leave the house without covering myself head to toe in sunscreen. My skin is not meant for natural tanning or any kind of direct contact with the elements. There’s nothing like a serious sunburn to get some common sense into me. Again!!!

Another thing is I really dislike people that say no to things and experiences without giving them a chance. I love tattoos and body jewelry even though I don’t have any – it’s one of the Fresh Trends I have always been into and this predilection of mine has only grown in intensity with time.

Anybody who said they hate this and that has obviously never seen tattoos, red hair or piercings on the right person! Looking a bit different, taking decision that not everybody will is a good thing, you don’t have to do what everybody else does, wears and thinks only to feel normal. You see, I’m not unreasonable and here are my arguments (because no one in his right mind would ever say no to these):

Yes, I will go out with you, don't frown that pretty face of yours!:)))

 This comes directly from Sherlock Holmes, so you better listen!

Wearing my crown

Working like a slave doesn’t mean you can’t look like a princess while doing it. I recently started working a part time job on top of my full time job so I need to remind myself of my imaginary aristocratic roots every time I can. 

I basically have no life at this point but what I do have it's lots of tiaras and head crowns to wear and make everything better.

As you can see my hair was having a moment that day so the beaded crown I made myself was a good topping for my leonine locks. I didn't add the crown into my Etsy shop yet but I could do it if you are interested in one for yourselves.

 
De cateva saptamani am inceput un job part time pe langa slujba mea normala asa ca nu mai am deloc timp liber sau viata personala. Am insa o multime de accesorii de par pe care le port ca sa imi reamintesc mie si tuturor celor din jurul meu ca-s o regina! Personal mi se pare ca se vede cu ochiul liber, dar nu toata lumea este de acord asa ca ma simt datoare sa-i ajut! :))))

Ingropata in hartogarie si cu ochii in calculator 12 ore pe zi, dar tot printesa. Nici nu va inchipuiti ce poate face o tiara cu perle pentru randamentul la birou! In ziua cand am purtat-o parul meu chiar s-a comportat regal – cu volum si tot restul!

sandals, lace top / sandale, bluza dantela – random brand
  skirt, belt/ fusta, curea – vintage
  polkadots bag / geanta buline – Debenhams
  pearls tiara / tiara perle – Alice&Sara (handmade by me)

Underwear campaigns that make us droll

$

Based on the brand’s track record, we can safely say Armani has a soft spot for celebrity endorsers and in that niche sport personalities get the big slice of the cake. For the last few seasons we had the chance to see David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Nadal with only their Armani briefs on!

Don’t think we are not grateful for that! Armani has a proclivity towards elite athletes when it comes to its underwear line and I can see why, it works for everybody: men are happy, women are even happier. 


David Beckham is obviously my favorite – his willingness to strip down and show us his extraordinary physique is a thing of beauty. He’s really a visionary, the poster child (pun intended) for reaching outside your field of expertise. At this point Becks is basically a part time underwear model. And you know what, guys? He does a great job with this as well!

Back in 2008 Selfridges reported a 150% rise in sales for men's briefs after hundreds of fans invaded the store to droll over larger than life photos of Beckham showing his drawers. No wonder Victoria nicknamed him "Golden Balls" – the guy is worth his weight in gold!

I don’t expect everybody to agree with me so you can cast your vote in the comment section after carefully analyzing the pictures I’m going to provide for you!

So who looks hotter in their Armanis: Beckham, Ronaldo or Nadal?

Wonder Woman Outfit

These last few weeks I tried doing it all – working two jobs, getting out a bit, exercising, blogging but it’s been pretty hard. I mean it can be done if you can by sleeping less than 5 hours a night but it’s not something you can’t do long therm. So I decided to give myself a break, enjoy a Sunday in the sun with my friend Laura before her moving to Berlin for a while and just take it easy for a few hours.

This outfit was created around the wonderful Wonder Woman clutch signed by La Muse Chic. Saying I love it would be an understatement since it’s one of those pieces that’s not only beautiful and functional but actually says something about me. 

It speaks about how I don’t take this fashion business too seriously, how clothes are meant to make you feel good about yourself, about my obsession for comic books and superheroes, how I would rather watch TV shows and eat ice cream than go shopping, about how I have this Pinterest Board dedicated to the superheroes ways that I update all the time cause that’s how cheesy I am. 

When it comes to sunglasses the pair I have on is the perfect shape for my face and I just love the gold metallic details that class things up – you can find it here!

You might also ask yourself where can one find a crazy “look at my b***s" bustier like mine – well, I added the big blue sequins myself back when I had free time. I miss my DIY projects a lot! Good times!
 Linda Carter as Wonder Woman - the ultimate superheroine crush!


In ultimele saptamani am incercat sa le fac pe toate: slujba full time si cea part time, articole pe blog, intalniri cu prietenii, chiar si putina miscare, dar a fost epuizant. Este realizabil in conditiile in care renunti la a dormi mai mult de 5 ore pe noapte in timpul saptamanii, dar cu siguranta nu este o solutie pe termen lung.

Duminica am decis sa imi acord o pauza si sa petrec cateva ore cu prietena mea Laura inainte sa se multe la Berlin pentru o vreme. Partea prosta este ca o sa-mi lipseasca, dar prefer sa ma gandesc la partea buna – o sa merg sa o vizitez cat de curand.

Ceea ce port a fost inspirat de plicul Wonder Woman de la La Muse Chic. Sa zic ca-mi place nu ar fi suficient – este una dintre acele piese care nu sunt doar frumoase si functionale, dar care spun si ceva despre cum esti tu. 

Despre mine zice ca-mi plac mult  benzile desenate, ca nu iau moda prea in serios, ca ma imbrac numai cu haine care ma inveselesc, ca am un panou dedicatsupereroilor pe Pinterest pe care il actualizez mult prea des, ca ideea mea de distractie este un maraton de seriale TV cu o galeata de inghetata in brate. 

Mi-a fost destul de greu sa aleg ceva, intre magazinul online La Muse Chic si pagina de Facebook o sa vedeti atat de multe genti si accesorii frumoase  incat decizia de a te opri la cateva favorite devine imposibila. Punctul forte sta in imprimeurile fantastice pe bumbac pe care Madalina le foloseste pentru creatiile ei – majoritatea de inspiratie retro si extrem de colorate.

Ochelarii sunt de la Romwe si sunt preferatii meu pentru ca au forma perfecta si rame cu detalii metalice! Bustiera era simpla, dar i-am adaugat eu paiete albastre in zona bustului in vremurile in care aveam timp pentru astfel de proiecte. Good times!!!

10 reasons to watch Teen Wolf

$
0
0

I’m convinced you were waiting for this article to feel complete and so I wrote it! You can now watch Teen Wolf in peace and with my blessing, no need to feel ashamed about it! 

If you had doubts about Teen Wolf and asked yourself if it’s wise to start watching yet another TV series the answer is Yes, go ahead, extreme teen angst has never looked better! Season 3 aired a few weeks ago and the internet is buzzing with excitement.  

I have to confess I was initially a little skeptical myself. After-all Teen Wolf is made byMTV based on a 80s teen comedy so you might think they are only doing it to cash in on the whole vampires/werewolves/monsters/supernatural craze that was and is still going on. And you’d be right but there's more to it!

I mean, I’m sure that if I was still in high school I would have been all over it but right now I had to ask myself if I’m still that superficial. And guess what? I am and big time at that! Underneath all this maturity you can still find a teenager that enjoys shows for the eye candy.   
Don’t get me wrong - the show it’s not bad, not at all - it’s actually quite entertaining, extremely funny and it even has a darker, more profound edge to it.
 

Images and gifs speak louder than words so here are 10 more reasons Teen Wolf should be on your top guilty pleasures list:

1. The cast (Tyler Hoechlin :))))
They are a really good looking bunch. Nobody in Beacon Hills is ugly, no one, I’m telling you! They are not even average looking! Even the parents are attractive and the uncool kids at school look like they just got off the catwalk.
Most of the actors look like teenagers and not like creepy 35 years old playing teenagers although they are at least 22 years old in real life! Tyler Hoechlin is possibly the hottest werewolf in the history of mankind! 
 

2. Stiles Stilinski
Wonderfully played by Dylan O’Brien, Stiles it’s so great he should get his own spin off! Stilinski is definitely one of the funniest characters in television right now. You can always count on him to deliver that comic relief in an adorable way. He’s witty, sarcastic, nerdy and oh, so cute! 


3. The bromance
I’m obviously talking Sterek here (the Stiles - Derek Hale interaction has stirred a lot of passions out there, some of a sultry nature if you know what I mean!!!).
In all honesty Tyler Hoechlin is excruciatingly hot so I see the appeal he has for all genders. In fact the chemistry of the cast is great as a whole but you will love this show even more if you are a sucker for a good bromance like me. 


4. Issac Lahey 
I love this character and I’m very glad they decided to give him a bit more screen time. The vulnerability, loyalty and staggering good looks always do it for me. Isaac is played by Daniel Sharman who’s British by the way (he really didn’t need that edge already having that bone structure:))))) and Crystal Reed’s boyfriend in real life. 


5. The female characters
The thing I love about them is they are no damsel in distress. You have to appreciate a show where the lead female characters are kicking the ass of everyone that crosses their path. No gender discrimination in Teen Wolf - they introduced a few female alphas as well.


 6.  Coach Bobby Finstock
The only character that can sometimes compete with Stiles when it comes to delivering the most hilarious lines! He is mean but funny mean and I love it - this show is secretly all about him! 

 
7. Shit happens  
I just hate when a show drags a story for so long that when they eventually wrap everything up you are so sick of waiting that you just don’t care anymore.
Well Teen Wolf is different, things happen and they happen fast – the TV show has a great rhythm.


8. Exploring the darkness
I love the fact Teen Wolf it`s a lot darker than your usual teenage dramas, some scenes are really freaky but that balance between scary and not too serious it’s generally well kept. I actually like it when the show is tilting towards the creepy and unexpected which thankfully it’s quite often.


9. Dream abs
The number of shirtless scenes in this show is insane, it’s like the guys have a dangerous allergy to shirts, not that I’m complaining! You’ll have the chance to feast your eyes with some of the best abs in the industry!   

Season 3 got a reinforcement in this department -  the Alpha Twins. Aiden and Ethan are played by identical twin brothers Charlie and Max Carver. Yes, the Desperate Housewives alums have transformed into badass alphas!  


10. Colton Haynes!
Because he’s everyone’s type! :))) Unfortunately Jackson is out in season 3 due to Colton’s absurd decision of permanently joining “Arrow” instead of Teen Wolf. While Arrow is an ok TV show, it can’t live up to the hype and popularity of Teen Wolf and so far Colton’s character in it is not even as important/cool as Jackson. And while I don’t get his decision, I love Colton and his world famous cheekbones.

That smile! He should consider using it to stop wars!

Leather pants and white dress

I’ve been trying to post this outfit for weeks now but something always got in the way until today.

Firstly, I’m very proud for being able to fit in this pair of leather pants again and quite effortlessly if I might say so myself. Just know this is a first! :))) Secondly, I’m obsessed with this pair of neon pumps and also the sunglasses so you’ll probably see them in one too many outfits in the future. 

I have a rhinestones necklace on – they are a constant in my jewelry lately as well. This one is colorful and works with everything.  

I wore this get up for a meeting with a few blogger friends, we went to a nice garden called Serendipity and just talked for a few hours! The photos were taken by Stella and Raluca! I know Stella was wondering if I didn’t like the photos she took – I love them, it’s just I’m always struggling to post my outfits in a timely manner, there are so many TV shows to write about!:)))))

Modern pin up – Hello, Sailor!

$

I had to show you these photos because they are the perfect example of a modern take on classic pin up art done right! The photoshoot is called “Hello, Sailor!” for obvious reasons and showcases the Widfox 2013 summer collection.

Designer and photographer Kimberly Gordon clearly had in mind the iconic image of the 50s pin up girl when she created these wonderful images: “I’ve always been a big fan of pin-up art, it’s so extremely American and the history behind the pin-up girl is so interesting. I grew up collecting cheesecake books, I starred as Sandy in the school production of Grease, I listened to Elvis constantly and memorized every oldie I could get my hands on.”

The model they used is probably the best part: Valerie Van Der Graaf looks like an extremely attractive mix of the ultimate pin-up girl and a teasing Lolita with a bubbly personality that shows through in the photos. I’m also really digging the styling; it’s so sexy with a hint of daunting naivete that screams - “she’s not innocent”! All the accessories are wonderful, but then again, I have never seen any garters, suspenders, stockings, over the knee socks or exotic flower garlands I didn't like!
 

I hope you will enjoy these as much as I did! What do you think?

I can’t believe summer is almost over, but I really hope we’re going to have a very long and warm fall because I’m not ready for cold yet. Make that I’m never ready for cold!

In the meantime I’m still enjoying dresses and all things summery (ice cream, sunglasses, watermelon). Nothing more to say except I love the spiked animal print flats I have on and the layered dusty pink necklace I’m wearing with this outfit.

It's the first time I'm wearing them this summer and they deserve so much more love from me! I feel like I should slap myself or something!:))))

Baroque print dress

Lately my weekends are usually reserved to catching up on sleep and solving all the little things I don’t get to finish during the week. This Saturday was different though because I went to a cool event called Summer’s End Expo&Sale to support my friend Costin who was one of the organizers. 

The event was hosted in this semi-abandoned mansion (Casa Carol 53) and I loved it because I felt it brought something different - an artistic feel and a casualness that’s missing from similar affairs. I’m very proud of Costin for pulling it off and I’m already excited to attend the next one!

Since it was the last day of summer I went all out with this colorful dress with a fabulous baroque print. I wasn’t sold on it (not big on shiny fabrics) until I pressed it and put it on – after that it was love at first wear as I thought it looked fantastic and it had a lot of movement to it. 

The jewelry is Romwe as well, they have fantastic bling – I loved the gold bracelet with neon cross stones so much I ordered two of them; the colorful statement earrings were also a must.

The strappy blue sandals and matching bag you might remember from here as I tend to wear them together.
   

These beautiful prints and sketches are Costin's handy work!

Charlie Hunnam cast as Christian Grey

$
0

At this point I’m convinced Hollywood and possibly the entire world is conspiring so that I go and watch Fifty Shades of Grey once it’s made into a movie. And you know what? I’m going to go because they did the only thing that would ever convince me to do so – they just cast Charlie Hunnam  as Christian Grey.

This will probably be one of the first movies I will see without reading the books first. Guys, I tried, I really did, but E. L James doesn’t do it for me (pun intended), she makes Stephenie Meyer and Twilight seem like the best read of all time. 

Charlie Hunnam will play opposite Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele. Since I only read 40 pages of the first book I’m not going to comment on how good or bad Dakota is for this role. I know very few things about her,she’s Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith’s daughter and I’ve seen a few episodes of the comedy “Ben&Kate” she's starring in and that’s pretty much it. Seems like a good fit but I would have loved Alexis Bladel for this!

 
Apparently there’s a lot of controversy and hype around the decision and some people are complaining about Charlie Hunnam playing Christian Grey and I’m like: “Say what? Charlie is the only reason I would ever watch that shit! Like literally the only reason!"

So what I say is - get over it! He’s the hottest thing ever and a great actor, he’s too good for Christian Grey and Fifty Shades of Grey if you ask me. I hope this role is not going to ruin his career but rather bring him more fame/name recognition so that he can go further after this.


Girls of all ages will finally get the chance to watch some good television as I expect everybody will do their research and see him in Sons of Anarchy. SOA is an amazing TV show, surprisingly under the radar.

They’re ruining Charlie’s street cred as the badass to end all badasses: Jackson 'Jax' Teller with this but hopefully ratings for Sons of Anarchy will raise and the show will get more attention as a result.

 
I’ve been loving Charlie Hunnam long time as my faithful readers may know. I loved him even before Sons of Anarchy.

I remember first seeing him in Queer as Folk as Nathan Maloney in the late 90s – he was really very young then. I also remember him in the hilarious Undeclared as the hot British exchange student.

Recently Charlie Hunnam stared in Guillermo del Toro’s $100 million-grossing sci-fi Pacific Rim alongside Idris Elba.


As I mentioned before Charlie Hunnam starred in cult TV show Queer as Folk which ran for only ten episodes starting in April of 1999 and generated a less acclaimed but longer running American version. 

The British drama was an unapologetically honest depiction of modern gay life unlike any other before. Charlie Hunnam played 15-year-old Nathan (he was 18 back then) who begins the series as an innocent, wide-eyed newcomer to all things sexual until he meets much older and experimented Stuart Jones. 

Sounds familiar?Charlie kind of already embodied Anastasia Steele so it’s only natural he gets to play Christian Grey as well!!! Things have finally come full circle! So stop bitching about it and be grateful Charlie Hunnam knows his way around a sex scene. Between Queer as Folk and Sons of Anarchy, Charlie has been training hard for this!:)))))))))))))


A few more things you should know about love of my life Charlie Hunnam:
  •  he’s 33 years old and 6' 1" (1.85 m)
  •  he might look like your quintessential American boy but he’s British (originally from Newcastle, England) and faking the American accent in Sons of Anarchy
  •   he’s good friends with many of his Sons of Anarchy co-stars - Theo Rossi, Tommy Flanagan, Mark Boone Junior
  •  he has three brothers
  •   he auditioned for Dawson's Creek where he meetKatharine Towne that he married after three weeks (they were married for three years between 1999-2002)
  •  he's a screenwriter as well and pretty good at that since he already sold one script - Vlad - to Plan B and Summit Entertainment
  •  he was discovered in a shoe shop by a production manager
  •  loves to hit the gym (like this would ever surprise somebody with that body)
  •  his current girlfriend is jewelry designer Morgana McNelis who he's been dating for six years. 
  •  they recently left Los Angeles and now lives on a farm in the California countryside
  •  he said he hasn’t eaten pork in 25 years.
  •  he stared in an ad campaign for Emporio Armani in 2005
  •  Charlie likes folk, blues and bluegrass and he is a huge hip-hop fan (The RZA from Wu-Tang Clan is his favorite artist alongside Van Morrison and Tom Waits)

Fall fashion mood

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year – it somehow feels like the perfect time to start over, be better and do better in the midst of a bitter sweet nostalgia for summer and all the adventures you had or at least wished you had. 

Fall is the moment to start getting things done and look good doing it. I know most people get a bit depressed this time of the year but I always experienced quite the contrary.

  
This particular season I’m seeing myself in a colorful mix of ladies country clothing and feminine bohemian pieces with cool western touches. I’m thinking denim with leather, tartan and fur and lots of colorful accessories. I want to resemble a chic gipsy if there's even such a thing!


I don’t know how you feel about this particular subject but I love to look a bit odd in the big city – like I don’t quite blend in and don't belong here, like I actually live on a horse farm and could spend my afternoons in a golden field of wheat or picking perfect apples from my own orchard.This fantasy that clothes are a big part of is more for my own sake than anybody else’s, but I guess it's going to be entertaining for everybody!

Maxi skirts with huge belts and over the knee boots, hats and colorful scarves, knitwear and layers of jewelry to top it off - these are the elements I'm looking forward to. I’m actually pretty excited about my fashion mood board for this fall!

How do you see yourself dressed this fall? Do you have a staple look in mind?

The good thing about having a blog is that you get to share and write about all the things you love whenever you want and feel like doing so. And since two of my favorite things in this world are beautiful dresses and unique jewelry this article was a long time coming. I always thought dreaming doesn’t require any budget so we should always dream big. 

That’s why I made a top ten high end vintage dressed and diamond jewelry matches that I know will make you swoon.I think these are really timeless items, things that would stay with you forever and never really get out of style:botha 50s dress and a pair of diamond drop earrings are  so stunningly classy and glamorous and come not just as functional pieces but represent a whole aesthetic and life style. Not being a real life princess should never stop you to dress like one, it's all about the way you see yourself and want others to do as well!

The dresses in the photos are part of my dream collection and I keep adding them to a folder I have on my computer (also a Pinterest board that is getting out of control) - I love to search for them and  every time I find one I wouldn't mind owning I just save it for my fantasy closet.

All the fabulous jewelry pieces I used in the collages are signed Anjolee– they have all kind of wonderful diamond and gemstone pieces that can be customized by metal type (yellow gold, white gold or platinum), diamond quality, size and length depending on your personal taste and even current trends. I especially love their engagement rings and matching bridal sets - these are actually rings I see myself wearing all the time with any outfit just as they are meant to be worn.

A lot of bloggers have written about the best dressed celebrities at the Emmys but I know the only opinion you value is mine! :))) You're not wrong - I do know everything there is to know!

Let’s take a moment and feast our eyes with the beautiful people that I appreciate even more than others because I’m addicted to TV shows and I basically live vicariously through all of them and the characters they embody in my favorite series.

Here we go – Emmys 2013 most memorable fashion moments:

Rose Byrne in Calvin Klein - a sleek and sophisticated take on cropped tops! She looks flawless!

  Jon Snow also known as Kit Harington cleans up nicely!!! Not that I'm bothered by him dirty either!

Kerry Washington in Marchesa - Olivia Pope would approve, no Scandal here, we all agree she looks gorgeous!

 Michelle Dockery in a halter neck Prada gown was the embodiment of a Lady Mary! Very excited about season 4 of Downton Abbey as you can imagine!

 Bonus - Michelle Dockery in a floral Erdem dress and yellow Christian Louboutin pumps for the BAFTA LA TV Tea Party in Beverly Hills! She can do no wrong!

 Christina Hendricks stays loyal to Project Runway alumni Christian Siriano by wearing one of his designs once again. She's always stunning but the black dress completed with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry is really  showing off her curves and lovely coloring!

Kate Mara looking very modern in a crisp white J. Mendel with a high slit! I really loved this unusual choice!

 Zachary Quinto! Enough said!

 Sally Draper is all grown up and seems to be getting Betty's sense of fashion! :)))) Seriously now, Kiernan Shipka looks beautiful and age appropriate in this whimsical Delpozo dress.

 Allison Williams in Ralph Lauren with Roger Vivier heels and Fred Leighton jewelry. The dress is simple but I love the color on Allison and can't over how flawless her hair and makeup is!

 Bonus - an even better outfit of hers - this feminine Oscar de la Renta dress with metallic heels at the BAFTA LA TV Tea Party

 At first I wasn't sold on Aubrey Plaza's Marios Schwab Resort 2014 dress but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it! Ali Larter looked equally great in lace at the Entertainment Weekly pre-Emmys party!

 Leslie Mann in a J. Mendel dress - unusual choice for the Emmys but I loved it!

Maria Menounos knows the hair and jewelry are everything - no wonder her ink colored siren dress is styled to perfection!

Arlene Carrie Preston is definitely not dressed for a party in Bon Temps, Louisiana (let's be grateful for that:))))! Her powder pink dress with the wonderful black buttons detail at the back works great with her hair color!
Feel free to tell me about any other favorite you had at the Emmys this year! How about the ones you hated?



Black and white look

I’m not the poster child for minimalism but there are days when even I feel like wearing something classy and straight to the point. A black and white ensemble will always get you there!

 A late dinner out seemed like the perfect opportunity to wear my new pencil dress that the guys over at omgfashion shipped to me literally overnight. Honestly this is the fastest I’ve ever got an order from an online store. I was really impressed!My last Asos order took two weeks to arrive and they were both sent from the UK.

And as much as I liked the bodycon dress (it’s very flattering with the white inserts on the dark background) I absolutely loved the Alexander McQueen inspiredstudded clutch. Just look at this rock and roll baby that could double as a weapon if needed – the knuckleseems a really badass ring! 

I always felt little purses are not for me but this one might have changed my mind, it’s so cool and I actually succeeded stuffing my phone, money and makeup inside quite easily. I’m a believer!

I didn’t even go overboard with the jewelry – a sparkly blue necklace and a gothic cameo bracelets were the only pieces I used to finish up this look. Those and red lipstick which is my go to trick for a night out!


I’m wearing: 
 bracelet / bratara- random brand
pencil dress / rochie creion - here
  spiked knuckle clutch / plic  - here
pumps / pantofi - New Yorker

Cobalt blue dress

At this point I see myself as pretty savvy when it comes to online shopping. That’s not to say I can do no wrong but I mostly get it right! This cobalt blue dress is one of the best choices I’ve made recently. The quality of the fabric and the design are actually quite incredible for the price tag. 

The dress has these two soft layers cleverly sewn together and you get to drape it on your body however you want. My favorite part is that you’ll invariably get the tulip shape in the front. I didn’t add much as I wanted the dress to shine but a pink necklace and a couple of rings had to be part of the story.

The relaunch of a high end perfume from the Annick Goutal Line called Eau de Monsieur at the Madiosn store seemed like the perfect occasion to take my cobalt dress out for a spin. Costincame with me and at the end of the night we were both smelling very good to say the least! :) He also took the photos so you know who to blame if you feel he didn’t capture the vision of a woman I am as good as he should have!:)))


Rochia aceasta imi place asa de mult incat o sa scriu despre ea si in romana. Tocmai a ajuns si este de departe una dintre cele mai bune alegeri pe care le-am facut in ultimul timp cand vine vorba de cumparaturile online. Materialul este elastic, dar extrem de moale si placut si rochia are doua straturi subtiri cusute ingenios astfel incat sa o poti aseza pe tine cum vrei. In mod invariabil o sa poti obtine forma de lalea in fata de care eu sunt putin obsedata. Raportul calitate-pret a fost cu siguranta peste asteptari for once! Singura nemultumire este legata de faptul ca se ridica si a trebuit sa tot trag de ea, dar in rest imi place tare de tot. N-am mai pus mare lucru pe mine, dar o pereche de ciorapi cu buline care au cedat in mod las si un colier roz tot a trebuit sa adaug.

Am purtat-o pentru prima oara saptamana trecuta la relansarea parfumului Eau de Monsieur  din linia Annick Goutal, care de-acum poate fi gasit la MADISON pe Calea Dorobantilor 152 unde s-a tinut si evenimentul. Vrand, nevrand l-am tarat dupa mine si pe Costin si nu a regretat pentru ca la sfarsitul serii miroseam amandoi foarte high end si aveam si poze sa va aratam. 

 I’m wearing:
dotted tights / ciorapi - H&M
cobalt blue dress / rochie - front row
  sequins bag/ geanta  - Debenhams
pumps / pantofi - random brand
  necklace / colier - here
