Happy 20

Well hello. Remember me? I know I’ve been missing these last days but as I told you, I’m kinda busy with my finals(I still have 4 to go) . Also, last Sunday was my birthday (now I’m 20, yuppy, I’m older) so I was even busier eating huge amounts of cake and getting fat.

Ei buna. Va aduceti aminte de mine? Stiu ca am cam lipsit in ultimele zile dar dupa cum v-am spus, examenele imi mananca zilele(si ultimii neuroni ramasi). Pe langa asta, Duminica trecuta a fost ziua mea (am facut 20 de ani, ce bine, incep sa imbatranesc) deci am fost chiar mai ocupata mancand cantitati industriale de tort si ingrasandu-ma . Inca incap pe usa deci e ok.

I wore a River Island skirt, a vintage blouse, belt and clutch, ASOS watch and River Island sandals.

I know it’s hard to belive but, despite the 6 inch heel, these sandals are incredibly comfortable and my newest shoe addiction. Actually I think I’m getting a River Island addiction, I’m quite obsessed with 80% of their stuff.

Am purtat o fusta River Island, bluza, curea si poseta vintage, ceas ASOS si sandale River Island.

Stiu ca nu ma credeti (nimeni nu ma crede in cazuri de genul asta), dar, simt nevoia sa imi racesc gura de pomana si sa va spun ca, sandalele acestea, in ciuda celor 15 cm de toc sunt incredibil de comode si ultima mea obsesie in materie de incaltaminte. Defapt, cred ca am capatat o obsesie pentru River Island la general, salivez la 80% din produsele lor (vedeti ce exacta sunt?)

Toodles!

Yes! Now we have Jeffrey Campbell

It’s not a secret what a huge Jeffrey Campbell fan I am. I love almost all of his designs, the guy is a genious! So it’s only natural that I was thrilled to hear that we’re finally going to have a shop here, in Romania, that actually sells his shoes. Real shoes! No online shopping, no taxes, no anxiety or any pain at all(trust me, I know what I’m saying about the pain). The launch was yesterday and since I got invited…how could I not attend? 😀

Nu e un secret pentru nimeni ce fan imens Jeffrey Campbell sunt. Imi plac aproape toate creatiile lui, ce sa mai, tipul e un geniu! Deci va dati seama ce bine mi-a parut cand am auzit ca vom avea in sfarsit un magazin aici, in Romania, care chiar sa-i vanda pantofii. Pantofi pe bune! Fara shopping online din afara, fara taxe, nerabdare sau dureri de orice fel(crede-ti-ma, stiu ce zic). Lansarea a fost ieri si din moment ce am fost invitata…cum as fi putut sa nu particip? 😀

The boutique is called Chantal…

Magazinul se numeste Chantal…

There were the white Foxy’s

Am putut gasi acolo Foxy urile albe

The pink ones

Cele roz

The glitter ones

Cele sclipicioase

The Lita’s(of course!)

Litele(normal!)

The Hathaway’s

Hathaway urile

Clogs

Saboti

But also many lovely clothes, from jeans to dresses

Dar si multe alte haine dragute, de la jeansi pana la rochii

There was a raffle and the winner could choose any pair of Jeffrey’s shoes he wanted!

A fost si o tombola iar castigatorul si-a putut alege orice pereche de JC a vrut!

And guess what? My friend Silvia won! You lucky girl 😛

Si ghiciti ce? Prietena mea Silvia a castigat! Norocoaso 😛

She picked the pink Foxies

Si-a ales Foxiurile roz

Besides the delicious shoes, there were delicious macaroons, martinis and lemonade

Pe langa incaltamintea delicioasa, mai erau acolo delicioasele macaroons, martiniuri si limonada

Of course I couldn’t resist trying them on…

Normal ca n-am rezistat fara sa probez…

Here I was talking to the friendly owner(she actually went to Jeffrey’s home in America! How cool is that?)

Aici vorbeam cu proprietara foarte prietenoasa (imi povestea cum a fost acasa la Jeffrey in America! Cam cat de tare e asta?)

Aaaaand(drums please), I finally got to meet the lovely girls from The Hearabouts…

Siiiiiiiiiii(tobe va rog), am reusit in sfarsit sa le cunosc pe fetele dragute de la The Hearabouts

The girls from Bucharest style and some other cuties

Pe cele de la Bucharest style dar si alte fete simpatice (ale caror poze ba nu le am, ba nu au iesit clare)

As for what I wore… River Island pants, Zara blouse, Giuseppe Zanotti wedges and no name accessories.

Cat despre ce-am purtat eu…pantaloni River Island, bluza Zara, sandale Giuseppe Zanotti si accesorii no name.

Toodles!

Feast for the eyes

Last night, while I was browsing online, I came across some old magazines such as Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar. I have a huge folder on my computer with vintage photos, adverts and editorials but covers are usually something hard to find (I only collect stuff from the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and the 70’s; I don’t like 80’s magazines). So, I was sitting here looking at these covers, desperatly trying to save them on my computer(as if they ran away or something-paranoia, I know) and thinking…wow…how could something be so beautiful? The photos are just breathtaking, I loooove the make up, the clothes-you can imagine how I drool but my favourite thing has to be these women’s body shapes. Those tiny tiiiiiiiiiiny waists, always cinched with a belt are driving me nuts!

Here are some of my favourites…

Azi noapte, in timp ce bantuiam online, am gasit niste reviste vechi (scanari ma refer) ca Vogue sau Harper’s Bazaar. Tin in computer un folder imens cu poze, reclame si editoriale vintage dar din cate am observat eu, copertile sunt in general greu de gasit ( nu colectionez decat pe cele din anii 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 si 70; astea de la 80 in sus nu-mi plac deloc). Stateam lipita de ecran, uitandu-ma la coperti si incercand disperata sa le salvez ( de parca dispareau in secunda urmatoare sau cadea curentul-paranoia, da) si ma gandeam…wow…cum poate ceva sa fie atat de frumos? Fotografiile ma lasa fara grai, machiajul e splendid iar hainele…mai are rost sa spun cum imi ploua in gura? 🙂) Insa, ce imi place cel mai mult este forma corpului acestor femei. Taliile acelea miiiiiiici mici, intotdeauna incinse de o curea, ma obsedeaza!

Iata o parte din favoritele mele…

Look at that waistline!
Priviti talia aceasta!

This cover and the next one are from 1933. How cool is that?
Coperta aceasta si urmatoarea sunt din 1933. Tare, nu?

My personal favorite is this one, a vogue cover from 1961
Dintre toate, preferata mea este aceasta, o coperta vogue din 1961

Vogue cover from 1917
Coperta Vogue din 1917

A 60’s editorial
Un editorial din anii 60

An amazing Yves Saint Laurent editorial:
Un superb editorial Yves Saint Laurent:

I love her haircut!
Imi place tunsoarea ei!

Aaaaaahhhh, those dresses!
Aaaaaahhhh, rochiile alea!

This is a Christian Dior advert from the 50’s
Aceasta este o reclama Christian Dior din anii 50

Hopefully one day I’ll own some of these magazines – I dream. And wish : )

Sper ca intr-o zi o sa pun mana pe genul acesta de reviste- Visez. Si-mi doresc : )

Spinning And Twirling

(Vintage skirt, River Island blouse, Zara sandals, Bershka belt, vintage clutch, no name jewellery and ASOS watch)

(Fusta vintage, bluza River Island, sandale Zara, curea Bershka, poseta vintage, bijuterii no name si ceas ASOS)

Don’t you just love it when a cool breeze moves up around your legs, reminding you that you have a skirt on?

Nu-i asa ca e splendida senzatia vantului jucandu-se in jurul picioarelor voastre, amintindu-va ca purtati fusta?

It’s that time of the year

So yesterday I had my second exam out of 8. 6 more to go but I already feel stressed and tired. I really hate this time of the year, it’s just too much stress! So for a month or so I’ll be quite busy studying but hopefully I’ll be able to update the blog frequently.
Now…about my outfit. I felt sooooooooo comfortable wearing it a few days ago, for classes and not only. I’m telling you, maxi lengths are the best thing to wear on summer! My skirt is from River Island, it has a sheer, soft fabric and a beautiful feathers print so it’s pretty obvious why I love it but I admit, I would’ve liked it to be longer and cover my shoes 🙂
Worn with a New Yorker crop tee, Jessica Simpson sandals, C&A bag, vintage belt and jewellery and a random brand hat.

Do you wear maxis? 🙂

Deci ieri am avut al doilea examen din 8. Da, am inceput sesiunea. Mai am inca 6 dar deja ma simt stresata si obosita si chiar urasc perioadele astea ale anului, e mult prea mult stres! Asadar pentru o luna, voi fii destul de ocupata cu invatatul dar sper sa pot updata blogul des.
Acum…despre tinuta mea. M-am simtit suuuuuuuuuuper comod purtand-o acum cateva zile, pentru cursuri si nu numai. Va spun, lungimile maxi sunt cele mai potrivite lucruri de purtat vara! A mea fusta este de la River Island, are un material moale si usor transparent deci e destul de evident de ce imi place(ah, ce previzibila sunt) dar recunosc, mi-ar fi placut mai mult daca era mai lunga si mi-ar fi acoperit si incaltamintea:)
Purtata cu un tricou scurt de la New Yorker, sandale Jessica Simpson, geanta C&A, curea si bijuterii vintage iar palaria e de la Meli Melo.

Voi purtati lungimi maxi?:)

Toodles!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Ok, so I woke up this morning, opened my laptop and started reading blogs, as I usually do and big (actually huge) was my surprise when I saw myself drawn by the most talented girl i follow online, Rach. You can check out her blog here.
So…a big shout out for you my dear and thank you hugely! I love these sketches to pieces 🙂

Ok, ma trezesc eu in dimineata asta, deschid laptopul si incep sa citesc bloguri, asa cum fac de obicei. Si ce sa vad? O mare surpriza! Rach, cred ca cea mai talentata fata pe care o urmaresc prin blogger m-a desenat! Ii puteti vedea blogul aici.
Nu mai scriu multumirile si in romana, ideea e ca mi se par minunate desenele, le iubesc si ma holbez la ele si ma bate gandul sa la printez si sa le pun pe perete:D
