NewAge meets OldSchool

EN

Trough my hobbies I can include the old buildings and bridges, though the second one is the subject of another discussion.

This time the chosen location was the Dosoftei House also called the Arcade House. It is a building built of stone who is dating since 1677 (more or less). Currently is hosting the department of Ancient Literature of Romanian Literature Museum from Iasi. If it were up to me I would take all the picture near to stone walls, ruins, castles, bridges, fortresses and many like that. I am fascinated by ancient architecture, the streets of cobblestone pavements, the maze streets, archaeological sites, mosaics and murals. They represent in my acceptance the definition of beauty.

Going back to the outfit of the day .... I would talk first about my hair. Yes, my hair. I would not say that this kind of hairstyle it fully represents me, the hair bound in a low ponytail and parted in the middle. But I see such a hairstyle elegant, feminine also with a touch of drama and why not. .. is a saving solution when inspiration leaves you.

Printre pasiunile mele se numara si cladirile vechi si podurile, insa cea din urma face subiectul unei alte discutii. Data asta am ales ca locatie Casa Dosoftei numita si Casa cu Arcade. Este o cladire construita din piatra si care dateaza cam de prin anul 1677. In present gazduieste sectia de literatura veche a Muzelului Literaturii Romane din Iasi. Daca ar fi dupa mine m-as poza la toate zidurile din piatra, la toate ruinele, castele, podurile, fortaretele si altele asemenea. Sunt fascinata de arhitectura veche, de stradutele labirint, de pavajele cu piatra cubica, de siturile arheologice, de mozaicuri si picture murale. Acestea reprezentand in acceptiunea mea definitia frumosului.

Revenind la tinuta zilei…. m-as lega mai intai de par. Da, de par. Nu as zice ca ma reprezinta in totalitate acest gen de coafura, parul prins intr-o coada joasa si cu carare pe mijloc. Totusi consider ca o astfel de coafura are eleganta, feminitate si da o nota de dramatism si de ce nu .. este salvatoare cand inspiratia te paraseste.

Princess at the Castle

EN

Because is time to say goodbye to this wonderful dress I thought of giving it a last tribute.

The dress is having a very long story, that long that I do not know it entirely. I purchased it a few years ago from a vintage website. In its original form it was long to the ground. I brought it to a medium length and in addition I “dressed up” the top side of it with a fabric having metal insertions. I turned it into a real “gem” was my first occasion dress .. and yet a dress.

It was with me to a numerous events (weddings, New Year parties), attracted eyes, admiration and envy of many but today I wore it for the last time and also for the first time in a street style way.

The combo of different textures will always be catchy and, luckily the trends from the past few years allow us; even encourages us to juggle with textures, shapes, volumes and colours. If years ago knitted sweaters were accepted only with jeans, today we can match them with silk pants, lace skirts, cotton dresses, within casual office attire or tulle ruffles dresses.

Till next time stay fashion!

From Romania with love!

Intrucat mi-am propus sa-mi iau ramas bun de la aceasta minunata rochie mi-am zis totusi sa-i ofer un ultim tribut.

Rochia are o poveste foarte lunga, atat de lunga incat nici eu nu o cunosc in intregime. Am achizitionat-o ceva ani in urma de pe un site vintage. In forma ei originala era lunga pana in pamant. Am adus-o la o lungime medie si in plus i-am imbracat partea de sus cu un material avand insertii metalice. Am transformat-o intr-o adevarata bijuterie, a fost prima mea rochie de ocazie.. si inca ce rochie.

Mi-a fost alaturi la numeroase evenimente (nunti, revelioane), a atras privirile, admiratia si invidia multora insa astazi am purtat-o pentru ultima data si totodata, pentru prima data intr-un cadru de street style.

Asocierea de texturi diferite mereu va fi catchy si din fericire trendurile din ultimii ani ne permit, ba chiar ne incurajeaza sa jonglam cu texturile, formele, volumele si culorile. Daca cu ani in urma puloverele tricotate erau acceptate doar la jeansi, azi le putem asocia cu pantaloni de matase, fuste de dantela, rochite din panza topita, in cadrul tinutelor casual office sau chiar la rochii din tul cu volane.

Pana data viitoare ramaneti in tendinte!

Din Iasi cu dragoste!

#IasiFashionBloggers - Flare and ruffles

EN

After a long weekend filled up with all sort of things I started the week enforced and having a positive state of mind. 

How did you start your week?

First let me tell you a bit about the event that marked the end of the week, the meeting with fashion bloggers from Iasi (Romania). I was pleasantly surprised that we are so many passionate by beauty and  aesthetics. I met some great girls, creative, having different styles, girls with full time jobs or students, passionate by arts and culture and who manage to divide between personal and professional life and blogging. Stay tune we will be back with more surprises!

P.S. If you want to follow them click the last photo so you can find them on Instagram!

Due to some of your requests I promise I will recreate the outfit worn yesterday at a future date, for now I have prepared this outfit whose defining elements are flared jeans and ruffles shirt. I see this outfit as a studied one focused on bold accessories and splashes of color, starting with the shade of lipstick, continuing with the bag and ending with the raw green of the environment.

Yet the idea from which I started in associating the ruffles with massive brooches was based on one of the 2016 trends, the Victorian style .. royal. Characterized by ruffles, English embroidery, high collar, wide sleeves, bowknot; creating an imposing and sumptuous look.

Until next time stay fashion!

From Romania with love!

Dupa un weekend plin cu de toate am inceput saptamana in forta si cu o stare pozitiva. 

Voi cum va-ti inceput saptamana?

Dar, sa va povestesc  un pic despre evenimentul care a marcat sfarsitul de saptamana si anume despre intalnirea cu bloggeritele din Iasi. Am fost placut surprinsa ca suntem atat de multe pasionate de frumos si de estetica. Am cunoscut niste fete extraordinare, creative, cu stiluri diferite, fete cu joburi full time sau studente, pasionate de arta si cultura; si care reusesc sa se imparta intre viata personala, profesionala si blog. Stati aproape pentru ca va vom pregati multe surprize!

P.S. Daca vreti sa le urmariti pe fete dati click pe ultima fotografie astfel le veti putea gasi pe Instagram!

La cererea unora dintre voi promit ca voi recrea tinuta purtata ieri la o data viitoare, pentru astazi am pregatit aceasta tinuta care are ca elemente definitorii jeansi evazati si camasa cu volane. Asta in linii mari, in realitate am construit o tinuta studiata cu accent pe accesorii bold si pete de culoare, incepand cu nuanta de ruj aleasa, continuand cu genta si sfarsind cu decorul.

Totusi ideea de la care am plecat in asocierea volanelor cu brosele masive a fost unul dintre trendurile anului 2016, stilul Victorian, regal. Caracterizat de volane, broderii de inspiratie englezeasca, gulere inalte, maneci cu volum, fondite; creand astfel un stil impunator si somptuos.

Pana data viitoare ramaneti in tendinte!

Din Iasi cu dragoste!
