Layers of knits

knit layers3 

 One day is snowing, another day it feels like an early Spring, the weather seems confused and so do we. This past weekend we experienced a very warm and nice time, so there was no need for a heavy coat, bur rather a cozy cardigan over a light jumper and it felt very comfortable and just right, even during the evening when it got a bit more colder.
 Knits are the best thing you can wear during a transitional season, they really keep you warmer than 5 layers of cotton sweatshirts, there is something about natural wool that preserves the body temperature, don't you think so?
 This was my outfit for the weekend, I chose to wear some of my favorite knitwear in contrasting colors, just what I needed for a colorful relaxed Sunday afternoon.

 Happy Monday!

The perfect little Summer dress

 I hope you had a great weekend guys! Mine was quite full, a friend of mine came to visit for a few days and I got to pay the tourist this past weekend, so we walked around pretty much all day, showing her all the main attractions and the coolest bistros the city has to offer, so it was both relaxing and tiring at the same time, but nonetheless, fun!
 For this, I got a chance to wear this easy breezy dress I bought not long ago, especially for the hot Summer days we are dealing with right now. I was attracted by the very light fabric and the fact that it can be worn off the shoulders, of course! I convinced myself that I need this dress in my life and I wasn't wrong! It's so practical and yet, very romantic, perfect for my style.

The secret wine bar

Happy Monday everyone! If you are not a "Monday person" like 89% of Earth's population, then keep on reading this post, maybe you'll feel inspired or leave with a smile on your face.

Have you ever encountered a place that was capable of charming you so hard that you couldn't just not think about it for days or weeks? Such a place is here in Cluj, I can't take the credit of finding it, but ever since I went here for the first time, I was struck by this simple idea: "I need to take photos here!" It is too beautiful not to photograph, not just for me, but I really wanted to show it to you as well. 

 This gorgeous place called Sax, it's a jazz wine bar, so you can only drink wine of all kinds, the bottles are exposed on two big walls and the offer is outstanding, so it can be a little overwhelming if you are not an expert in wines - much as myself. The kind gentlemen who run the place will tell you the story of the wines they offer and make suggestions according to your preference. Pretty classy, right? 

 The idea is that this place is quite secret, I can't tell you where it is, apart from the fact that it is located in Cluj, Romania, if you are in the city, you can visit their Facebook page, give them a call, make a reservation and ask for the entry password. Yes, there is a password - I told it was secret! 
 The fact is that the owner wanted to create this place for private gatherings and while they did that, they wanted to offer a taste of their wines and music (oh, their jazzy music is just a true delight!) to other people as well. Therefor, gradually, people started to find out about this place from mouth to mouth, much like the old folk tales, and that is something I find to be so cool! 

 Scroll down for more photos and I hope you will be charmed as I was!

They even have a little terrace filled with flowers, such a gem right? 
 Aren't the furniture and decorations amazing? Every little piece was refurnished and there are so many tiny details that can get your attention, you just need to look. The style is so glamorous and the colors! Aren't the colors just enchanting? 

 And you can't even imagine how lovely it is during the night time, when both rooms are filled in a romantic mood with dim light, it just feels really cozy, as if you are visiting a close friend's home.

 If you are a vintage and jazz lover, this is a place you simply cannot miss! 

 Hope you enjoyed this article as much as I did creating it.

Blooming Spring

spring pants 

 Bloom in the trees and bloom on my pants as well - that may sound weird but seriously, what better time to wear these trousers than now, when all my favorite flowers are in bloom and there is color everywhere! 
And how great it is that it's finally Friday? Sometimes it feels like certain weeks go by slower than others and when the weather is good, you only want to plan your next vacation rather than to work, I bet you know what I mean. 

 That being said, have a relaxed and exciting weekend everyone!

The Pucci print skirt

This weekend has been a bliss! I am so happy for this weather, finally, it's warm enough to sip a frappe on a terrace and to lay on a bench in the park; so I was so excited to take this gorgeou skirt out for the first time!
Needless to say the skirt is the star of this outfit, that crazy beautiful Pucci-esque print really catches your eye and that is why I took it, naturally.
Back in the day, Emilio Pucci used to made his designs in such artistic and creative prints, they looked so modern and colorful, it was something I was looking for a very long time. Believe it or not, I found it in an outlet (Cluj is filled with them) not long ago and I paid for it a quarter of the original price and that in my opinion, is a true win.

I hope you are having a warm and relaxed weekend, guys!

Let's turn to pinks

29 1 

 Not wearing the colors of the year, but close enough right? I mean my cardigan is in a rather dirty pink shade than a pastel pink, but I prefer it like this anyway.
This is quite a shift from my previous outfit, where I wore dark grey shades with just a hint of color, but this time I turned to girlie colors, perhaps I was in a good mood that day. 
Strangely enough, it's Monday today and I am not in my usual grumpy "I hate Mondays forever and ever" mood, maybe because I know I'll have two days off from my job after and that's what excites me and keeps me going. I have a, hopefully, lovely dinner planned on Tuesday and ballet show the next day, so yes, with that in mind, I'll start the week positively!

Have a joyful week guys!
