<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while (again), this is starting to become a habit, one that I do not like. Disappearing from the online world is not a necessity for me, it's rather happening because time is not enough for me to actually browse around the big old Internet. I barely have 6 hours to sleep, 20 minutes to eat, and about 5 seconds to breathe - an exaggeration, but you get the point. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you notice that tartan print is having a come back? Or maybe is it just me and it was in trend for many seasons and I just opened my eyes now. Anyway, I saw this skirt and my first thought was: "This actually does NOT look like a table cloth" - I usually get that idea in my head when I see tartan, checkered prints and such. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just loved the fabric and the colors and also the design - that front zipper really turns the skirt one step into the modern world. I did not mean to make that sound so dramatic though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I am very late for work as it is, let me know your thoughts on this outfit, how would you wear a tartan print item?</div>

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/39237646892/in/dateposted-public/" title="xmas3 full"><img alt="xmas3 full" height="898" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4681/39237646892_033434915a_b.jpg" width="620" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only last week I got this ah-maaazing gift bag from <b>Estee Lauder</b> and I can honestly say that I have been using these products non stop ever since!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited for this gift set, mainly because it contains 8 full sized products, which are 2 lipsticks, 2 eye shadow palettes, their best selling mascara,<i> Sumptuous Extreme</i>, a blush and highlight palette, the amazing <i>Advanced Night Repair serum </i>and the <i>Gentle Eye makeup remover </i>and as a little bonus, a mini <i>Revitalizing Supreme + anti ageing face cream;</i> and of course, that gorgeous burgundy bag!<i> </i>And all for something like $90 !
Considering that only their Double Wear foundation costs $40, you can imagine how much all these products would cost individually! So it was kind of a bargain for me and I knew this set had to be my Christmas present for myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/38558967784/in/dateposted-public/" title="xmas4"><img alt="xmas4" height="460" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4680/38558967784_e571966515_b.jpg" width="660" /></a><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/39237644902/in/dateposted-public/" title="xmas4 3"><img alt="xmas4 3" height="460" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4647/39237644902_499c12bb58_b.jpg" width="660" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pigmentation of those eyeshadows is quite good and they last 10 hours without creasing or fading away (I've tested them!) one palette contains blue shades and the other one is a bit more warm toned and has purple shades, both matte and shimmer.
The lipsticks are also lovely to wear, they are not long lasting matte lipsticks, their formula is quite creamy and moisturizing, but the colors are gorgeous! And what is Christmas without a red lipstick, am I right?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I, of course, love their luxurious packaging, all gold and shiny, simple and clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes a great gift set, I mean, how could anyone say no to a free gorgeous bag and loads of makeup products?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As an ending note, I will wish you all a very Merry Christmas and maybe, a luxurious one!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe Autumn is almost at it's end and soon Christmas will knock on our doors? It's no secret that I am already feeling festive and that I have a plan on how to decorate this year's Christmas so, I can't wait to start on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really feels like November outside, the weather is really gloomy, so this is our last chance to color it up a bit, even if it is in darker colors! My favorite colors for Autumn are definitely burgundy and navy blue, I feel they are the perfect match, don't you?
It's no use to stay gloomy on the inside too, so there is nothing that some color and a cup of hot chocolate can cure, am I right?</div>

<a href="https://ibb.co/nMmEdG"><img alt="candaday5" border="0" src="https://preview.ibb.co/gJ7y5w/candaday5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you who live in Europe, I am pretty sure you are familiar with the<a href="https://www.c-and-a.com/uk/en/corporate/company/"> <b>C&A</b></a> brand, although I hear it's getting quite popular in Asia and South America too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For any of you who don't know, the brand was born in Netherlands, currently reigning over Central Europe and its targeted customer is mainly the casual-chic woman, but it also presents menswear, kidswear, XL collections and a whole lot of accessories for any age. The prices are affordable for any budget which makes the brand quite a competitor for H&M - at least that is my opinion!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the chance to create two outfits, one more casual, which encloses a very fluffy and comfortable sweater and of course, my favorite trend at the moment: embroidered jeans! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cred ca cititoarele din Romania au auzit de brandul C&A de o vreme si probabil au si cumparat din magazinele lor mai mult decat o data, pentru ca preturile lor sunt chiar prietenoase iar gama lor de haine cuprinde o varietate de varste, de la nou nascuti pana la cei 80 ani ai bunicii mai mult sau mai putin moderne! Si cred eu ca brandul este un competitor serios pentru H&M -just sayin'!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am avut ocazia recent sa creez doua tinute pentru ei, dupa propriul meu gust, aici de fata avem o tinuta casual-chic, am ales un pulover pufos si super comfortabil si o pereche de jeans cu broderie care reprezinta, bineinteles unul din trendurile mele preferate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://ibb.co/iqDwQw"><img alt="candaday3" border="0" src="https://preview.ibb.co/cZrSXb/candaday3.jpg" /></a>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for my second outfit, I chose something a bit more glamorous, a sleek velvet skirt and a loose sweater with silvery thread and of course, sparkly jewelry, all from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ca"><b>C&A</b></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about this look for a date night? Let me know your thoughts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cat despre a doua tinuta, am optat pentru ceva mai elegant, ceva...potrivit pentru o cina in oras, iar pentru mine, avand in vedere ca este totusi sezonul rece, o fusta de catifea si un pulover cu fir stralucitor alcatuiesc tinuta ideala! Plus accesorii cat mai sparkly si gata!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather we have been experienced here lately has been so lovely; it honestly felt more like Spring than Autumn!
Although the sweater-weather began a long time ago for some of you, I refused to wear knits until now, I was not ready to let go jackets and shirts quite yet.
But when I received this amazing fluffy<b> <a href="https://www.zaful.com/embroidered-loose-high-low-sweater-p_234773.html?lkid=11676353l">sweater</a></b> from <a href="https://www.zaful.com/?lkid=11676353">Zaful</a>, I could not resist trying it on! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fact that it is white allows you to wear it with tons of other colors and styles! What I loved the most was the colorful embroidery which makes it stand out in a delicate way - also, it seems embroidery is in trend this season too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who else is enjoying the Autumn colors as much as I do? I only wish I could spend each day in the park - like an old lady, yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

When did it became Fall I wonder? After my short holiday to Rome, which seems like ages ago, I got so caught up with the reality of the world that I forgot how fast time passes by and here we are, at the end of September and me, still longing for beach days and cold lemonades. I still got the Summertime sadness it seems.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These photos were taken right after a huge storm passed by, luckily, I took shelter in a cafe and no harm was done (to me at least). The light was so dim and I thought we would never manage to get a satisfying result, so it took me a week or so to decide to publish these images. The weather has been horrid since and I think it might've been the last time those white shoes saw the light this year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about these "mom jeans" ? - yet I bought another pair! The fit of these jeans really struck me and what better way to add some glamour to them than pearls? I thought it was such a nice touch, I couldn't resist them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you feel about this denim trend?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish I could wear this style of tops and dresses all year long, they are so flattering and I feel it can turn your look into a sexy one - the subtle, feminine kind. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also wish I could have more time to get back into my usual blogging schedule, but it's not that simple. I also wish I could travel more and experience exciting things. And I wish the heat could cool down a bit, it's exhausting me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post is filled with wishes it seems, I guess we all revise our wishlist every now and then, don't we? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime, my attention is focused on Game of thrones and Broadchurch, who else is hyped about these series? I know they have different themes, but hey are both equally captivating, too bad they are so short though!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been ages since last time I baked something sweet! Truth be told, the heat has not been very friendly and I wasn't really up to start on the oven to create even more heat inside the house, but I thought of all these wonderful seasonal fruits I love and that really got me into baking again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought of something simple that I really enjoy doing, raspberry cupcakes! I've never tried this recipe before, hence I was a little disappointed by the way the frosting came out, which, as you can see, it actually turned into a glaze. Not that it is not delicious, it looks really glossy and pink, but it was not exactly what I wanted to achieve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also put some raspberries inside the though, to add more savor and sweetness to it, and let's admit, we all love a surprise in the middle right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how they are supposed to look after 20 minutes in the oven. The inside is so soft, just a typical sponge cake, perfectly made I must say!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, here's the recipe, if you are interested in trying it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> For the dough:</b> 2 eggs, 175 grams of flour, 150 grams of caster sugar, 100 grams of softened butter, 1 tbs of baking powder, some almond or vanilla extract, a few fresh raspberries, and 100 ml of yogurt. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> For the glaze: </b>150 grams of powder sugar, 100 grams of softened butter, and raspberry syrup made from 200 grams of raspberries. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
About the raspberry syrup, I really wanted to add the raspberry flavor to the frosting, so I mixed the fresh raspberries with 3 table spoons of water and half a cup of sugar, I let them stir for a few minutes at low heat and then I filtered the seeds, leaving only the heavy syrup. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added this to the butter and sugar, mixed them all at high speed and the result was this glossy pink glaze that is so delicious! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bet that if I added some whipped cream, the result would've been a rich, foamy frosting instead, but there is always a next time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if you are curious to try this recipe!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Sunday guys!</div>

Already half of Summer has gone by and I am still looking forward to my vacation (soon, very soon!) and I don't know about you, but I feel that apart from eating ice cream and cursing the heat, I haven't done much this Summer. I didn't even get a change to swim or buy a new maxi dress!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well, there is still time I guess; struggling between two jobs with a sick cat does not give me much time for anything lately, one of the reasons of my MIA, actually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are spending this season far more better than I am!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a stranger to my own blog. I am guilty of being too cozy at home after a long day of work and my lack of motivation is increasing rapidly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What have I been doing these past weeks? Between working two jobs and watching drama shows, I realized Summer officially came and my only accomplishment so far was eating a mountain of cherries in celebration of this season ( I don't know about you, but we only get cherries in June here).
In the meantime, I binge-watched<i><b> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5834204/">"The handmaid's tale"</a></b></i> and <i><b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1837492/">"13 reasons why"</a></b></i> - both drama series, incredibly good and amazingly...raw. If you are into tragic stories, I recommend them dearly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I am almost done reading <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25893693-lilac-girls?ac=1&from_search=true">"The lilac girls"</a> </i>by Martha Hall Kelly<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>a story of three women during World War II. Being surrounded by these dramatic, actually tragic stories, there is no wonder I feel no excitement towards new projects and any fun plans are obscured by needless thoughts about some random existential crisis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely need to read a positive book or watch a fun show, do you have any suggestions? Let me know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you'll have a brighter weekend than mine!</div>

Can you believe it's already June? I sure can't!
Summer is here and I am dreaming of a looong vacation, countless ice creams and cocktails in the evenings.
Until then, a relaxing walk here and there and some photos in the middle, all squeezed in between two jobs - got to pay for that vacation somehow right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all doing well and I wish you a great week guys!

It's amusing how this "Mom jeans" trend grew on me since I used to consider this type of jeans so old, they were the definition of "not cool" to me, I preferred either skinny jeans or flare pants, but never something in between.
I guess that at a certain age you unwillingly change you style and embrace new options, I don't think I could ever wear Converse shoes with skater skirts anymore for example! So my attention was grabbed by this jeans fit and I realized that it really looks very well on my body, and what do you know? they have become my favorite pair. How do you feel about them?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fun fact about the print on this shirt; during my childhood, our school uniform used to have the exact same print in the exact same shade of blue and now I see it everywhere in stores, it's so funny! in a way, I thought it looked pretty interesting and it made me feel a bit nostalgic and along with that adorable ruffle, those were the reasons that made me take it home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In case you haven't noticed, this checkered print is a must this season, for those of you who want to create more sporty-chic looks. I decided to try it out because fashion is fun and its's all about experiments, right? How do you like it?</div>

If yesterday I was able to wear easy-breezy culottes and sandals, today I am in jeans and sport shoes, a very weird weather if you ask me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet, I am constructing my new Summer wardrobe in my mind and can't wait to be able to wear my new tops and skirts! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all doing great wherever you are, I am mostly dividing my time between two jobs, I am in urgent need of some coffee right now actually and I am continuously idealizing a vacation that I hope will come soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How excited are you about Summer?</div>

Today is my birthday! ( as if that is not clear enough from the pictures, title and balloons) I never had this kind of balloons, not when I was little - actually back then, you could barely find regular balloons - so I thought I would treat myself not with a cake, but with some fun, colorful photos I could revisit years later and smile with joy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you like them as much as I do and I wish you all have a great day as much as I will!</div>

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/34102055516/in/dateposted-public/" title="floral blazer4"><img alt="floral blazer4" height="944" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2823/34102055516_d588327be2_b.jpg" width="620" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking back at these photos makes me wonder how can the weather change so rapidly from sunny Spring to rainy Autumn. It feels as if we skipped Summer and went straight in November. Blame it on global warming or on mystical forces, but I simply find it hard to deal with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, my attempt for a new Spring outfit inspiration, a kind of smart casual look, feels like a joke right now in my country, but I hope that the rest of you who live in warmer climates are experiencing a much more delightful time and could actually dress like this! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The floral print blazer is a must have for me in the Spring season, this one has quite a relaxed, casual cut, so paired with some straight pants and a simple top really gets your attention and that is the whole point right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right, well, for the next week I am back to my rain coat and heavy clothing (hopefully not sweaters!) so, I hope that during this time I won't have to post an article titled "Back to Winter".</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you ready for Easter yet? If you haven't finished your festive meals, here are a few suggestions of something sweet, of course! One of my biggest pleasures in life is to bake cakes and sweets, so whenever there is a major holiday coming up, it is natural of me to post some recipes on this blog. Decorating cakes is so much fun! So here I am with some Easter inspired cupcakes and cookies recipes, I hope you will love them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I searched all around Pinterest for some inspiration and took some idea from there and decided to create some sort of bunny shapes from frosting while making the ears from sugar paste (or marzipan).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I made some Easter egg nests - these are my favorite! - a few other bunny tails and the ones with strawberries were meant to represent carrots dug up from the ground, but my glazing technique failed me this time and it did not stick to the strawberries, so let's pretend they are carrots, ok?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also made some gingerbread Easter egg cookies, now I cheated a bit with these, because I used a dough mix from the store and did not make it myself, but I promise you I spent more than three hours decorating these!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I worked with four bowls or frosting, each in a different color and I messed up my kitchen with glaze, tiny butterflies and food coloring, but I so loved the final result, I mean, the whole designing process gave me such satisfaction!</div>

Easter is all about pastel colors and fun shapes, so creating these was so much fun for me, just looking at them brings me such joy, I bet that by tomorrow they will be all gone, at least I hope they are delicious too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the ingredients I used:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the cupcakes dough: your basic 150 g flour, 120 g caster sugar, 2 eggs, 100 ml milk, 100 g butter and a bit of almond extract - my favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mixed all these and bake them for 25 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the frosting - I used the same frosting for the cookies and cupcakes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
180 g of mascarpone cheese, 200 ml of whipped cream, a bit of vanilla extract.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You also need food coloring and various cake decorations, you can find them at the baking department in any hyper market.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you like them and I will leave you by wishing you a very happy (and delicious) Easter!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
High waist pants, cropped top and denim jacket - I feel like mom in the '90s. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those pants did belong to her until that print struck my fancy and decided she would not miss wearing them, so it was safe to say that it was my turn to do that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are funny and also fun to wear, for any casual relaxing day, wouldn't you agree? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, all you millennials out there, if you ever fancy creating an outfit from mid '90s, go raid your mother's closet, it's the most convenient (and free) option! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I may be wrong, but this outfit reminded me of the classic American cowboy/country style, even though that was not my intention when I started to dress up, but hey, for a transition outfit when the weather is neither cold, nor warm, I am happy with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you are wondering how I added 10 inches in length to my hair, the answer is: hair extensions!
A ponytail to be more precise, courtesy of <b><a href="https://www.irresistibleme.com/">Irresistible Me</a>, </b>I didn't get to wear it very often because my hair color changed to various shades of red in time, but now it pretty much matches the color of this extension, so I think I am going to wear it more often now; we shall see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you guys feel about hair extensions? </div>

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/33183987190/in/dateposted-public/" title="rain2"><img alt="rain2" height="994" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3848/33183987190_68a46fd66a_b.jpg" width="620" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A mini skirt, nothing new on the horizon, I am aware, however I wanted to say that I really used to avoid this type of skirts because I felt they were too simple and my fascination for the retro 1950's knee length skirts was over the roof so that didn't help, but not long ago I began looking at mini skirts in a different light.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I still love circle skirts, they will always be my favorite thing to wear and this leather skirt you see it here is not new, but I love the shape of it and how it looks, so I wanted to dedicate an article to it, share with you my thoughts and maybe some guidance on how to style such a piece. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Make sure the skirt is made of thick leather (of course it can be faux leather) the idea is that there are faux leather fabrics that are lighter and cheap that it will simply crack and break in time - this will create a cheap look that will do no good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Wear it with short sweaters that stop just about your waistline, it creates a very chic and fun look as opposed to the classic shirt/sweater tucked inside the skirt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Over the knee boots are a must-have these days, they are the perfect match for any mini skirt and I am a big fan as well, however, today I wanted to wear them with a pair of ankle boos, mainly because it's March and well... my boots are locked up in my closet until December. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Pair it with a jacket that stops at your waistline - this option will make your skirt the center piece of your outfit. Or, longer jackets or coats work just as fine, depending on what look you are aiming for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I see everywhere around the world magnolias in bloom and sunshine everywhere, while here the cold decided to make a comeback and delay Spring. Hence the cardigan and ankle boots. I even refreshed my hair color to a bright red because I was so excited for sunnier days (but I also missed having this color for some time now). At least we have tulips to brighten our mood. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to see trees in bloom and walk around the riverside enjoying a peaceful warm day - that sounded like what an old lady would do, but sounds great to me right now! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wishing you all a sunny weekend!</div>

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/33348218345/in/dateposted-public/" title="embroidered jeans"><img alt="embroidered jeans" height="914" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/700/33348218345_09771fffdd_b.jpg" width="620" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you, but I get excited like on Christmas morning whenever I see embroidery, therefor, I am so thrilled to see it on pretty much everything, from shoes to shirts and jackets! I have such a huge respect for this craft, I know it's so difficult to make and it looks soooo precious and special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is why I couldn't resist not taking this bag home with me, nor those Zara jeans. I usually never pay more than $15 on jeans, because they don't feel that special to me, but this pair though... They stuck in my brain ever since I saw them on the website. Then I took a glance at them in the store and went away, trying to convince myself they are not that pretty (who was I kidding?) A few days past and they were still inside my mind (my philosophy is simple: if a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes makes you think about it more than two days later, then go get it!)
So, one day, I tried them on and that was that. I went one step closer to purchasing them and I don't regret it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's wonderful how some details can make a piece of simple clothing appear much more interesting and more appealing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you feel about this embroidery trend? I for one have some other stuff on my list, but let's wait for the next paycheck!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't gradually shift from boots to dress shoes, oh no, it was quite sudden, the weather took an interesting turn, not that I am complaining, but maybe I should be concerned that our planet is...dying? It's definitely not normal to walk around at four in the afternoon in 16 degrees without a hint of chill on your back, at least not for us. But hey, at least the snow is gone and I already have my Spring outfits prepared and ready to go! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of which, I took out this wonderful shirt I got during the sales season, I couldn't wait for warmer days to be able to wear it!
The classic floral print - always in style for Spring, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since it is March already, I am going to wish you all a lovely, charming Spring - I always feel in love during this season, with pretty much everything! How about you?</div>

Yesterday we had such a warm sunny day, as you can clearly see from these pictures, and now it's all gloomy and depressing. So glad I am spending my time indoors today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of yesterday, it was time to wear my pearl sweater - not that those beads are real pearls, but for the sake of feeling glamorous, we will call them pearls, ok? If you read my <a href="http://thewonderfashion.blogspot.ro/2017/02/8-things-to-do-on-rainy-day.html"><b>last article</b></a>, you know by now that I worked on transforming this plain black sweater into something more sophisticated, it was something I wanted to do for a veeery long time, I only needed patience and time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not that complicated, you just need to be devoted to the "cause", but I can assure you that after long hours, the result is more than satisfying! This way, you can turn any plain old T-shirt, sweater, or dress into a new, more glamorous, piece of clothing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to wear it with something casual and by that, I mean jeans! I haven't published photos with me wearing jeans in a ...very long time, so please, let me know what you think about this look!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great week guys!</div>

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/32831599291/in/dateposted-public/" title="books"><img alt="books" height="439" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2720/32831599291_459cd4787e_b.jpg" width="650" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know when you wake up and see that it's pouring rain outside, the kind of rain that lasts for hours, if not all day long? For some people this is relaxing and for others it can mean the end pf the world, especially if they had planned an outdoor activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, there are numerous other activites you can do indoors in a situation like this, I gathered a few ideas that I used in the past and they really worked for me, in the sense that my dark mood was lifted and I felt productive, therefor satisfied!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Here are 8 things you can do on a rainy day (or when you are bored):</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Catch up with your reading! </b>I often leave my lectures behind when I am too busy, so rainy days are the perfect moment for me to finish reading my novels; I am old fashioned, so I am always surrounded by actual books, not that I have anything against ebooks! Plus, hearing the rain outside while reading is quite soothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/32956077255/in/dateposted-public/" title="sewing sweater"><img alt="sewing sweater" height="924" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/403/32956077255_4c743eb029_b.jpg" width="620" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Create something!</b> If you are crafty and have a passion for hand made stuff, now is the time to get things done. I have postponed sewing beads on this sweater for more than a month now, but I finally got the job done and I am feeling so satisfied now, I just love the result! Same goes for creating jewelry, clothing, knitting, you name it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/32915445726/in/dateposted-public/" title="sewing sweater2"><img alt="sewing sweater2" height="924" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/285/32915445726_1ab8824438_b.jpg" width="629" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. Declutter your makeup: </b>not just makeup, you can start on your wardrobe too. You might get exhausted just by thinking about it, but once you start, you will feel so relieved that you will feel the need to reward yourself with a piece of cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/32831597741/in/dateposted-public/" title="declutter makeup"><img alt="declutter makeup" height="924" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2478/32831597741_1cb8566a27_b.jpg" width="628" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is only a part of my makeup. I organized the products I want to keep on the left side and toss the ones on the other side. No regrets! There is no use in keeping a product that has expired..eww..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96277837@N07/32141552343/in/dateposted-public/" title="declutter makeup3"><img alt="declutter makeup3" height="456" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2874/32141552343_643bc4b136_b.jpg" width="654" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Bake something! </b>You ever wanted to try a new recipe of chocolate dessert but did not have the energy or time to do it? Now is the time to satisfy your curiosity. You will be so happy with the result, you will want to do it again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5. Make lists:</b> If you are not the most organized person in the world, maybe now it's a good start. Having written words listed on a piece of paper really makes you feel more responsible about the things you have to do. It can be a list of ideas for a holiday, a list of chores, books to read or movies to see and so on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>6. Color/Draw/Paint:</b> Feeling artsy? The easiest way to spend time in an artistic way is with the help of coloring books! You now there are those beautiful books out there created by talented people like <a href="https://www.johannabasford.com/" style="font-weight: bold;"> Johanna Basford </a>which you can color in any way you feel like. Trust me, the brain will start to work thinking "what color should I put here and there?" and once you see your work done, you will feel like a joyful kid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>7. Watch a marathon of a new TV show:</b> If you're like me and sometimes feel like doing nothing productive, you will have somewhere a list of new TV series that you planned to watch, but somehow you postponed it. When you have the time, get comfy on your couch and binge watch those episodes, if the show is good, you will stay up all night too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>8. Take a bath: </b>This is maybe mandatory in this list, but hey, it does work! There is nothing more relaxing to me that sitting in a hot bubble bath, drinking wine, listening to blues by the candle light. It's a great way to end the day after you've completed the tasks above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know your thoughts about this and please, share with me your activities if you are ever stuck indoors, I am curious!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy weekend everyone!</div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Cupcake ideas for a sweet Valentine's Day!</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I don't normally celebrate Valentine's Day, not because I'm single, but because I was never attracted to this holiday in particular, it always felt too...pink for me. However, I decided this time I would try to make an effort an celebrate it in a way that makes me excited and by that I mean baking cupcakes! You might know I am passionate creating this dessert, especially when there is a holiday involved, as you can see <a href="http://thewonderfashion.blogspot.ro/2016/10/the-sweetest-halloween.html"><b>here</b></a> and <a href="http://thewonderfashion.blogspot.ro/2016/12/christmas-cupcakes-ideas.html"><b>here</b></a>. I decided not to skip Valentine's Day and see what I can come up with!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really wanted to create little marzipan hearts, but I realized I lack the skills, so I opted to use some tiny sugar hearts as decor and since it is Valentine's Day, what kind of frosting can you use if not pink? Even the dough is pink on the inside, too bad you can't see that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, instead of creating an outfit post or some makeup tutorials for this occasion, I thought this is a more romantic (and sweet) way to celebrate this day. I hope you feel inspired and don't forget the mandatory glass of wine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Valentine's Day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the ingredients I used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>For the dough:</b></i> 200 g flour, 150 g sugar, 2 eggs, 120 g butter and orange zest. Baked for 25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>For the frosting</b></i>: 200 ml whipped cream mixed with 150 g of mascarpone and 30 g of butter and a bit of vanilla extract. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I separated the frosting in two bowls and I added some red colorant gel in one of them to make the bright pink frosting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy right? I hope you are willing to try it, I bet it will be a nice surprise for your loved one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good luck and bon appetit!</div>
