Casual vintage

I just realised two things: that it's already May and somehow I can't find a way to adjust to the idea yet, second, this outfit is similar to my previous one and that was, naturally, completely unintentional. I have a blazer, though not the same one, this one I am wearing here is longer and fancyer (if that is even a word) and I'm wearing again, navy pants, although these are jeans. Anyway, I wasn't even sure I wanted to take photos that day, but for the sake of my hair and makeup of which I was pretty proud that day, I said, let's give it a try.

 My birthday came and went and so did our late Easter, so I spent quiet times with family and friends. I filled my stomach with three different cakes and it's safe to say that I won't be craving for sugar for a while now.

   

 Hope you're having a great week, everyone!

  Wearing: thrifted jacquard blazer, New Yorker jeans, MiniPrix shoes, H&M bracelets and rings, vintage earrings, TinaR top 

 

Camel and navy blue

 

 Looks like I'm still infatuated with this color mix and how can you blame me? Blue goes with my hair color and blue also goes very well with nude/cream/beige/camel/orange and so on. Needless to say that I have been wearing that cape for the last week, it's like I've rediscovered it in my wardrobe after someone from Narnia snitched it from my closet. (Those who know the Narnia books, know what I mean).

  There are 10 more days left unbtil Christmas and I couldn't be more excited. But I'm even more excited when I think about the release of "The Hobbit 3" in a few days, wohooo! I've been watching all sorts of films and shows recently, including the dreamy Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - it's a must, every year. 

Now I'm off to the famous antiques fair we have here every month, hopefully I will find some treasures (and Christmas presents)

 Have a lovely Sunday guys!

All neutral + Giveaway winner announced!

 

 My love for Baroque inspired prints started way back, and only recently I managed to find a beautiful sweater at Sheinside.com in these gorgeous bold colors. It keeps me warm and it's so fluffy and not to mention gorgeous! 

Now, the skirt, this is actually a funny story: I went to my local "everything-you-need shop" around the corner to buy some bread and somehow, the owner decided to improvise a kind of thrift shop as well. So, I stood there about half an hour trying on things and ended up buying this skirt and two hats, plus the bread! 

The kind of things that happen in this country...

Needles to say, the prices were ridiculously cheap.

Congratulations! 

 Can't believe Christmas is around the corner, have to make preparations.. see you guys soon!

 

My name is Candy

 

 I do sure feel like a candy whenever I dress up in certain shades of pink, or minty green, baby blue, lilac or pale yellow...

I want to talk about the skirt I am wearing here, it is from an older collection from H&M and I remembered how much I wanted to buy it back then but I never seemed to have the amount of money needed. As soon as my dreams of my affair with it were gone, so was the collection from all stores! Aaaaaaand, just a few days ago, as I was looking rather bored through the skirts section in a thrift shop I saw it there with the specific heavenly glow and instantly grabbed it and ran to the dressing room (my size!) and almost bouncing up and down to pay for it (and it was ridiculously cheap, I am not even going to say it)

 I am still wondering how this amazing, flawless skirt ended up in a thrift shop; why would anyone give it away?! (perhaps it was stolen?) In any case, it's my treasure now! 

The other day I found this wonderful pair of sunglasses, that reminded me of the Prada Baroque ones - which I love dearly - but these don't cost as much, naturally. I think I will be living in them for the rest of the Summer. 

 Oh and about the shoes, here's a funny story: I bought them like five years ago for my prom, but then I found another pair more suiting with the dress and I gave up on these...until now! I am telling you I never wore them (outside the house) in all these years and now I just love them! Funny how our perspectives change in time right?

   

  Wearing: H&M skirt, Pinkie top, vintage black necklace and belt, Meli Melo rings and sunglasses, thrifted Primark bag, MiniPrix.ro old shoes.

The Fantasy Blazer

 

 I told you about how I found a blazer a few weeks ago in a thrift store.. well, after some altering, here it is, and I still need to work a bit on it. I was so amazed when I saw that embroidery..or..whatever it is; the golden threads drawn on a perfect black velvet..it's like something from my Fashion Dreamland! 

And the reason I dressed up so lightly, is because it got warmer - which honestly was very surprising. 

I am already late for my haircut appointment! 

See you soon! 

 Wearing: thrifted blazer, Kara leather shorts, Leonardo boots, H&M bracelets and green ring.

 

Luxury is sinful

 

 Vogue Japan, October 2012 

These photos to me are like Lust, making me commit a sin, it's like they are inviting me into their world of luxury..of opulence.. of glory. Somehow this Baroque trend makes me feel as if I am at home. I would kill to own something so glamorous as these dresses, with all those golden ornaments and fabulous lace and not to forget the statement jewelery! 

Why wasn't I born in that era, as a noblewoman?..
