Classic old tartan

 

 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. 

Adult life is not a pink dream. 

 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. 

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.

 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?

Summer is just around the corner

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.

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! 

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!

How excited are you about Summer?

The blue fluffy coat

 

 I'm that person usually comfortable in the classic, elegant style, with a bit of glamour on top, but every now and then I enjoy a twist of eccentricity and this blue furry coat is the one I am referring to here.

 I remember buying it a looong time ago on an impulse. It was so different than everything else I saw in stores and back then I used to be this restless spirit that wanted to be as colorful as possible, but also, in style! I wanted to feel that way again so I decided to wear this coat on a Sunday afternoon and you know what? I still love it, which is quite something considering the fact that I usually get bored of 40% of my wardrobe season after season. 

How do you like it? I am curious to know!

Summer's end in color

My oh my, Summer is ending and  I am not rooting for Fall at all! Although we registered crazy hot days in September as well, but not for too long, the evenings begin to feel more chilly and confusing.

I am still clinging onto colorful outfits, hence the crazy printed skirt and why also not add another pop of color, like a bright red? Everything goes, so there you have it!

I got this top not long ago actually, for those who don't know, I am now obsessed with off the shoulders blouses and if there are ruffles involved, then I'm sold! I am fully committed to this trend and I hope it will never die!

How do you like this style of tops/dresses?

Places to see: Corvin Castle

 

 I was so excited for this one day trip, because I wanted to visit the Corvin Castle from Hunedoara, Romania, for a veeery long time, but since I don't own a car, getting there can be a bit difficult, the city appears to be quite secluded.

 If you follow me since the beginning of times, you know that I am fan of everything that is aristocratic, castles, old mansions and such. See here my article featuring Peles Castle from Sinaia if you want to convince yourself.

 After 3 hours, we finally arrived in town andguess what? It started raining! Surprisingly, that didn't let me down, by the time we finished visiting the interior, the rain stopped, but on the bright side, we entered the castle for free! A family walked towards us and they probably saw my excitement while shooting some photos outside and gave us an invitation that granted us free access, which was very nice of them! 

So while I was taking dreamy princess-like photos around there, trying to find spots less crowded by tourists, my dress was filled with mud because of the rain, of course, and I had sand in my shoes just like in true medieval times, right? 

Even so, I was happy I got to visit the castle, it's quite lovely but not very opulent, of course, there is no such thing during Medieval times, everything was much more austere, if you ever have a chance to visit Romania, be sure to check out this place, it's filled with history.

I hope you loved the photos!

Happy Monday guys!

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!
