Not quite there yet

 

 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. 

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! 

 Wishing you all a sunny weekend!

Chasing sunsets

 

 I couldn't think of a better title to this post, because it's not really about clothes as much as it is about the scenery and the light. I am so crazy to catch the perfect light during a sunset, so we were lucky enough we had a lovely day and our timing was just perfect! The sun disappeared as soon as we finished with these photos and I am glad I was satisfied with the results! Otherwise it would've been a total waste of time - that happened before, I am pretentious, what can I say! 

 I hope you like the images (and the outfit for that matter) and I wish you a lovely weekend guys!

New in: stripped culottes

 

 We're having a wonderful pre-Summer weather here in Cluj, so it's time to wear easy-breezy culottes and light tops! I feel so great in these pants, they are so comfortable and they look so good, I wish I could have culottes like these in every color and print!

 I chose to wear golden accessories, because this is my thing right now and you don't need much when you have a bold print on you such as these thick stripes, it gets enough attention as it is.

 Hope you like guys and have a happy Monday!

Dots and stripes

 

 I'm back after a tiring weekend in Bucharest! 

The wedding I attended was beautiful and a success, people had loads of fun, I was dead tired halfway through the night as I was running around after the bride since 12 AM that day. But it was a fun day, can't wait to see the final photos!

 These photos were taken the day after, a simple but girlie casual outfit, wearing the most comfortable shoes ever, because after walking and dancing all day in heels, you kinda need a break. That evening the weather changed abruptly and started ro rain like crazy that lasted for two days. I arrived in Cluj in a full Autumn weather, and even though it's sunny now, the air is cold and nostalgic, just the way I love it. Give me a glass of red wine and a mountain view and I am the happiest person alive!

 I wish I could've stayed longer in Bucharest and meet as many people as possible, but the time was not on my side and we all have jobs to go to, so that's an obstacle too. But there is always a next time!

 Right now I am getting ready to see "The Martian" - anyone else excited about this film? I heard it's gonna be awesome!

Little sailor

 Normally this outfit is more suited for the seaside because whenever I see navy stripes, I think about boats, sailors and beaches, but the city will do just fine too. I have no plans to go to the beach in the near future, but I do miss the soft sand and the crystal clear waters - of course, these are the ones you don't have in this country (would someone please book me a free trip to Greece or Thailand?)
 So, I will enjoy the hot pavements and I will resume my swimming at the pool and count the days until Autumn arrives. Oh, I do need some cool fresh air!

The comeback and some general thoughts

 

 Well, hello again for those who missed me! I may have to start explaining why I went MIA for about a month and a half, but I really don't have a serious reason. And don't start to think that I was lazy taking pictures, because that is not the case.

 There were various reasons why I took this long hiatus, which never happened before in 4 years of blogging, most of them are related to the fact that I somehow got lost in my daily routine, with my job and all and I didn't have time to think about what I should post about next, I had no inspiration, I had no time or need to buy new clothes and feel happy about it - seriously, I spent most of my days in the same boring jeans and various sweaters or shirts and that was about it. Whenever I had free time, I wanted to walk, read, relax my brain and watch Game of Thrones.

Then there was this issue of not having a dedicated photographer 24/7 when I needed him. And this is quite frustrating. Another reason was the weird weather. Whenever I had time and mood for photos, it was pouring rain or snowing - yea..imagine that. Then I had some problems with my PC. 

So, pilling all of that together, got me in a very annoyed state where I just felt that my passion for blogging was somehow hazed by this struggle of finding a solution for all of it, to make it work better. I still didn't find it. I don't know if I will. I would love to come up with a new concept, a new design, new places to shoot photos, but I am limited, so don't expect to get new content here, because I am the same old me, but with a few new clothes now. 

 During this time, I started to listen to a lot of jazz and blues which I love, I started once again to make a new "want-to-read" book list, I bought flowers and enjoyed them, I started cooking fancy meals and made more delicious cakes. I made a short visit to Bucharest, revisited old but familiar places and got filled with nostalgic memories, I saw my friends, my blogger friends and it was just great to change the scenery a bit. I tried finding new hobbies, but I haven't found one that enhances me as much as creating outfits and taking photos for the blog does, so I decided to continue it and mostly because certain people missed my virtual presence.

Currently I am in my hometown for the Easter holidays and I am finally enjoying the warm weather (until recently I was still wearing ankle boots). Today I choose a sporty-spice look, so different from all the floral patterns I am used to for Spring. The outfit was pretty much revolved around those cute new shoes I bought that I really needed this season - and they are so comfy!

 I looked like I was going to a tennis match and it felt great to feel a bit different.

 Anyways, I can't wait for Summer, to wear espadriles, platform sandals, chiffon cardigans and flare pants!

 I hope you are having a Happy Easter guys! I will definitely see you soon.

 I'm wearing a sweater. More likely, a cardigan, but seriously..knitwear, already?!

 Both my brian and body is confused with the weather outside and even though I considered wearing lighter layers, nothing else from my wardrobe winked at me, so this striped cardigan was a great choice in the end. Don't get me wrong, I love when chilly days are approaching and that smell of fresh cold Autumn air is the best, but it seems a little too early and I let's just say I am not mentally prepared, yet.

 I wore that rainy day a purple almost-suede thrifted dress and a royal like belt that I was so eager to wear! Again, found in a thrift shop for about 1.5 euro. 

 

Wearing: everything I am wearing is thrifted, except for the H&M green rings and Meli Melo blue stone ring and earrings.
