New Year's Eve Look

 

Christmas came and went in a glimpse, as it does each year and I hope that you all had a fantastic and joyful time surrounded by your loved ones and most importantly, that you received a lot of presents!

 Can you believe there are three more days left and the year is gone? I was thinking that it felt like yesterday I watched Episode VII of Star Wars, but I actually watched Rogue One a few days ago - those who watched them both will know that a whole year separates the two films. 

But look at me, talking about Star Wars in my pretty silk velvet dress, instead of thinking of all the good and positive moments from the past year. Speaking of pretty dresses, I though if giving you an idea of a New Year's Eve look, based on my on personal preferences, of course. Surely, since velvet is a huge trend this season and one of my favorite fabrics ever, it was natural that I would pick this dress as my favorite for this occasion! I love the color (which is actually less blue in reality) and the draping, it just looks so feminine and elegant, I really felt for it. 

I got it at a local tiny shop in my hometown, I wouldn't have minded if it was a dark green, but this color works great with my hair color too.

Topped with some delicate golden accessories with pearls because it really doesn't need much and let the party begin!

If I won't see you in the next three days, then I'll return in 2017 with fresh new forces!

Happy New Year guys!

Sleek eyeshadow palettes

Today I want to talk about my Sleek eyeshadow palettes which I am totally excited about!

For the last several weeks I have this obsession with eyeshadows, I have been searching and looking at all colors from every possible brand, I even wanted to make my own Z palette, but I just couldn't choose the colors myself so I ended up purchasing these ones from Sleek at a very reasonable price!

I already had one, the Ultra Mattes Darks bought about a year ago, but the other two just arrived today!

I was so excited, I immediatelly started taking photos and I even made swatches, I can't believe the mess I created but I hope the result will be satisfactory for you.

This is the newest one from the big collection, the All Night Long palette and as you can see it consists of neutral , earthy tones and it's funny that I bought this one because if you would have shown me these colors last year I wouldn't even took a glance, I hated them, I found them boring and useless, but just look at these shimmery tones, I especially love the copper colors and the light color from the first row, it's actually a soft pink with golden highlights, the photo simply does not do it any justice, it's gorgeous!

Ah, the Garden of Eden -  this palette seduces you only by hearing its name. This is my favorite of all because it has the perfect violet shades which you can mix together with the perfect green shades! Each color compliments the other perfectly and I just couldn't resist that, you can make endless color combinations that will balance out amazingly.

There are sparkly colors with a satin finish and also matte colors with a light, but very light shimmer, which makes them appear so delicate and beautiful!

This is the Ultra Mattes Darks, the one I had for about a year and I have been using it since, especially the lighter transition colors. As you can tell, all colors are matte and highly pigmented, I especially love the crazy turquoise, the navy blue and the deep violet from the second row.

I also got the Nyx Matte lipstick in the shade Alabama, I really wanted to try out their lipsticks, I heard many great things about them and you know, it really is amazing because the color still has some gloss to it, but it reaaaallly stays on the lips! I mean, I ate and drank in the last 5 hours and it still stays on, but not just that, it looks as the first time I put it on, just perfect!

I wish I could've taken a photo before trying it on but somehow I managed to ruin the top and it looks pitiful right now, but hopfully the swatch will help you see the shade. It's a copper red, a color I really love and I was really looking for a long time!

In Romania, you can purchase these products from The Makeup Shop and I pretty sure you can find them in Sephora as well.

What do you say about them?

Urban chic

 

 After an enchanting post with dreamy places and romantic images, we go back to the city and on our way to enjoy a small cocktail before ending the evening with an open air symphonic concert - gotta love cultural cities, so many things can happen. 

Before grabbing a bite and explore the new pub in town called Submarine - check it out whenever you're in Cluj, the design is AMAZING - we took these photos while the light was still with us and I think I insisted too much because we almost missed our reservation. But hey, I can't stop until I have the desired results - any blogger would say the same thing. 

As for the outfit, a flapper dress, a statement blazer and some sparkly jewelry and you're good to go on a night out in town. Not too complicated but still, noticeable. ;)

In the white zone

 

 In less than 12 hours Winter installed itself without a care throughout the country. It's been snowing almost non stop and now piles of snow gathered on the sidewalk forcing you to rather skate than walk, which isn't quite convenient.

 And just when I decided to return to Cluj, the weather made this turn and I really hope that my train won't be delayed because of this. 

 But just like any other human being, I got excited at first seeing all this great whiteness around me and of course, some photos in the snow were a must! Sometimes I really miss my childhood innocence. 

As we speak I am on my way to spend the New Year's in Cluj and I really hope it will be fun. I also hope that all of you will have a blast as well and that all your wishes will come true in 2015! 

One more day left, can you believe it?

Weekend look: feminine and chic!

 

 Saturday was all about femininity, chicness and color! Since it was a warm sunny day, my spirit lift up and wanted to wear something nice to make me feel even more lively - oh, I've had the most strange days this past week; you know that feeling when you wish to shut down completely and go somewhere far away to gather yourself? Sometimes it's like that and sometimes it's alright. But "alright" isn't enough, is it? 

 By the time you read this I am probably somewhere outside the city relaxing at a barbecue, hopefully the weather is with us!

 Happy Sunday guys!

A nameless color

 Can anyone define the color of this dress for me? Because even though I studied arts and colors pretty much all my life, I still can't put a name on this particular one. Ciel blue? Pastel cyan? Aqua?
In any case it is a strange color, but still pleasant. I think I've always felt attracted by it even though I don't have anything else in this shade in my wardrobe, so when I got the change to pick something from Sheinside, my eyes fell upon this dress instantly. Not only the color, but also the cute feminine ruffle that emphasizes my chest ( #insert evil laughter) 
So for all your girls who are looking to add volume in that area and create optical illusions, this is the way to go! This is one of those simple dresses with a twist that is very easy to wear and style.

Did I mention that the fabric is so silky soft that you even forget you are wearing it?
