New things in my closet


Hello all!
How has your year started? I still have one more free week so I'm really excited that I have some more time for my little projects. My New Year's Eve hasn't been that great - seems like I'm too old not to care anymore if I don't like the music or the only-dancing idea. I thought I would meet some new people and make some new friends, but guess that hasn't been the idea of the party. So I was at home at 3 AM. But Christmas was great, I have spent it with my family, and I also bought a Christmas tree for my apartment here, in Cluj. I'm so so happy! :D


  I took this picture and gave it an old look. I LOVE doing this to photos!! :))

The two sweaters that you can see in the photo above are not really my type - those buttons give them a rather sporty look, but I have found them in an outlet - they are Esprit, 100% cotton and have beautiful colors - they were also very cheap. So I took them! Why not? They are perfect for when I'm too lazy to dress up and throw on a pair of converse and dark jeans. They are also great for work! I'm really happy I took them, because at that moment I wasn't that sure. Too bad it's too cold for them right now. It has finally started to snow last night! HOORAY!!

Love,

Happy New Year!!


Hello lovely ladies who visit my blog! Happy New Year! May all your wishes come true this year!
This has been my New Year's Eve outfit:
Zara glittey exposed zippers dress, Zara pink heels pumps, Accessorize tassel earrings. 
That;s all! It has been a very casual party and I still felt a little overdressed. But I really love this dress - it's both simple and glam and makes you feel sexy!

Have a blessed year everyone!!

Does it look like December to you?


(no name faux fur vest, Freeze blazer, New Yorker striped jumper,H&M bag and scarf, Zara jeans, Benvenutti suede ankle boots)
Hi all!
I have been totally in love with faux fur vests lately and have been searching for the perfect one for such a long time!! I have wanted a brown one, but couldn't find any to match my taste - either too long, ot cropped, or an unnatural color. When everything would fit, they wouldn't have it in my size.. like the brown vest from H&M - if you're into this trend, I'm sure you know that one ;) I have liked that one a lot, but size S has sold out really quick. So, on a neccessity trip to another town (Iasi), my boyfriend has found this black one in a little boutique in the town center. It's really the same model as the H&M one. Same length, to collar, no zipper, just a faux lether strap to cinch in the waist. AND - I started to love the black one!!

We went to buy a Christmas tree on Sunday, and it was really awkward to be able to dress in a blazer+vest in the middle of December. But, of course I was happy to take the vest out for the first time :)

Much love,

Teal french manicure



Flormar 129 and Flormar 112
I have tried a really new nail polish color today - new for me, that is ;) I usually wear traditional colors like red and pink, but I really wished for something new and interesting and catchy this fall. So here is this teal - very difficult if not impossible to catch in a photo. I like it, but I guess I will stick to my favs. I also had a hard time picking an outfit to match this color, and was only able to come up with a combination of white and grey and dark wash jeans.
However, I bought some new polishes today - glittery black, dark navy and a dusty mauve. I'm super excited to try them out!

Have a great time!

Plaid Shirt

Hello everyone!

I was looking for a plaid shirt for such a long time because I love them and you can wear them in sooo many ways!!
I finally found one at H&M on Friday and had to wear it yesterday. I'm really happy with it!


Wearing: very old H&M cardigan, plaid shirt-H&M new , Bershka bodycon skirt, H&M tights, Benvenutti ankle boots.

As you can see, I wore the shirt with a big wrap-around cardigan and a bodycon skirt. I'm really into bodycon skirts lately. They make me feel really comfortable, maybe because most of the skirts look so big on me. So I'm planing on buying another one in grey as well.

Behind me you can see some of my received postcards through Postcrossing.com . If you love postcards and receiving mail, you should quickly sign up there, in case you don't have an account allready :)

Have an amazing week everyone!

Manicure of the week

I'm a nail polish lover and usually very traditional with nail polish colors. I always go for a red, a coral or a burgundy. But since some weeks ago I was craving new colors! Especially mint and toupe. So I bought some yesterday from Flormar, and today I came up with this design:



The golden half moon didn't come up perfectly (especially on the right hand, in the second picture), but I'll be better with time :D This has been my first attempt on this design. Don't you think a half moon mani looks so classy? I also love the combo a lot.
Wearing Flormar 413 for brownish-toupe and NA09 nailart polish for gold, also from Flormar. They are really cheap and great quality!
This isn't however the toupe I was looking for, but it's so difficult to figure out the real hue from the bottle!! So I'll keep searching!

Hope you enjoyed my mani post! I really had fun with it! If you make a reinterpretation of it, I'd love to discover new combos! So please share! :)

Love,
