Cool [fashion] hunting

Just wait a minute or two until I finish dreaming about these ..oh well, dream shoes. Are they perfect? Yes, they are! Do I have the money to buy them? Not really. Do I feel sorry I spent an amount of money buying things I didn't need during sales? Yes , I DO! I've seen these live and the photos don't make them justice.Sure they look a little bit too masculine, but in reality their amount of masculinity is just perfect. I even like those little studs on them! The label is CA4LA. Here is how I'd wear them, if I'd own them.. Untitled #247 by niska featuring studded handbags  Their design is a little edgy so I'd go with it. I'd choose a printed shirt and the rest of the outfit dark or neutral. Black shorts, no jewelry or black minimalist one. Feminine but defintely not delicate or romantic. Untitled #248 by niska featuring lacey tops For the second one, I'd use kind of the same idea, playing between feminine and masculine, usi...

 Remember my top 10 looks from Paris fashion week ? I virtually visited the streets of London and here is what I liked:  5. Why I like it: Because Karlie Kloos is pretty and had the guts to chop her hair. And she did it perfectly, she looks more stylish this way! 4. Why I like it: Because it's one of those relaxed looks and warm and comfortable. You don't see that very often during fashion week so it's highly appreciated, from my side! 3. Why I like it : Because seeing female friends with incredible good taste in fashion melts my heart. ALWAYS. 2. Why I like it: Because leather pants can exist in a non-skinny shape. At the moment I love them more than the skinny ones. Extra poins for the color scheme and pointy shoes. She didn't make 'till second place for nothing! 1. Why I like it: Because I realise how hard it is to dress so simple and look so incredible. It's even harder than dressing like Anna dello Russo. What I loved most about this loo...

Okay, it was about damn time a new D.I.Y would make an appeareance around here! I have so many ideas but somehow it seems like I can't manage my time right lately. But when I found this material, there was no turning back. Yep, you got it right, there on the right is one the most kitch things that exists out there. Or at least here in Romania, it is. It's something to put on the table and it's not actually lace, it's another material (oil-cloth? did I get it right from the dictionary?) that imitates lace. Kitch right? I know. But what I learned in this 25 years since I've been around, is that you have to keep your eyes open and search for potential everywhere. And man, this fake lace thing had potential!

While enjoying the post Weekend Marvels ,on Kittenhood ,  I discovered a great sneak peak of Peter Jensen  Lookbook , and that image totally made me wanting more! I liked the idea so much and loved the result! I also took a lot of inspiration from it, the clothes are really beautiful and the styling is great!

Boys and Girls, This is my first 'kind of' colaboration, I made a guest post for Kittenhood , Daria's blog. It was a fun thing to do and a pretty important one for me, since her blog is one of my favorites and one of the first I've been following since I entered the blogging world. I tried to create something I will wear and something to also match her delicate, fashionable, chic blog (and style. ) So, here is a sneak peak of my DIY, click here to see all the steps!

You probably know Terry's work , if you don't well the basic idea is that he is so cool that invites all kinds of celebrities in his studio and takes photos of them, in various situations. But the classic ones are when the celebrity has to pose as..Terry Richardson, with his classic position and his famous glasses. Here are my favorite celebrities that visited Terry's studio! (I'm sure I missed a few, I browsed the first 140 pages of his diary .) 10.  Jeremy Scott  9. Chloe Sevigny

Nu stiu daca sunt singura care simte asta, dar e ceva poetic cu cladirile vechi, lasate in paragina. Nu ma pot hotari nicicum cum ar fi mai bine, sa le lasam sa moara purtand amintiri si vremea lor sau sa incercam sa le salvam cu constiinta neimpacata de a le distruge autencitatea si atmosfera lor istorica? Oricat de perfecta ar fi o restaurare, se sterg lucruri atat de pretioase... Cand am descoperit fotografiile lui Michael Eastman , am stat si am visat o zi intreaga si mi-am dat seama ca e ceva magic in arhitectura si in unele cladiri si parca nu reusesc sa inteleg cum o sa putem noi, cei de-acum sa cream asa spatii pe viitor.. There's something really poetic about an old building, abandoned and in advanced state of degradation. Poetic and sad (of course) at the same time. I always had mixed feelings when I thought about this problem, should we let historical buildings die or should we save them but knowing at the same time that the authenticity and their true atmosphere wil...

Something Else it really is...something else. And not necessarily for the cuts or lines of the clothes but for the prints and the message they send. 'I'm cool and stylish and delicate at the same time. And I'm obsessed with beuatiful prints'. So that's the type of clothes I kinda like. Here are my picks:

 10. Why I like it : Because of the coat and its lovely color that suits Hanneli perfectly! and because she used only 3 colors to create such a great outfit. I'm currently in love with matchy matchy outfits.

When you can't afford those (extremely cool)  Zara sneakers, the best way to cool off is to create some sets on Polyvore and hope for the best. Like maybe, someday, those outfits will become reality. Here are some ideas of outfits based on THE SNEAKERS: Untitled #240 by niska featuring furla handbags 1. A casual outfit with some relaxed pants and a top with a cool print. A super comfortable outfit for everyday activities.

I can't remember the last time I've wanted something so badly. Oh, yeah, I do, sometime during the fall, when I bought my Bershka sneakers. But, girls and boys, this is different. It almost hurts! It almost makes me cry! It all began this lovely sunday morning when I typed zara.com.... 99.95 Euro 79.95 Euro 129.00 Euro 89.95 Euro And this is where I crossed the line and clicked the X button.

5. She is Season Appropriate .  I don't know if anyone else noticed but fashion has no limits when it comes to seasons. During fashion week I saw sandals in snow, bare legs and other summer items in the middle of the winter. Why is this happening?So call me crazy but I do appreciate Ulyana for having a long coat during cold season.

Are you lusting for a Hermes Birkin or a Celine Bag but can't actually afford it? Would you like to walk everywhere with Karl Lagerfeld or Marc Jacobs or Kate Moss? Invisible Crown has the solutions. My latest discovery is their online shop which features fun fashion brooches and other cool stuff. Take a look!

In case you didn't read this article , you should. And then you should also read Leandra's Medine reply , it's probably even better. I won't write about it altough I totally agree that fashion week has become a circus, or at least that's what it looks like from here, far far away, in front of a laptop display. A circus and a desperate cry for attention which is kinda lame if you ask me, and yes, I am kinda nobody in the fashion world but since this is my personal blog after all, am I aloud to write it, with caps lock on. But there was a certain paragraph on "The Circus of Fashion" that Suzy Menkes wrote and that made me think: It is great to see the commentaries from smart bloggers — especially those in countries like China or Russia, where there was, in the past, little possibility of sharing fashion thoughts and dreams — although I am leery about the idea that anyone can be a critic, passing judgment after seeing a show (from the front only and in...

Took the last exam of University-one more project in July and good bye University Broke one of my 2013 fashion resolutions and bought too many things Got a new haircut from myself with bangs Created new things that make me proud Attended a special event in Cluj Napoca which was great Went snowboarding Said good bye to winter!

When I discovered Modern Vice it was love at first sight. How can I resist to a retro model made from soft quality leather in fancy colours? Here are my picks for her and for him. More here.
