Cool [fashion] hunting

Are you a fan? Then click close, this is about to get nasty. I must confess I was never a Lita model fan and always wondered how they become such a must in the wardrobe of a fashionista. I know that Jeffrey Campbell shoes should make a statement, that's the reason they exist, but couldn't they be more...at least cute? I'm so annoyed by their shapes (I study architecture, it's all about shape, people!) I can't even look at them! Here are the ugliest shoes I've seen in a while: SECURITY REPRESENT AD LONG SHILO FUR

I've already told you about my fascination for Art Deco, in my post with the art deco inspired jewelry. I wrote a paper about it, and how it is related with fashion, architecture, design. are you interested? If yes is the answer, click and read. It's in romanian.

Hello Ladies, Keep this in  mind next time you'll leave the house. Thank you!

It's been a while since I discovered a great fashion illustrator (I didn't search enough to be honest.) But I remembered that I didn't post about my favourite one Arturo Elena. I already did a post with some of his illustration with vintage compared to present (check it here and here ). Anyway, I'm sure you'll love it, the style is special and unique. He is in the bussiness for 25 years and this self-taught artist is now reconognized internationally after working with great companies. His illustration are drawn by hand and only sometimes he uses photoshop for some shades or background. Although, the proportions of his drawings are unrealistic, he inspires himself frompicture, magazines etc.

I'm so glad I've taken the realistic decision to start my first 30 for 30 challenge, next month. There are too many temptations at the moment, I'm not feeling strong enough. You can say hello to my newest acquisition. Bright yellow plastic shoes! I think I'm in love. . I'm curently obssesing about plastic shoes, I don't know exactly how comfy they are, but they sure are special. So I'm hoping in the future my yellow ones will have brothers and sisters.

The blogging world is full of surprises and great undiscovered bloggers. I choose not to follow the most known anymore, since they tend to post the same old-same old, starting to get boring. I discovered a few new faces, creative people, lovely girls fresh and optimistic. But that is not the main subject of this post. While browsing some blogs I found the concept of 30 for 30 challenge. Didn't what that was all about, so I start digging. Here is what it is. Hope you'll be as excited as I am: How to take the 30 for 30 challenge: 1. Take 30 items in your closet. 2. Make 30 outfits.  If you'd like, give up shopping for the duration of the challenge. Then take that money you've saved and take a bath in it. Or put it in a savings account, whatever you think is the more responsible choice. The whole point of the remix is to show myself and readers that with a little bit of creativity, you can make what you have work for you. Interested in joining in? If you don’t ha...

I've never been a fan of nicole scherzinger's sense of style. Truth to be told, I always considered she looked a little bit kitch. But..in her latest appereance,she really managed to fascinate me. I'm into her latest look and her new  imagine  (back to the roots apparently, reminds me a lot of "don't cha"), more than you can imagine. I believe that her 3 outfits are so well put together starting with the hair that matches the clothes and even the make-up. Perfect balance! I also love how she picked her sources of inspiration, the roles of african beauty and modern pocahontas fit her perfectly. Do you notice something special in this last picture? With my eagle eyes I spotted the proenza schouler bracelets she's wearing (I published one some posts ago) and I managed to find a decent photo to show it to you. I got inspired by her, I'm trying to figure out a role that I could borrow for one day and create an outfit with that role as starting point. ...

This week was one of the weeks when the word CREATE is all you can think of, when coffee seems more vital than the air and sleep is a blessing. And the worst part is I still have ahead the hardest two weeks of this entire semester. In times like this, I just like to take 2 hours and watch beautiful pictures, search inspiring designers and just take a break from all. A real sight for sore eyes was giambattista valli for spring 2011. When I saw this collection I just thought how much I love when a person looks so neat and comfortable. I then realised that this is also the first thing I look at another person outfit.  The palette of colours looks divine, I love the nude with orange and the little white dressses.(a must in this season, my opinion). I was also glad to see some nice animal print comabinations since it dissapered completely this season and I wasn't prepared at all for this. (i'm crazy about animal print details). And also....Is it just me or the dresses from the ...

Finally, with some urgent tasks completed for school I started to enjoy summer , the sun, spending time doing nothing and ...writing a post for the lovely blog. another great thing about creating handmade accesories (beside the fact that you can create yourself pretty much everything you see and like) is that you can always find nice people that love your work and are open to swaps. Lately, swaping was one of my main activities and here is what I've gathered so far:

Yes, I would like to add this category to my blog, I have so many ideas that I wanna share, including some items that are in my shops, but I really don't have that precious time right now. But I stumbled upon a very nice blog ( c lick to check it out) today, full of joy that made me feel somehow optimistic. I found this great and simple DIY that will maybe take you 5-10 minutes. Ready? Fun or what???? Here is the source .

I am a fan of Proenza Scouler Neon Bracelet, like all the 1989829098 other fashionistas out there. And I found the perfect match to go with it.

Could this woman be more fabolous? I don't know what's her secret but she keeps on being one of my favourite fashionista. Wearing a L.A.M.B dress Wearing Stella McCarnety jumpsuit Wearing A.L.C I got the pictures from style.com Have a great day, R

I have this thing with pants, this spring I just felt the need to make them shorter, I love the undefined length, above the ankles length and I dont know why, but it didn't even occured to me to go shorten them at a tailor. I just rolled them inside. And apparently I'm not the only one!! :)) Please read below this delicious article: < “Ah, yeah, nice. You know what I really like? I like that it doesn’t have jean hem. It’s really cool.” Totally flabbergasted (Is that how you say it or does it sound super stupid?), I say to him : “Ummm… Actually, it’s just a cuff. I rolled it inside. What could be more normal than that?” (Aha! Mr. Sartorialist!) A few days later, I was with my friend Kate at Café Mogador and we spent a half hour talking about her shoes when suddenly she up and says… “And you didn’t even notice… I made a little shout out to you. Look! I made a French Cuff!!!” Totally flabbergasted, the sequel. “How is that a French cuff? Don’t you do that here? Roll your ...

Between architecture events that took place in the last week(some kind of a student festival with conferences, exhibitions etc), preparations for a handmade fair and...school I didn't exactly find time to upgrade my blog. The basic plan was to capture all that was happening at the events with my camera, show you how architure students dress but the project failed. I got distracted. But I'm showing you some other cool stuff, like the best dresses (in my opinion) at the Met Gala 2011. I also enjoyed Rihanna's look for the first time in my life and I've noticed a lot of celebrities were wearing Alexander McQueen.  Do you have favourites? Bye for now, R

...in celebrities's style: I love Heidi's Klum figure, looking a lot like a '70' it girl. She is wearing a Michael Kors jumpsuit. Flawless. Absolutely flawless. I'm beginning the hunt for the perfect white dress this summer. Gave me the impression that this style was created for her. The colour of the hair looks soooo tempting! SEE??? I told that matching shoes with bag it's a new trend. Minka Kelly wearing a Victoria Beckham dress. Some finds of mine while browsing through people.com. The list of fashion disasters(my opinion) is too long so let's just focus on the good. ♥ R

1. Wearing two watches at the time . I said it before and I'm sticking with it. I don't get it and I hate pointless things. 2. Wearing fake glasses . It may be possible to dislike this even more than number1. This is so uncool that I don't even know how to say it. (especially if the frames are Ray Ban's style) 3. Green nailpolish . This is not that bad but it makes your hand look dirty. 4. See-through items . I just don't like them. 5. Calling a two year-old bag, vintage . It also applies to other so called vintage items. And don't think you're getting away with thrifted, it has a total other sense. If it's second-hand, call it this way. And if you didn't get embaressed when you bought it, don't be embarassed admitting it. 6. (too much)Messy hair . Don't get me wrong, I like messy hair but it has its limits, you know? It could be very sexy and natural, but when the limit is crossed, you risk looking like you just slept on the bench, in...
