Walking down the green fence

It’s that time of the year when we celebrate Easter and The 1st of May – and we spend time with our families and we talk about things to come, dreams and hopes for the future. It’s that time again when you see your grandparents (if you are lucky enough) and they are asking you questions like when are you getting married, when are you moving in your own house, when, when, when. The pressure is big but for the first time it’s not annoying me. I’m looking forward for the future, I’m already imagining my new own home and it looks cosy and peaceful.

In the first photo I look as I am trying to keep a balance on these thin small heels – and even though these heels are super comfy as I worn them at two weddings and danced all night in them – the metaphor is good for my life. I am trying to keep things in balance, but I’m not actually sure how’s that working out for me.

Me and my sister took these photos a month ago – with an older camera with a poorer quality than the one I usually use – but because of these photos we got to spend a beautiful day together – a thing that doesn’t happen often enough – and I just loved that day. Also, we took the photos in my old neighborhood, in a place where I have deep childhood memories. I’m a very melancholic person – don’t know if I told you that before. So even though this cool look (I find it a bit too cool for me actually – because it’s too trendy and I’m not a big fan of trendy – but I liked the final outcome) is not exactly what you – or I – will wear with our families these Holidays – it’s a look I made up in 5 minutes and used it as a pretext to walk in the park and eat ice cream with my lovely younger sister.
So don’t forget that Holidays are for the family and for your inner self – to take a step back and just enjoy the simple life!  Forget about glam for 5 seconds and just be your-silly child happy dreamy–self!

E din nou acea perioada a anului in care sarbatorim Pastele si 1 Mai – in care petrecem timp cu prietenii si familia si vorbim despre ceea ce urmeaza, despre vise si sperante pentru viitor. Este din nou acea perioada in care ne revedem bunicii (daca avem noroc) si ne intreaba ce avem de gand: cand ne casatorim, cand ne mutam la casa noastra, cand, cand, cand. Presiunea este mereu mare, dar pentru prima oara aceste intrebari nu ma mai deranjeaza. Astept cu nerabdare fiecare zi, si chiar ma vad intr-o noua casa, luminoasa si plina de caldura (la figurat).

In prima poza arat putin ca si cum m-as balansa – si desi tocurile astea mici si subtiri sunt foarte comode – le-am purtat la doua nunti, unde am dansat toata noaptea, – imaginea este o metafora buna pentru viata mea. Incerc sa tin lucrurile in echilibru, desi nu stiu cat de bine imi iese toata treaba.

Pozele acestea le-am facut acum aproape o luna cu sora mea, cu un aparat putin mai vechi – deci imi cer scuze pentru calitatea mai slaba fata de cea cu care v-am obisnuit deja. Dar datorita acestor poze, am avut ocazia sa petrecem o zi frumoasa impreuna, lucru care nu se intampla suficient de des. Am facut pozele in cartierul in care am copilarit, intr-un loc plin de amintiri. Sunt o persoana extrem de melancolica, nu stiu daca v-am mai spus asta despre mine.

Asa ca – in ciuda faptului ca aceasta tinuta nu este deloc ceea ce veti purta de sarbatori alaturi de familie (nici eu nu voi purta asta) – ea este o tinuta cool [trebuie sa recunoasteti – fusta creion perforata, jacheta bomber cu print floral japonez, camasa boyfriend – toate sunt extrem de in tendinte (lucru dupa care nu ma omor deloc, dar de data asta mi-a placut rezultatul final )] si a fost un pretext bun sa-mi petrec ziua cu sora mea mai mica povestind, plimbandu-ne prin parc, mancand inghetata si descoperind locuri noi chiar in cartierul nostru!

Deci nu uitati ca Sarbatorile sunt despre familie si despre noi! Faceti un pas inapoi si bucurati-va putin de lucrurile simple! Uitati pentru 5 secunde de glamour si fiti din nou copilarosi, visatori, naivi, bucurosi si plini de voie buna, adica fiti voi insiva, acum 15 ani sau mai mult!

[ Yes, those are my legs that you can see through the skirt. It’s a sexy detail. The kind of detail that I love. ]
[Da, acelea sunt picioarele mele pe care le vedeti prin fusta perforata. E un detaliu sexy pe care il caut mereu dar il gasesc atat de rar in hainele pe care le cumpar.]

The Shopping Tip. Think about spring.

I’m sorry I’m not feeling the Holiday vibe. Maybe it’s because of all these events going on these weeks that are not letting me breathe and I have no time for presents or even to digest the fact that it’s December already and soon the Holidays will be here. I usually love Christmas. I’m like this big Christmas sucker – love everything related and I would even write to Santa if I thought there would be any chance he would pass by. As I am in denial of December and the fact that Bucharest was filled with snow last night and the night before (it was beautiful and it was the first time I couldn’t be happy for ‘the first snow’ because it stopped me from doing my job)… I am suggesting you to shop Spring. I mean, if you don’t have it, you might as well go buy it, don’t you think? With these thoughts in my mind I took the photo of this beautiful Mary Katrantzou silk skirt with a beautiful green garden print while I was preparing a photo shoot and was in search of clothes at The Place Concept Store, on Calea Dorobanti.

Wear it with a white tee or shirt (for a super cool look at the office) and a beautiful oversized necklace. Adapt it to winter with a cool pair of natural brown boots. Hint: Margiela for H&M.

What are your buys for the season? How did you bring warmth to your closet?
