Backless

I am very happy that one of my friends, young designer, is helping me with my mint dress for the college reunion I was (I think) telling you about. So, not only that she drew some sketches for me together with her teacher, but she is also helping me to find the perfect mint silk and have a splendid dress in the end…And I was speaking with her all morning about backless dresses and the perfect cut in order to match the shape of the back. “We are not all models, so I do not have a perfect back” I told her and she said: “Let me tell you something: skinny backs are not the best of, it depends on many other things, for example if you are a sportive person, than your back can be too wide or if you have wide hips, that the cut has to stop above your hips”.  So, what do you want to see when you are looking at a person wearing a backless dress? Or do you like backless dresses?

Have a lovely weekend! I’ll see you on Wednesday as I’m having a long weekend, we are celebrating in Romania the 1st of May – the Working Day (by not working, wink)!

Floral

I know everybody is fed up with the floral trousers of Olivia Palermo and her leopard shoes, but if we take only the trousers and match them with other shoes/sandals, I think is a marvelous idea, right? Looks who’s talking, the girl that almost never wears prints. I bought 3 pairs of trousers last week, no prints though :(. Maybe I have not found the perfect floral trousers yet. My favorite are Jessica’s trousers that I have already posted (this ones) and the last ones, photo with the lilac clutch.

Lilac

How is spring treating you these days? Here, the sun is lovely, I had half a day for outdoor activities and I enjoyed every ray of sunshine (a little bit of tan would not be that bad, wink). I love the lilac flower, not just the color, but the smell of the street where people have chosen lilac for their garden. This is a great idea for the front of the building where you live, don’t you think so?

The weather forecast is awful for today, storm and heavy rains, but until now it is perfect. If the rain comes, it’s ok with me, I am planning a bar theater night. Enjoy your day!

Mint jeans

Another week, another Monday, but sunny outside and inside! I am so happy to have purchased my dream mint jeans this weekend! And below, some of the fabrics, tailoring and details that I would like to have on my mint dress. I have a special event in May and until my mint jeans, I had no idea on the color, now I know! Fabulous!

Green Street Fashion

I don’t think I have to say it again: I am in love with green, always been, always will be. So, have a green weekend!

Opinions

What about stockings and open toe pump or sandals? There was a time when everybody was saying: “Never stockings and sandals!“. I am still one of those persons. But there’s no rule without exception, so if I were to wear such short  grey or beige or burgundy stockings (and I have a lot of them, I told you my obsession with Calzedonia, I even avoid now driving near the shop on my way to the office not to be tempted to stop) like Lily Cole and a crazy colored dress, having a coffee in Paris or Rome, wink, I would dare to have my sandals on, if not, no way! For example, I will never wear long classic black stockings with sandals. I chose this photo because it entirely represents my image of this combination. There is no other way, for me, of course, to use stockings with sandals. So, I am still a classic or just normal?

In my garden

I wish I had a lot of flowers in my garden. When you read garden, please think about wardrobe and when you read flowers think about dresses. Even if we had some bad weather this Easter (a lot of rain, but warm enough for the flower print dresses and leggings), I was not unhappy. My mood is usually depending on the weather outside, but this time I did not care about the rain, I enjoyed my long and rainy weekend, wink.

I hope that all of you who celebrated Easter this last weekend had a marvelous time.

Daydreaming

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now this is why I want to live in Amsterdam or in a small town in Netherlands…kind of cold though, but if I can ride a bike on my way to work, dressed in a tulle skirt and have a basket full of flowers and cakes or maybe some butter croissants, I am happy to wear more layers. But until then, I’ll pay a visit to the market, buy some flowers for my home and admire my purple (of course) tulle skirt in the closet!

And speaking about dreams, I have another one: to visit Toulouse Lautrec Museum in Albi, Southern France, that was recently retraced and guests over 1000 works, pictures, lithographs, drawings, preparatory studies, including all 31 posters of the artist.

Do you have a dream town, city or place that you would really like to visit? I wish you a wonderful day and don’t forget: a girl is allowed to dream, wink!

À la campagne…

Happy Wednesday! I could not help myself and decided to share another pink and purple post! But this time is more about how I would like my Easter table and surroundings to look like, not about clothes!

I could never imagine that an old vase would look so great when you choose the right flowers for it. Also, I have a crush on those vintage gaslights and on everything that has the same shape, so, of course, this table  draw my attention, it is so splendid even if the most important accessorize are the flowers and their colors. You know what I like even more? The simplicity of these beautiful places and the fact that one little accessorize can completely transform the place like those pink petals in the old fountain.

And last but not least, the dessert for Easter: I decided to bake my first carrot cake. After a decade, wink, of cheesecake, this year I want something else and the carrot cake seamed like the best choice. Don’t you think so?

Laziness

I “bumped” into this editorial with Mila and I realized that it describes so well what I need:  some lazy  and sunny days in the mountains and no deadlines attached! Of course I’ll take my lace items and leggings with me! Not such a good idea, hmmm?!

I hope you miss me last week, I am sorry, but I had to prepare my future: some applications, cover letters, you know, wink! And I felt that I have to give the best of me, so my blog suffered a little, but I am back now! What’s new? I know that some of us have already celebrated the Easter, well,  I hope you had some fabulous and sunny days with your dearest ones!

With my last week activity, I realized I have no clue what I am going to cook on Friday except for a yammy cheesecake! Maybe you can come with some special recipes, please?

But I know for sure what I am going to wear! As you can see, I am an incredible awesome housekeeper! I had some time for shopping, you caught me! And I have also attended a vintage fair last weekend where I have discovered some young girls, fashion designers. I really liked their unique handmade clothes and I am going to share with you some of my favorites: La Chatterie (here I found a lovely pink t-shirt, very soft and that can be worn in the office, but also on a casual day, but there are also other items on her website) and Fe[Male]  (a lovely backless silk green blouse rapidly became my choice, but they have some other great and interesting items).
