X-mas gift ideas: dad

En: By far the most challenging and usually the most last minute when it comes to Christmas presents is my dad.I believe that, generally, it is harder to buy male gifts if you are a girl, but with my dad it's almost impossible.So I don't know if you have the same problem, but just in case you do, I put together a list of things I offered him throughout the years and he almost loved!

 Ro: Chiar daca in general, cumparatul cadourilor pentru cei dragi e o sarcina usoara, exista o exceptie: tata.Pentru el e aproape imposibil sa gasesc ceva potrivit si e de obicei cadoul pe care il cumpar in ultimul moment, in timp ca ma rog fierbinte sa ii placa macar putin!Asa ca am incercat sa alcatuiesc o lista cu lucruri pe care i le-am cumparat de-a lungul anilor (sau pe care vreau sa i le cumpar pe viitor) si sper sa ii fie de folos cui mai e in situatia mea.
1.Hugo Boss bathrobe (halat de baie Hugo Boss)
2.Old Navy Men's striped sweater (pulover in dungi Old Navy)
3.Uniqlo wool cap (sapca de lana Uniqlo)
4.Logitech universal remote control (telecomanda universala Logitech)
5.JackJones west scarf (esarfa lana JackJones)
6.Silver glitter tie (cravata argintie metalica)
7.24 bottle wine rack (suport pentru 24 sticle de vin)
8.Silver plated black cuff links (butoni placati cu argint)
9.Hugo Boss cologne (parfum Hugo Boss)
10.Hugo Boss after shave balm (after shave balsam Hugo Boss)
11.Planet Earth DVD complete series (seria completa "Planeta Pamant" DVD)
12.Leather strap Casio watch (ceas Casio cu curea de piele)

X-mas gift ideas: sister/BFF

En: Since there are a few days left and I bet there's more than one late Christmas shopper, here's a few suggestions for (girl)friends or sisters or any young female you might have to find a gift for!

 Ro: Nimic nu imi place mai mult decat zilele de dinaintea Craciunului, cand facem ultimele cumparaturi pentru cei dragi( a se citi: ne dam seama ca trebuie sa cumparam CEVA! ACUM!) si e un amestec de neliniste si entuziasm care ma incanta.Stiu ca suntem mai multi in situatia asta asa ca am incercat sa alcatuiesc o lista de cadouri pentru surori, prietene sau orice alta persoana tanara de sex feminin pentru care trebuie cumparat un cadou...

1.Grey leather baseball cap (sapca de piele gri)
2.Navy sleeveless contrast feather dress (rochie cu pene)
3.Leopard print face jumper ( pulover imprimeu leopard)
4.Satin pijama (pijama de satin cu maneca lunga)
5.Charmed friendship bracelet (bratara impletita)
6.Glitter nailpolish (oja stralucitoare)
7.Eye sleeping mask (masca de dormit)
8.Nina Ricci fragrance (parfum Nina Ricci)
9.Jewellery hanging tree (copacel de agatat bijuterii)
10.Glitter ballet flats ( balerini stralucitori)
11.Holographic clutch (geanta plic holografica)
12.Chiffon bow barrette (agrafa de par fundita)

Snow walk

.
En: There's these two things I love about winter: the holidays and snowboarding.Okay, and maybe seeing the snowfall from inside my warm home or waking up to an all white scene without having to leave the house.This last part is extremely important, I love to look at winter, I just hate to live the cold!But today, the temperature was bearable and I was finally able to take my not-exactly as warm-as-i-expected-it coat for a walk in the park!And winter felt right!

Ro: Iarna nu este anotimpul meu preferat.Iubesc sarbatorile de iarna si sa ma dau cu snowboardul, asa ca o tolerez.Imi place si sa vad prima ninsoare(sau a mia) si sa ma trezesc in fata unui peisaj cu totul alb daca il vad din interiorul apartamentului meu calduros.Este esential sa-l vad dinauntru pentru ca pe cat ador sa ma uit la iarna, pe atat urasc sa-i simt frigul!Dar azi, temperatura a fost suportabila si am reusit sa imi iau paltonul nou(care e mai primavaratic decat m-as fi asteptat cand l-am comandat) la o plimbare.Imi place la nebunie cum arata cu colantii mei de super-erou(asa i-au botezat colegii de facultate)!

X-mas gift ideas: brother/boyfriend

En: Buying presents for my boyfriend or my brother(especially the bf) is another favorite part of the winter holidays since I know a lot of things he wants(I always have a list inside my head with all the things he mentioned).So, all I need to do is check items on his wishlist!I'm starting to believe that the key to buying great presents is communication.Getting to know someone's taste and wishes makes for the best gift buying!

 Ro: Imi place si imi vine destul de usor sa ii cumpar cadouri iubitului( si fratelui meu mai mic, dar el e usor de multumit cu vreun joc pentru wii si o punga de Haribo deci nu e o reala provocare).Cred ca asta provine din faptul ca ciulesc urechile de cate ori spune ca si-ar dori ceva si apoi incerc sa ii daruiesc exact ce mi-a spus el ca vrea( nestiind cat sunt de atenta si cum voi folosi informatia).Tind sa cred ca cheia pentru cadoul potrivit e comunicarea.Daca ajungi sa cunosti persoana de langa tine, sa ii stii gusturile si dorintele, nu ai cum sa dai gres!
1.Obey throwback cap( sapca Obey )
2.Vintage canvas explorer shoulder bag( geanta de umar )
3.Volcom thermal( pulover Volcom )
4.New Look jumper( pulover alb si negru New Look )

X-mas gift ideas: mom

En: I don't know about you, but for me, buying gifts for my mom is the easiest of all.It may be because we know each other so well or because she is not shy when it comes to communicating what she likes, but my head is always full with present ideas for her.So I figured it would be appropriate to start this Christmas gift ideas series with mothers.I know this kind of posts are all over the blogging world, but seriously, can you ever get too many present suggestions?

Ro: Nu stiu altii cum sunt, dar eu cand ma gandesc la cadouri de Craciun, capul mi-e plin cu idei de daruri pentru mama.Poate pentru ca suntem apropiate sau poate pentru ca spune clar ce ii place si ce nu sau poate e doar o chestie feminina(femeile au intotdeauna idei de cadouri pentru alte femei).Oricare ar fi motivul, m-am hotarat sa incep seria de idei de cadouri de Craciun cu mamele!Si da, stiu ca pe multe bloguri circula postari asemanatoare, dar poti sa primesti vreodata prea multe sugestii cand vine vorba de asa ceva?

Wannabe Wednesday: Esther Adams

En: It's time for this week's It girl and this time it's in the person of Esther Adams, fashion writer for Vogue and self-proclaimed supporter of young designers.This girl is the ultimate urban ballerina, mixing feminine pieces with edgier accesories and rocking the bangs!

Ro: A venit si vremea pentru inspiratia acestei saptamani, in persoana lui Esther Adams, care isi poarta tinutele ultra chic la biroul Vogue.I se potriveste perfect termenul de balerina urbana si aproape ma face sa vreau din nou si eu breton!

I love it that she believes that as long as the quality of the material is good, you can find great pieces for less.Therefore, here she is in a H&M top and 18-th Amendment jeans, worn with a Zara blazer and Dooney and Bourke satchel.As for jewellery, her wedding ring is the Dior "oui" and she paired it with an Aurelie Bidermann and is wearing her Valextra ipad case for a pop of color:

Her lovely Club Monaco skirt has a girly frill, so she decided to pair it with simpler basics, such as this Helmut Lang tee, a Surface to Air clutch and Preen for Topshop heels worn with norwegian With&Wessel socks.Her Philip Crangi nail cuff is to die for!

Black and white never go out of style, especially if it means wearing a white Club Monaco dress with black Theyskens' Theory wedges, an Alexander Wang leather vest and a black suede Pucci bag:

Grey simplicity

En: I'm finally back to blogging after a week's absence and it seemed much longer(like forever), I can't believe how used I've got to this!The stress of exams kept me away from my beloved computer but now all is well and I'm back to doing what I want! And what I want for today, is to share a photo of how I'd like to dress these days(while the temperatures still allow it)!I am not mastering minimalism as well as I'd like but I sure love it in others so my goal for the upcoming months is to create my own efortlessly cool outfits, like this lovely lady that looks stunning in a simple gray knit dress...

 Ro: Absenta mea indelungata(o saptamana care a parut o vesnicie)a luat sfarsit!Nu pot sa cred cat de mult mi-a lipsit blogul saptamana care a trecut, dar stresul examenelor m-a tinut departe!Acum ca toate s-au terminat cu bine si sunt cu un pas mai aproape de a fi doctor :D, sunt incantata sa ma intorc la ce vreau sa fac.Si ce vreau acum e sa v-o arat pe aceasta domnisoara, care ma face sa imi cumpar un dulap de rochii gri si sa le port cu jachete de piele.O tinuta atat de simpla si totusi atat de placuta privirii, e exact ce imi doresc sa obtin in viitor!
