Wannabe Wednesday: Alexandra Cronan

En: Vogue's Fashion Assistant, Alexandra Cronan is this week's inspiration and I am completely in love with her bohemian style and her vintage + outlet+ more vintage wardrobe. She sure reinstates that being well dress is more a matter of style than it is a matter of money.
Ro: Alexandra Cronan e fashion assistant la Vogue si m-am indragostit de stilul ei ultra feminin si natural. Cu o garderoba alcatuita mai ales din piese vintage + cateva achizitii de prin outleturi, ne demonstreaza ca a fi bine imbracat e o chestiune de stil, nu de buget. Chiar si daca lucrezi la Vogue!

Her most stunning outfit constists of a shearling jacket from Ritual Vintage, vintage Reformation dress, Celine shoes, Jerome Dreyfuss bag and Eugenia Kim hat/
Tinuta mea preferata e alcatuita dintr-o jacheta si o rochie vintage, pantofi Celine, geanta Jerome Dreyfuss si palarie Eugenia Kim:

Another everyday look, but elevated with a colorful vintage kimono, Marks& Spencer striped top, Acne Studios jeans, Aquazurra shoes and the Kooples bag, topped off with Rag & Bone sunglasses/
Un alt outfit de zi cu zi, dar care iese in evidenta prin kimono-ul vintage pe care l-a asortat unui top in dungi Marks & Spencer, jeansi Acne Studios, pantofi Aquazurra si geanta The Kooples. Ochelarii de soare Rag & Bone sunt cireasa de pe tort:

Run and Buy: The Slip Dress

strappy_dress_zara_liakw_blog_2

En: Zara has me totally sold on a slip dress. After seing the above image, I started searching everywhere like crazy. And, luckily, it paid off yesterday, in a thrift store. The one I found needs altering (as it is long and plain and I want it short, with lace at the bottom) and it was meant as a sleeping gown, but it has the perfectly thin, silky, spaghetti straps and just the right vibe. I'm dying to have it ready and wear it under a black trench coat. So, if you're on the hunt for one too, check out as many thrift shops as possible. But in case you're an online shooper kind of girl, I made a little selection below.

Ro: Zara m-a convins ca am nevoie de o rochie ca cele de mai sus. Si am cautat una in disperare in ultimele saptamani. Ieri, am fost norocoasa si am gasit o rochie neagra intr-un second hand (de fapt e un fel de camasa de noapte) si desi are nevoie de modificari (e lunga si as vrea sa o scurtez si sa ii adaug dantela in partea de jos), bretelutele subtiri si satinul fin o fac extrem de potrivita pentru toamna asta. Mor de nerabdare sa o port sub un trenci si daca v-a innebunit si pe voi trendul asta, va recomand cu caldura SHurile. Sau, daca va place sa cumparati online, am alcatuit mai jos un colaj cu sugestii.

Wish I Was Wearing: The Slip Dress

                                                                      Image via www.collagevintage.com

En: I love everything about this look: the pink cardigan, the slip dress, the lace up sandals and, especially, how it all comes together. I tried to recreate the look below but if you're searching for a slip dress, I highly recommend thrift shop hunting as an alternative. That's where I got mine (I believe it used to be a nightgown) and now I'm searching for the perfect lace strip to add at the bottom. As soon as it's done, I'm gonna be rocking a version of the above look!

Ro: Imi place tot la tinuta asta: cardiganul roz, rochia delicata, sandalele cu siret si, mai ales, felul in care se imbina toate. Am incercat sa o recreez mai jos, dar daca sunteti in cautare de o rochita similara, va recomand o raita prin magazinele second hand si... multa rabdare. Eu acolo am dat peste una (care cred ca era folosita ca si camasa de noapte), iar acum incerc sa gasesc si o banda de dantela pe care sa o adaug. De indata ce e gata, urmeaza si poze cu o versiune proprie a lookului de mai sus!

Run and Buy: Cut Out Boots

Clipboard-balenciaga-boots

En: I know you've seen these Balenciaga cut out boots everywhere lately. And I know you've seen plenty of similar high end versions. Personally, I cannot even fantasize about the real deal (the price tag being a major issue), but I did try to find pretty and affordable versions and I hope you enjoy them.

Ro: Stiu ca botinele astea decupate de la Balenciaga au fost peste tot in ultima vreme.Si stiu si ca ati vazut si cateva versiuni mai accesibile prin magazinele high street. Si desi as putea sa visez la o perecehe de Balenciaga (si pretul mi-ar da cosmaruri), mi s-a parut mai util sa caut cateva versiuni similare si mult mai rezonabile ca pret. Sper sa va fie utile likurile de mai jos!

Waiting for a Train?

DSC_0026 (19)


En: I am a firm believer in the necessity of altering clothes. Whether it's because they don't fit exactly (particularly clothes purchased online) or you want to add an extra something, a good tailor can definitely improve anything. Take the maxi skirt in case (from Missguided), which was a little too simple for my taste, so I've decided to add the metallic zipper. I feel like it makes quite the difference but I'd love to hear your thoughts?
P.S: I've been dreaming of taking pictures in a setting like this for a while so I'm super excited about sharing them!

Ro: Nu, nu asteptam niciun tren. Dar sunt incantata de locul unde am facut fotografiile (pentru ca imi doream de ceva vreme un astfel de background) si mi se pare si ca tinuta aleasa se incadreaza perfect in decor, mai ales ca am luat fusta asta de la Missguided si i-am adaugat un fermoar metalic (caci era cam prea simpla pentru gustul meu) si nu puteam sa o port decat cu botinele cu tinte, iar ochelarii si rujul visiniu sunt singurele pete de culoare. Sper ca va place la fel de mult ca mie rezultatul!

Black panther

.


En: I've been desperately searching for some sort of animal face top and I only realized this was the one after I left the store.Then after about a week of haunted dreams I decided to go back only not to find it anymore.Luckily, the lovely ladies working there looked for it somewhere in the back and after 20 minutes of waiting anxiously I had it in my hands and didn't hesitate to bring it home anymore.On the other hand, this is a coat I got during the sales without any hesitation (for 30 euros) and proved really practical as it goes with everything.The only problem is I am sick with this winter cold and I'm dreaming of leather and jeans jackets.Spring, please come to us, already!

Ro: Dupa indelungi cautari, am gasit in sfarsit bluza asta cu capul ( mai mult coltii ) de pantera si din prea multa nehotarare am lasat-o in magazin.Si cand m-am intors nu mai era.Dupa vreo 5 minute de cautari disperate, am hotarat sa le intreb pe vanzatoare despre ea si dupa inca vreo 20 de asteptare si ingrijorare, s-au intors victorioase.Si de data asta, am alergat spre casa de marcat ca sa nu mai am timp de razgandire.Pe de alta parte, paltonul din pozele astea, l-am luat fara urma de indoiala (la reduceri, cu 100 de ron) si s-a dovedit extrem de util.Singura problema e ca acum vreau sa port jachete subtirele de piele sau trenciuri colorate...unde esti tu, primavara?

Best of SS14 Fashion Week Streetstyle

PFW-Street-3-5_143226424015

En: Unlike other times, this year I was not trying to keep up with Fashion Week from home, but I've let images and inspiration accumulate and only browsed through it a few days ago. The overdose lead to a an enormous pile of ideas for a wardrobe rejuvenation, such as: 1, buy a red sweater (and wear it with white); 2. find a scarf to wear with a maxi dress; 3. pair a black suit with Converse sneakers; 4. mix plaid and stripes, etc. So, in order for me not to forget about these amazing ideas, I created this post with my favorite streetstyle photos and I do hope they speak to you, like they spoke to me!

Ro: Spre deosebire de alti ani, anum acesta n-am mai incercat sa tin pasul cu Saptamana Modei de acasa, ci am lasat fotografiile sa se adune. Acum cateva zile am dat iama prin ele si supradoza de inspiratia m-a determinat sa alcatuiesc o mica postare cu tinutele mele preferate (pe care mi-as dori sa le recreez intr-un fel sau altul cu piese din propria-mi garderoba). Printre ideile sclipitoare se numara: 1. sa cumpar un pulover rosu (musai purtat cu alb); 2. sa gasesc o esarfa potrivita pentru rochia mea maxi; 3. sa imi port costumul negru cu  Conversi; 4. sa amestec dungi cu impriemul tartan...si multe, multe altele pe care sper sa le tin minte.Si mai sper sa va gasiti si voi inspiratia in imaginile astea!

Interior: Cozy Blankets

blanket

En: Man, I was really hoping I'd have an outfit post by now. But the horrible weather and my boyfriend's hectic schedule didn't allow it this week.So, instead, I'll leave you with some nice, cozy home interior pics. Since it's freezing outside, I'm obsessed with warm, colorful blakets. I love how they look thrown around the home and I sure love how they feel!

Ro: Chiar speram la un outfit post pe azi. Dar cum afara e potop si iubitul meu (responsabil de poze) are un program infernal, m-am gandit sa postez niste fotografii de design interior pe care le-am adunat pe pinterest, in schimb. Si cum frigul de afara ma face sa ma gandesc doar la ceaiuri calde si paturi si mai calde, va las cu niste imagini care vorbesc de la sine!
