Role models

Up till now, I had two role models, two women who's clothing style I love and I some times try to imitate. Those two are Agyness Deyn 

and Kate Lanphear

But just now I found a new one, a 92 year old lady named Iris Apfel, which at her age demonstrates she can be more interesting than a 25 year old person. 
Of course she is a bit of an excentric, that's why I like her so much.

(PS: I think I have a little crush over light colored short haired androgen look women )

Flipster

Let's welcome a new clothing site in Romania, one where you can exchange your clothes with others, called Flipster.
I relay like the idea and I hope to use it soon, it sure comes in handy to freshen up your old wardrobe. Everyone of us should do this from time to time so what better alternative than this.
Have a look, they already have some pretty things to be exchanged and they are expecting new users. Of course you will also find them on Facebook

The casting and the snow

You may wonder what the casting and the snow have in common...well both things took place today.
I woke up, devastated my closet and picked up an outfit, something kind of suited for the weather and of course something that screams ME. I did not go with colors (even if I am much like a rainbow) because of the grey clouds (rain clouds I hoped). The meeting went well, hopefully I'll be one of the 45 selected girls (I must be considering my "exotic" look)

About the second one, well we had the first snow today and I can't say I was happy about it (I was wearing snickers and a leather jacket so I was caught off guard) but I survived.

Now let there be snow and fingers crossed for the TV show!

Regina cumparaturilor (Shopping Queen)

Well I'll be damned! I've just been selected at a casting for a TV show called Regina cumparaturilor (Shopping Queen).
The theme is of course shopping and fashion and I sure hope to be selected. I'm not keen on becoming a "TV star" but I do love fashion and all related to it, so let's see how it goes.
With this in mind, I decided to make a list with the MUSH HAVEs in a wardrobe. I checked the lists on other sites/blogs, I've added my preferences and here's my personal selection. You can use it for perfecting your wardrobe (I still have to work a bit here and there on mine)

Close to Christmas

Here's a new DIY I tried, this one has nothing to do with my wardrobe, only with all the time I have to fill in and the little things I do.
It's a small Christmas tree made of carton, paper and pompoms (done by me also) and it took me about 3 days to finish. The harder part was filling the cone with the green paper, cutting it, shaping it and sticking it. Once that was done, I started with building the yarn pompoms and adding them on top of my tree.
And here is the result (with and without the pompoms)

Two more

As I promised, I made some more infinity scarves, 2 more. I used some thread I had around the house but for the next one I'm gonna buy some chunkier material, to make them even more impressive.
So here they are, a grey one and a red & white one (for the so close holidays)

In the meantime, I'm working on a little something very Christmasy (this time a little decoration, but it's taking longer than I expected)

Infinity scarf

I've been trying to fill in all this time that I have so I've had some DIY attempts. I think this is the best so far, a hand made Infinity scarf, knitted with only some chunky thread and my arms.
I'm already planning to make myself a collection of these and maybe also for others
So here's the result, hope you'll enjoy it.

Sweater generator

I've stumbled over a Coke Zero application where you can create your own winter sweater design and of course I've entered the competition (I can't help myself).
If you want to give a helping hand, please VOTE for it, and also make your own

Job hunting

Yesterday I've been to a job interview with Oracle (I did mention I am job hunting). I had some expectations but to be honest I'm not sure if it went well...we shall see, early next week I should have an answer on that.

But as a serious girl that I am, here's what I wear 

The leaves start wispering

I still have a lot of time to kill, job hunting isn't easy at all, even with 10 years of experience. But hey, I don't stop, I never give up and something good has got to come out of this...at some point.
Till then, I'm filling in my time with visits, yesterday I visited my girl Alinuta N. She's pregnant and in one moth tops we'll have a new friend around, her son. And every visit comes with cookies and popcorn, hopefully this will not do much damage to our shape.
And with all this time on my hands, I'm becoming active on Lookbook, which by the way it seams a bit hard to use (I already had 2 looks removed)...or maybe my mind is somewhere else (I tend to go with the second option). so yeah, I'm posting on Lookbook some of the looks that you'll see here, on the blog.
