Stay young!

Wow this video gave me goose bumps and I can honestly say I have tears in my eyes.

It is great how these women did not let age get to them. I love their styles and their optimism, I admire their love for fashion and I hope to grow old just like them. Old age is not a reason nor an excuse to abandon yourself. Keep your spirit young and keep looking more alive than ever. They can do it, I can do it and I bet you can also do it. It’s up to you to be young at any age and ignore your ID age. And guess what helps? Clothes, hair, make-up…appearance! You will not be “between 50 and death”, you will be flourishing if you keep your mind young.

“Young woman, you’ll be an old woman one day! Don’t worry about it! Don’t sweat it! Every era builds character! “
Old age is not autumn for these ladies, it is actually full crazy summer season! Let’s keep it forever summer in our minds, spirits, styles and wardrobes!

And discussing on how to keep yourself young, I suppose each person has their own “secrets”. I for one start with the way I feel, with a young spirit, refusing to let age rule my life.  My young mind guides my actions and helps me take the proper decisions for going on like this. What decisions am  I talking about? Well the ones about the way I look, cause of course the way we look shows our age. Now here are a few secretes about looking young:

-          Short hair makes you look younger. Of course you must be careful what hair style you pick. Go
for one that best represents your way of being, weather you are a rebel wearing weird short hair cuts or more of a classic with a cute bob hair cut. Color can also help but again you should be aware what you choose. Even grey short hair can make you look young, if you pick the right style (hair cut made by Mihai Stan)
-          Nails – well this is a chapter that I started loving about a year ago when I discovered Kitty Claws. I assume you heard many times that nails/hands are an important first impression, so of course you should always have clean, painted nails. But nails don’t have to be simple and dull; you can do so many things on nails that could truly state something about you. I never go for simple nails, that’s one of my cards
-          




Clothes – Always pick your size. Larger or smaller clothes can make
you look ridiculous. There may be some exceptions but you should have a really well developed sense of style to get a good combination. Keep an eye on trends, no matter your age. You can always adapt your style to the current trends, by just adding a modern item to a vintage wardrobe (pink vintage dress from StoSto)
-          Make up – Keep it simple, the more you add, the older you’ll look. Just add a foundation base, a bit of mascara and some blush and you will always look fresh.

-          And a bonus, keep on your side the right people. The ones that make you feel good about yourself, the ones that encourage you to be better.


I think that’s about it for today my bubbly bubbles! I had to share these thoughts with you, cause time won’t stop for nobody so we must be prepared.

Red&White



This sounds Christamsy, doesn’t it? You may wonder why Christmasy in May? Well with the weather we are having lately in Bucharest (and from what I hear, all over the world) you no longer understand what season is it.
Getting over the season and the cranky weather, white and read is a damn nice combination. The strong wild red tempered by the gentle, innocent white create quite a pleasant site for the eyes. And it can be worn both in winter AND summer, just be wear how you mix your items and the seasons (who would be crazy enough to wear white pants in December?) We already established that it sounds (and looks) Christmasy, wintery but the same combination can bring a marine look to your outfit (or in my case, a vintage one)
So yeah, I strongly recommend you “frost” your red clothes with some white and see what you will get out of this.
As for me, I picked a summery vintage look with a white pair of jeans and a white&red checkered top (plus my red hot lipstick that is not very obvious in this pic) and a more wintery one with a red dress “frosted” with a white shirt  with large sleeves (another vintage look item)

How about you my bubbly bubbles, do you dare to share your combination?

The (same) white shirt







Hello there my bubbly bubbles!
Now that I am back, let’s have a little talk about the essentials in your wardrobe. Remember what are the essentials? Did you manage to get them all? I have to be honest with you, for some reasons I don’t have everything on the list ( I almost never wear pumps; I’m replacing some flats with sandals or sinkers; I rarely wear those smart jackets and different other reasons) BUT I do have the most basic items and I’m working on the others.
And talking about the basic items, I picked for today the white shirt. It’s better to have more than one, of course, and make sure you have it in different styles: long sleeved, short sleeved, classic, “boyfriend”, large, tight, precious, sporty. And don’t concentrate only on shirts, expand your range also on t-shirts, cardigans, tops, halters and sweaters. White (just as black) can match any outfit and may save your day (or night).
As for me, I have a wide variety of white shirts but for today I picked a sleeveless one, with a wide collar, made out of linen (such a perfect material for the hot season). And when I say “today” I’m underestimating the moment, because I’m actually going to share with you outfits created throughout time with the same white shirt.

So here we go, embrace the white shirt and enjoy to the maximum!

Oh almost forgot, the black beads necklace and the silvery one with crystals are from Peaceful People Handmade Jewellery and I bet you noticed the ReMesh B&W envelope in one of the pictures.

ReMesh it

Guess who's coming back!Ready for this? I am here!
So yeah, where have I been? I have been changing my life, changing my job, changing home, this kind of small things in life.
My new job got me closer to the better things that are happening around us and we tend not to see them, let me introduce one of them: ReMesh - a brand born at the Ateliere fara Frontiere NGO. They are offering job opportunities for underprivileged people by recycling banners and creating fashionable items out of them. I bet you see all the good sides here, the social good, the environmental good and the fashion good we crave for. 
I encourage you to give it a try, I already have some items from them ( a colorful pouch and a B&W envelope) and I plan to get some more. 
You can pick from a wide variety: REcarry; REexercise; REorganize; REdecorate and REunite and each item is 100% unique, same as you. 
Easy to use, easy to carry, matching all kinds of tastes and fitting all type of occasions. Oh and you will never worry about dirtying it!
