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
