the Crazy Cat Lady

It's been a while now since everybody noticed cats invading the internet. No secret here. No secret that fashion people are absolutely going crazy about cats and NO SECRET in the fact that I am going to become a crazy-cat-lady (maybe the Redhead will join me...actually, pretty sure about that)

Even so, I like to believe that petting a cat a day, keeps the doctor away! They are better then therapy and when you pet a cat while eating nutella, well...that's just haven my friend!

As a future CCL (Crazy-Cat-Lady!!!) I have my obsessions when it comes to my 2 pets (2 Russian Blue cats, Mitzi and Boris) and also to cats in general. Just take a look at my Instagram album!
Cat, over cats, over cats...and then some more cats. I work all day, and sometimes even nights, but still...the only think I seem capable of snapping a picture of, is a cat (or two...)

maybe I'll be a fashionable CCL...

Crazy as it may seem, the cat-mania is here and it will stay for a long time.
If you are looking for someone to blame for that, I give you: the fashion world!!!
All designers have a soft spot when it comes to cats and I think it's mostly because of the way a feline acts. I too see great inspiration in the way cats look, walk, sleep. No wander one of the most popular words in fashion involves cats: catwalk!!!
Just so we can miau-miau all the way to a greater style!

Now, I like cats and I like fashion...why wouldn't I love cat-inspired fashion?!
I don't simply like a blouse with a cat on it! Even if this one...oh...I don't even know what to say...it's sooo bad, that I love it!!!
Mostly I like to be catty when it comes to the accessories. And if they get to be a little naughty, well...all for the better!

As The Aristocats said: Everybody wants to be a CAT!
And whom am I, to disagree?!? :)) Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at ;)

the New Coat Rack

Ohhh, I've been dreaming about this coat rack ever since I can remember! And I do mean THIS one! :))

My mom had it from my grandmother and she had it from her sister I think. I don't really know for sure, but what I know is that age doesn't really matter when it comes to the 'Golden Ghost' -as I like to call it! :)))
I simply love it for how it looks and I wouldn't care if it were brand new! Love knows no age, right?

Finally, my parents gave it to me and I couldn't be happier. I keep thinking that because he is the 'Golden Ghost', dresses that I will hang on it will simply fly off the rack :))) But, then again, I am pretty crazy...

So, do you love it? :D

J'amais, by Rada Ureche

By now, those of you that fallow my activity, know about my collaboration with Rada Ureche, the designer behind the jewellery brand J'amais. We've worked together on 2 collection (Missy Messy Roots and Read Between the Lines) and now we are preparing the third one!

I can only say 2 things about all this: I love working with her and I love her work. And I think that summons it all up. Don't you agree? Below you can see some of her work, but for more, be sure to check out the J'amais site. Believe me, you're going to fall in love with loads of stuff!
My favorite pieces? A necklace, the shoulder chain (looove it! Such a bad-ass piece!) + a few pairs of earring and much much more! I'm an addict when it comes to her work :)))

But I should stop here and let you see for yourself. As a final note: the prices are more the flattering! ;)

Another Day...

...more events!

Oh, the month of December is one of the hardest and most beautiful ones. So much work to do, so many clients, plus other events (tv shows, radio shows, shootings and so on). But I'm not complaining! Love it!!!

Today I was on the set on a tv morning show, right here in Arad. Together with me were Ioana Predescu (make-up artist) and Bianca Pilan (hair stylist) and we talked about outfits, hairstyles and make-up for special events, like the up-coming New Year Party! Yuu-huuu!

So, what do we think it's hot right now? Well, we all agreed that girls should take into consideration where the event takes place. Other then that, they can start building an outfit starting from the hair, the make-up, the shoes, the jewellery or (as we often do) the dress/outfit.

My advice:

Wear something crazy!
Something you wanted to wear all year long, but didn't really had the opportunity to. Now it's the perfect time to do it!
+remember to kiss a man at midnight! ;)))

This is what I wore today!

the blouse: Missy Messy Roots a/w Collection
the skirt: I made from the leftover fabric from my loved one everyday jacket (I'll show you ass soon as he lets me take some pictures of him wearing it)
the necklace: is from Jamais by Rada Ureche.

That's about it for today! Kisses!
*sorry about the blurry face...I just didn't have time for more photos.

Stepping on Cartoons!

Well, here we have a collaboration on my taste! ;))
And that's no surprise, is it? There are cartoons, colors, shoes and fashion. There's nothing else I want (maybe more of all that?! yes...could be).

So, what do we have here? It's an installation created by designer Minna Parikka and artist Jani Leinonen, for the current exhibition Boutique: Where Art Meets Fashion, at Amos Anderson Gallery, in Helsinki. The result is absolutely fantastic and popping-cool! As a plus, they created 3 unique art/shoes, each numbered, signed and in a series of 25.

I don't know if you are familiar with Jani Leinonen's work. No stress, if you're not, we'll have a post on this pretty soon. Because I'm a super big-fan of this pop culture obsessive whose immersive installations toy are full of hidden messages. All this behind the friendly faces of big-brand iconography.
Creepy fun it is and I love it!So, enjoy the images and if you are in Helsinki or will be in the near future, keep in mind this: This is running – as an official event of Helsinki World Design Capital Year – until 12th November, there’s plenty of time left yet to catch the duo’s retina-popping installation.

Ride the Pegas!

Everybody is extremely excited in Romania!
PEGAS is back!!!

As you can see from the images, PEGAS is a bicycle. But not just any bicycle! It's an image of our childhood! All my friends had one when they were kids and so did I! And the connection between a child and his/hers bicycle simply cannot be broken!

I don't ride anymore. I'm not even sure I remember how to do it...but you know what they say 'Easy as riding a bicycle!'...so I'm hoping! Because I really really REALLY want one!!!

Of course, this comeback is with a new look, just perfect for the urban life. But believe me, when one is talking about PEGAS, it's all about the little flying horse! I guess it's something like wanting to have the cool jaguar on the hood of your car (uh...me, I hate the new flatted image they got going on right now...but that's another story).

So, hopefully you're feeling me in my love for PEGAS! And...maybe one of these days I'll get one! +lots and lots of pictures with it!!!Images: Bicicletele Pegas

The hot-cotton-candy of a Sunset

Last week (or was it the week before that?!). Not sure, I'm loosing track of time lately...:( No matter! A while ago, Bia asked me to help her (provide the outfits and advice) with a little photoshoot for her portfolio. You must know Bia!!! She the amazing hairstylist that's been helping me!

Back to the story (going crazy over here...it's true! If one stops posting for a long time, when they start again it just isn't the same!). I helped with 2 shootings (this one and another that you'll see soon...I HOPE!!!) and I simply had an amazing time!
The hair was great, the make-up was simply out of this world (by the lovely Monica Popmark), the photographers were eager to snap!snap! and the girls were so much fun!

Now, there was a little problem. This shooting took place on top of a hotel in Arad. Yep...and (of course) I'm afraid of heights!!! But not the models...they were running around in high heels and long-super-sized dresses, like they were at ground level. No stress... It killed me.
I was like a mom up-there 'Sweetie, please come closer! Stop standing there! Let me hold you foot...or something!!!' Yep...and they laughed and laughed...I'm getting old! :(

But I would do it any single day!!!photo: Maria Cristiana

Knotted&Dotted ss2012

the Lookbook

After a hard and cold winter, we all need the worm touch of summer. The light fabrics on our skin, the colors making us glow, the soft knots barely keeping our clothes together...the need of freedom!

Is it a dream?
Is it reality?

Or is it just a crazy-colorful place in between?

A Pastel Pixie Shoe

Here we have the Pixie Shoes spring-summer 2012 collection. Yep, pastel-yummy-gummy colors for delicious girls! Super-high heals (yes yes, please, I want), everyday heals, or no heal at all (wow...I really like those gray ones).

Basically, there is something for every for, shape or size of legs! Pixie Shoes has you back for the warm season...or should I say legs?! Uh...does it matter?! At the end of the day all I know is that I want to dress in neon colors and walk in pastel shoes! Fore me, this summer, there's no other better combination!

In the end...

Enter the world of sorbet colored stories, with beautiful, courageous, wise, ironical but mostly extremely stylish female heroes…
