Where Is The Beauty?

* 1950s fashion ad

I just saw this ad in one of my fashion books.
So, really now! Where is the beauty?
The old-school beauty?
The kind of beauty that makes you turn your head on the street, no matter if male or female!

...I'm missing (and I'm sure so are you) the classic beauty!

One Day....

Say "HELLO!" to MAUDE & TILDA!

Nothing fancy, but 100% Eco-friendly bags...with really fancy texts printed on them. Now, I don't know about you, but I really enjoy these type of bags (I think I have about 5 of them, with different messages). And now, now I want one from MAUDE & TILDA!!! Plsss!!! Christmas time and all...so?...

No comment? Ok...I guess I'll just get one by myself! :) Even so, I hope you will consider changing your plastic bags with Eco-friendly ones. And while doing so, why not go for something "fashion-related"? :))

This is the one that I love! ;)) How perfect is it?
I couldn't had said it better myself. Because we all hope one day to to such a reckless thing! It's a bag, it's so expensive...but we all want one! And to get it by ourselves ... well, that would be fantastic!

One day...

From: MAUDE & TILDA

Happy December 1st!

Happy Happy December 1st!!!

In Romania, that's the National Day! Free day, Friends Day, Eating Day, Sleeping Day, Watching Movies Day, Laughing Day, Smiling Day...Our Day! Romania's Day!

We decided to use the national flag for a dress (no cuts or anything, just draped on the mannequin). Just as a way to celebrate, at the atelier, this day...even if we are not there right now...free time!!! :)

Enjoy this day! Kisses!Images: theFword

Drinks and Talk

Starting today, we have a new talking/discussing/drinking tea/wine/coffee corner at Atelier Arina Varga!!! A place to dream new designs, to come up with new ideas...

The table and chairs are a gift from my from my 85 year old grandmother. They are from the early 1900, made in Austria...and I just love them. Also, I got the lamp from the most amazing antique store in Arad, that has become one of my favorite places to shop at (more stuff from them, soon)!

So, here is the place were we'll talk from now on! Be sure to visit Atelier Arina Varga for a cup/glass of daily fashion! ;)

Let's Eat!

Dinner for 2!
Lunch for 2!
2 for 2!
When a "2" is involved, it's always sexual! Not only in preparing the food with your own body, but in eating the food also. A "2" is a "2", no matter what!

A Great Sale!!!

The We Love Couture has organized a great sale for you!

With the occasion of Romania's National Day (December 1st), all items in the colors RED, YELLOW and BLUE will have a -22% sale! Better start shopping while it lasts (29/11-4/12).

I have 2 designs taking part at this sale. A dress (was:324lei, now:253lei) and a shirt (was:161lei, now:126lei). That's a pretty good deal if you ask me...:)Images: We Love Couture

My Donation

For the RFB event I am donating this dress (size M).

It's part of the aw 2011/2012 collection - All Along the Watchtower - and I think it's just perfect for office parties, Christmas...well, for all the Merry season approaching!

As a plus, the full-length zipper in the back is sure to be a hit! A little sassy, but that's ok sometimes, right? :))Now all you have to do, is visit the event: Creezi sau Donezi (Create or Donate)!!! Enjoy!

Creezi sau Donezi?

Create or Donate?

This is a project by RFB (Romanian Fashion Bloggers)
It is a creative party that will focus on charity (all the money will be donated).
So, you can come there to create, to donate, or to buy something fantastic for yourself (designers, me included, are donating different creations for this event).

RFB, Romexpo si Club 4×4 Romania te invita in perioada 1 – 4 decembrie 2011 la “Creezi sau Donezi? Iarna 2011”, o petrecere creativa organizata in scop caritabil in cadrul targului CBS – Targ de Cadouri de Craciun, Decoratiuni si Suveniruri.

Fondurile obtinute in urma acestui eveniment caritabil vor fi folosite pentru a ajuta 50 de copii, prescolari de la gradinita din Grosani – Slanic Prahova in cadrul campaniei umanitare organizate de Club 4×4 Romania. Mai multe detalii despre campania umanitara pe club4×4romania.ro.

Esti invitat sa creezi si sa donezi, in scop caritabil si intr-un mod inedit, intr-una din zonele spatiului in care se va desfasura cea de-a IV-a editie “Creezi sau Donezi?”.

Zona de creatie – Zona din care alegi din accesoriile si ustensilele disponibile, ce doresti si ce te inspira si iti creezi singur un glob pentru pomul de Craciun al socrilor, o felicitare pentru bunica, o brosa pentru prietena cea mai buna sau un inel de logodna pentru iubita. Lasi in schimb in cosul de donatii o bancnota pentru copii prescolari de la gradinita din Grosani. Cu bancnota de la tine vom cumpara copiilor creioane colorate si acuarele, sa poata si ei oferi bunicilor o felicitare, fratilor mai mici bomboane colorate … de Craciun.

Zona de donatie – Piesele expuse vor fi donate de membrii RFB, bloggeri, prieteni, artisti si designeri. Iti alegi o piesa vestimentara sau un accesoriu pe plac sau pentru familie, rude si prieteni. Lasi in schimb in cosul de donatii o bancnota pentru copii prescolari de la gradinita din Grosani. Cu bancnota de la tine le vom cumpara un fular, o caciulita de lana sau manusi … sa le fie cald de Craciun.

Accesoriile si ustensilele necesare pentru eveniment sunt donate de membrii RFB si membrii Clubului 4×4 Romania. Designeri romani consacrati si membrii RFB precum Agata Secelean, Diana Bobar, Josephine sau Ludmila Corlateanu vor dona piese din colectiile lor, piese ce vor expuse in zona de donatie.

“Creezi sau Donezi?” se afla la a IV-a editie. Este incercarea noastra, a membrilor RFB, de a oferi un cadou de Craciun celor dragi si copiilor. Ne aflam la a doua colaborare cu Clubul 4×4 Romania, club care organizeaza in fiecare an, de Craciun, o actiune umanitara pentru copii. Ne folosim de creativitate, moda si 4×4 pentru a aduce zambetul pe chipul ingeresc al unui copil. Sunt absolut sigura ca vom fi surprinsi de creativitatea si de darnicia bucurestenilor. Oricine poate dona de Craciun. Roxana Radu – fondator RFB.

“In fiecare an organizam cate doua actiuni cu caracter umanitar si ajutam acolo unde este nevoie. De cele mai multe ori, banii stransi se duc in locuri extrem de izolate, descoperite in expeditiile Clubului 4×4 Romania, unde nu este curent electric si cu acces imposibil pentru alte masini inafara de cele de teren”, Ligia Popescu – Club 4×4 Romania.

Te asteptam in perioada 1- 4 decembrie 2011 in Centrul Expozitional Romexpo, in pavilionul C2, intre orele 10 si 18, fie sa iti pui in valoare talentul creativ in scop caritabil, fie sa ajuti o cauza nobila, achizitionand accesorii de Craciun.

Prohibition Party

-opening of Atelier Arina Varga
I finally managed to give an opening party for the atelier! And it all went pretty good...I hope/guess. Friends!!! Was it fun for you? Because I for one, had a blast! :)))

The theme (we MUST always have a theme) was PROHIBITION...the '20s! With this post I just wanted to thank all my friends, that were here with me and for me, while making the Atelier happen! Not all of them were able to make it to the party (and I am very sorry for that, but happy...because this way I have a good reason to give another party). I love you all!!! And not all of them are in the pictures posted here. sorry, but there are enough images to make you feel the mood...

Now, in the picture below, you can see my Redhead. You can't see the color, but believe me, it's her! I put this picture so high-up, because I was her mother to see how pretty she looked (I hope all my friends moms read my blog, so that they can see how pretty their kids looked at my party).

ahhh...It was a great white night! :)Images: theFword
