I love Halloween! Not for the cheesy/slutty costumes or the candy (mmm, ok, the candy is definitely a plus), but for getting one day where I don't have to worry that people will give me strange looks for the way I dress. While others disguise themselves on this day, I reveal myself. And yes, I do also love the opportunity to replenish my stock of pumpkin-shaped candles (they're first on the buy list this year).
At the university, they are planning to celebrate Halloween and want us to dress up for the classes. I'm thinking demonologist would be nice. Already done witch, vampire, porcelain doll and russian princess. What about you? Will you dress up?

I have long been in love with stories about women fighting for their love and Anna Karenina is one of them. She fights so hard that it brings about her destruction, making you wonder if there was nothing that could be done to save her before she jumped in front of that train...
Bellast Necklace and Crown Ring
My outfit was also inspired by the wonderful jewelry I got from Bellast. The Waterdrop and Rose Necklace reminded me of a necklace Keira Knightley wore in the latest Anna Karenina film. It has a beautiful purple teardrop crystal and many small rhinestones on the rose, it is also gold plated. It's very delicate and elegant! I also love the Crown Ring, it's one of my new favorite pieces and have been wearing it almost daily, it goes perfect with something elegant, but also with something more casual. It is made of quality copper plated with silver. I usually have a problem with silver rings because they turn my finger green, but this one hasn't! And for anyone who has watched BBC's series The White Queen, there is a very similar ring that Edward gives to Elisabeth. So, it is fit for a queen!
P.S.: I started med school, so I might be absent for longer periods of time until after the first year exams, but I will try to still keep you entertained with various photos and subjects!
It's been another couple of crazy months, with going to Vienna for my cousin's wedding, having to arm myself with a stock of EU regulations and laws to fight against discrimination based on nationality to get accepted into university in France (but that's a story I'll tell you another time if you are curious - all in all, I was victorious and will be studying Pharmacy starting this September), then shooting off to Romania for some event photography work and for holiday. And when I thought I could finally relax, another wisdom tooth decided to start coming out and give me quite the infernal pain for a week. And now I'm getting ready for a forest escapade and my first time sleeping in a tent. Oh and not to forget, I also started a new blog called The New Culinary Journey, check it out sometime!
In Vienna, right after my cousin's wedding. More photos from the city soon!
In Bucharest at Rock the City concert, waiting for Rammstein to come on stage. Only got to see them and the last 2 songs of Bullet for my Valentine, as my train was late (11 hours journey turned in 14 hours), followed by a quick run to the emergency hospital because of my wisdom tooth. Explains my weird face, no? But it was all worth it!
People define their idea of heaven in many ways, but mine is lying in the middle of a flower garden. It's a mixture of scents and textures, the moist grass, the velvety petals of roses, the scratchy thorns... And their season is sometimes so short, that they become really precious. How many stories have not been written around gardens and their magical inhabitants?

And because we've been mostly talking about us, girls, lets give the guys as well a place in the spotlight! There are great choices of items if you know where to look. Why not complete your look with some classy leather jackets for men, cheap because you don't have to spend a fortune to look good, you just need to keep an eye on what's out there! Leather jackets are a must have for everyone! And if you're feeling like a cozy day in is needed, put on a men's sweater and curl up on a comfy sofa with a good book!
Even I'd wear this! Lovely cotton jacket!
Not too long ago, I took advantage of a free weekend before the exams and went along with my parents to La Baule, on the eastern coast of France. We stayed in a lovely hotel (not even sure how many stars it had, but plenty anyway), had some amazing food and bathed in the ocean water. It was really nice as the weather was just good. We also took a trip around and saw how salt is being extracted from the ocean. It was quite a dreamy weekend!
Despite the abnormal cold weather for this time of the year, some blooms have dared to finally show up. On the other hands, my eagerness to dress for spring has landed me with a runny nose, so lesson learned there. It might look like spring, but only from behind the windows. So dress warm and be patient, winter can't last that much longer now. After all, we were told global warming is coming, not the ice age.

So, what is your weather prognosis? Are we finally going to have some real spring time? Or are we to wait until next year, maybe?

The weather just doesn't want to make it easy on us this year, does it? Snow and frost in late March, people coming down with flu and cloudy skies almost every day are not the stuff of fairy tale Easters. The poor Easter Bunny will probably have its tail frozen!
So I have decided to wear a springy outfit to invite Spring in. I mean, it's about time, don't you think, Spring? Have you lost your maps this year? We're here and all begging you to hurry up!

It is just my luck that for the third time I want to go to a fashion week I end up having to leave. During the London FW, I was in France and 1 day before Paris FW, I had to leave to UK for an interview. But, fingers crossed it was worth it and I did well, it will be another month of chewing my nails before I find out. So to keep my spirits high, I embraced some relaxing green. I love emerald green and am quite happy that it has finally become popular enough to make it easier to find.
