Lady Noree's Blog

There is a lot of choice this season when it comes to lady-like crystal jewelry and that can only make me happy! While I'm not the one to go for the super-colorful and fluorescent, I have managed to find some jewelry in more neutral tones. I think they have a great vintage feel, reminding me of the glorious eras of the 20s and 50s. Part of this look's jewelry come from Girl Intuitive and you should definitely check them out, because they have a wonderful range of elegant jewelry with styles going from tribal to rock to glamour. And I paired my jewelry with a fairly simple black velvet dress with contrasting white lace collar and cuffs and a pair of tall purple suede wedges, for the ultimate "vintage meets modern" look.

A quick visit to Chateau Chambordt is always welcome. I love that place. And although the weather has been moody and had us stuck inside most of the time, I did spend a good holiday. Christmas and New Years seem to have passed so fast this year! How I'd wish to celebrate once more before university starts again! But I'm chained to the cart of time, like everyone else, with the horses sometimes galloping and sometimes drowsy, with the squeaky wheels and the bumps in the road. We keep moving on and occasionally lift our head to glance at the road we've left behind....

So I  hope you all spent a wonderful holiday and wish you a wonderful 2014!

I've been quite busy lately, with exams and health problems too, so it's been a while since I took some photos. But here is a new series, with a gorgeous red lace dress from FoyMall, perfect for the festive season!! And I would also like to thank my friend Ariadna, for letting me take photos in her living room (which is absolutely gorgeous!).

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?

Just look at this amazing beige lace dress! So doll-like!

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!
