I wouldn't like you to think that I moved to the countryside! I am and will remain faithful to the urban settlement. But when I feel overwhelmed with everyday's life, going to the countryside means peace, family, reading and sweet escape into nature.

GRAY MATTERS

by Carmen Negoita

Personal Style

Thinking of the Romanian poet George Topârceanu, I could say: "Chirr-chirr-chirr, This fall's trend is gray". You've probably already heard that, this fall, shades of gray are the IT factor. Yes, I know, in the first instance, you might think that this color is gloomy, monotonous, dull. However, in terms of fashion, gray can be stylish and, at the same time, cool & young. The designers are inviting us to test our creativity. For a successful startup, here are some good tips: play with shades from light gray to dark gray, and, for a touch of sparkle, include metallic grays. For maximum effect, add a touch of color such as yellow or purple. The rest is pure imagination! Photographer / Iuliana Popescu Location / Bucharest ...

CANDY CRUSH

by Carmen Negoita

Editorials

My dears, I promised you that I would deliver more projects on carmennegoita.com and yes, I am keeping my word! Today’s post is a new editorial approach. My talented team and I dared to produce a make-up based photoshoot. Does Candy Crush mean anything to you? Well, for the ones who don’t know, it is a new addiction, a game, for almost all the smartphone users. I am not really addicted to this game, don’t get me wrong, but, due to this hype around it, let’s play it MY WAY. What came out? In my opinion… something DIVINE! My little game couldn’t be interesting without Cristian Buca – the celebrity make-up artist. He’s the artist behind many celebrities’ appearances such as Alexandra...

CHAPEAU BAS!

by Carmen Negoita

Fashion weeks

Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Cara Delevingne are only few of the celebrities that love hats. Even famous designers made few proposals on their catwalks. Let's not forget that at the beginning of the 20th century, a woman use to wear 2 or 3 hats per day, depending on the situation. None of them would've showed herself in public without wearing one. Today things have changed and this element doesn't represent an important accessory in the modern woman's wardrobe. The hat's glamour of yesterday can be found these days only at royal events. With all this been said, a real fashionista knows that this season the hat plays an important role. Even if, sometimes, is difficult to come up with an attire that...

1940s FASHION

by Carmen Negoita

Fashion weeks

Hello fashionistas, I'm glad to be back with a new post. As you know, this season many designers have been toying with for a while has now taken over the runways, the 40s. The looks are feminine, elegant yet restrained, and firmly anchored in wartime Europe. The first sign that Fall would be a mid-century season came at the tail end of the New York shows, when Marc Jacobs resurrected old-fashioned fox-fur stoles complete with heads attached. By the time Milan was over, the 1940s had become a bona fide trend, with everyone from Gucci's Frida Giannini to Tomas Maier at Bottega Veneta showing nipped-waist jackets and below-the-knee skirts. In Paris, skirts flared to New Look proportions at Rochas and Lanvin, and...
