Outfit In Extenso

I always liked challenges. Especially in fashion zone. I see a challenge with great interest because it leads me to leave my comfort zone and makes me think outside of the box. That's what happened when I was challenged by Auchan. Is there a connection between a hypermarket and fashion? Well, Auchan has in its textile section, the brand Extenso.And voila, challenge! There is more, during this period #21ZileAuchan awaits you to enjoy modern products, brands, novelties, exclusive products, and a fair .I admit, I never ever thought that I would buy clothes from a hypermarket.

How to wear a pleated skirt

The pleated skirt is the most chic piece of a woman’s wardrobe. It’s a very versatile item with which you can make many outfits that work for different occasions. You can wear it at work, in the club, at a cocktail or casual. The folds of the skirt compliment the body shape, but we must pay attention to the length, color and texture, as for any other item. The rest is imagination and aesthetic sense.In my outfit I mixed the Zara skirt with a black top and a pair of Dolce & Gabbana boots.The pleated skirt was designers’ favourite piece last summer, but it will never be out of fashion because it’s already a classic item. This fall you can...

#LFW Day 3

Fashion weeks, Personal Style

Denim Mania !!! Denim has always been a trend, but in the last two seasons I've seen a real explosion in designer collections and in street style outfits. I can not say that I dislike it, because I am of fan denim. It is comfortable, stylish and easy to accessorize. For the third day of London Fashion Week, I combined these Zara indigo jeans with a spectacular Venera Arapu dress. A mix of textures, leather, cotton, with back transparencies and a fun print, which is very significant for collection slogan "If the music is too loud, you are too old". As accessories I chose nude platform shoes from Gucci, which make me a little taller, yuppi, an envelope with an interesting design...

#LFW Day 2

Fashion weeks, Personal Style

After 14 hours in heels in the first day at London Fashion Week, the second day I chose more comfortable outfit.The black & white oxford shoes from my collection with Ana Parvan were a hit among photographers, but also a good reason to give my feet a moment of relaxation. Relaxation is inaccurate to say, when I run all day from one show to another. Even in your most comfortable shoes your feet swell.If an outfit is comfortable it doesn't mean it can't be stylish at the same time. My outfit of the day at LFW was "simple" at first sight but with many wow factors.Printed silk, bomber jacket from Argo, combined with a quilted skirt from Irina Schrotter and accessorized...

#LFW Day 1

Fashion weeks, Personal Style

If the last 3 editions #LFW become very predictable for me this season came with a big change, namely the new BFC location. Most live shows will take place in Soho, where do you think? In a car parking !!! The organizers have made a whole setup here. The idea is cool to some extent, but awkward in terms of street style photos.But regardless of location, #LFW has its specific vibe and I'm glad to be back every year. I also enjoyed to see my dear friends again, this, besides hard work, scurry from one place to another, food and nights of walking with few hours of sleep, make up the joy of Fashion Week.I started the day with Bora Aksu's...

WHITE SHIRT

The classic white shirt, a basic clothing element in everyone’s closet and here I include both men and women. The white shirt, through its versatility, is very easy to wear. It looks good in combination with jeans and it’s perfect with a black skirt. You can go even more far, combining it in a stylish, glam, sport or eclectic outfit. If we were to make a little incursion in the history of this clothing item, you can find it dating from the 3rd century. We find it in the Roman Empire. At that time the shirt was long to the knees, made of linen and you could dress with it from the head. And from then until now, the design of...

TREND ALERT: WEAR FRINGE

Personal Style, Travel

Designers have decided! This summer it’s forbbiden to ignore this trend! Yes! It’s a trend alert: wear fringe! And you know why? Because fringe outfits are cool and dynamic. Imagine how good your dance moves are shown off in the club wearing a fringe dress or skirt. You have so many styles to choose from. You can inspire from the boho, country or the 70’s style and just to combine them in an eclectic way. Let your imagination free and use this trend as you like. I combined the Zara skirt with a simple H&M top and an architectural jacket from Rick Owens. A chic, relaxed outfit, made of few elements, while the fringe skirt is the centerpiece of the clothing...

Which type of living suits your personality

Editorials, Personal Style

Photography by Iuliana Popescu / Make-up by Cristian Buca / Hairstyling Alina CartuI was wondering these days how the living of my dreams would look like. That space in the house that is nicely arranged, where you feel comfortable anytime and where you fill with good energy.Suddenly, I realized how many memories I have in my current living, how many pictures, how many birthdays and encounters with my relatives and my dear friends I had in here.It’s the place where we all see each other in the evening when we get home, the place where we welcome our guests, the place where all the family activities happen and by the way, it’s also the place where we will have a wedding ceremony on Sunday....
