On the Runway at Glamour Fashion Street Show

















                              (shoes&jumpsuit: Zara; hat: H&M; bag: New Look; necklace: Six)



Saptamana trecuta am participat la concursul de Street Style organizat de Revista Glamour, unde am castigat locul 3. Am ales o tinuta simpla, dar eleganta, cu gand de vacanta si aer de Riviera Franceza.

Desi initial m-am inscris mai mult din dorinta de socializare si de a petrece frumos alaturi de prieteni, se pare ca tinuta mea a fost apreciata de membrii juriului, lucru care m-a onorat, in special deoarece din juriu au facut parte, printre altii, Dana Rogoz si celebrele Fabulous Muses, Alina Tanasa si Diana Enciu, ale caror aventuri in lumea virtuala le urmaresc cu mare interes.

Am reusit sa ma fotografiez atat cu Dana cat si cu Muzele Fabuloase, cu Dana chiar am discutat putin si am ramas frumos impresionata de simplitatea, naturaletea si energia pozitiva pe care o emana.

Dana este o femeie puternica de la care toate avem de invatat. Desi a trecut recent printr-un moment tragic in familie, a stiut sa-si mascheze tristetea, sa isi ridice capul si sa iasa in lume, sa fie stralucitoare si sa aduca putina bucurie unor ilustre necunoscute care vroiau sa straluceasca si ele pentru o zi.

Evenimentul a fost unul foarte reusit. Cu rasfat de hair & makep-up, cu prezentari de moda si cu multe cadouri.

Tin sa le multumesc organizatorilor, juriului si sponsorilor pentru premii: celor de la Toshiba pentru hardul extern de care chiar aveam nevoie si celor de la Marionnaud pentru parfumul Lancome care se afla deja pe lista mea de achizitii pentru vara asta si pentru cosmeticele profesionale de la Make-Up Studio, o marca de care nu auzisem dar care m-a convins prin calitate.

Le multumesc si prietenelor mele care imi sunt mereu alaturi, pentru zambete si sustinere, dar mai ales ii multumesc sotului meu pentru sprijinul neconditionat pe care mi-l ofera intotdeauna si pentru fotografiile minunate.

Si imi multumesc mie, pentru initiativa si curaj. Pentru ca mi-am depasit limitele, pentru ca am incercat si pentru ca mi-am oferit o seara de fericire.

Cenusareaso, oricand esti trista, cand nu mai faci fata problemelor, cand simti ca viata trece pe langa tine,  fa-ti un cadou. Dar nu orice fel de cadou, ci un cadou inedit, ceva ce nu ai mai facut, ceva ce te va scoate din zona de comfort, ceva ce iti doresti in secret, dar crezi ca nu ai putea face.  Fa-ti curaj si s-ar putea sa ai parte de experienta vietii tale!

Cu drag,
Anca

(EN) Last week I participated in the Street Style Contest organized by Glamour Magazine, where I won 3rd place. I chose a simple but elegant outfit, inspired by the vacation breeze and French Riviera.

Although initially I joined more from the desire to entertain and socialize with friends, it seems that my outfit was appreciated by the jury, which honored me, especially because the jury was made up of, among others, Dana Rogoz and famous Fabulous Muses, Alina Tanasa and Diana Enciu, whose adventures in the virtual world I’m following with great interest.

I managed to take pictures both with Dana and the Fabulous Muses. I even talked a little with Dana and I was pretty impressed by the simplicity, naturalness and positive energy she exudes.
Dana is a strong woman that we all have to learn from. Although it has recently gone through a tragic event in the family, she knew how to conceal her sadness, he raises his head high, and she went out in the world all glammed up and brought some joy to some illustrious strangers who wanted to shine as well for one day.

The event was very successful. We were offered pampering hair & makep-up, fashion shows and lots of gifts.

I would like to thank the organizers, judges and sponsors for the prizes: the external hard drive from Toshiba that I needed and those in Marionnaud for the Lancome fragrance that was already on my list for this summer and for the professional cosmetics from Make-Up Studio, a brand that I had not heard but that convinced me with their product quality.

I would also like to thank my friends that are always there, for the smiles and support, and my husband for supporting me unconditionally and for all the great photos.

And I would like to thank myself for the initiative and the courage. Because I have exceeded my limits, and I offered myself an evening of happiness.

Cinderella, whenever you're sad, when you feel that life is passing you, do yourself a gift. But not just any gift, but a unique one, something you've never done, something that will get you out of your comfort zone, something you always wanted in secret, but you didn’t think you could do. Be brave and you might have the experience of a lifetime!

Love,
Anca

Style & Smile











                           (dress and hat: H&M; blouse: Koton; shoes: Lacoste; bag: Zara)


Stilul…il ai sau nu. Vestea buna este ca daca nu-l ai, ti-l poti construi, in timp, cu atentie si rabdare!

Toate femeile alea pe care le admiri pentru tinutele fabuloase  sunt femei nascute cu simt estetic si atat.  Restul e studiu…al revistelor de moda, al noilor colectiilor, totul imbinat cu regulile nescrise ale modei.

Simtul estetic este cel care le ajuta pe aceste femei sa-si asorteze pantofii fucsia la rochia corai. Din revistele de moda afla ca se poarta pantofii stiletto si ca la Zara au varianta mai ieftina si regulile nescrise ale modei le impiedica sa-si puna ciorapi luciosi de culoarea piciorului, chiar daca afara sunt 15 grade…

E foarte important sa iti alegi hainele care iti plac nu hainele pe care le poarta toata lumea. Daca ti-ai luat cizme crosetate pentru ca toata Piata Obor le poarta, nu inseamna ca ai stil!

Stiu ce o sa-mi spui, ca femeile alea cheltuie o avere pe haine si accesorii si ca e normal sa arate impecabil. Si ca cizmele crosetate sunt ieftine.  Am o alta vest buna pentru tine: stilul nu se cumpara!

Da, cu haine de designer nu dai gresi niciodata, da, trebuie sa-ti vinzi un rinichi pentru o pereche de pantofi DAR stilul nu inseamna sa-ti tragic 2 piese de designer pe tine si gata, ci sa stii sa alegi din multitudinea de variante si sa reusesti sa le combini intre ele.

Cenusareaso, invata sa faci diferenta dintre ce e ieftin si ce te face sa arati ieftin!

Exista atat de multe variante de unde iti poti procura haine pe care sa nu cheltui o avere si care sa nu miroasa a plastic!

In primul rand trebuie sa stii ca nu ai nevoie de foarte multe piese in garderoba ci doar de piesele esentiale: o camasa alba, o rochie neagra,  cateva perechi de jeansi, cateva tricouri simple si doua- trei fuste de dimensiuni si culori diferite. Pe toate le poti gasi in marile magazine in perioada reducerilor, sau la magazinele de soldari care aduc haine din sezoanele trecute. Poti incerca chiar cateva sesiuni de thrifting pe la Second Hand-uri. Vei fi uimita cate piese vintage si accesorii de designer gasesti. Si nu, nu e nici o rusine sa iti iei o bluza Balmaine din second…mai rusinos este sa porti tricou fake cu paiete “D&G” pe care ai dat tot 13 lei…

Tine de tine cat si cum investesti in garderoba. Tot ce vreau sa-ti spun este ca nu trebuie neaparat sa fii bogata ca sa ai un stil apreciat de cei din jur.

Cunosc femei cu bani care, desi isi permit, nu investesc in haine si accesorii scumpe si cu toate astea au un stil impecabil, personalizat! Atat de personalizat incat nu as putea identifica magazinele din care isi cumpara hainele.

 Despre asta e vorba, stilul trebuie sa te defineasca, sa vorbeasca despre tine, despre cum esti, despre ce simti.

Sentimentele sunt cele care dicteaza atunci cand iti alegi o tinuta. Daca ai una din zilele alea proaste iti tragi boyfriend jeansii pe tine nici nu conteaza unde iesi ca tu doar in ei te simti bine. Ai zile ca trebuie neaparat sa porti tocuri pentru ca esti sexy si fericita si zile in care desi mergi in parc cu rolele, trebuie neaparat sa porti fusta…

Stilul este cel care te ajuta sa stii cum sa porti aceste alegeri. Pentru ca si cei mai plictisitori boyfriend jeansi pot fi resuscitati cu acesoriile potrivite, pentru ca stii ca tocurile sexy merg combinate doar cu anumite piese ca sa nu dea in vulgaritate si pentru ca fusta trebuie sa o incadrezi intr-o tinuta sport ca sa o combini cu rolele.

Cenusareaso, am invatat impreuna ca nimic nu e imposibil, ca si tu poti fi frumoasa, admirata si stilata, daca adaugi putina munca, o atitudine pe masura si un zambet larg!

Cu drag,
Anca

(EN) Style & Smile

Style ... either you have it or not. The good news is that if you don’t have it, you can build it in time, with attention and patience!

All those women who you admire for their fabulous outfits are only born with a great aesthetic sense. The rest is study ... fashion magazines, new collections, all combined with the unwritten rules of fashion.

Aesthetic sense helps these women to match the fuchsia dress to the coral shoes. From fashion magazines they learn that stilettos are back in and that they can find a cheaper version at Zara, the unwritten rules of fashion will prevents them to wear transparent glossy stockings , even if it’s 15 degrees outside...

It is very important to choose the clothes you like not the clothes everyone is wearing. If you got the crocheted boots just because everybody from your neighborhood is wearing them, that does not mean you have style!

I know what you will tell me: that these women spend a fortune on clothes and accessories and it's normal to look flawless. And the crocheted boots are cheap. I have good news for you: you can’t buy style!

Yes, you will never fail if wearing designer clothes and yes, you have to sell a kidney for a pair of shoes but the style does not mean you take two pieces of designer and you put them together but you have the ability to choose from many options and manage to combine them together.

Cinderella, learn to tell the difference between what’s cheap and what makes you look cheap!
There are so many options where you can buy clothes that do not cost a fortune and that does not smell like plastic!

First you should know that you do not need many pieces in your wardrobe but the essential pieces: a white shirt, a black dress, a few pairs of jeans, some simple shirts and two three skirts with different sizes and colors. You can find them all in the big stores during sales, or clearance stores that bring past seasons clothes. You can even try a few thrifting sessions. You will be amazed how many vintage and designer clothes you can find. And no, there's no shame in wearing a second hand Balmain blouse... but there is shame in wearing a fake “D&G” sparkle shirts that you also paid 5$ for.

You decide how you invest in wardrobe. All I want to say is that one does not have to be rich to have a style appreciated by others.

I know rich women that, although they can afford it, do not invest in expensive clothes and accessories and still have the most impeccable custom style! So custom that I could not identify where did they buy their clothes from.

Your style must define you, talk about you, how you are, what you feel.

Feelings are what dictate when choosing an outfit. If you have one of those bad you only feel good in your boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt. You also have days that you’re feeling happy and sexy and you must wear heels and days when even if you go rollerblading in the park, you really need to wear a skirt...

Your style is the one that helps you know how to wear these elections. Because even the most boring boyfriend jeans can be resuscitated with the right accessories, because you know heels are sexy only combined with some articles and you need to wear your skirt in a sport outfit for the rollerblading session.

Cinderella, we learned together that nothing is impossible, that you can be beautiful , admired and stylish, don’t forget to add a little work , an attitude and a very wide smile!

Love,

Anca

Head over heels!


























                                (blouse, pants, heels: ZARA; french beret: Buzdu Bijoux)

“Nu stiu cine a inventat tocurile, insa toate femeile ii sunt datoare” spunea Marilyn Monroe si mare dreptate avea. Tocurile sunt arma ta secreta! De cate ori nu te-au scos din cele mai grele situatii?

Ti-au “resuscitat” tinuta, atunci cand credeai ca totul e pierdut si ca nu poti sa mergi la petrecere cu rochia asta cu doua numere mai mare…dar cine se mai uita la rochie cu asa pantofi!

Ti-au fost alaturi dupa Marea Despartire, cand te credeai urata si proasta si grasa si nu credeai ca vreun barbat te va mai admira vreodata. Ti-au oferit curajul de a iesi in lume, putin mai increzatoare in tine si mai sexy si iata ca acum le datorezi 5 ani de casnicie!

Te-au insotit zi de zi la birou si ti-au adus aminte ca mai inainte de a fi robot esti femeie! Si parca nici tipetele sefului nu se mai aud atat de tare acolo sus…

Obsesia ta pentru tocuri a inceput in copilarie cand probai pe furis pantofii mamei, visand la ziua cand vei avea intreaga lume la picioare. Nimeni nu ti-a spus atunci ca viata e grea si ca e nevoie de mai mult decat de o pereche de pantofi sa ajungi sus. Cu toate astea, te-ai incapatanat sa-ti umpli dulapul de tocuri, in incercarea obsesiva de a reinvia sentimentul ala de fetita care avea un ideal. Si chiar daca nu a functionat, macar ai gasit un prieten care te ajuta neconditionat.

Cu toate astea, am intalnit femei care desi isi doresc foarte mult,  refuza sa poarte tocuri din simplul motiv ca sunt incomode sau ca nu le ofera stabilitate. Considera ca ar arata caraghios cocotate si prefera sa admire tocurile in picioarele si in atitudinea celor din jur.

Louboutin spunea ca “tocurile inalte sunt placere cu durere”. Depinde de tine daca esti dispusa sa platesti acesti mic pret.  Eu zic ca merita sa incerci, dar trebuie sa tii cont de cateva aspect atunci cand iti alegi noul “cel mai bun prieten”:
  •  Tocul trebuie sa aiba marimea potrivita. Tocurile foarte mici nu ofera aceeasi eleganta ca cele mari. Tine cont de modelul pantofului si lungimea piciorului. Daca porti un numar mare, pantofii cu toc mic iti vor alungi si mai mult piciorul. Tocurile foarte mari nu ofera intotdeauna stabilitate si daca nu le combini cu tinuta potrivita pot sa iti dea un aspect vulgar.
  • Tine cont de marimea gleznelor in special atunci cand iti alegi modele cu bareta. Pantoful cu toc trebuie sa imbrace frumos piciorul, sa-i ofere eleganta.
  •  E de preferat sa probezi orice pantof inainte de a-l achizitiona. Stiu ca sunt multe modele care iti fac cu ochiul de pe site-urile internationale, dar daca nu iti cunosti piciorul foarte bine, risti sa ai surprize.

Cenusareaso, de cate ori ai o zi proasta si vrei sa-ti ridici moralul, urca-te pe tocuri si priveste viata de la inaltime.

“Sus pe toc” viata e altfel, privesti totul cu incredere si optimism si problemele par mai mici. Orice e posibil cu perechea potrivita de tocuri!

Tot Marilyn Monroe spunea “da-i unei fete perechea de pantofi potrivita si va cuceri lumea”. Sunt sigura ca se referea la pantofii cu toc….

Cu drag,
Anca

(EN) "I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot" said Marilyn Monroe and she was so right. Heels are your secret weapon! How many times have you used them to get out of the toughest situations?

Heels have “revived” your outfit when you thought all was lost and you can’t possibly go to the party with this two sized dress... but who is looking to at your dress now when you have those shoes!

Heels have been with you through your “Great Brake Up”, when you thought you were ugly and fat and stupid, and that no man will ever like you again. They gave courage to get out there, a little more confident and sexier and now you owe them five years of happy marriage!
Heels have been with you every day at work and they have remembered you that before being a robot you’re a woman! And you can’t even hear your boss scream, this is how high they have taken you.

Your obsession with heels began in childhood when you used to try on your mother’s shoes dreaming of the day when you have the whole world at your feet. No one told you that life is hard and it takes more than a pair of shoes to conquer the world. Since then, you have stubbornly filled your closet with heels in an attempt to revive that feeling of a little girl who had an ideal. And even if it didn’t work, at least you found a friend who helps you unconditionally.

However, I have met women who even if they really want it,they refuse to wear heels just because they are uncomfortable and do not offer stability. They consider to be looking silly and prefer to admire heels in the feet and attitudes of others.

Louboutin said that "high heels are pleasure with pain." It’s up to you if you are willing to pay this small price. I say it’s worth it, but keep in mind some aspect when choosing your new “best friend”

  • Heels should have the right size frame. Very low heels do not offer the same elegance as high heels do. Consider the model of the shoe and your size when buying a pair of low heels. If you wear a big shoe size, low-heeled shoes will make your feet look even longer. Very high heel don’t always offer stability and if you don’t choose the right outfit, they can make you look cheap.
  • Consider the size of your ankles especially when choosing strap heels. Heels must beautifully dress your leg and make it elegant.
  •  It's best to try on any shoe before you buy it. I know there are many models that make your eye on the international sites, but if you don’t know your feet very well, you take on some risks.


Cinderella, whenever you have a bad day and want to cheer yourself up, put on those heels and look at life from up there.

"Up on the heel" life is better, you are more confident and optimism and problems seem smaller. Anything is possible with the right pair of heels!

Marilyn Monroe also said to "Give a girl the right pair of shoes and will conquer the world." I'm pretty sure she really meant “heels”...

Love,
Anca

Shopping is my cardio












       (skirt: PNK Casual; blouse, shoes, blazer: Zara; necklace: BijouBrigitte)



Despre moda…numai de bine! Asta pana deschizi dulapul si realizezi ca nici azi nu ai cu ce sa te imbraci…camasa alba preferata s-a cam ingalbenit si  fusta visinie iti intra doar pe un picior. Te hotarasti la rochia cu buline, dar iti aduci rapid aminte ca afara ploua si ai nevoie de ceva mai gros...tragi clasicii jeansi pe tine, un tricou negru si cardiganul, arunci doua-trei accesorii si iesi pe usa bombanind…ca nu ti-ai mai cumparat de secole ceva nou, ca trece sezonul pana apuci tu sa-ti iei noii Air Max, ca parca nu-ti vine sa muncesti doua luni gratis pentru ei, ca viata e nedreapta si moda n-ar trebui sa fie pe bani…

Cenusareaso, problema nu e la tine in dulap si nici in portofel! Problema e la cat de nesigura te simti tu in ziua aia si cat de mult ai nevoie sa te agati de o tinuta “traznet” ca sa te simti bine.

Fara sa-ti dai seama, hainele ascund sufletul! De cate ori n-ai dat iama in magazine doar pentru ca ai avut o zi proasta, constienta de faptul ca  “o sesiune de shopping e mai ieftina ca una la psiholog” si cum te-ai simtit cand ti-ai cumparat “cei mai frumosi pantofi din lume” sau “cea mai tare rochie”? Sentimentul asta de “cel mai” dureaza in medie cam doua zile si vreo 10 complimente…apoi problemele revin si simti din nou ca ai sufletul la fel de gol ca si dulapul.

Stiai ca femeile poarta in medie doar 25% din hainele pe care le detin? Asta pentru ca tindem mereu sa ne cumparam lucruri noi incercand sa umplem “golul"

Cenusareaso, hainele nu-ti vor rezolva problemele! Asta doar tu poti sa o faci! Lacrimile nu se sterg cu matase, se sterg cu incredere si zambet!

Fa-ti curat in dulap si in suflet! O sa descoperi lucruri uitate, de care iti era dor si pe care o sa le porti cu drag, dar si lucruri de care iti va fi greu sa te desparti desi stii ca nu mai fac parte din viata ta! Arunca tot ce-ti face rau, tot ce nu te lasa sa fii fericita!  Fara remuscari! Fa loc lucrurilor frumoase!


Si nu uita: o femeie fericita, va fi apreciata indiferent de hainele pe care le poarta!

Cu drag,
Anca

(EN)You have only good words for fashion! That is until you open your closet and realize that you don’t have anything to wear...your favorite white shirt is a little yellow and your purple skirt is bit small. You decide on the polka dots dress, but you quickly remember that it’s raining and you need something thicker. So you pull out your classics jeans, a black shirt and a cardigan, you throw two or three accessories and get out the door rattling about how you haven’t bought something new for centuries, how the season goes by and you didn’t get the chance to get your new Air Max, how you may need to work for free the next two months to own them, and how life is unfair and you shouldn’t pay for fashion!

Cinderella, the problem is neither in your closet nor in your wallet! The problem is how unsafe you feel that day and how much you need to “cling” to an outfit to feel better. Do you realize that clothes hide the soul! How many times have you raided stores just because you had a bad day, well aware of the fact that “shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist " and how did you feel when you bought "the beautiful shoes in the world" or "the hottest dress"? That “the most” feeling lasts about two days and 10 compliments...then problems come back again and again you feel you heart as empty as your closet.

Did you know that women wear on average only 25% of the clothes they own? That's because we tend to always buy new things to fill in the “gap”.

Cinderella, clothes will not solve your problems! You are the only one that can do that! Don’t wipe your tears with silk, wipe them with confidence and smile!

Clean your closet and your soul! You'll find things forgotten that you missed and you will wear with love and things that will be hard let go although you know they are no longer part of your life! Throw away everything that is bad, everything that does doesn’t let you be happy! Without remorse! Make way for the beautiful things!

And don’t forget: a happy woman will be appreciated regardless of the clothes she wears!

Love,

Anca
