Recently, me and Florina did a bit of second hand shopping because my ‘only black’ obsession is almost over, so I am starting to wear color again and have fun with trying out different looks, like I did when I first started with the blog. Because THAT is actually how it all started, with ‘today’s looks’ of my sometimes crazy colorful mostly SH outfits. Above is also a detailed pic with my fur earmuffs. They are my best friends this winter, a present from Florina because I always told her how much I wanted a pair. She got the vintage fur-glove-replacement-thing for herself (pictured on the right).

This peachy jersey wrap sweater is actually the beginning of my ‘wrap jackets’ idea. It all started from here last summer, when I needed a sweater to wear at work because I was cold. So I just used the most comfortable fabric I could find and randomly made a pattern. Then, last fall, I went from there, making my [now] very popular wool wrap jackets, which can be worn on both sides. Please ignore my hair here, it’s dirty and I am actually very tired, after a day of sewing and pattern cutting.

I am usually against buying new fur, but we got this jacket at a local SH store, so it’s some sort of recycling and  besides, it is actually very very cold outside. Anyway, made this pic for Carola, will wear it more glamorously next time, I promise.

Lovely cool and inspiring looks in case you don’t know how to wear a tulle tutu skirt.

Have a great new week!

So I made a belated Christmas present to myself, or wait for it: and early Birthday present! Does not matter the reasons right? The important fact is that these lovely navy YSL tribute pumps are mine and I will cherish them forever from now on. Of course I’ll also wear them, even if I am like 2 meters tall when wearing them, but hey, doesn’t really matter!

I can say I am an official fashion blogger now, owning at least a pair of amazingly fabulous high heels. I feel a bit more complete on the inside. :))

Florina also got herself these lovely Jil Sander pumps with the wicked heel.

This is our new couch for the ‘upgraded atelier’. It just arrived while we were high heel shopping. So not only am I a bit more complete because of the YSL heels but our workspace also is.

I officially call this one helluva fantastic day and I love that I can share it on the blog. Hope you’ll have a great day also!

I found this picture of Gabriela on her Facebook profile, it’s from her prom and she is wearing a cream silk dress I made for her last summer. We wanted to highlight the hot pink high heels and that’s why we chose to go with a neutral/nude color for the dress.

It fits her fantastically and we actually made no fitting whatsoever, because we live in exact opposite parts of Romania. She just sent me her correct measurements and we perfectly understood each other regarding the design of the dress and it turned out perfectly. I am glad she had so much time at her prom and it is so incredible to see my work making people so happy, even if for only one night. It certainly looked like it was a fantastic prom night.

I myself will fabulously go back to work now.

Me and Florina are planing a ‘work-space upgrade’ at our atelier for this spring and we started making lists of all the furniture we still need. We started small, of course, with a huge vintage lamp that we got from a local store here in Timisoara.

Will not say more until everything falls into place. But please keep your fingers crossed for us.

And now it’s back to work for everybody! :)
