Christmas is getting closer, which means: time for presents! You can start getting them now, because Josephine Jewellery is having a sale. You can get any of these lovely Swarovsky crystals brooches at a 25% discount, until 1st December. See more brooches here. For orders contact her or even me at diana[at]sofashon.com. I really love the first red-and-pink one, looks like a strawberry to me!

It was a fun Halloween this year, as we got together all dressed up at a party held at Santa Claus’ house. From doctors and nurses, to monsters, super-heroes, Pocahontas and Charlie Chaplin, they were all there, ready to trick and to treat. I had no time to sew a proper ‘cat woman’ outfit for myself, so I chose to go with the easiest: a showgirl-pussycat look. Maybe next year I’ll be bold enough to rock a latex suit. Roarrr!

Did you dress up for Halloween?

I met Mihaela Zvinca at a recent event in Bucharest. She is a Romanian jewellery designer and a very lovely person, even if we didn’t have time to chat so much. I noticed her chic trench coat. Must be professional hazard. See more of her work here.

These are a few of the latest dresses that I made, you can find them in a 38 size at the Ummagumma store in Bucharest (Calea Victoriei 122). I wanted them to look especially pretty, feminine and elegant. I used pure silk fabric for most of them, just because of the incredible feel and flow it has. The lace is used for an extra feminine touch. I love to make pretty dresses just because I believe every girl/woman wants to look and feel pretty, right? Big thank-you to Roro for being my fab fit model once again!
