Is it spring yet?

(vintage skirt, no name boots and sweater, Topshop coat, vintage Chanel bag, vintage belt, vintage YSL necklace and no name headband)

EN: YEAAAH!!!!! The crappy snow is melting!!! Amen to that and thank you dear God for remembering that I exist. Oh, and just in case you’re taking a break from tsunami planning, or something as lovely as that, and you’re reading my blog (doh, of course you are), please get me these amazing YSL sandals for my next birthday. Or you could just deliver them tomorrow, I won’t mind. Size 6, thank you very much.

A couple of days ago I went to H&M and Zara and a few other stores, and let me just say that I drooled over 90% of the things. Of course, I still think the quality of their clothes is pretty bad most of the time and almost everything is overpriced, however-I fell in love with so many things from their spring collection! One particular thing I'm crazy about is the peplum thingie. Sadly, at the moment my wardrobe holds a grand total of…one, so I’m starting a crusade for acquiring as many as I can. In case you’re interested in them as well, you’d better check out H&M, I’ve seen the cutest mint colored peplum top there!
At Zara, I fell in love with a couple of dresses and a pair of shoes, too beautiful for words and too expensive for my budget for the time being. Sigh with me please.

I’m wearing a vintage skirt with thick tights underneath, some over the knee boots I couldn’t wait to wear again (I don’t even remember the last time I wore a heel that high), a sweater and a fluffy coat. The skirt is actually much longer but I cheated a bit and pushed it higher, so that the length would stop just under my knees. I’m still a big fan of midis, either fitted or loose, just like this yellow pleated number I’m wearing.

RO: DAAAAAAAAAAAA! Deci da tati. DA! Se topeste porcaria. De zapada zic. Amin si multumescu-ti Doamne ca ti-ai adus aminte de mine. Oh, iar in caz ca iei o pauza de la planificarea unui tsunami sau ceva la fel de dragut, si te relaxezi citindu-mi mie blogul (doh, normal ca-l citesti, ce dracu alta treaba sa ai), nu uita te rog sa-mi iei sandalele alea beton YSL pentru ziua mea. E peste 3 luni dar poti sa mi le livrezi maine, nu ma supar. Marimea 39, multumesc foarte mult.

Mda, parca vad ca iar ma ignora. Si ca sa fie treaba treaba, adica sa sufar si mai tare, m-am dus acum cateva zile la H&M, Zara si alte cateva magazine de gen. Are rost sa va spun cum am salivat pe mai mult de 90% din lucrurile pe care le-am vazut? N-are, deci nu va spun. Normal ca inca imi par execrabile la capitolul calitate si cam toate au niste preturi pentru oameni nezdraveni la cap, insa cu toate astea, m-am indragostit de o groaza de lucruri din ce au la vanzare pentru primavara! O chestie care imi place in mod deosebit e treaba cu peplumul. Singura problema e ca la ora asta am in dulap in total…in total, una bucata bluza cu peplum. Nu cumva sa ma invat sau ceva. Mi-am propus sa imi iau cat mai multe anul asta, in functie de ce gasesc. Iar in caz ca sunteti interesate si voi, eu zic sa dati o fuga pana la H&M ca din ce au vazut ochii mei, astia presteaza peplumuri pe mai multe modele. Mi-a placut in mod deosebit o bluza, de culoare verde menta, cu un guleras detasabil, gen peter pan, pe care erau cusute perlute. Foarte frumos.
La Zara mi-au placut vreo 2 rochii, relativ ample, pana la jumatatea coapsei, si o pereche de sandale delicioase, prea frumoase pentru cuvinte si prea scumpe pentru bugetul meu la momentul de fata. Oftati cu mine va rog. Doare mai putin.

In poze port o fusta vintage cu ciorapi grosi pe dedesubt si cizme peste genunchi. Abia asteptam sa le incalt din nou, nici nu mai tin minte de cand n-am mai purtat un toc asa inalt! Cu fusta am “trisat” putin, ea fiind in realitate mult mai lunga decat o vedeti aici, dar am ridicat-o undeva la nivelul pieptului astfel incat sa-mi ajunga pana sub genunchi. Inca imi plac foarte mult lungimile midi, fie ele largute ca asta sau stramte pe corp. Mai am pe mine un pulover, o blana pufoasa si cateva accesorii.

Toodles!

EN: A while ago, Maria from the Oasap.com team contacted me for a collaboration between Thrill of the heel and their lovely online fashion store. After having an intensive browse on the site, I got pretty excited about what they had to offer and I picked out this cute chiffon skirt and this girly bracelet, which I styled up for this post. My idea behind these photos was to create something romantic, fun and exciting, yet subtle, by using old letters, a vintage chair, pastel colored clothing, antique books, fresh magazines, candles, tea and chocolate, things I love that are very special for me. And I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did :)

RO: Acum ceva vreme, Maria din echipa Oasap.com, m-a contactat in vederea unei colaborari intre Thrill of the heel si magazinul lor online de haine (dragute). Dupa o cotrobaiala intensa in lung si-n lat a siteului, am gasit cateva lucruri care mi-au placut si am decis sa accept oferta. Dintre produsele disponibile la vremea aceea, am ales pentru a-mi fi trimise fusta aceasta si bratara, in jurul carora am creat postarea de astazi. Ideea din spatele ei, sau tema pe care m-am gandit s-o abordez, face trimitere la o atmosfera romantica, un cadru distractiv si placut, relativ subtil, obtinut prin folosirea unor lucruri dragi mie, scrisori vechi, un scaun mai vintage (decat orice posed), haine in culori pastelate, carti din alte vremuri, reviste din zilele noastre, lumanari, ceai si ciocolata. Sper sa va faca si voua la fel de multa placere cata mi-a facut mie :)

I always had a thing for this sort of tutu-esque skirts and when I saw this fabulous little number on Oasap, I knew I had to get my hands on it! It doesn’t have a label so I’m not very sure about the fabric, but it feels like a super soft chiffon. I love the pastel color and the shape is really nice, all in all a lovely, romantic skirt. The only thing that worried me about it was the length. As I put it on and looked in the mirror, I was relieved to see that it wasn’t too short, but then again, I’m only 5'5", so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone taller than that.
The charm bracelet is something very me that definitely caught my eye. As you probably already know, I’m very fond of the idea of wearing piled up jewellery and mixing textures. Especially when it involves pretty ones like the one I’m wearing!
Be sure to check out their site for more pretty things like these. Oh, and they offer free shipping worldwide!
So here are a few of my favorites:

Referitor la produse… Am avut dintotdeauna o chestie pentru genul acesta de fuste “tutu”, chiar imi doream una de mult si am fost foarte incantata sa vad ca cei de la Oasap au asa ceva in stoc. Bineinteles ca am adaugat-o in cos imediat. Neavand eticheta, nu sunt foarte sigura asupra compozitiei dar se simte foarte moale la atingere, ceva ca un chiffon. Culoarea este exact cea din poze, o nuanta usor pastelata iar forma este data de cateva straturi suprapuse de material. Una peste alta, o fusta frumoasa, romantica. Chiar e, nu o spun pentru ca mi-au dat-o gratis:P Singura chestie de care mi-a fost teama si care cred ca ar trebui sa o stiti in caz ca va intereseaza, priveste lungimea. Aveam emotii gandindu-ma ca-mi va fi prea scurta insa s-a dovedit cumva la fix. Asadar, pentru cineva ca mine la 1,65 sau mai putin, este foarte ok, insa nu as recomanda pentru acelea dintre voi care depasiti inaltimea asta. Decat daca preferati sa o purtati pe dedesubtul fustelor pe post de crinolina. Ceea ce desigur ca voi face si eu :P
Bratara banuiesc ca nu socheaza pe nimeni, sunt destul de previzibila in ceea ce priveste bijuteriile. Imi place sa amestec texturi, materiale si culori diferite, multe si toate la un loc. Mai ales cand e vorba de unele dragute ca asta.
Mai multe produse de genul acesta puteti gasi pe siteul lor. Ah, si ofera transport gratuit oriunde in lume!
Am mai dat o tura pe site si iata ce am selectat dintre produsele mele preferate:

♥1♥ Asymmetric coat
♥2♥ Retro handbag
♥3♥ Retro Sleeveless dress
♥4♥ Owl ring
♥5♥ Beaded skirt

Je le trouve bien

EN: I have been pretty bad with outfit posts lately as I’m not in the best mood ever. Far too many things on my mind, this weather is making me depressed and I’m finding it even more difficult to find someone willing to follow me around every day and take pictures of my outfits. Nevertheless, I’ll try to update to the best of my ability till Spring comes and hopefully things will start falling into place!
So I’m cheating a little bit with these photos as this outfit is missing something. I wore the exact same thing minus the bare legs. As much as I wanted to wear this outfit with thin flesh-colored pantyhose, I couldn’t ignore the cold and I had to put on thick tights. Took them off before taking the photos as I love it so much more this way!
Picked up this lovely pink cardigan in a thrift store recently for a mere 10 dolars. It’s a little big on me but I bought it anyway because I love the color and how soft the material is. Not to mention those adorable shoulders and the buttons. It's stuff like this that makes me love thrifting. Paired it with this blue skirt which I bought almost a year ago but never wore it before. Not sure why; but I promised myself I’d try to wear everything I own at least once.
About the shoes I wore…no heels, no thrills. I’m not gonna to show them to you because you’d probably die laughing. And we wouldn't want that now would we?

RO: Nu ma simt foarte bine dispusa in perioada asta, probabil de unde si senzatia de nemultumire pe care o am cu privire la tinutele postate. Am o sumedenie de ganduri corcite in minte, vremea asta ma deprima ca pe un emo kinder jovial si ma descurc din ce in ce mai greu cu exercitiul de corupere a cuiva, oricui, dispus sa se tina dupa mine si sa-mi faca poze. In orice caz, toate astea ar trebui sa se regleze de la sine odata ce vine Primavara. Pana atunci insa, incerc sa ma descurc cum pot cu updatarea blogulului, eventual sa va ofer si ceva care sa va inspire. Mai greu, dar incerc.
Recunosc ca trisez putin in pozele astea, nearatandu-va tot ce am purtat. Tinuta cam asta e, exceptand picioarele goale si haina groasa pe care n-avea rost sa o pozez. Am purtat pe dedesubtul fustei o pereche de ciorapi negrii foarte grosi pe care i-am dat jos cand am ajuns acasa si m-am apucat de fotografii, pentru ca imi place mai mult varianta asta. Iar daca vremea mi-ar fi permis, asa as fii iesit. Si probabil ca as fii facut si pozele afara.
Am luat cardiganul asta de curand dintr-un sh pentru vreo 30 de lei. Imi este putin mare dar l-am cumparat oricum pentru ca imi place culoarea si cat de moale e materialul. Asta pe langa umeri si nasturii aceia dragalasi. Vedeti, din cauza lucrurilor de genul asta scormonesc prin shuri. Cu toate ca de cele mai multe ori ma intorc acasa cu mana goala, sub forma unui pachet de nervi. L-am alaturat unei fuste de anul trecut pe care n-am apucat sa o port. Nu stiu exact de ce, doar imi place fusta. In orice caz, mi-am promis ca anul asta o sa incerc sa port tot ce am macar o data.
Despre incaltari…nu tu heel, nu tu thrill, niica. Nu va arat cu ce hidosenii sunt fortata sa ma incalt cand am de mers pe jos, ca radeti. Si probabil va alegeti cu crampe la stomac. Iar apoi va am eu pe constiinta. Ce n’est pas bon.

Many find solace in prayer…

...but not me. I find it beginning from a mild 4 inch to a sky scraping 6.5 inches.

Multi gasesc alinare in rugaciune. Nu si eu. Pentru mine alinarea porneste undeva de la un toc modest de 10 cm pana la un 16,5 :))

River Island Glitter Wedge Platform Heels

This may come as a shock to you, but I like shoes. Therefore, I got myself shoes. They are tall and beautiful and glittery and comfortable (they really are!) and they came with 40% off!
Need I say more?

Si stiu ca asta o sa vina ca un soc, dar mie imi plac pantofii. In consecinta, mi-am luat pantofi. Sunt inalti si frumosi si stralucitori si comozi (chiar sunt!) si au venit la pachet cu o reducere de 40%!
Mai e nevoie sa continui?

Also got some pretty lingerie and some other little thingies that i've been too lazy to photograph.
Solace or what? :D

Am mai luat si cateva piese dragute de lenjerie plus neste alte treburi, socoteli mici, pe care, spre rusinea mea, am trandavit si nu le-am pozat.
Consolare sau ce? :D

Quantum of solace

(Topshop coat, Mango dress, Deichmann boots, vintage Louis Vuitton bag, no name gloves and blue scarf,Pimkie belt, no name jewellery and a vintage head scarf)

EN: Myeah. The Mary Katrantzou for Topshop collection. Thank you Topshop for giving me yet another thing to obsess about. Of course that by the time I opened the website, the collection was already sold out and of course the balloon dress I loved so much was the most expensive product and the first one to go. From the first time I saw it, my jaw hit the floor as I was absolutely mesmerized by how gorgeous, vivid and cheerful the colors were. And don’t get me started on the prints! Gorgeous, I’m telling you! If only I was Paris Hilton… Or any other rich spoiled brat celebrity with a good wi-fi connection.
So sad. And now, a moment of silence please, to commemorate what could’ve been a love story. Let us pray.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, I found solace, my friends. But more on that later.

Now on to my outfit. Survived (or just about) the black frost in just a pair of tights, a dress and my coat. Considering the tons of layers I’ve been wearing lately, it’s such a relief to wear something that doesn't constantly remind you that you’re in big trouble if you need to pee.
So I’m wearing a Mango dress I bought a year ago on sale. It has a nice fit-and-flare silhouette (which I totally love), a semi stiff underskirt, it’s cinched in at the waist and it has a lovely folk print. What’s there not to love? I wore it very often last summer with bare legs and sandals (ah, memories!) and paired it with thick tights and boots this time, just to make sure my legs won’t turn blue before getting back home. Sneaky little appearance from my beloved red coat which I neglected to wear ever since the ice age struck. I’m Sesquatch, remember?

RO: Mda. Mary Katrantzou pentru Topshop. De parca aveam nevoie de o alta obsesie. Bineinteles ca pana am apucat eu sa deschid siteul (asta insemnand undeva la maxim 2 ore de la lansare), colectia era deja sold out si bineinteles ca rochia pe care o vroiam eu (nu ca mi-as fi permis-o, dar eu o vroiam totusi:))) a fost cea mai scumpa si prima vanduta. M-am indragostit de ea inca de cand au aparut teaserele pe net, acum cateva luni. Salivam la culori. Tanjeam dupa imprimeuri. Ca un copil prost la bomboana altuia. N-a fost sa fie. Superb, ce sa mai zic. Daca eram si eu Paris Hilton…sau macar un plod de celebritate obscura ceva. Cu wi-fi potent.
Trist. Sa pastram un moment de reculegere in memoria a ceea ce putea fi o poveste de dragoste intre o fata si o rochie. Sa ne rugam.
M-am consolat totusi. Dar despre asta mai tarziu.

Acum hai cu tinuta. M-am aventurat de curand prin nameti si ger in doar o pereche de ciorapi, o rochie si haina. Intamplarea face ca am scapat vie (sau ma rog, aproape vie). Dupa tonele de straturi in care m-am infasurat in ultima luna, e o senzatie sublima sa nu ti se mai reaminteasca in mod constant in ce hal ai pus-o daca ai nevoie la pipi.
Deci port o rochie Mango luata anul trecut de la reduceri. Mi-a placut in mod special silueta, este stransa pe corp in partea de sus iar de la talie in jos, fusta devine clos avand pe dedesubt ceva ca o jupa batoasa, pentru mai mult volum. Imprimeul imi place, talia e marcata, lungimea e ok…ce sa mai vreau? Vara trecuta m-am bucurat de ea intens, cu picioare dezgolite si sandale (ah, ce amintiri!) iar de data asta m-am folosit de ciorapi grosi (cea mai groasa pereche pe care o am, poate la fel de grosi ca si colantii) si cizme groase. Preventiv doar, sa fiu sigura ca nu ma intorc acasa albastra de la frig. Si poate va amintiti si de haina asta rosie pe care nu prea m-ati vazut purtand-o. Probabil pentru ca n-am mai imbracat-o de cand cu Ice Age. Sunt eu, Sesquatch. Tineti minte? :P

I find myself in dire need of…

♥ New memories
♥ Blowing air
♥ Color
♥ Smiles
♥ Engaging books
♥ Hyacinths and daffodils
♥ Seashells
♥ Bows and ruffles
♥ Long conversations

Sad to say that for the time being, most of these things are hopeless. But if there were to be spring and I could take long walks from dawn till dusk, feel the blowing air moving across my body, watch the swollen clouds, enjoy long conversations, wear high heels and easy breezy dresses, then this would be the dress I’d wear. And yes, I’d pair those shoes with ankle socks (I know I know, faux pas, bla bla bla) and I’d wear tons of jewellery and fancy hats and I’d read that book (well, not quite that one, I’m almost done with it), I’d drink iced tea and I’d eat my pizza with silverware. Haha, I find it so funny to see people scrupulously eating their pizza with fork and knife!

I’m wearing Miu Miu shoes, Asos socks, vintage necklaces, Stradivarius cuffs, no name belt, bracelets and earrings, vintage hat and a dress courtesy of T!na R. Go check out their stores, they have sales right now, up to a massive 80% off on the autumn/winter collections and the spring/summer collection has already hit the stores!

Toodles!
