Hi loves,

Just decided to write this kind of blog post in which you can find some inspiration, by having all the outfits I wore in a month with links and details about each item. I usually post them on Instagram and it’s not that difficult to find them, but by having all of them in one place I thought it will be easier.

So here you have the first post and let’s consider it a test. Since it’s the first one ever and also the first of the month, I will start with January: winter outfits combined with some that might look like autumn/spring just because the weather was a bit chaotic and we had a bit of everything. Sun, snow, cold and moderate temperatures ❤️

With no further ado, let’s start this series and I will be more than happy to know what you think about this idea.

Wish you all a lovely week,

Kisses, M ❤️

Hi loves,

Somehow, in Romania people managed to have Black Friday deal the entire month weather was Monday, Tuesday or even Sunday. Nevertheless, I decided to shop some of the items I had on my wishlist but also saved some money for other things too. You know what they say: ” Save for later alligator”.

And here you have the sales I love the most. When it comes to shoes & bags, nothing can stop me :)). I will start by talking about this outfit and later on, I will tell you more about the new order placed earlier today!

It’s time for some super discounts on Shopbop and you have to stay close because more surprises are coming. Not going to say a lot about it, just to share the current news: You have 25% discount on selected bags & shoes for 24h. Tomorrow? It’s a secret but I bet you’ll love it too.  Just remember to use “STANDOUT” promo code at check out to make sure you enjoy the discount.

Shoes, oh well, I have an addiction and I admit it. I want to have just a few of classic ones that can go well regardless the outfit & season, but most of the time I am looking for different shapes, innovative collections and outstanding pairs. So when I first saw this pair of boots from Off-White I knew they must be mine. It was a bit difficult to pick between black & white / brown & white but this was my pick in the end. I guess it was because of the discount but well…why not be honest :))

Moving on, when but it’s still related to the boots, when they first arrived, I knew I will wear them for festivals, with skirts and dresses but since this was not possible, I imagined myself wearing something all white with some brown touches. I am also thinking to combine them with jeans and a brown blazer but this idea is “coming soon” :)).

Last but not least, sunglasses. Another small passion of mine that it’s becoming bigger and bigger. Most of my pairs are cat eye or round. But a squared one was missing from my collection and for a while I wanted to add a Gucci pair but it wasn’t their time. Now I admit that I want to wear them again and again with almost every single outfit, even if they don’t match the outfit :)).

And now, it’s time for the reveal! Are you curious enough? What was my biggest desire? I mean not THE biggest, but one between the many :)) Drums…. I am waiting for my second Jacquemus Bag ♥ I am still in love with the first one I bought it and it’s a summerish one ( I am sure you already know it from my previous posts) but this was is super classy and goes well with outfits all year long. Just check their selection, all of them are simply gorgeous and I can say that I have a designer crush.

I won’t keep you any longer, if you want to do some shopping, now it’s the time!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

Since I first posted one of these shots on Instagram ( @manuelalupascu) I saw that even if the outfit it’s simple and super comfy, you all loved it because that special thing stays in the details.

Thus being said, I know that many of you are waiting to find out more about the pair of jeans I was wearing. Maybe you skipped some of my posts, especially this one, because I had a similar pair from the same brand, the difference being the fact that they were short. I have to tell you that was love at first sight even from the very first moment. It was more than a year ago and this criss-cross wide leg jeans from AGOLDE went straight to my heart.

What I want to tell you was the fact that the shorts were too large, but I decided to keep them for a loose feeling and when the time has come to order the long pair, just to imagine how big the shorts are, I went two sizes down and finally I have the perfect fit. But in the mean time I have a new pair from the same brand on my wishlist :)) I know, I am a bit crazy but this time I won’t go for the criss-cross but for a Fold pair.

Let me know what you think of it ♥

Last but not least, I simply adore the accessories! A chic pair of Chloe sunglasses ( new acquisition, hihihi), my Velante case ( also from their newest collection, Kanda) some of the most classic pair of boots from Tezyo and the outfit could’t be completed without a big and honest smile ♥  You can find all the direct links in the ” I was wearing section.

I don’t think anything else should be added!

Wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

For today I have prepared a small surprise for you ♥ Actually it’s not that small because you can get up to 25% discount on your fav items from Shopbop by using the following code: FALL20! So yes, you can enjoy sales on full price items and on sales too and shop more for the same amount that you had in mind to spend, but please pay attention to the fact that it is applicable on selected items because there are some brands & products exclusions!

I have for a while now some items in my wishlist and once the sales were available, I’ve placed the order and now, I am just waiting for the package to arrive ♥ I am not going to keep a secret out of this and I am going to tell you what was my sin this time :))

Let’s start with two pairs of sunglasses! Just like that. I have an obsession for shoes but I am trying to keep it on a leash and how can I do that? By focusing on things that I need and love too, but let’s say a bit less.

Chloe – Carolina imitation Pearl & Gucci – Evolution Oversized Square Aviators

Two different shapes, two different brands and as I am always talking about smart shopping, you can’t find shapes and colors like these two in my wardrobe. So, yes, you can say I’ve done some compulsive shopping but it was a smart one too

But don’t think I managed to stop. The list continues as you might have guessed with two pairs of boots that are simply perfect for this season and not only. They are essentials for Autumn but also extremely versatile and can go well in the hot season, for festivals ( hopefully we will have some next year) and last but not least can be worn with shorts, dresses, skirts, jeans… basically with everything. For a while now I was craving for a pair of Isabel Marant boots and now I’ve found the perfect ones & also I had my eyes on the Off-White boots and managed to get them on a super good price. Oh, I just hope that the package will arrive asap.

Last but not least, hands up if you’re a denim lover because here you have the must have pair: the crisscross zipper is a huge trend right now and it’s fresh, catchy and fun. If you remember, I already have a short pair of jeans from Agolde, but now, it’s time to wear long ones.

Isabel Marant Boots, Agolde Criss Cross Jeans, Off-White boots

Last but not least, I am thinking of a nice unboxing once they will arrive. What do you think? I admit that I am super excited and I just can’t wait to wear everything I’ve ordered.

I am not going to keep you any longer because you can enjoy the sales for a short period of time and trending brands are selling fast.

Sales are available up until 16th of October and I just hope you’ll find your fav items!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

I am a summer lover for sure, but one of my fav parts of the year is when we all start to feel the autumn breeze but it’s not yet so cold. That moment when we can wear shorts or skirts with blazers & sweaters combined with boots ♥ Oh, I simply love these kind of outfits.

So here you have my proposal for you today with some of the items I already have for a while & also some new ones. The good news? As I am always telling you, it’s important to invest in items that are not just seasonal but buy some that will last longer in your wardrobe. Thus, all the items I am wearing are still available online and you can find them in the I was wearing section.

For example: Dr. Martens boots! Basically they are just some boots, right? Beside the ones with platforms ( all 3 pairs I own have platforms :))), you can find some normal ones that are also easy to wear, comfortable and fashionable at the same time ♥

Blazers? Well we all have at least one. Mine is stolen from my boyfriend’s wardrobe :)) I mean, he’s not wearing it anymore and he wanted it gone! But I have found a similar one. Small advice: if you want an oversized blazer, don’t go for a fit one in a larger size. It’s truly important to pick one that has a straight shape otherwise the fit will be wrong.

Even more, it’s even smarter to make some shopping, not compulsive one, when it’s the sale season or even better to follow your fav websites because they always add new items on sales. That’s the case today with SHOPBOP. They’ve added more than 1000 styles on sales and the discounts go by up to 70%.

Now I want to know what’s your fav trend during the cold season and if you’re happy that Autumn is here!

Wish you all a lovely day,

Kisses, M♥

Hi loves,

I am back with another outfit post! I admit, this kind of posts are my favorite but somehow I promised myself that from now on I will also start posting more about other topics too, like: beauty, skincare, shopping, travel & adventures! If this comes into your interest, I will be more than happy to receive some suggestions from you and to be able to provide something that will be helpful and fun to read in the same time!

Going back to our today’s topic, I am wearing a mix of summer/beginning of autumn outfit because the weather was a bit moody lately and I admit that it was a bit hard for me to find the most suitable outfit!

In fact, the only autumn outfit was the blazer but you know… a bit of drama never hurt nobody!

The center piece of this outfit, oh well, my newest acquisition when it comes to shoes ♥ Officially, I present you my second pair of Jacquemus shoes. I know that for some of you, this pair of sandals can be hard to digest but you also know that I usually go for not the usual shoes :)) I have only one pair of stiletto and some other “normal” pairs, but mostly I have shoes that can take the spotlight And I bet you want to know the fact that right now they have a super discount. Even bigger than the one I enjoyed ( Yes, I am jealous right now), meaning somewhere around 65% Discount!!

Also, have you noticed my pair of denim shorts? I was hunting the Agolde jeans for a while now and since the long one were sold out, I decided to go for the short ones! My mistake was to order them in a bigger size than needed but I was so enthusiastic to finally have my hands on a pair that I decided to not make a return!

What can I say, so me! Somehow, I hate to make returns. I always do my best to order them correctly and to place the orders only if I am 100% sure I want something! I think it’s fair enough for everybody, right? And one of my fav online shop when it comes to designer brands and must have pieces is Shopbop ♥

Another premiere is me wearing this kind of hat :)) don’t get me wrong, I love hats, I have plenty but this bucket hat is the first one I decided to buy and actually wear! I find it hilarious and a bit funny but being normal it’s overrated( she said in her defense)!

But the overall outfit looks really interesting, don’t you think?! Something basic, something catchy and something different!  It brings me ghat Power Puff Girls vibe: sugar, spice and everything nice hahaha!

And now, some other great news!! You can use my code “Manuela30” for 30% discount on Mohito website. It’s available for full price items ONLY and it can be used until this Sunday ♥

With all this being said, good discounts, smart shopping, don’t spend all the money :))

That’s all for today and as usual, I will leave all the details and links for the items in the “I was wearing” section!

Wish you all a wonderful day!

Kisses, M

Hi loves,

I know that these days we stay more at home and try to fight this horrible virus. In this regard, I just hope that you are all safe and healthy. I know that self isolation is hard, but it’s the only thing that it can actually make the difference. I have mixed feelings like anxiety because I am a super active person but in the same time I feel happy for having time for myself first and second because I get to spend some quality time with the dear ones.

Do you remember those days when you wanted so bad to have a few free days? Just try to think about it and it will mentally help you to get through this period. I have to admit that I sleep a lot, exercise everyday and most of all, I am paying more attention to my skin and my needs.

Last but not least, I am doing some online shopping :)) I know, it’s not as important as the problems we deal with nowadays, but we all need a moment to breath and enjoy the moment. Plus, as I am always telling you, smart shopping is the key to a well organized dressing.

In all this chaos, beside everything else, I am mostly proud of a new cute little bag from Fendi ordered from Shopbop ♥ Can’t wait to show it to you, but for the moment is in transit and first I need to disinfect it once it will arrive :)) But I don’t know when I will be able to take some nice outfit pictures again. Let’s hope for the best and in the mean time, after I will use all the pictures made in advance, I will start taking pictures of myself in the house :))

Moving on, aside online shopping, I will miss going into the Mercari stores to find some goodies. Everytime I entered one of their stores, I left poorer :)) but with so many amazing items for which I have no regrets. As it is the case today, the blazer and the classic white shirt are from Mercari. But for the moment I cannot advise you to just go outside and check their items. But be sure, since I am staying home, I am also saving money :)) No fuel, no dinners in the city and so on. Just the essential food and some basic bills that must be paid monthly :)).

Girls, just be safe and safe nowadays means to stay home.

Take care of you and let’s talk more here or you know that you can always find me on Instagram ♥

Virtual hugs and kisses!

Hi loves,

Today I want to talk about some boots. But not just any boots, I will talk about the wants that drove the entire planet crazy: we all want to have them in as many colors as possible, to wear them all year long because they are suitable from winter to summer and most important, they have an affordable price and it’s amazing how they become super addictive and desired.

Yes, I am talking about the Dr. Martens boots ♥

I have to admit, I am crazy about them too. I first started with the burgundy ones because at the moment, it was the only color available in my size :)) As I previously told you, they get out of stock rapidly and last year it was extremely difficult to put your hands on a pair. Nowadays, it’s the same situation, but I’ve learned my lesson and in order to get the next pair, I was a little stalker :)).

And this is how I get to the second pair: the white Dr. Martens boots. I wanted to share some of the outfits I wore and as you can see, they are super versatile, because they can go well with skirts, dresses and jeans too, no matter the season. In fact, I found the white pair, as I was searching for a black pair, but as expected, my size was nowhere to be found. Regarding the size, please be careful when you pick it, if you’ll place an online order: sizes are listed in US Size on SHOPBOP and it’s a bit different from what you’re normally used to, to be more precise, with the European sizes, but if you check the size conversions, there will be no mistakes.

Now, I will leave you some outfits that might inspire you and if you’re not already in love with the boots, maybe you’ll change your mind a bit. Don’t worry, I have some more, because another pair, another color will follow :))

And now, last but not least, the moment has arrived. At one year distance from the first pair of boots I’ve bought, the time has arrived and I finally managed to buy the so wanted black pair of Dr. Martens boots. It was the pair I wanted the most and I was happy to find out that they have launched an all black one, without the classic yellow touch.

Another important aspect that I want to mention, is that the burgundy pair, together with the black one are vegan. What does it actually means? The fabric is faux leather and believe me, the quality is amazing. I would not have even thought for a second that they are not made out of leather.

Also, as you can see, I bought all the 3 pairs with platform. This is the Jadon version, but you can also find pairs with low sole, plus the colors and prints come in many options. You’ll just have to search and find the pair that suits you the most and I will assure you that they will became an addiction :)).

Hi loves,

A while ago, someone and I am not going to give names, said that Off-White will no longer be fashionable but the latest items and the latest collaboration with IKEA drove people crazy… :)) I saw some incredible scenes from the stores and I am still seeing people wearing so many items design by Virgil Abloh.

I personally own a pair of sneakers and I love them. Maybe because it’s the only black pair sneakers that I actually own, but mostly because it has its own twist. You already know that I don’t like…. ” normal ” shoes :)) You can see them in the pictures and I am really curious to know if you like this brand or not.

And if you’re not familiar with the brand, I have to tell you that recently, Virgil Abloh created a special collection in collaboration with IKEA. No it’s not about fashion, clothing & shoes, but more about home deco and some classic paper bags with a twist :)). I randomly went to the store the same day the collection was launched and the bag was the only thing left :)) I have heard that people gathered in front of the store with hours before the opening and when the time has come and the doors had opened… well, it was like a run for their lives :)))

I, personally, don’t really get all the craziness around these special collections but don’t get me wrong. If I have the chance and I like something, I will buy it for sure, but not like this :))

Anyway, let me know what you think about this entire madness and if you have ever been part of it, accidentally or by desire :))

Wish you a lovely day!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

Dupa cum stiti, sambata trecuta am facut un tur de forta, in cautarea celor mai frumoase locuri pe care le pot vizita intr-o singura zi. Cum era de asteptat, pozele au iesit superbe ( din punctul meu de vedere ♥) insa cu un astfel de background era aproape imposibil.

La sfarsitul zilei, chiar inainte de apus, am ajuns pentru prima data aici. Lacul Sfanta Ana, un loc superb, in natura, unde te loveste linistea si parca timpul sta in loc. Voi ati ajuns pana acum?

Pe langa aceasta recomandare, vreau sa va reamintesc un lucru: GoT is over but Winter is still coming :)). Am ales special aceasta geaca rosie din noua colectie Tom Tailor pentru aceasta locatie. Stiam ca pe seara se lasa frigul si mai stiam ca rosul o sa arate genial in acest peisaj, 2 in 1.

Vestea buna acum vine. Tom Tailor organizeaza si un concurs in care puteti castiga geaca potrivita stilului vostru si este un concurs in care domnii nu sunt neglijati fiindca se adreseaza tuturor. Va las imediat link-ul unde va puteti inscrie si sa stiti ca va tin pumnii. Sper ca cineva din comunitatea mea sa castige, mwuhahaha ♥ Trebuie sa accesati acest link ( Click on it: https://stay-warm.tom-tailor.ro/) si o sa ajungeti direct pe pagina de concurs.

Va tin pumnii si don’t forget to STAY WARM!

Kisses, M ♥
