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 ♥

I was wearing:

Jeans: Agolde, Cardigan: Lynne, Bag: Reserved, Phone Case: Velante, Sunglasses: Chloe, Boots: Tezyo

Hi loves,

Vogue might say it’s the September issue, but it was just for the pictures I have prepared for you a super coll wishlist with summer essentials, especially if you’re planning a cool holiday, no matter the destination.

As you might already know, I am planning a trip to Greece and I just want to cutest and comfiest but mostly the most instagramable outfits! You know me! Everything that I buy should look nice in the pictures ♥ Regardless my reasons for buying items, my suggestions are also timeless. These pieces are not the kind that you’ll have to change by the season.

So without further ado, I just hope you’ll enjoy and get inspired with this post. I have prepared a small selection of dresses, accessories, swimsuits, shoes, bags and believe me, you can find some more items but you’ll have to take your time and browse the website because there are some gorgeous things that will make you want to buy them all!

Wish you all a new wonderful week.

Kisses, M ♥

5. Loeffler Randall Wrap Sandals 6. Paloma Barcelo Sandals

You can’t go through summer without some super cool, sexy and colorful swimsuits. Who is with me? I lost track of their number, but maybe this passion is due to the fact that I was a professional swimmer for 12 years. I know, everything comes with an excuse when I do compulsive shopping but you’ll understand my reasoning once you’ll see them ♥ I am really curious to know how do you like them to be: one piece, two pieces, high waist, low waist, cut out?

It can be a party dress or a casual one, made out of silk, denim or cotton, it actually doesn’t matter because it will leave a feminine touch regardless your pick ♥

1. Charina Sarte blue Dress 2. Rhode Pink Dress 3. English Factory Ruffle Dress

Yellow Mania:

1. Stine Goya Jasmine Dress 2. Suboo Baloon Sleeve Dress 3. Sea Sleeve Ruffles Dress

When it comes to accessories, I simply cannot leave the house without my bag, this is a total MUST, a hat, during the summer is indeed essential and of course, some jewelries that can bring a lovely touch to your entire outfit. Did I ever mentioned that I have more than 30 hats? :)) I am not talking about bags and jewelries today. This is a story for another day ♥

Hi loves,

Last week I had the chance to attend for the first time the Creators Festival. If I am not wrong, it was the second edition and believe it or not, it was a pleasure to go there and meet so many people that are so amazing and creative.

Luana convinced me to go and I was a bit skeptical just because the weather was a bit moody that day and we also had a bit of rain, right before leaving to the festival. In the end, the decision was made and we took the risk, without having at least an umbrella :)) All in all, it was the right decision because the rain stopped minutes before our arrival and everything was just perfect.

We took some great pictures, we socialized, we had some fun and last but not least, we have created new memories.

I won’t keep you longer because I know that some of you are getting ready for Easter. I want to send all my good wishes to you and have a wonderful time with the dearest ones.

Last but not least, I will leave you the outfit details in the “I was wearing” section.

Kisses, M ♥

I was wearing:

Hat: Meli Melo

Jumpsuit: Femme Luxe

Oversized Blazer

Alexander Wang shoes

Nissa Backpack

IRO studded belt

Armani Sunglasses

Hi loves,

I wanted to share this outfit with you for a few days now but somehow my schedule was chaotic and I continued to postponed it from one day to another. You already know from my Instagram account that in the meantime I also made a change of look and my hair is not like this anymore but soon, I will take some shots with the new me and share them here too ♥

Going back to the outfit. It’s more like an experiment :)) I became addicted to Hoodies and I am trying to combine them in different ways in order to wear them as much as possible. Just to inform you, I bought 4 of them in different colors: Pink, grey, white & yellow :)) It really sounds like an addiction or maybe I was just a compulsively buyer!!

If you are interested in buying one, well the offer is quite large and you can find all the colors on brands like: Champion, Kenzo, Moschino.

And in the mean time I just found some great deals, meaning they have a super price and a nice discount ( no more than 40$ = @ 150 lei) on those from: Fila, Kappa and Levi’s.

And now, the shoes!!! You may find the outfit strange and there is no problem, I find it too!! But this is the main reason behind the ” Cinderella from the block”. The outfit is straight from the hood, but the sandals are from my favorite cartoon and there is no need to mention it again.

I know hers were made out of glass and mine are too: Plexiglass indeed, not as expensive and custom made, but I find them really precious and cute in the same time. I have to tell you that I felt the need to come with something super girlish in order to change the sport direction of the outfit.

I had the chance to buy the last pair (lucky me, they were my size) from Casadei, but you can find many other gorgeous pink sandals on Shopbop. Between all the shots, you’ll see one of me wearing sneakers too.

The ugly sneakers trend is still here to stay. Mine are from Balenciaga, but if you’re searching for a more afforadable version, just be sure to check Fila, Ash & Puma.

Last but not least, another addiction is the transparent bag. I wear it all the time and some might say it’s the only bag I own :)) Make sure you check the Staud collection because you’ll find this model on different colors and sizes. It’s a must to have a bag like this!!

So, I hope you find my outfit interesting at least, if not strange! Wish you all a wonderful day and I hope you’ll enjoy Spring.

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

Today I want to share with you a new outfit. It’s a bit casual/sporty and you did not saw me too often wearing such items, but Tom Tailor challenged me to tell you if there is some commitment that I have to make for myself and as a consequence this outfit was created to match it.

In this regard, first, I want to tell you that I will always want to smile. You already know this. I want to be happy, I want to share only positive vibes and last but not least, even during the hard times, a smile can change a lot. This is a commitment I want to make: Keep on smiling.

And to make my point, I decided to wear pink because it’s my happy color.

And when it’s a first, there is always a second. The casual/sport outfit was made because I also want to hit the gym again and keep it constant for at least a few months :)) And again, it’s related to the first aspect: Being active makes me happy. Looking good makes me happy. Being healthy makes me happy. And believe me, the list can continue.

But now, what makes you happy? Because you should remember to commit to yourself and put yourself first. There is a difference between resolutions and commitments especially when it comes to you. But then again, if you commit to yourself, you’ll slowly start to see the changes in every aspect of your life.

Last but not least, embrace who you are and love yourself the way you are. Not because I am saying this, but because we are all special in our own way and having a negative thinking will generate only frustrations.

Even more, Tom Tailor is having a really nice contest where you can win a really nice Jacket! You can enter it here: www.tom-tailor.ro/say-yes

Wish you all a lovely day and keep on smiling,

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

So today I decided to stay at home for a better recovery. I got a horrible flu and since I was in Milan for a  week, I kind of delayed some of the activities I had and all of them had to be done upon my return. This sounded great in theory but since I feel really weak, in practice didn’t went so well.

Going back to my subject for today, working at home is not that bad. I am in bed, with a big cup of tea beside me ( honey & lemon included) and I decided to share with you my top 14 pairs of Sunglasses. I picked the ones I am wearing the most, with prices from $10 up to $1000. I admit that some I consider them to be investments, while some are simply pairs that I adore and because they look good they find a place into my collection.

In the same note, I just want to share with you some great news. The Shopbop Sale of the season will be extended until 4th of March, so you will be able to enjoy discounts by up to 75% on the selected items.

You can either select pieces that will cost you around $30 or go big for designer items and make investments at super prices ♥

“GOBIG19” is also the code you should use before check out if you want to enjoy the extra 15%up to 25% discount.

So without any further ado, I will start presenting you my favorites:

1 . Linda Farrow Luxe Sunglasses

– I own two pairs: Extreme Narrow Cat Eye Sunglasses & Oversized Cat Eye Sunglasses

– These are considered to be an investment

-Worn by celebrities like: Beyonce, Rihanna, Meghan Markle, Kardashian Family and more

2.  Vogue Eyewear x Gigi Hadid

– As you can guess, Gigi Hadid is the image of this collection &  she was a co-designer for the models

– Price is moderate, around $140 for a pair

• I own 2 pairs: A pair of black classic cat eye sunglasses & a round shape pair

3. Meli Melo, Bershka & Zara

– Mass Market brands

– Affordable prices: Between $10 & $25

– Never have to worry about loosing or scratching them

4. Prada, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana

– Prada Aviator Sunglasses & Prada Baroque Round Sunglasses

– Miu Miu are full of sequins, shinning like the stars

– Dolce & Gabbana Printed Cat Eye Sunglasses that bring me a holiday Spirit ♥

– Prices are a bit higher than the ones for Vogue eyewear, but we are talking about premium & luxury brands.

– If you pick the shapes wisely, they will be considered also an investment that will remain wearable over the years.

Hi loves,

I had to post more about this press trip a while ago, but I was a bit busy and delayed it. It was an amazing experience, the second one for me with C&A in Dusselforf, for their AW18 collection.

As the last time, we were a really nice group: Bloggers, stylists and people from the biggest magazines in Romania. Sure, the same happened for the rest of the countries that took part at this amazing presentation, but nevertheless, for me, we were one of the most united groups there ♥

I have to thank Emanuel Iuhas for the invite and C&A for the amazing organization. I admit, this one was even better than the first Collection Room I attended last year! Congrats on you guys and I really look forward to see you next season too!

I have prepared a short slide with my favorite outfits from their new collection that will be available in stores & online starting with mid August. Beside the attendance at the Collection Room, we had also the chance to explore a bit the city and to create some memories once again. Ioana, we skipped our bubble waffle “tradition” :)).

I will leave you with the rest of the pictures and stay tuned, cause on Monday we leave for a new experience and I am thinking of creating also a new travel vlog ♥

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves ♥

V-am promis aceasta postare de Vineri, insa o raceala de primavara m-a tinut putin in loc si sincer, nu am facut decat sa dorm acest weekend, fiind efectiv super obosita.

Cu toate acestea, de astazi imi propun sa revin in forta si vreau sa va prezint top 6 produse din colectia de primavara/vara descoperite la evenimentul Sephora  si pe care le veti gasi cat de curand fie in magazinele fizice, fie online pe sephora.ro ♥ Cu siguranta o sa descoperiti mai multe produse extrem de bune si cool, insa eu v-am facut o selectie cu cele de care aveam nevoie sau cele potrivite necesitatilor mele si de care efectiv m-am indragostit!

Sper sa va fie utile informatiile si desigur sunt curioasa sa imi spuneti pe care ati dori sa le incercati si daca sunt potrivite necesitatilor voastre.

Va doresc o zi superba si o saptamana minunata!

Kisses, M ♥

1. Natural Face Make-up Palette de la Too Faced

Momentan nu este disponibila pe site-ul din Ro, insa pe sephora.com pretul este de 44$, undeva la 167 ron. Paleta contine 6 nuante pudrate dupa cum urmeaza: 2 highlights ( Starlight & Satin Sheets), 2 blushes ( Pink Wink & Pink Sand) & 2 bronzing veils ( Sunny Honey & Tropic like It’s Hot). Ce m-a atras, pe langa designul extrem de dragut este ca formula nu contine gluten si parabeni ♥

Pe langa un finish minunat, este potrivita pentru toate nuantele de piele.

2. Youth to the people: Kale + Green Tea Spinach Vitamins Cleanser

Youth to the people este un brand nascut in California ce foloseste extracte din plante presate la rece cu scopul de a crea produse de curatare, hidratare si revitalizare.

Gelul de curatare pe care l-am incercat are in compozitie dupa cum ati putut vedea si pe ambalaj, extract de varza Kale, spanac si ceai verde. Este perfect pentru toate tipurile de ten si foarte important, nu usuca pielea dupa curatare. Este esential sa avem un ten curat si sa eliminam orice urma de fard de pe fata, de aceea va recomand sa acordati mare atentie atunci cand alegeti un gel de curatare, fiindca in timp, superficialitatea o sa se vada pe piele din pacate.

Il gasiti deja pe sephora.ro la un pret de 135 lei si va invit sa cititi si cele 2 review-uri, pentru un plus de convingere ♥

3. FrankBody coffe lip scrub

Recunosc: acesta este primul scrub de buze pe care l-am folosit ever.

Cand aveam buzele uscate, foloseam mereu un balsam hranitor pentru buze si credeam ca asta rezolva problema. Apoi, daca nu ma usturau, nici prin gand nu imi trecea ca as avea nevoie de un gomaj…. don’t ask me why.

Insa, daca si voi aveti probleme cu uniformizarea rujurilor in momentul aplicarii, va recomand sa incercati acest scrub. Elimina pielea uscata si celulele moarte, lasand astfel buzele moi si catifelate. Iar apoi, va spun, rujurile o sa se aseze mult mai bine si nuantele o sa se vada superb pe buze.

Este recomandat sa il folositi de 2 ori pe saptamana. Eu il folosesc inainte de aplicarea machiajul, dupa care folosesc un balsam de buze pe care il las sa actioneze pana cand ajung la ruj ♥ Pretul este de 57 lei si este deja disponibil pe sephora.ro.

4. Becca Hydra Mist Set & Refresh Powder

Dintre toate produsele prezentate astazi, trebuie sa va spun ca acesta este preferatul meu. Este vorba de o noua pudra de la Becca ce are in compozitie 50% apa. In momentul aplicarii, veti simti instant efectul fresh si racoritor, lasand ulterior tenul matasos si revitalizat.

Este ideal pentru toate tipurile de ten si se potriveste oricarei nuante de piele, fiind o pudra translucida.

Pe tenul meu a rezistat extrem de bine, insa pentru un refresh, il puteti aplica din nou pe parcursul zilei fiindca nu incarca machiajul.

Produsele Becca se gasesc in Sephora din Baneasa Mall, momentan aceasta pudra nu este si pe site-ul din ro, insa vine la un pret de aproximativ 144 lei.

In paralel cu aceasta pudra, eu o folosesc si pe cea de la Urban Decay, Velvetizer. Ador finisul super fin si catifelat lasat de aceasta si o puteti mixa si cu fondul de ten, pentru un finish mat dar si pentru o acoperire mai mare ♥

Daca ma intrebati care imi place mai mult? Raspunsul o sa fie ambele. Depinde foarte mult ce rezultat imi doresc sa obtin atunci cand ma machiez si asa voi alege si produsul pe care urmeaza sa il aplic!

5. Sephora Starter Brush Set

Sunt 5 la numar, super cute si mai mult decat atat, sunt ROZ ♥ Sunt 3 pensule pentru fata utile in aplicarea anticearcanului, a pudrei si a blush-ului, o pensula pentru fardul de ochi si inca o pensula pentru aplicarea produselor destinate sprancenelor. In plus, vin insotite de un portfard dragut in care le veti putea tine cand plecati in vacante!

Nu le-am gasit online pentru a va spune un cost estimativ, insa banuiesc ca o sa fie disponibile cat de curand ♥

6. Sol de Janeiro: Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ♥

Dumnezeule, cum poate sa miroasa aceasta crema!!! Cu extract de guarana, crema de corp braziliana Bum Bum este imbogatita cu cantitati egale de unt cupuaçu extraodinar de hidratant (inrudit cu arborele de cacao), acai puternic antioxidant si ulei de cocos ultra-hidratant, pentru a obtine o piele cu un aspect irezistibil.

Se absoarbe extrem de repede in piele, este foarte hranitoare si nu lasa acel aspect gras pe piele ♥

Eu am varianta mica, de 75ml, care din pacate nu este disponibila pe site-ul din Ro, insa o puteti gasi pe sephora.com la un pret de 20$, iar pentru varianta mare de 240 ml, veti plati 45$.

V-am spus cat de bine miroase?? ♥

Hi loves,

It’s been a while since we last had snow at the begging of March. As far as we all know, spring is here, we should have seen flowers at every corner of the street and our outfits… well should not include faux fur coats.

Nevertheless, what is a winter without snow, even if it came a bit late? Taking this into consideration, I decided not to be sad, even if I am not such a big fan of the winter + the snow and enjoy it at the fullest while wearing a colorful outfit that can brighten my day ♥ It seems that I’ve made the perfect decision because many of you sent me pictures of your colorful outfits on Instagram and in the same time I brought some smiles on the streets, which was the most desired outcome.

Also, if you can imagine during the day I wore this outfit, I was really grumpy ’cause I had to go out from the house and participate to an event. Is not about the activity, because this is what I enjoy the most, but during that day the weather got even worst and it was really cold. Just imagine how comfy and cozy I was at home before leaving it!! But in the end, I had a wonderful day, I had the chance to meet wonderful people, to discover some new things in the beauty area and also to spend some time with my lovely friend, Oana ♥

I think that some of those wonderful days come when you expect them the less and we should start every single day with a positive state of mine and seek the advantages in everything around us!

Last but not least, I want to remind you about the big sales you can enjoy for two more days on my favorite website. You can check it HERE or simply click on the following picture to get designer items with up to 75% discount.

Wish you all a wonderful weekend,

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

In my previous post I was talking about pink being my happy color, but since I last wore yellow, I have second thoughts :)) You just have to look at these pictures and I hope that they will bring a smile on your face, not because of me for sure, but because the of colors I am wearing.

Today I want to share more news with you about the new Andra Oprea collection of bags, backpacks and bumbags. But first, beside the new collection, you have to check also the products on sales because it’s like one of a kind chance to buy this amazing and unique products at a really good price. I am saying this because she doesn’t really use to give 40% discounts, so hurry up and you might get the chance to get yours.

But, if you want to enjoy the summer colors, check the New Collection cause it’s fabulous. I know Andra for a while now and when she first showed me the colors she want to use, I was completely in love with this yellow one. Ok, I admit I had an instant crush on the pink one, but the yellow Muse is a must have too.

Let me know which one is your favorite ♥

And now, let’s talk a bit about the outfit. I have in my wardrobe a lot of stripes in different colors but when I was searching for some new items on Zaful, I just realized that I don’t have the white/green combination while looking at this skirt and I immediately added in the cart. Basically, the blouse came to complete the outfit, cause I usually like to buy the items I just need for sure and I already know with what I am going to combine, or as in this case, I like to order an entire outfit, beside the bag and the shoes because well, with them I have a special affair

And because my orders never come with just one single item/outfit, I just added another stripped item that I am planning to show you this Friday. So stay tuned because I am going to show you what else I ordered from Zaful, an amazing online shopping website, with a huge variety of clothing and not only.

P.S.: since I am a maniac and when I like something I tend to overreact, these are the items of my first order and a second one is also on the road I do plaid guilty!!

Well, well, is time to say good bye until next time! Wish you all a wonderful day and don’t forget to order something in your spare time, but also remember that your credit card has a limit

Kisses, M ♥
