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,

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,

Today I am not wearing anything elegant or girlish and I am more on a casual mood while wearing a co ords ( tee & trousers set) from Femme Luxe, while jumping around in my new pair of Dr. Martens boots on white ( Jadon 8 Eye boots).

I think these boots became a must have last year and they continued to be present in the outfits during every single season:

• you wear a summer dress? add some Martens
• you’re on your winter holiday? wear them too
• Autumn is coming? add a pair of boots while wearing some skinny jeans and that oversized blazer
• Spring? You can still wear them :))

Having this in mind, you can understand why I own 2 pairs of the same model, but in different colors, right? My first pair is on cherry red , now I have them in white too and actually I am thinking that black is missing and soon they will be ordered too :)) ( P.S.: Click on the color and you’ll be directed straight to them)

I have mine from Shopbop ( both pairs) and I have to tell you that if you leave, mainly, in Europe or better said you’re used with the European sizes, you should pay attention to sizing because they are listed in US sizes. I’ve made a small mistake and ordered the first boots with half size bigger, but to be honest I kept them because I felt comfortable in them. There is no problem with the return policy, actually it’s really easy but maybe I was a bit lazy and decided to keep them like that.

The second one came in the right size and as an example, I am normally wearing 38 and the right size for me is 7! Hope this can help you.

And now, since I own 2 and I am going for 3 pairs soon, it’s more than obvious that I LOVE the Dr Martens boots. I am really curious, what you think about them? I know they are chunky and they might not be on everyone’s taste, but who can give them a try?

This is it for today and I wish you a lovely week ( It’s actually the last week of summer so you should better make the most of it).

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

I was lucky enough to take this shots yesterday when the weather was quite acceptable and the wind was moderate.

What happened today?

I woke up and I saw on my window that everything is now covered in white. Don’t get me wrong, I love this season and even more, I bet I will take some cool shots in the snow. But somehow, I love it from my window, while I am staying on my couch covered in the most fluffiest and warm blanket.

Since this is usually impossible, I decided to take the fluffiest and warmest Coat ever. Even more, it has a nice message too: Dream. Beside the fact that I love to sleep ( When I have the chance), I am also a daydreamer so I really find myself in this word. Now, I am curious what how will you describe yourself in only one word?

Anyway, you can wear it both as a coat with a sweater or a blouse, but also as a hoodie, if you’ll stay in a chilly place. My only advice is to wear it with caution cause it can get dirty really fast ( I always throw something on me or touch something when I am wearing white) & also if you’ll stay in a really warm place, it will be a bit too warm in it.

If you are curious, I have it from Jessica Buurman and you can find similar ones in Black & Green too.

Wish you all a wonderful day and try to stay away from the flu.

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

This is just a super fast outfit post. I am also preparing my bags because tomorrow I live in a short press trip and I have only 5 hours left until I have to actually….wake up. If it will be the case of a nap!

I just had this pictures for a few days now with a white and blue outfit that I love and since I will be off for 2-3 days, I thought that this might be the proper time to show it to you.

As you can see, it feels almost like summer in the city and this outfit makes me think about holidays already, but I have to wait 2 more months until our trip to Barcelona. But in the meantime, we all enjoyed a short break and thus, this outfit was perfect for the days that had passed.

In any case, you’ll find direct links as I already used you in the “I was wearing” section, but before that I want to share with you some tips:

1. So, first of all, for the Linda Farrow sunglasses, Michael Kors bag & many other designer items, they have a surprise sale on the website, so it might be in your interest to check it out and enjoy some great discounts: By up to 70% discount on the already discounted items. Click on the items or Here for a direct link.

2. For the NA-KD orders, you can use my personal code if you are interested in a 20% discount. Simply add ” Manuelal20″ before checkout. ♥

This is it. I hope you’ll enjoy some smart shopping!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

I know that the title can suggest you that I am rushing a bit the holiday spirit, but believe, me it comes with a special purpose. I love the Holidays, but I have all that mess that comes before it. Everybody tries to find the perfect gift for the loved ones, you barely have space into the stores to look clearly at the products and most of them are already sold out by the time.

So, here I am in mid November, suggesting you what to buy for Christmas and the most easiest way is to buy them online. I have tried to find the best solutions for different kind of persons, from mom & dad, to sister & brother, for your best friend, for a coworker that you don’t really know, but you have to be his Secret Santa or even to your beloved puppy ♥

There are many ideas, I have some of them here, but for sure, you can also check the website for some more: accessories, clothing, shoes, bags, home deco and so on.

So, without any further due, I will leave you my Holiday Gift Guide and I just hope they will inspire you.

Wish you all a wonderful week!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

Pentru astazi v-am pregatit doua tinute potrivite pentru toamna. Vreau sa va arat cat de versatile sunt piesele alese de mine din noua colectie RESERVED de toamna/iarna, ce are ca tema in acest sezon minimalismul exclusiv inspirat din anii ’80 si ’90.

Daca va doriti sa investiti in ceva acest sezon, ei bine, piesele din tartan sunt must have si nu trebuie sa va lipseasca. Pe langa hainele de blana & denim, jachetele biker de piele si rochiile din dantela in stil victorian, piesele vestimentare din tartan vin in completarea si realizarea unei colectii perfecte, ce satisface preferintele tuturor.

Cand vine vorba de accesorii, gulerele supradimensionate din blana artificiala, cizemele & botinele cu toc jos (“kitten heels”) si pielea lacuita ce se regaseste sub diverse forme, nici acestea nu lipsesc. Per total, o colectie completa, ce reuneste toate piesele esentiale si must have ale sezonului, pe care le-am putut admira pe cele mai cunoscute podiumuri de moda, dar de data aceasta la preturi accesibile.

Inspiratia mea a pornit de la costumul cu print tartan. Ceva clasic, ce puteti purta cu siguranta la birou si se incadreaza intr-o tinuta office, dar am decis sa aduc un mic twist contemporant, prin asocierea tricoului cu print Looney Tunes si a botinelor kitten keels intr-o nuanta vibranta de rosu metalizat.

Fiindca piesele sunt extrem de versatile, va voi prezenta si a doua varianta de tinuta, ce am obtinut-o schimband doar perechea de pantaloni cu una sport, aducand astfel o nota casual, perfecta pentru activitatile de zi cu zi.

Voi ati investit pana acum in piesele cu imprimeu tartan? Sunt curioasa care este tinuta voastra preferata, eu sincer, nu ma pot decide intre cele doua, fiindca ma reprezinta in egala masura.

Toate produsele se regasesc atat in magazinele RESERVED cat si online AICI, inclusiv accesoriile: botinele, geanta si inelele.

Sper sa va placa sugestiile mele

O zi superba,

Kisses, M ♥
