Hi loves,

We can say, officially, that Spring is here and it’s here for good. Sun is up, weather is perfect and I just want to absorb as much vitamin D as possible :)) but in the mean time, I have some work to do that keeps me at home and this can mean only one thing: from time to time I take so breaks to drink some water maybe… and search new items online :)).

So, let’s go straight to the main topic of today: Shopping ♥

First things first, we have discounts by up to 25% on full price items, meaning NEW COLLECTIONS!! They just hit the stores and you can already enjoy a discount on them because it’s SPRING SALE on Shopbop by using the code: SPRING before checkout.

This code is valid until 09.03.2020, 4a.m. Easter Time ( New York) Zone and please remember that some brands are excluded from the promo.

I’ve made some selections and because I can’t have them all, I will share my wishlist with you. BTW, I’ve made some nice outfits for different colors.

BLUE

• yes, it’s the official color of the year. I normally don’t have so many blue items, but now I can clearly see the beauty of this color ♥ It brings me clean, fresh vibes by making me think of the essentials in this world: Sky & water.
• Jacquemus is one of my fav brands when it comes to Spring/Summer outfits. I simply adore it. Nevertheless, I own just one pair of shoes and I want some more :))

Espadrilles: SALUDOS, Midi Dress: CAPULET, Hat: HAT ATTACH

Yellow

•  This is not necesseraly my favorite color, but for sure it’s my happy color. It gives me summer vibes, the entire outfit makes me think of all the wheat fields and last but not least the sun.
• I have an addiction for hats, this is not something new for you and I have a small collection of straw hats too. I love the flowers printed ribbon and as a tip, you can also add different kind of printed scarfs to change the look of only one hat ♥

Jeans: ULLA JOHNSON, Lace Top: FOR LOVE AND LEMONS, Sandals: LOEFFLER RANDALL

THIS IS JUST A COOL OUTFIT

• Lace, denim and some precious sandals? Yes please.
• I love how elegant and romantic pieces can be combined with denim. It looks different and it has something special. Nothing new, but still desirable.
• Gold, white and khaki. I think they go so well together and from my point of view, this outfit needs only a few more gold accessories. Depending on your preferences, some  bracelets or even a few fine necklaces can be added.

Sandals: JEFFREY CAMPBELL, Pink Suit: STAUD ( Pants & Blazer), Bag: BY FAR

PINK

• I kept this outfit/color for now, because the best will come last :)) Pink is indeed my favorite color. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love them all, but this one has something special.
• as you can see, this pair of sandals is similar to the blue one. I love the heel and I bet that they are super comfy. Also they bring me some Bottega Veneta vibes, which is not something bad, on the contrary, they are affordable and super chic.
• you don’t need to be the pink Panther to own a pink suit. Even more, try to wear one with shorts and made out of rayon. Changes ♥

Hi loves,

Some may say that we don’t need a reason to celebrate love, but I do consider that nowadays, when we are always on the run, we should take a moment to breath and take advantage of every occasion that comes. I do agree, love should be celebrated everyday, but honestly, I think this is happening only in movies and fairy tales, because we are always busy, always doing something and sometimes we even forget about our small pleasures in life.

If there are men around, don’t get me wrong, the first suggestion is especially made for you. If you want her to share the same passions as you do, in this case it might be soccer, at least make her love the game :)) A custom soccer ball, may be the key to success, Rihanna knows it well :)) Oh, and if you actually have in mind to buy it, it’s a preowned bag from Louis Vuitton and you can find it on Shopbop ♥

So, with no further ado, I will share with you some gift ideas and don’t forget: sometimes, the best gift you can receive is the one you give yourself.

Since, jewelries are some of the most inspired gifts :)) I will start with a small selection and I am really curious to know which one you like the most?! ♥ Nevertheless, if these are not your type, you can always find a large variety of earrings, necklaces & rings in the Jewelries section.

1. Elizabeth Cole 2. Shashi 3. Eliou 4. Rachel Comey 5. Eliou

Moving on, let’s talk about Shoes. My favorite topic of them all ♥. If someone doesn’t know my size, don’t forget I`m wearing EU38 :)). I do believe that everyone know their loved ones shoe size, so this can be a super cool gift idea too.

In my case, I have stopped counting them, but I can always make some space for one more :))

I’ve made special collages and we will have: Sneakers, Sandals & Flats perfect for summer:

My Fav pair of them all. I have a crush and I am seriously thinking to make a new acquisition ♥

Moving on, here is a Home & Gifts small selection of goodies. You can find a good and inspirational book if fashion is a passion, some jewelries cases and why not, a cute passport holder ♥

At the end of the previous month, as you might already know from my Instagram Account ( @manuelalupascu), I traveled to Lisbon, Portugal. What started as a one day trip, ended up in a night + 2 more since it was the first time ever I and traveled to this city.

So, this post will be divided in two parts and I will take them in a chronological way and guess what?! I will start by complaining the fact that I had a white night before the flight and it ended in the same note, making them 2 white nights in the end. From Bucharest to Lisbon you have only one option for departure & arrival if you want a direct and fast flight. This means you’ll fly from Bucharest to Lisbon at 6 a.m. ( imagine you have to be at 4 a.m. in the airport) and you’ll come back with a flight at 23:10 and  arrive in Bucharest at 5 a.m..

But once you arrive in Lisbon, every “sacrifice” will worth. During our first day, we had to attend the C&A event where we got a preview of their ss19 collection. I will later on attach some pictures from their fashion show and I am sure that you’ll find some amazing items that will become a must have, once they hit the stores, even more because they have a really good price/quality ration + a great design that suits different tastes.

Everything started with a socializing moment on the terrace of the Tivoli hotel. One glass of prosecco, two pictures with the amazing view we had, some appetizers an we were ready to go to the venue to continue our experience. From the hotel to the final location, we had the opportunity to travel by tuc tuc and the driver was passionate enough to tell us stories about the amazing Lisbon history. I have to tell you that I love to travel, but I love even more to discover more specific things about the city I have the chance to see. Is not always only about the Instagram pictures but also about knowledge and culture I have the chance to develop.

I have to admit, that this year, the setup was unusual but amazing at the same time. We had an improvised waterfall, a lot of burning candles, nature and a dramatic light that covered the entire room. Once the show started, I have tried to captured the best outfits ( the ones I loved the most) but also to enjoy the entire atmosphere and believe it or not, it was extremely difficult.

As for our extra days, we managed to visit some of the major tourist attractions. I will leave you here with some pictures & also, I have created a short vlog for you to see more. I think I must get used to the filming activity and to introduce myself more in the video :)) But well, since it’s more like a travel vlog, I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

Mini vacanta s-a incheiat si am revenit in forta. Desi in my job description nu exista “zile libere” am decis sa iau o scurta pauza si sa ma relaxez putin inainte de luna Septembrie cand totul o sa inceapa in viteza.

Nu pot spune ca am putut sta prea mult si in aceste zile v-am pregatit doua tinute noi pe care le puteti gasi si voi in magazinele Tom Tailor. Produsele fac parte dintr-o colectie speciala, mai exact cea realizata in colaborare cu Naomi Campbell.

Brandul Tom Tailor nu este la prima astfel de colaborare cu celebrul top model, poate stiti deja acest lucru din postarile mele mai vechi, semn ca produsele sunt extrem de dorite si placute. Va pot spune sincer, aceasta colectie este preferata mea de pana acum datorita culorilor pe care au ales sa le foloseasca in realizarea acesteia.

Veti vedea mai jos despre ce vorbesc: o fusta superba plisata in 3 culori ♥ o rochie cu imprimeu floral ♥ un tricou simplu alb, cu un mesaj simplu dar de efect fiind realizat din perlute cusute… simply ” Love” it ♥  Puteti gasi mai multe produse din aceasta colectie atat in magazinele fizice dar si online pe www.tom-tailor.eu. It’s up to you: O vizita la mall sau shopping online! Indiferent de alegere, varietatea de piese o sa va incante: bluze, tricouri, rochii, fuste & pantaloni.

Va las cu alegerile mele si sunt curioasa care este preferata voastra?

Saptamana minunata va doresc,

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

For today I have probably the last outfit post of the year and as an extra, I want to share with you the final sales of the year. You cannot missed this event and enjoy it.

As the Christmas requires, I bet you had the chance to spend a lot of money to buy the presents for the dearest ones. But, I always used to spend them with moderation and buy what they really want and need, because I always plan to spend also some money after the Holidays, because every year, each brand and website plan to offer some final sales that are really impossible to refuse.

So, this time, you can gen up to 75% discounts, by using the code “JOY25” on all the already discounted items on my favorite website. While I am writing you this post, I also search the website to find my perfect new items at super good prices and already had a wishlist, that you’ll find at the end of this post.

If you’re IN for some shopping, hurry up, most of the items are immediately sold out since they are so desirable. Anyway, you can check the website HERE and let me know if you have some favorites.

Beside the great sales, here you have another outfit post, that was promised a while ago. Pink? Yes please. I have this fluffy jacket, the shoes and a cute pink bag. You can find all the items in the I was wearing section.

Many of you asked me about the shoes already on my Instagram account. I have them from the website I was talking about and got them at a great discount, on their previous sales. Giuseppe Zanotti is for sure my favorite shoes designer and everytime I have the chance, for sure I pick one of his designs.

Another item that was highly appreciated is the pink fluffy jacket. It keeps me really warm during these cold winter days and it’s also really eye catching. For this item, you can go on Na-Kd.com and find it also on red, if you think pink is a bit too much for your style.

With all these being said, I won’t keep you longer here and invite you to enjoy the second day of Christmas and also to enjoy some shopping before the New Year’s Eve.

Have a wonderful day,

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

For today I had in plan to post another outfit post, but then I suddenly received an email with this info. I have to admit, I fist made some shopping and I bought a new pair of pink Giuseppe Zanotti sneakers. If you’re asking, yes, I have another similar pair, but since it’s similar, it means it’s not the same so there is enough place for another ♥

So, as you can see in the first picture, there are discounts up to 70% on all the products available on the website, including the ones from designer boutique! That’s mainly why I had to buy my sneakers first, because these items are always sold out first.

All you have to do is to enter the code MORE17 before checkout, code that will be redeemable starting at 7AM Eastern Time (New York) Tuesday the 21^st through November 26^th.

Hi loves,

Even if it’s Saturday night, surprisingly I am at home editing pictures and preparing this post for you ♥ I admit, once the Autumn has felt its presence, I became a bit cozy and most of the weekends are spent at home in pj’s. I think I get to “explore” the city a lot during the entire week and even if I like to party once in a while, I think that lately, going out during weekend nights became my latest interest.

Amyway, this is not the main topic I want to discuss today, because bags are more important My latest addiction is this Snapshot camera bag from Marc Jacobs and I can tell for sure that I am not the only one with this “issue”.

This bag is the new IT bag, being all over the internet. Many of you asked me from where it is and maybe you have been confused by it’s logo. Long story short, this is the new Marc Jacobs logo and as you can see it’s a double J & one of it is upside down. Nothing complicated, simple and chic from my point of view.

I have seen many color & textures suggestions for this bag on Shopbop and sadly, the one I wanted the most could not be delivered outside USA But you can see all the bags HERE.

The rest of the outfit was made around the bag: a sweatshirt with a funny logo on the back, a high waited denim skirt and a pair boots. Nothing complicated for a busy day.

You can find all the links to the items I am wearing on the next section as always.

Wish you all a wonderful Saturday night!

Kisses, M ♥

Good morning loves,

For today I have prepared my favorite Spring-Summer selection of items that are must haves during this period of the year. You know I use to share with you this kind of inspirational posts even more, when I discover some special sales and promotions.

As you might have guessed, Shopbop has the perfect sales again for 3 days only. The sale will last through 11:59PM Pacific Time (Los Angeles) Friday 4/14 and you should hurry up because the ” Most Wanted” items are becoming sold out really quick.

I find about it a bit earlier and I have to confess: I added something fast in my cart and I used again my card :)) All for a noble cause. I ended up with a new Marc Jacobs bag, a pair of DKNY espadrilles and a pair of Yohji Yamamoto sneakers that were on my wishlist for a while now ♥

There will be some brands excluded from this sale, some of the notable ones: Veronica Beard, Jonathan Simkhai, Acne Studios, Tumi, Michael Michael Kors, Michael Kors, Ray Ban, Gucci, What Goes Around Come Around, Canada Goose, Birkenstocks, Stuart Weitzman, Hanky Panky, Z Zegna, La Vie by Rebecca Taylor.

Brands with 1 or more items (but not entirely) excluded from the sale: Rag & Bone, IRO, Derek Lam 10 Crosby, Converse, Karen Walker, Tory Burch, Beyond Yoga, Free People, Nili Lotan, ALC, R13, IRO Jeans.

But even if there are some brands excluded, I am sure you’ll find something that you are really into even more because you can also you this discount code on the already discounted items, ending with more than 75% discount, which is kind of awesome For a faster search, be sure to check for the “Key Style” under each product picture and that is a valid product for the discount.

I can’t wait to see what are your favorite products from my wishlist and also I am really curious to see if you decided to pick something awesome for yourself.

Wish you all a wonderful day and enjoy shopping!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves!! Today I want to present you a different kind of outfit, in which a little black dress is included. You might have seen in combined with the classic stilettos, one strap sandals and all those lady like outfits, that are indeed great and perfect, but is always good to know that you have other options too and you can wear the same piece in both elegant and casual outfits with a twist.

I have to admit that it was love at first sight with this dress and I also seen it on red and I have a real crush on that version too. It will be perfect for the Christmas Holidays and not only. You can find them both on Stada Boutique together with many more items that you will love for sure. If you are going to ask me, the only hard decision you will have to make is related to which item to have ♥

So, what do you think about my interpretation? I hope you like it and don`t forget to invest in items that are timeless and also that can be combined in different ways!!

Kisses, M ♥
