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,

Last week I wore this snake print dress from Jessica Buurman and I felt amazing in it. But while editing, I started asking myself if snake print is still a thing?

If you’re asking yourself the same questions, well, snake print is a major trend this year. So yes, you can still wear it as you wish and feel fabulous in it ♥

And as for today, I want to share the new Sales that are going on. Shopbop  ( you can click on the website name to be directed straight to the sales) gives you extra discounts on the items that are already on Sale and thus, you can get up to 70% less for your favorite designer items. I have some items added on my wishlist, but sadly, this time nothing is on sale, but still, I will place my order with 3 of my favorite pairs of sunglasses :)) You may think it’s too much, but well, I am trying at least to stay away from the shoes. And believe me, I also have a few that I want and I could have used the discount code: SCORE19

I will let you explore the wonderful items on the website and I will leave now because I have an order to place :))

If you’re wondering, here are the pairs I want: Balenciaga Sunglasses, YSL Sunglasses, Versace Sunglasses ♥ Different yet catchy ♥

Wish you a lovely day,

Kisses, M ♥

Sometimes…

You have to understand that life is not perfect, it doesn’t bring you only the best experiences and it gets you through all kind of challenges. This is life, bitter & sweet at the same time.

But with all these, in life we need to learn from our mistakes. They are not easy, sometimes we get hurt on the process, but I’ve heard a good one recently: “There is either a win or a learning, never a defeat”. Nothing can get you down except yourself.

During my bad times, I have learned that I have to be strong, to keep on hoping and  to never lose my smile. Life is easier when you see it in pink and when you find the strength to smile and always think that tomorrow you have the chance to fight again against anything that disappointed you.

Be a better person and encourage the ones around you to do the same. I always had compassion and I wanted to help people as much as I can. Don’t get into that negative mindset and don’t tell yourself that people will get advantage of your kindness. They will anyway… but at least you can always get an idea of whom you must surround yourself by.

You may not find a direct connection between my words and the pictures, but there is one. For the first time in my outfit posts, I find beauty in these dark pictures, where you can barely see my face, but you can see the hope behind me. Pink always makes me smile and brings me a positive vibe. It’s been a hard period for me, nothing really bad happen, it was mainly a problem with myself… but I always tried and I will continue to see the bright side.

I hope you’ll have a perfect week and please, don’t forget to be kind because there are enough bad things in this world!

Kisses, M ♥

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,

So, yesterday I gathered all my strengths and went outside to take some new pictures. I wanted for a while now some pictures with the snow and I decided it was about time to take some action since it was snowing for two days already and the city was all white.

It seemed like a good idea at the moment, but it didn’t last too long taking into consideration the fact that we also had a strong wind and I literally froze during those 10 minutes that I stayed outside the car.

Nevertheless, my mission was accomplished and I succeeded in taking some great pictures that don’t need an extra photoshop filter in order to add some extra snow flakes.

The only regret I have with this snow is that I was not able to wear my new Aquazzura shoes that arrived 3 days ago, right before the snow started to fall. But in a brighter note, since the day after tomorrow Spring will be officially in charge for the weather, I have a surprise Spring Sale for you:

Hi loves,

I know it’s been a while since my latest outfit post, but I finally managed to take some new pictures and here I am. The funny thing, is that I noticed the previous outfit had also denim and yellow… I think I might have made a new color combo addiction

It is available only on My Instagram Account (manuelalupascu) and you have just 2 simple rules to follow ♥ So if you like the backpack and you want to have it in your wardrobe, just go on instagram, find the pictures and be sure you enter.

Another surprise is the fact that I am preparing for you a new video on youtube ♥ You will find out how I am obtaining the perfect curls. I know you were asking me this for a while already, but you will no longer have to wait. Just a few days

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!

The 4th day of Milan Fashion Week and it was about time to write about it. I have to tell you that I am already back home in Bucharest but I still have so many outfits to show you and I cannot decide which one I loved the most. Everytime I see a picture with a new outfit I am saying: Oh, this one is my favorite!! But actually this happens to each of them.

So, for this day I wanted to pick a simple and casual outfit, yet, the gold accessories and the statement blazer changed the entire outfit at 360 degrees. I was literally shinning in the sun that covered the entire city for the first time this season in Milan. We had a great day and we just started with the Ermanno Scervino fashion show, for which I had to thank to the Ranevents agency for giving us the invite because it was my favorite and every piece from their collection is a must have for sure.

We continued the day with a glass of wine with almost the entire Romanian crew that was present in Milan, right before going back home to change our outfits. It’s amazing how great it is to share so many experiences with the people I already knew and for sure Deea is one of a kind partner. You just can’t imagine how much fun we had, how many great experiences we had together and also, I know I am a bit difficult sometimes but she understands me every single time. This is why I love you babe ♥

Ok, so we changed up and the rest of the story of our day 4 will be continued tomorrow in a new post together with my next outfit ♥

I hope you enjoy the pictures, the story and the outfit and just check the following section to see what I was wearing.
