gucci – Let's talk about fashion

Monthly Outfits: January

Manuella — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 11:06:35 +0000

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 ❤️

Winter is coming & Black Friday too

Manuella — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 19:11:41 +0000

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 ♥

Shopping, Sales & Designer Items

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 ♥

Autumn Sales & New Outfit

Manuella — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:59:17 +0000

Hi loves,

I just came back from Milan Fashion Week and I want to share with you one of the outfits I wore ( More posts with the rest of the outfits will come) and I will share with you some great news about discounts on my favorite online shopping destination ♥

So, for the first day I decided to wear a black and white outfit. It was actually a dress/cardigan with a skirt over it. You can say that I have a thing for this kind of styling and yes, I do. I love the way it looks and even if there is a lot of volume + some exaggerated long sleeves, the skirt helps in keeping a balance and accentuate the waist.

About the shoes, oh well, for the first time since I started to attend Fashion Weeks, I had only comfortable shoes with me. For example this pair of booties has chunky medium heels and I felt really great while wearing them, presenting no sign of feet pain. They come in white and black, but my decision was a bit oriented to the uncommon pick. Black boots are easier to match with almost any kind of outfits, but the white ones are more eye cathcing, don’t you think?

Both the outfit and the shoes are from the same website and I will leave you some direct links on the “I was wearing” section behind.

And moving on to the accessories, I wore a pretty basic bag, with silver studs on the strap. You don’t really see the studs due to the long sleeves but you can imagine them, hahah :D. It’s not that big, but it was spacious enough to hold my camera, phone, lipstick, wallet and the portable charger :)) Quite some space, I would say.

It’s time for THE sunglasses. Oh, my favorite pair of sunglasses ever from Linda Farrow. They would have cost a small fortune, but you know, sales are always a way to put your hand on some of the items you desire, but somehow you either cannot afford to buy them or you are not willing to pay a specific amount on that item.

And this is the moment when I let you know about the amazing sales going on Shopbop.You can enjoy 20% & 25% discounts on the full price items & also on already discounted ones where you’ll be able to get up to 70% discounts because you can accumulate them!!! Isn’t it great?

I admit, I will go and create my own selection after I finish this post, but not before leaving you here with some pictures of my outfit & a small selection of must have items from Shopbop (at the end of this post).

P.S.: You have to use the code “STOCKUP18” before checkout and you’ll see the discount applied immediately ♥

Kisses, M ♥

The unexpected Snow: Outfit +Sales

Manuella — Tue, 27 Feb 2018 12:10:24 +0000

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:

Sale details:

Start – Tuesday, February 27^th 2018 @ 7:00 AM EST
End – Saturday, March 3^rd 2018 @ 11:59 PM EST
Customers will qualify for the following tiers based on their order total:

o 15% off orders of $200+

o 20% off orders of $500+

o 25% off orders of $800+

Must use Code: GOBIG18 at checkout
Brand exclusions apply. Terms & conditions are the same for both Shopbop and East Dane

All in all, you can use the discount on full price items but also on discounted ones, being able to get in the end around 75% less on your final order, if you take into consideration the discounted price for some items. It’s a great deal and if are also interested in the Jacquemus shoes ( The yellow ones that I wore last during London Fashion Week), now is the time to get them at a super price. Find a Similar pair HERE.

You already know about Shopbop as being my favorite website and I rarely mentioned about East Dane. For those that did not catch the details about it, well I have to tell you it is as amazing as Shopbop, except the fact that it sells all the items needed for men.

I will let you enjoy shopping (check my wishlist at the end of the post) and I will also let you all the details about the outfit I wore yesterday while facing the winter madness :)).

Kisses, M ♥
