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 back with another outfit post! I admit, this kind of posts are my favorite but somehow I promised myself that from now on I will also start posting more about other topics too, like: beauty, skincare, shopping, travel & adventures! If this comes into your interest, I will be more than happy to receive some suggestions from you and to be able to provide something that will be helpful and fun to read in the same time!

Going back to our today’s topic, I am wearing a mix of summer/beginning of autumn outfit because the weather was a bit moody lately and I admit that it was a bit hard for me to find the most suitable outfit!

In fact, the only autumn outfit was the blazer but you know… a bit of drama never hurt nobody!

The center piece of this outfit, oh well, my newest acquisition when it comes to shoes ♥ Officially, I present you my second pair of Jacquemus shoes. I know that for some of you, this pair of sandals can be hard to digest but you also know that I usually go for not the usual shoes :)) I have only one pair of stiletto and some other “normal” pairs, but mostly I have shoes that can take the spotlight And I bet you want to know the fact that right now they have a super discount. Even bigger than the one I enjoyed ( Yes, I am jealous right now), meaning somewhere around 65% Discount!!

Also, have you noticed my pair of denim shorts? I was hunting the Agolde jeans for a while now and since the long one were sold out, I decided to go for the short ones! My mistake was to order them in a bigger size than needed but I was so enthusiastic to finally have my hands on a pair that I decided to not make a return!

What can I say, so me! Somehow, I hate to make returns. I always do my best to order them correctly and to place the orders only if I am 100% sure I want something! I think it’s fair enough for everybody, right? And one of my fav online shop when it comes to designer brands and must have pieces is Shopbop ♥

Another premiere is me wearing this kind of hat :)) don’t get me wrong, I love hats, I have plenty but this bucket hat is the first one I decided to buy and actually wear! I find it hilarious and a bit funny but being normal it’s overrated( she said in her defense)!

But the overall outfit looks really interesting, don’t you think?! Something basic, something catchy and something different!  It brings me ghat Power Puff Girls vibe: sugar, spice and everything nice hahaha!

And now, some other great news!! You can use my code “Manuela30” for 30% discount on Mohito website. It’s available for full price items ONLY and it can be used until this Sunday ♥

With all this being said, good discounts, smart shopping, don’t spend all the money :))

That’s all for today and as usual, I will leave all the details and links for the items in the “I was wearing” section!

Wish you all a wonderful day!

Kisses, M

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.

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,

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 ♥

Alevi Milano – Giada Sandals

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 ♥

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,

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 ♥

Hi loves,

I just got back from Milan and if you follow me on Instagram you already know my adventures this season. Because I wasn’t able to share with you all the details about my outfit I will post here some of the ones I wore. I will also make a Part 2 with the other outfits & a Part 3 with the shows I had the chance to attend.

But all these in one post I think it’s a bit too much so that’s why I split the information.

Beside the outfits, today I want to share with you also the greatest sales of the month on Shopbop. Meaning, you can get 25% discount on full price items and also more than 75% discount on the sale items. Isn’t it GREAT?!

This means that some of the items I am going to show you will be at a super price. You should hurry because some of the items, fastly get out of stock.  BTWm don’t forget to use the “GOBIG19” code before checkout. This is how you’ll get the discounted price ( the one you’ll see on the website is not the final price).

The good news is that only a few products are excluded from this, but in the end you can enjoy discounts at brands like: Chanel from What goes around Comes Around, Linda Farrow, Jacquemus, Marc Jacobs, Golden Goose, Cult Gaia, Moschino and many others.
