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,

For all the SUN & HATS lovers, am un mesaj de maxima importanta ♥

Luna aceasta, pana pe 16 August, in Sun Plaza puteti admira o superba expozitie de palarii realizate de Nita Sao in zona Atrium ( ca sa fiu mai precisa, vis-a-vis de Cora sau in zona scarilor rulante ce duc spre food court). Am surprins cateva din exponate, insa nu doresc sa va arat chiar tot pentru a pastra urma de suspans si curiozitate.

Cand vine vorba despre palarii, stiti ca nu ma pot abtine. Ador orice accesoriu de cap si mi se pare ca poate completa o tinuta sau ca ii poate aduce acel special touch. Ana Istodorescu este un om deosebit, plin de creativitate si da, este designerul din spatele palariilor Nita Sao cunoscuta si pentru fabulolasele palarii realizate pentru evenimentele Casei Regale. Forme atipice sau elegante, voalete sau palarii, vintage sau minimaliste. Toate produsele sunt realizate manual si cu siguranta o sa simtiti cum va introduc intr-o lume fascinanta.

De asemenea, pentru doritoare sau doritori, pana pe 31 August( exista si produse pentru domni, nu doar pentru doamne), in incinta centrului comercial, la etajul 1, este deschis si un pop-up store cu palarii si articole vestimentare ce poarta semnatura Nita Sao, pe care le puteti achizitiona. In cursul saptamanii, programul este de la 12:00-22:00, iar sambata si duminica de la 10:00-22:00 ♥

In plus, sa stiti ca Ana va poate oferi consiliere vestimentara si sfaturi despre cum puteti introduce palaria in tinutele voastre.

Cat despre mine, ador pur si simplu sa introduc palarii sau accesorii in tinutele mele astfel incat sa le ofer un twist simpatic. Nu tin cont de foarte multe reguli, poate cel mai mult ma intereseaza cum arata per total tinuta la final. Un alt sfat este sa nu purtati foarte mult tinute de vara in combinatie cu palarii din fetru pentru ca sunt putin cam groase in contrast cu o rochie vaporoasa spre exemplu.

And this being said, the sky is the limit ♥ Fell free to combine and to be creative pentru ca optiuni aveti nenumarate. Va las in cele ce urmeaza 3 propuneri de tinute si recunosc, pana acum nu am purtat turbane insa lucrurile o sa se schimbe :)) Pur si simplu le ador!

1. O zi calduroasa de vara, o tinuta galbena in ton cu soarele puternic si un turban haios care iti ofera o stare de bine instant. Sandale, o geanta incapatoare & I am ready for a new summer day ♥

2. Desi momentan scriu aceasta postare de pe terasa, tinuta ma duce cu gandul la plaja. O palarie cu boruri mari, o rochie vaporoasa si cam atat. Costumul de baie este pregatit, la fel si protectia solara. Sa imi pastrati un sezlong, viiin!

3. Last but not least, ma vad mergand la cina, undeva in Maroc. Fix acesta este feeling-ul pe care l-am avut cand m-am vazut in oglinda, imbracata in aceasta tinuta. Desi port tot un turban, forma este complet diferita de cel purtat la prima tinuta. Se preteaza extrem de bine pe o rochie eleganta, insa cu siguranta poate fi purtat si cu rochia alba vaporoasa.

Si ca sa inchei, nu uitati ca orice accesoriu va decideti sa purtati sau sa achizitionati, este foarte important sa fie versatil astfel incat investitia sa merite toti banii.

Daca ajungeti in Sun Plaza, astep sa vad care sunt palariile voastre preferate. Va garantez ca o sa fie dragoste la prima vedere ♥

Va doresc o Duminica fantastica!

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. I have prepared a small selection of dresses, accessories, swimsuits, shoes, bags and believe me, you can find some more items but you’ll have to take your time and browse the website because there are some gorgeous things that will make you want to buy them all!

Wish you all a new wonderful week.

Kisses, M ♥

1. Castaner Slide Sandals 2. Aquazzura Plateau Sandals 3. 3.1. Phillip Lim Espadrille 4. Chloe Goselin Platform Sandals

5. Loeffler Randall Wrap Sandals 6. Paloma Barcelo Sandals

You can’t go through summer without some super cool, sexy and colorful swimsuits. Who is with me? I lost track of their number, but maybe this passion is due to the fact that I was a professional swimmer for 12 years. I know, everything comes with an excuse when I do compulsive shopping but you’ll understand my reasoning once you’ll see them ♥ I am really curious to know how do you like them to be: one piece, two pieces, high waist, low waist, cut out? You name it, Shopbop has it ♥

1. Tory Burch One Piece Swimsuit 2. DODO BAR OR: Bra & Bikini 3. Peixoto One Piece

And another round ♥

What about some summer dresses? I have to admit, I love to wear dresses during the summer, to wear colors and to feel free and comfortable. It can be a party dress or a casual one, made out of silk, denim or cotton, it actually doesn’t matter because it will leave a feminine touch regardless your pick ♥

1. Charina Sarte blue Dress 2. Rhode Pink Dress 3. English Factory Ruffle Dress

Yellow Mania:

1. Stine Goya Jasmine Dress 2. Suboo Baloon Sleeve Dress 3. Sea Sleeve Ruffles Dress

When it comes to accessories, I simply cannot leave the house without my bag, this is a total MUST, a hat, during the summer is indeed essential and of course, some jewelries that can bring a lovely touch to your entire outfit. Did I ever mentioned that I have more than 30 hats? :)) I am not talking about bags and jewelries today. This is a story for another day ♥

1. Brinker & Eliza Necklace 2. Shashi Capri Earrings 3. Isabel Marrant Shell Earrings

1. Janessa Leone Hat 2. Eugenia Kim Mirabel Hat

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,

Yesterday I have posted one outfit on my Instagram Account and promise to post it on my blog too. From one day to another, I have changed my mind regarding the styling and I ended up wearing the same statement orange blazer from Jessica Buurman in a completely different way.

So, we have the evening outfit with a casual twist: blazer, shorts, high heels & white bag to match the shoes and the mani/pedi as I wore it for the Le Bab opening in Bucharest vs the casual/sport outfit: Same blazer, biker shorts, sport bra, sneakers and a bigger bag to carry whatever I want during the day.

I am really curious to know what styling do you prefer most or even better if you find yourself wearing my proposal on different occasions. Let me know if there is something you might change!

One more info that I want to share with you is that Shopbop just added more than 1000 items to sale so make sure you get your hand on your fav items. I have 3 new things on my wishlist: This Mini Bag ( See by Chloe), Superstar Sneakers ( Golden Goose) & last but not least these Capri Sandals ( Jacquemus).

Wish you all a wonderful day and down below I will leave all the details about both outfits with links included!

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 could’t be more happy! It’s officially summer, the weather improved and I managed to get some tan right at the start of this season ♥

Even if I don’t have big plans for these 3 months, for me it’s exciting that I will finally get to attend this year, for the first time the Neversea Festival. You know what they say: Third time is a charm. Last but not least, I can’t wait to see and hear Ed Sheeran singing live in Romania. I bought tickets for me & mom and I bet it will be amazing cause it will be a different birthday gift for her! I don’t really think she ever been to a concert and Ed is one of her fav.

In the meantime, I will enjoy this perfect weather and what color is more suitable for it, other than yellow?! I found this set, because it’s actually a two piece outfit ( top and skirt), at Tom Tailor. You can also check their stores because the new collection is perfect for summer, I can tell!

Now it’s your turn to tell me what’s your favorite summer color?

Hope you have a fantastic & fabulous season, full of memories and adventures!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

As you might already know, last week I was in Bodrum, Turkey for a press trip organized by Prestige Tours. The program was a bit chaotic and different from what we initially agreed, but in the end I have to admit, that we had a nice experience and for me it was the first time ever I had the chance to discover the All Inclusive services :))

Regarding the All Inclusive, well, I think it was great, but believe it or not, it’s not between my fav ways of traveling because I ate a lot :)) I am one of those persons that likes to taste a bit from everything and if you do the maths, a bit of everything ends up in A LOT. You can say I am a bit greedy….but what can I do?!

Moving on, even if the schedule was more than busy, I had Oana by my side and in the end we managed to take some nice shots and create a nice content while moving from one place to another. I saw on Instagram ( www.instagram.com/manuelalupascu ) that some shots were highly appreciated and this can only bring me smiles and make me happy.

As for tourists places in Bodrum, I didn’t managed to visit a lot, so I don’t have too many spots & instagramable places to share with you. I just hope that you’ll get a hint from the outfits posts I am about to share in a few second with you.

Under each outfit I will write the details about what I was wearing♥  I hope it will be easier for you to discover the pieces you like the most♥

That’s it for today.I really hope you enjoy this post!

Wish you a lovely weekend!

Kisses, M ♥

Hi loves,

Last week I had the chance to attend for the first time the Creators Festival. If I am not wrong, it was the second edition and believe it or not, it was a pleasure to go there and meet so many people that are so amazing and creative.

Luana convinced me to go and I was a bit skeptical just because the weather was a bit moody that day and we also had a bit of rain, right before leaving to the festival. In the end, the decision was made and we took the risk, without having at least an umbrella :)) All in all, it was the right decision because the rain stopped minutes before our arrival and everything was just perfect.

We took some great pictures, we socialized, we had some fun and last but not least, we have created new memories.

I won’t keep you longer because I know that some of you are getting ready for Easter. I want to send all my good wishes to you and have a wonderful time with the dearest ones.

Last but not least, I will leave you the outfit details in the “I was wearing” section.

Kisses, M ♥
