As someone who promotes positivity and always tries to embody it, false positivity is a fascinating subject. I often look for the positive in every situation choosing not to focus on the bad as most of the times the situations making us negative are just a passing moment that won't even matter in a year. What's the point of spending your days drowning in a pessimistic mood for the small stuff? There is none. However, this shouldn't be confused with masking feelings with false positivity.
All feelings are natural and in a world of depression and anxiety it seems like most people are afraid to feel, which is unnatural. Being sad and upset is normal, everyone goes through these emotions. There is no need to mask them with fake smiles. People are now judging each other for having "bad feelings". Instead of being acceptive when seeing someone sad, they tell them to stop crying or ask what's wrong with them. Le's make this clear, there is nothing wrong with expressing your emotions. It takes courage! Pushing away your feelings will only result in bursting at a random moments. Shaming your close ones for feelings you don't understand is not only wrong, but promotes a bad habit. Try to be supportive and a true friend. We are emotional creatures and should embrace it. Negative principals are vital in order to support relationships and form a balanced lifestyle. All emotions are part of life and need to be experienced. No need to mask or push them aside. Deal with them as they come, let them run their course. Say no to false positivity!
If you're curious what has brought this, I stumbled upon a Ted Talk with psychologist Susan David.

I have to say this whole fall series is extremely enjoyable and is expanding my styling sense. It's helping me view all of the trends in a more open way and with an eye for styling, always thinking which trends would go with my style and how to combine them together. Today's two trends are feminine leather and the color "butterum", however I also incorporated the satin trend we discussed last week.
Do you fancy these two trends?

Birthday wishlists are incredibly fun to put together, so of course I had to share some also this year. I'm starting off with a luxury one. Do you have your eyes on any of these pieces?

Pink & grey has to be one of the prettiest colour combinations! Together they create this soft romantic vibe that lifts your spirit, not to mention it sets a spring vibe. To be honest it's still freezing cold, even if I'm dreaming of spring and summer, which is why I'm bundled up in layers and layers of fluffy clothes.
Pairing dresses with over the knee boots is one of the easiest ways to wear your pretty dresses when it's cold outside. Just layer a cami under and a jumper over, then another layer with the coat and the final one is the blanket scarf. For extra warmth add thick stockings, which is quite easy if the dress overlaps the boots. And there you have it, warm and chic in winter!
Though let's be honest, we all have days when we just layer everything we can find in our closet in order to keep warm, without caring about the cute and stylish factor, which is also ok.

Nothing says I love you like a luxury Christmas gift. Of course not everyone loves luxury items or can afford them, that's perfectly fine. A gift that comes from the heart is more precious than anything, it doesn't matter how much it costed. This Gift Guide is for those who love to buy or just dream luxury.
I would also like to remind everyone, that even though receiving gifts is fun, donating for the less fortunate is amazing. If you can, try donating old clothes, toys or even buying food for shelters.
Which is your favourite item?

It's been way too long since my last video, more than I would have liked, but today I'm back with a fall look. Still keeping up with the oversized theme that we started Sunday. As always you can enjoy this one in both video format and pictures. Please do subscribe to my YouTube channel for more videos and tell me what you think about this one.

Milan Fashion Week has brought us so many creative and inspiring styles, but today I'm sharing the pieces that caught my eyes and that made me look forward to seeing them on the street style scene. I've gathered my personal favourites from the Vogue archive and linked everything, so you can check more collections after this post. Which is your favourite?

It doesn't matter if you're a dog or cat person, I think we can all appreciate the cuteness of this cat print skirt! I mean, just look at it, it's adorable! This look is feminine and a bit romantic, but very simple.
The skirt and open back shirt are kind of statement pieces put together to create the appearance of a slightly elegant look, that's actually very comfortable. It's one of those outfits which you can wear almost anywhere : to brunch, lunch, dinner, strolling though the city, to the movies or to a date, it will look cute.
What do you think?

Probably every fashionista loves luxury pieces and I am no different, so I thought why not create a luxury birthday wishlist. This month I'll create three different birthday wishlists, the luxury one, a beauty one and an affordable fashion one. Wishlists are a lot of fun, just to get inspired and discover new items, it doesn't mean I'll buy everything. Though, if any brand would love to send me my dream items I'm all up for it. ahaha. Anyway, let's dive right in.

Let's start with bags. Since I'm only human, of course I'm in love with Chanel.
Isn't spring amazing? There are flowers everywhere, which make for the perfect spring backdrop and of course they smell amazing setting a better, happier mood.
Geek Chic has made its way back into fashion since about last fall and today I wanted to share my take on this trend. As you all know, I don't often have special hairstyles, but for this look I created my modern version of the princess Leia buns. They are quite higher and could also resemble Minnie ears, whatever makes you happier. But don't they look cute?!
For the outfit I opted for a grey midi dress with an oversized, bit cropped cardigan paired with flats. As for accessories, I layered a short and long necklace. For the long one I chose a Minnie necklace, so cute.
What do you think about the Geek Chic comeback?

Leather skirts are known to make an outfit sexier, but today I've styled it down in way and made it work appropriate. To make it look softer I added pastel coloured ballerinas and a fuzzy sweater, which make it cuter yet office attire, of course depending on your work place. What do you think about leather for office wear?

Hello Dolls!
Can we take a few seconds to admire how beautiful Lecco is? Yes, the weather is kind of gloomy, but it doesn't even matter, cause the pictures still look gorgeous thanks to the beautiful lake. Similar to my last look, this is all about layering and being minimalistic. This time around I swapped my over the knee boots for comfy sneakers and added a chunky knit to keep me warm. To balance out the look of oversized everything I also went for a larger bag, well mostly because it can fit my whole life in it. I love totes and always fill them up, which is such a bad habit and I often end up with back pain. I need to invest in smaller bags and stop carrying everything with me. Wish me luck!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are energised for the new week! Today's look focuses on layering and combining different textures. I love simple outfits that look chic and are put-together, yet so effortless. As you can see, I went for faux leather pants with over the knee faux suede boots, a loose blouse with a long coat and oversized scarf. I've been loving loose fitted and oversized clothing this past winter. Looks very chic and comfy, not to mention it hides that pizza and pasta baby (belly). We took all the pictures in Milan. I just love strolling through the city and discovering new places to see and shoot. Have you visited Milan? What do you think about the city?

For today I have another summery outfit combining neon and gold details. Summer is almost over, which is always sad, but I'm looking forward to fall fashion. Not so much the rain and wind, but no way in stopping that. What are you wearing in these last days of heat?

Today's outfit is a little bit on the patriotic side, incorporating a "ie". "Ie" is actually a peasant blouse that is representative for the Romanian folklore. Since I'm currently back home in Bucharest, I thought it would be nice to style something around it. If you guys like this outfit maybe I'll style the "ie" also in another way.

Hi Dolls!
Today I'll share with you my current manicure and the make-up I applied today, including a close up of the products. The eyes are neutral, the whole make-up is very innocent and sweet. My nails show my excitement for spring with pops of pastel.

The two things you can always be sure I have in my big bags are my wallet and make-up bag, on which I've already done a post of. Of course I keep my keys and phone in my bag, but since I was at home they were misplaced somewhere. I have this pair of Forever21 sunglasses inside, which have no point what so ever if I'm not wearing contact lenses. The slight cat eye shape make them one of my favourite sunglasses. I keep the small camera in my bag in case I feel inspired and want to take pictures on the go. Lastly you'll notice a small note book with a pen, in which I write blog post ideas, shopping lists, directions, just small stuff.
Hope you enjoyed this type of post.

Today I wore a simple yet chic ensemble, combining a white elegant blouse with black pants and my rain boots to combat the bad weather. I layered a long fluffy cardigan and a long wool scarf with my leather jacket on top, to keep me toasty. To be totally honest, even though I layered a bunch of stuff it still didn't keep me warm enough. Simple combinations like this are perfect for winter and colder months, it's chic but still somewhat warm.

I've picked up a few new beauty products, meaning it's time for a new haul post. Since the Gucci beauty line announcement I've been dying to get my hands on it. Initially I wanted a purple lipstick, which sadly resembled too much "Rebel" by MAC, so I couldn't justify getting it. I tried to pick a colour that was missing from my collection and succeeded if I may say so myself, which is getting harder and harder. While in Milan I also got a purple lip liner by Kiko... can you feel my obsession for purple lips yet? Quite random, I picked up some nail polishes by Essie and a primer by Catrice. I don't usually wear primer, but this one had a mouse like texture and felt nice when I tested it.
What's your lip colour obsession at the moment?
