Bonjour mes amis, As I get comfy in my blanket on this crispy Sunday, I am thinking about my warmer days in Paris and so I thought it’s about time I share with you one of my outfits that I packed in my super small suitcase that got me to my graduation and from there to Paris, so had a mix of things – it did good though! Walks through Paris are always beautiful, I was like a kid smiling on the streets and stopping and starring at the architecture, it’s something that I always admired about Paris, and it’s what makes it unique as well. There is a top 3 things I want to do in Paris everytime I am there – walk around, eat from a boulangerie, and have an evening of wine and Macarons. And as rushed my trip seemed, I managed to do all these 3, while also attending classes at the Institut Français de la Mode. With my trip partner (who turned photographer for this post) being as in love with Paris as I am, all the wine, Macarons and cheese platters were always accompanied by laughter and good vibes! What made the trip special and more fashion focused was a trip to Kenzo’s new concept store and the story behind it as well as a visit to Yves Saint Laurent’s museum, which was extraordinary – if you are in Paris, you should definitely go! Unfortunately I did not manage to see Dior’s exhibition, but I managed to visit Colette before its shut down on 20th December so I am quite happy with all I’ve...

Hello babes, As I am touring Romania (check my insta for details!) I am sitting in my hotel room looking at graduation dresses and looking for inspiration in all the new collections that we’ve seen throughout fashion month. I’ve spammed my insta stories with them, so you have surely seen them! (sorry not sorry). So I thought as a throwback, I’ll share with you my London Fashion Week memories. I attended LFW for one day honouring an invitation to Paul Costelloe’s show, which was impressive beyond words. The dresses were beautiful and I wanted to buy every single one of them! For the show I wore an outfit inspired from Marta Jacubowski & Stella McCartney’s collections, presented earlier during Fashion Week. I went for something stylish, but also quite comfortable, an outfit ready to take me through Central Line at rush hour! And it worked, my heels were comfortable enough to take me through the day, even though the usual outfit ‘malfunction’ happened in the sens that my boots did not stay ‘over the knee’ throughout the day without my help here and there. But all in all, I enjoyed wearing my outfit, and that is the most important thing for me always, to wear a stylish outfit that gives me the confidence to enjoy my day without thinking too much about it. With that in mind, I’m off browsing some more outfits for my graduation – please let me know if you have any suggestions! Love, D. I was wearing: Skirt – H&M Shirt – Vintage Poncho – Vero Moda Necklace – Avon Boots – New Look Bag...

Hello darlings, It’s been a while and so, so many things have happened! That many that it will take me more than one post to tell you everything without you getting bored or lost in all my tales! So I’ll start with the most impactful and recent one – my work at Cannes Film Festival. Even if the festival ended only two weeks ago, I already struggle to remember everything in detail because of how dynamic everything was. The festival took place between the 17th and the 28th May this year and it was my first year attending it. I flew over with a team of PR professionals in my first graduate adult adventure as a PR & Marketing person. I wrote articles, liaised with press, was part of the organising team of a Celebrity Suite, met lots and lots of people and tasted the craziness of what goes behind a huge event like this. Everyone sees the festival as a glamorous experience and now looking at my pictures, I realise why, but truth is, as an insider, as someone that works behind the scenes, I can tell you it is not all pink and bubbly, but rather rushed, last minute, spontaneous and exhausting. Not that glamorous, huh? But at the end of the day, the reason why it’s so exhausting is that there is so much to do during the day and so many events to attend during the night, that there is little to no time left for sleeping or eating! Truth is, they were some 2 weeks hard to keep up with, but I have learnt...

Hello beautiful, Long time, no talking… It seems like it’s been like that for a while now. Truth is, I had to have a break. From life really. As much as all my family and friends told me to take care of myself, it didn’t really hit me until my health slowed me down and even stopped me for a bit. So it got me reflecting. I am a hustler and I know I always talk about that and going that extra mile, but it seems like I left something out of this mix – myself. I left myself behind and focused on work, uni, projects, anything else but myself. And I thought it’d be fineeee, until it put me to bed, literally. For a few days I didn’t have the energy to do anything, I barely worked, crawled to lectures and antibiotics were, well, still are, a big part of my day. So I figured I don’t really have my priorities in order. I still believe in hard work, but I think in between achieving so many great things, what I didn’t achieve was balance. I didn’t balance work and time off and I most certainly didn’t include a healthy eating schedule or sleep in my balance. So my body is fighting back. And yes, I get it. And as much as I don’t consider myself a stubborn person, I guess I am, at least a bit, if it took me a health-check panic to get to these conclusions. And you know what? I still believe that everything happens for a reason, because if I got better in...

Hello darling, It’s almost the end of January. What? 2016 flew by so I was hoping 2017 will slow down but by the looks of it, no chance. Well, all we can do is roll with it. Or froze time. Can we? I have frozen my life for a bit. Thursday evening I finished work, ran to the trainstation and bam, gone. Exams, assignments, work, all the stress that came with it, that mental breakdown that was chasing me, left everything behind and went to my best relief – my best friends. We’ve had another lovely reunion, they heard me rant (sorry) and we laughed as much as we usually do when we meet up (hint – a lot). This time we spiced it up and went to a concert, Rae Sremmurd, babyyyy, it was lit. Literally. Loved it! So I had my well deserved and so much awaited break. Now I’m back in Worcester and ready for a week full of work, but also, a lot of creative ideas. I figured until I’m back to classes I might as well feed my ideas and do some creative stuff as well. So stay tuned. And these pictures were the perfect ones to represent this article – when we took these pictures in the middle of Cluj, back when I was on holiday, everything was frozen around us, it’s like the time has stopped, the view was just magical. And this red coat just stood out perfectly! Yes, you’ve guessed right, it’s my mum’s. Sometimes I feel trhat she’s the one that should be writing the blog, since...
