Hello darling, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and/or your time off and you’re now ready to leave 2017 behind, to learn from it and to set your goals for 2018. As I’m sure I’ve told you before, I always see December as a reflective time, and I often think about how my year has been, what I have achieved, what I could have done better and what I have learnt throughout. And then I sit down and write my resolutions based on that. I know a lot of people see resolutions as a cliché, so let’s call them goals. Following my past year’s reflections, setting goals seems the natural next step. I have always written them down on NYE or on the next couple of days, but I have learnt a lot throughout the years so they have also changed significantly. To share with you my wisdom and help you set goals that you will achieve and that will make you proud of yourself, I put together a little guide. These tips are all from my own experience and my own point of view so please, do let me know if you have any further add-ons! 1.Set goals that you can truly bring to life. So many people see their resolutions as wishes instead of goals, so they end up writing down ‘I want to fall in love’ or ‘I want to be famous’ etc. and then, if they don’t happen and they can’t tick them off at the end of the year they just assume they failed and end up saddened by their incapability to achieve their dreams....

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 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...

Hello beautiful, Yep, still in the library and yep, still revising. Buuut, this is my last day this semester, so I am just taking a little break to talk to you and then I’m back at revising for my exam! Just like I did when I took these pictures. I was still at home, hence the snow, and I was writing an assignment, and during the break I thought I’d snap a few outfit pictures. This outfit probably sums up all my outfits this week, it is like the perfect outfit to study, really. Comfy, still lively, you don’t put a lot of effort into it, but it is stylish. There you go, feel free to rush to get into the library – you’ll still have a nice look! Also, I had a crush on this sweater ever since it came out, and I saw it being sold out online, in UK stores and then I finally found it in Romania, which made it hard to let go. I attempted to live in it, despite of my strong belief of not wearing the same thing twice days in a row. It was hard. Very hard. So, there you go, my studying outfit, minimal make up, the usual smile and the confidence that we’ll be fine through it all (this had a tendency of fading throughout last week, but I managed to get it back!). Now, I will go back to studying, cross my fingers for tomorrow’s exam – last one from my undergraduate degree – bittersweet! Good luck with everything, fellow students, we got this! I will be back...
