With Ralph Lauren on a walk

 

 Got you interested didn't I? 

Well, not with the intention to be mean, but only to brag about the skirt I'm wearing, by the one and only Ralph Lauren, I found this Summer in a thrift shop. So for only 3 euros I get too look pretty and chic and I get to stroll around the city with pride. 

Man, I've always wanted a skirt like this, the length is perfect, the cut is amazing, it fits me unbelievably well and the fabric is simple but it does it's job! And the neutral color allows you to wear it with so many other colors and create lots of styles. So, yes, I scored big time and I'm still amazed.

 In the meantime, Fall came in fast, but it's still sunny and warm and I love that, until you get to freeze in the evenings; but that can change as long as you have good company and a delicious cup of tea by your side. Oh ... can't wait for hot chocolates and gingerbread cookies, yum!

But those are for a more colder season..

Have a lovely Sunday guys!

Classy grunge

 

 Now this is an interesting turn: from floral prints to grunge patterns. 

Truth is I've always had a fancy for chequered prints but always hesitated when I was shopping. However, I decided to give in and since I saw this particular shirt in an outlet shop, I thought "what the heck" and went for it. I loved the soft cotton fabric, the simple design (sometimes I found shirts with huge ugly pockets or studs randomly placed on them - what?!) and the combination of colors is really to my taste. I suppose my mother would say that I am wearing a table cloth and to be honest that is my first impression when I see this pattern too; but sometimes table cloths can be really cool and fashionable.

 Have e lovely weekend guys!

The floral pencil skirt - a jewel

 

 I will always say that a pencil skirt with a floral print (the bigger the better) and in color, is a statement piece in any wardrobe.

 Looking at these photos makes me think that I need to find more skirts of this kind and start making a collection, haha.

That being said, I am taking off because I am already running late to a meeting. 

 See you soon!

Visiting Oradea

 

 It's been a while since I made an appearance here and let's just say it was a slow transition back to Cluj. I spent a few days alone there, just me and my cat and unfortunately she didn't master the art of photography, so taking photos was out of the question.

After making the apartment squeeky-clean, my lovely flatmates soon appeared and we decided to take a trip to almost-nearby Oradea, near the border with Hungary. I knew it was an interesting city and I wanted to visit it since last Spring, but I never thought I could find so many beautiful, amazing buildings which were onece upon a time, palaces. 

If you are a Art Nouveau fanatic like myself, Oradea is the place to visit. It has so many buildings from that period, a few of them were restored and now they look like gingerbread houses! We did not have time to explore everything I wanted to, but there is always a next time. 

 All I can say is that it appears to be a lovely city, with many many many old houses that I love (I don't think I have ever seen that many, not even in Cluj) and I spent a lovely day despite the cloudy weather and forgetting the fact that I lost the cute pink sweater (and irreplaceable) I had with me. Oh well..

 

 We even got a chance to visit the Zoo and took dozens of photos of meerkats and felines. Naturally.

 

This fellow cracks me up everytime I look at this photo.

Have a lovely week guys!

Escape the city...into a different one.

 

 This Sunday we decided to get out of the city to explore a new one nearby (actually I had no idea of this, it came as a surprise, so it was quite a spontaneous thing, which was nice).

 It appeared the good weather was on our side so the day turned out to be a lovely one. We visited Botosani, not a famous city from our country but nonetheless, lovely and it was close to my hometown and what the heck, I never seen it properly before. 

We started the day boating on the cute little lake in the park and we continued visiting toward downtown. I knew tere was an old city somewhere and I really wanted to see it because a person who has an ongoing crush for historical buildings will always be attracted to that. So we went there and I was surprised to see how few people were not only there but in the whole city as well. "Too bad" I thought, because it is a beautiful area that reminded me of Sibiu a bit; but the city was numb as my own hometown as if it was waiting for some event to show up and stir things up a bit. 

We ended the day with a film at the cinema which was delightful and then we went straight home with pleasant memories in our minds. Peaceful days like these are the ones that I'm looking forward the most.

 

How cute were these suspended umbrellas?

A new week has begun and I am still thinking of past and future trips. 

Have a lovely week guys!

An afternoon stroll

 

 It doesn't feel much like September these days, especially at noon; only in the evenings and mornings (since I am not a morning person I can only take my mom's words for granted) you can feel the Autumn chill which is quite lovely. I only began to think about my fall wardrobe, but the minute I go back in Cluj, I will start looking for some cute boots - ones without heel this time - and also some light cardigans, wohooo can't wait! 

This is what I wore yesterday when I met with a friend of mine to grab a bite and some coffee, and I realise now that I am wearing my mom's old clothes which I took custody of, isn't that funny? 

That happens when you get bored by your own clothes.

 Enjoy your day as best as you can!
