Feeling inspired by the French Era and the glamorous outfits of Marie Antoinette. These are the looks I love the most, some of them in the actual style, others reinterpreted with a modern twist.

Emily Blunt in Vanity Fair

Build a Marie Antoinette outfit using the typical items of the century: the corsets, embellishments, color and hair accessories - feathers & jewels.

Or you can wear a crown and a nice bow….

And statement MAKE-UP

Get inspired from modern versions of fashion royalty :) Blair and Serena…

Or get inspired by awesome photographers - such as John Wright

Create your own French fairytale with a super-sized ball gown, bows, sweets and lots of pink accessories.

You can also go glamour and show that bling…

J Lo with Georgina Chapman, in a Marchesa dress of course

Wildfox - Spring / Summer 2011 Campaign - The chic junky style.

I have enjoyed a nice weekend in my home town and played in the snow for the first time this season! :) Everything near the citadel city was covered in white and the walls of the old fortress and bastions in Brasov seemed just like in fairytales or mythic stories.

I am really into the leather pants idea right now and thus wearing ZARA leggings with a long Balmain-inspired sweater. I wanted to make the outfit more fun so I contrasted it with colorful UGG boots and a funky fur hat. It was lots of fun! :)

I’ve been browsing this amazing gallery of red dresses and it got me all inspired.

Red is the color of Christmas, of roses, of danger, strawberries or adrenaline.

Red is the color of love…and sexy lingerie.

Somehow this color inspired so many designers and it continues to inspire us later on through remarkable pieces of clothing, jewelry, make-up or accessories.

My holiday in Spain ended faster than Cinderella’s banquet! There were so many things to see and observe but unfortunately the clock stroke midnight exactly when I started to feel the entire Spanish air…. This is the irony I guess, beautiful experiences never last forever… :)

Spanish people are so lively and cheerful, but at the same time relaxed and arty. Museums, cafes, shops and cathedrals, parks or even palaces make up the cityscape of Malaga, Sevilla, Marbella or Puerto Banus. And the people, the great tapas and sangria make the soul of the these  cities.

Even if the SUN is starting to lose its power on European lands, there are still sunny months to look forward to on the Eastern territory. I have started to see the Fall 2012 sings and trends everywhere now: darker shades, stricter lines, thicker fabrics and all the metallics which are so frequent during the cold season dominance.

But somewhere, not over the rainbow, but over the ocean, there is still time for swimwear and sexy beach hair! Summer gets wilder this time of year in Australia. Surfing season is around the corner and conventional styling does not stand any chance.

It’s time to try the extraordinary and to forget about the rules. This experience is made up by an entire ritual because the beach has it’s own way of influencing our style. Starting with the natural hair and make-up, the smell of our sun lotions or the beach wear, tight surf gear, cold water … they all fit in the perfect wild summer.

The key to achieving this type of wild summer look is not to focus at all on being polished.  Check out surf wear lookbooks, such as O’Neill or cool hairstyles at ghd Australia. Try to focus on more sporty and casual wear and use the sun-rays to highlight fresh skin and sparkly hair. It’s not about the boho-styles anymore, it’s about freedom!

This week was practically insane! Besides work and fighting a cold, I had to really work hard for a school project. It was actually my master’s paper which I had to turn in on Thursday. I forgot how mind and time consuming this really is :)) As everything needed to be played by the rules and written 100% academically, it was quite challenging to keep the deadline. At least the topic was cool! Obviously my master’s paper was about fashion and fashion blogging! :-)

Anyway, so now that this is done, I really feel the need to contemplate and relax. Suddenly, I feel I have all this time and this weekend I am going to take advantage of it! :-) I have made the ultimate weekend recipe.

It goes like this…

Weekend Recipe

3 Cups Relaxation - Favorite books and magazines I’ve ignored as I had to read school books. Also here add a dash of lounge music to get the movie scene picture and some pretty flowers to add some smiles and flavor to your room! :)

2 Spoons Sleep - Nothing better than cuddling in fluffy pillows and taking a nap. I really have to get some sleep done after 3 sleepless night this past week. So no clubbing this weekend :)) Maybe just cocktails with my friends and in bed by 12!

2 Tablespoon Pampering - Get out those new body lotions and mix them well! You can also add a sprinkle of your favorite perfume or some tanning at the beach or by the pool.

2 Teaspoons Sexy Lingerie - women’s underwear should be all about this, at least in the weekends! Go shopping and try some of the coolest summer must haves. Go for bold colors, I suggest coral :)

1 Pint Social - Try a girls only tasting session. Get good sweets, cut them in small bits, add a pinch of champagne and mix with girls’ talk!

Finally, for a finishing touch, put on a chic dress and your statement shoes and prepare to be admired! I wish you the perfect weekend!

Olivia Palermo apparently riding her bike in style. I love her all black outfit highlighted with the camel Birkin bag. Photo via Sartorialist.

Minimalism and casual style should be the key elements of getting a chic bicycle look. Pair a white shirt with cool boots and some skinny jeans. You cannot go wrong :)  Photo via Outlier - Suzie Christopher

Patterns and prints are very cool when dressing up for a bike ride. Focus on comfortable pieces and obtain a chic effortless look. Love the striped t-shirt. Photo via Fashionising

Or you can definitely ride in style! Stylist Catherine Baba shows you how you can pull an elegant look with turban, fur and high heels while going to a fashion show. This is a show stopper right? :)) Photo via Hanneli.

Youth and sexiness. Two attributes that this image conveys. Bike outfits work best with flats and flowing silhouettes. I love this image, it kinda says happiness all over :)  Photo via Sartorialist

I really like this woman’s shoes! The sandal boots are a cool way of dressing up your ankles when riding a bike. I think that these black leather details are so cool while riding a bicycle, just like the motorcycle looks, they add a bit of roughness to the entire ensemble.  Photo via Fashionising.

Fashionista Shala Monroque shows us quite the opposite: having a colorful riding outfit is not a bad idea at all. A cute pattern dress and some quirky flats and you are ready to go! Photo via Shalasrabbithole.com

Chic, simple and classy. Photo via Sartorialist.

Match your clothes to your bike? And your nail-polish to your bike accessories? :) I think it was just a coincidence, however I cannot stop staring at this photo. The entire scene is so alive. Amazing. Photo via. Fashionising

This was shot by me in Rome, Italy last month. I liked that this girl had style even if she was wearing tall sneakers. Love her coat!

To end this article in a bright sunny mood, I would like to present the ultimate inspiration. White Tee & Shorts mixed with a loose scarf. Amazing look and girl.  Photo by Garance Dore.

I promised that this year will be the year of change, magic and happiness. It is hard to predict how things will actually turn out, but you can make the best to revolve situations and contexts so that they work for you.

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to travel as much as possible and to discover all the beauty that exists around me. There are so many places that I haven’t seen, even though they are the most popular destinations, such as London or Prague, but also things that I dream of like Tropical Rainforests or African resorts.

The first stamp on my Passport will be Rome, at the beginning of February, if everything is arranged until then. I am really looking forward to amazing street styles and a great adventure with a couple of friends.
But this is not an outfit for Rome (I will create some looks soon!), this is a cool casual lool for summer and a wonderful exotic place. Have you seen or read Eat, pray, love? Then you should know what I have in mind…

Peace and joy to all of you! ♥
