What will you wear?

So everybody from top designers to high and low end brands are crazy about prints right now. That's no news. We already know it. But as I was searching the web for clothes that I wish for I was thinking about posting some of the new in prints and see which one is the hottest.

Unfortunately for me, some of the brands below do not ship to Romania, so I'll have to find another similar option, but...that's life around here!...
Anyway, tell me what you think and what will be in for you this spring? Abstract prints, florals, dots, animal print, DYI, or what else?

P.S. So sorry for not blogging so often these days, I'm very tired because of work and my exams, but hopefully this will end soon :D Also thanks for your sweet comments and support !

Stripes at Jane Norman

Floral print at Asos

Dots at Asos

Animal print at Dorothy Perkins (I don't really like this dress, I just used it for the print example)
Abstract print at FOREVER 21
Message print at Forever 21
Check print at Miss Selfridge

DYI at Topshop
The Famous Figure print at Mango (seen here Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz")
I love this one and I can get it cause I have Mango here :D

Why do we hate the 90s fashion?


First of all I have to apologize for not posting so often lately, it's because I've been very busy with my exams and at work.

But, I was thinking to ask you all, why do you think everybody around the fashion world speaks so bad about the 90s fashion? In my opinion fashion it's a way of expressing the characteristics of a certain society at a certain moment, so if people were wearing big t-shirts and knee long denim pants of those electric silvers and neon colors it must have been because all aspects of life were making it happen. And now, that we can look at the 90s from the distance of another decade of (what we think it's) great fashion trends we say: "God, did I ever wear that? Oh, no!"

Well probably some of you didn't wear anything picked by you in the 90s because you were to small. I was born in 87 so I was very young also but I remember begging my mother to buy me some very short neon orange and yellow t-short that I would never wear now, but that look so cool at the time! Let's face it:it was the time of Nirvana, No doubt, Backstreet boys, ordering from Quelle magazine and getting the Rachel ("Friends") hair do! It was pretty fun!

I hope maybe we can get some answers from the older (and wiser) readers on this subject, the ones that lived through the 90s and tell us: is that bad fashion or is it just fashion that had it's life in it's given time ?

Enjoy the pictures below ;)

A rose like make up


Following one of the moments trends in make up, which is very natural looking eyebrows, or even almost absent eyebrows (on blonds maybe...), I did this make up that lose like a rose petal to me...


Unfortunately thou,the pictures doesn't do it justice because of my crappy camera that doesn't show the actual colors and details.. But I hope you'll like it...

It's a neutral look, with peachy pinks, lilacs and a touch of blueish magenta with beige highlight :) (excuse my red bf t-shirt, it had nothing to do with the look:)) )

Have a super fun weekend everybody and thanks so much for your comment, they make my days so much happier!

Close up
Different lightening
Notice the free, natural eyebrows
I applied mascara towards the corner of the eye for a more dramatic effect
