It's Christmas time :)

First of all I want to wish you all MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is the first Christmas I get to "spend" on my blog :)) It's interesting and it's nice.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Christmas are these cartoons called "Noel" which I saw almost every year on TV, about an ornament named that way which was alway saying "My name is Noel, and I have a happiness". These cartoons are so cute and I think we should all "have a happiness".

My home is ready for Christmas: decorations - check, tree - check, holiday food - check, carols playing in the background - check. I think that's all I need for the moment, to spend a nice Christmas with my family. I only wish that there was still some snow on the ground...but at least I got to enjoy the snow before Christmas. :) I guess we can't have anything we wish for, we just have to be patient and wishes will come true eventually...one at a time.

Even though this Christmas I didn't get so much in the spirit of this holiday still I was happy to receive this little 6 year-old boy dressed up as Santa, who came to my place to sing a carol....he was so innocent, so natural and so cute. I appreciated the fact that he did his best and I remembered how I used to do the same thing as him, every single year...up to this one, when I didn't go caroling anymore.

This time I didn't make a Christmas wishlist but one of these days I'm going to post my list of wishes for the new year and my new year's resolutions.

This year we decided to decorate the tree with violet & golden decorations.

And here are some pics :

Trick & Kubic featuring Valeska - Easy ♥

I know this song is from 2006 but I still love it and I had to post the lyrics because they are so meaningful! :) Listen to the song or just read the lyrics and you'll see what I'm talking about. ;)

I also love the video because Lena Gerke is in it, she's the winner of the first edition of Germany's Next Top Model and she's a great model, just as expected.

If you hear a sound

from a voice inside

tellin' you

something's not right

you're gettin' tired

of this life

you just don't know

how to thrive

maybe one day

you will see

life's in motion

and you are the beat

flowin' with it

everday

no matter how

just find the way

open your eyes

and feel new-born

threre's no reason

no need to mourn

things will change

and you will see

that your mind

will set you free

don't be impatient

don't run away

let me tell ya

that one day

you will see

how easy it is

how easy it is

(easy, easy, easy)

you wonder what it´s gonna be like

when you listen to that voice

speaking to you all the time

tellin' you all the things you need to know

it may be hard to understand

and hard to follow from time to time

but if you're not trying

nothing will change

it's your choice

the way you live your life

and not only within your dreams

with your eyes wide open

there's a lot more to see

than you've seen so far

so why don't you just give it a go?

and listen to what your heart says?

and stop questioning...

it's easy

(easy, easy, easy)

66 THINGS ABOUT ME (Part 1)

23. I wanted to become a doctor (a surgeon), then a model, then a performer (singer & dancer), then a DJ, then a psychologist, then a kindergarten teacher, then a PR & translator (studying to become one now) not many jobs, right? XD

24. I love little kids. They’re so cute. Most of them.

25. Most of the times I feel very motherly & protective of weak people, or poor people…anyone in need of some sort of support or protection.

33. I’m a perfectionist, I like things well done

Eat.Pray.Love / Mananca.Roaga-te.Iubeste

Eat. Pray. Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is definitely one of my all time favourite books!!

This book is about a woman who goes on a trip around the world to find herself after having a devastating divorce...and she will discover the wonders of life :)

And here are a few reasons why I enjoyed reading it:

- it's "fresh"

- it's honest

- the stories are true

- I indentify myself with the author's way of thinking & reacting like 80% of the time

- I loved reading about those 3 cultures: Italian , Indian & Indonesian

- each story had its own way of catching my attention: culinary delicacies & places full of history from Italy, yoga & meditation in India and living healthy & simply enjoying life in Indonesia :)

#2nd FAVOURITE OUTFIT

This time I put together a PURPLE outfit :)

I'm in love with this colour! I wish I had more purple clothes in my closet...

This is such a trendy colour this season and I just had to "create" an outfit based on it.

#1st FAVOURITE OUTFIT

I've been thinking about posting this a loooooong time ago but I just didn't really brought myself to actually do it :P

So this is my first post of the sort, from a long upcoming list :)

I've created this look with pictures from the internet and unfortunately I don't remember the clothes' brands but that's not my point, I actually want to post outfits created from pieces that I think go together very well and look very trendy. So this is my vision of fashion.

Actually for the first post I chose 2 black looks (because I couldn't decide on just one). I think black is a VERY ellegant/trendy colour if you know how to wear it. I for one love black clothes: leather jackets, jeans, blouses, T-shirts, tops, shoes, accessories....and everything else you can think of. I love it how black is found in almost every punk-rock/ellegant outfit and it never gets old.

ENJOY ^_^

My 20th anniversary :)

I know I went MIA (missing in action) but now I've come back to posting on my dear blog for a good reason :) MY 20TH ANNIVERSARY!!!! WOOT!

Yes I turned 20 the past weekend and even if now I'm officially an "adult" I do not feel any different...yet...

I had a great time celebrating this wonderful moment together with my dear friends: Iony, Lala, Ioana, Adina, Ina, and my sister Flory on the night of October 31st (yes on the Halloween night but I didn't disguise) and also went to lunch with Roxi the next day. We had a great time gathering in Atu Cafe-Bar (the place I frequent the most in the university campus), after that we went to a "late dinner" aka 1 AM with some of the girls and later on we went clubbing in Vanilla. *boogie* It was really fun but you can imagine how tired I was the next day. LOL But it was worth it.

As for gifts....I can't say anything but WOW! I've been so spoiled! So here are some pics of the gifts I received from my girls:

Accessories <3

This post is about accessories :)
I absolutely looove them. I'd rather buy simple clothes, with no prints on them (preferably grey, white, black, purple, maroon and a few other colours) and combine them with beautiful and most important, suitable, accessories such as jewels (rings, earings, necklaces, bracelets and all that) and short vests, belts, scarfs, glasses, bags ect., rather than buying weird clothes with all kinds of ugly prints that make them look cheap and trashy. So here I'd like to post some pictures of my favorite accessories. =) These are the ones I've liked the most from the Forever21 online store but I also like the H&M accessories very much!
