My new purchases :)

During the past week I found a lot of clothes, accessories and bags on sale and when I say sale, I mean pretty cool prices. I would've loved to buy a lot of stuff but I stuck to those that I'm 100% sure I'm going to wear and which I absolutely love.

And here is what I got:

Owl T-shirt from C&A - 10 € / 12 $

"My Secret Mirror" necklace from Meli Melo - 3 € from 6 € / 4 $ from 8 $

Dark-brown leather bag from Rapel Biz, a Romanian brand/online shop - 23 € from 58 € / 30 $ from 75 $

What did you get during these winter sales? Or what are you planning to buy?

Golden Globe Awards 2012

In my opinion the actresses that wore the "best dresses" were the ones that followed the saying "less is more". They wore simple but chic dresses and as for accessories they wore just a few pieces of jewelry, with diamonds of course, and sparkly clutches for a touch of glam. Wise choices. In the end everything lies in the attitude.

My top 3 from the Golden Globe Awards this year is the following:

1. Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace

2. Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen

3. Kate Beckinsale in Roberto Cavalli

And the top continues with:

Berenice Bejo in Gucci Premiere

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture

Jenna Dewan in Maria Lucia Hohan

Emma Stone in Lanvin

Nicole Kidman in Versace

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang

Pinterest

I've discovered Pinterest recently and I've been addicted to it ever since. I'm so glad that someone was nice enough to give me an invitation (since you need one from a user in order to make an account) the same day I discovered this wonderful site. :)

So I'm doing the same thing now - if you want an invitation leave me your email address in a comment below so that you can enjoy the site to its fullest.

Outfit of the day

I love this yellow dress, that's a fact. :) I can't wait for a special occasion to wear it again. I'm also very happy that this year bright colours are a huge trend. Anyway lately I like fluorescent colours more than ever and I'm trying to wear as many colourful clothes and accessories as possible.

My dress is very similar to the one from Top Shop that Olivia Palermo wore at the Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2011/2012 show in Paris on July 4.

Blake Lively

Taylor Swift

Reese Witherspoon - Paris Hilton - Gwyneth Paltrow

Megan Fox - Kim Kardashian - Dianna Agron

My Wishlist 2012 - (2) Piaget Altiplano Wrist Watch

When I saw this watch I instantly fell in love with it. It's simple, elegant and at the same time glamorous. I love the wide screen and the simple design. I always lived by the motto "less is more". The good thing is that it's easy to match this wrist watch with an outfit. I believe that a watch like this or similar to this one would go with a pair of jeans as well as with an elegant outfit - for special occasions or business meetings. I would love to wear it with jeans, a pair of high-heel shoes, a simple shirt and a blazer on top.

I know that a watch says a lot about the person who wears it but I'm not a person who wishes for fancy things, I would appreciate it if the watch was of good quality and I mean it should be made of stainless steel so that it would "live" longer but I couldn't care less if the watch would have diamonds, sapphires or other precious stones.

My wishlist 2012 - (1) Anya Hindmarch Clutch

Anya (Susannah) Hindmarch is a 44 year-old British accessories designer who started her carrier in Florence, Italy at the age of 18. In time her creations became famous and it's not a surprise that now she has clients such as Angelina Jolie, Kate Moss, Reese Witherspoon, Claudia Schiffer, Vanessa Hudgens, Camilla Belle, Scarlett Johansson, Madonna and many more.

Even Princess Diana walked into her London shop and now Kate Middleton is also wearing her accessories.

They are just gorgeous! How I would love to own one of these. :) They are elegant, sophisticated, glamorous - exactly what I would use to spice up a simple outfit. The range of colors is really pretty and vast. The Marano Glitter Box Clutch reminds me of Alexander McQueen's clutches but these are simpler and obviously more sparkly.

1. Anya Hindmarch Valorie Glitter Clutch - 550$

Anya Hindmarch Marano Glitter Box Clutch - raging from 545 $ to 630 $

Spring 2012 - These 2 cuties caught my attention. They are so adorable and fashionable at the same time

What's your favorite clutch?
