LUCIAN BROSCATEAN - DREAM MAP

Lucian Broscătean is a Romanian designer whose work I truly admire.

Lucian has graduated from the BA and MA Fashion Design Course at the University of Art and Design Cluj-Napoca ! 

He amazed me again with the fine lines, minimal influences and clean cuts of his newest collection : DREAM MAP.  Don't you simply love how wearable his pieces are ?

Now I know that for upcoming spring, I'll be looking for coats and trenches with these kind of minimal influence! Needless to say that the black & white game will ocuppy my soul for good.

JANUARY OUTFIT | it's all about the attitude

Shiny, short and tight - this skirt my sister received as a birthday present can be worn in millions of styles..and I've chosen the most men-repelling one ! :)) I threw on some tights under it, added the most granny-ish eyeglasses I own and of course, the "housewife" scarf in the hair and tadaaa, the outfit is ready !

But as long as you feel confident in what you wear and don't take yourself too serious, I think that any "man repelling" look can be perceived as a very sexy one. It's always about the attitude,isn't it ?!

& here you have another addictive song :

JANUARY | ALL THOSE THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR (I)

I've been thinking a lot lately about how I want my blog to look like and I've come up with this answer: 

I want it to be a little more personal. As I spend quite a lot of time on tumblr and other "inspiration" web pages and I save tons of random photos of lovely  things I though about taking my own lovely photos of random things.

 Therefore, every Sunday from now on I'll make a post with all the things / people / events I am grateful for.

So, here I go : I AM THANKFUL FOR ...

1... having a (really) confortable and cosy bed. ♥

2...all the delicious food I've eaten this week. ♥

 

3...having an wonderful family. ♥

 

4...this winter wonderland  ♥

5...having amazing friends that inspire me ♥

6...being young and surrounded by lively people! ♥

7...Toto, my everyday reason to smile ♥

Let me know what you think about this kind of posts !

Yours truly, Julls ♥

JANUARY OUTFIT | Studying or just dying ?

 Hello everyone ! As I am exremely busy with school my day to day school outfits look pretty much like this.

Confortable booties, masculine blazer and a confortable shirt and I'm ready to go.

But I am wondering, what do you usually wear while studying ? 

Do you put on your best clothes or you wear your pyjamas as soon as you start studying ?

 

And this is what I listen to when I'm not studying. Simply wonderful & I know you'll love it too.

NEW IN | BOOKS: 100 ideas that changed FASHION

 Hello dear dear readers ! I've received Harriet Worsley's book as a birthday present from my best class- mates. 

I've just finished reading it and I tought you'd also like to know more about it :)

So here is what Google says : 100 Ideas That Changed Fashion chronicles the most influential fashion ideas that changed womenswear in the West from 1900 to the present day. 

The book will be visually arresting, exciting to read and an inspiring fashion bible. Charting the incidents and ideas that changed the way women dress, it gives a unique perspective on the history of twentieth-century fashion.

Rather than just documenting the changes in fashion, it also explains why these changes happened. From the invention of the bias cut and the stiletto heel to designers such as Coco Chanel who changed the way we think about clothes, the book will be entertaining, intelligent and a visual feast.

If this review hasn't convinced you yet, I bet the photos will :)

JANUARY OUTFIT | My life is pretty pink right now ♥

"No one should negotiate their dreams. 

Dreams must be free to fly high. 

No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. 

You should never agree to surrender your dreams."

My life is pretty pink right now.
Thank God.

JANUARY OUTFIT | LET - THE - LINES - PLAY !

 

Hello again everyone ! One thing I really love to do while traveling around the country is thrifting (not that I wouldn't love to do it every-single-day) but it is always more exciting when you are for the first time in a shop and you have no idea what you can find. I spotted this stripped shirt in Sighetul-Marmatiei and of course, I had to take it home with me.

I think that these kind of "souvenirs" remind you more of a specific place than some random artefacts, don't you ?

Also, I found these pair of earrings which quickly became my absolute favourite in Meli Melo in an evening. It was love at first sight, I knew it, but I waited until next morning just to make sure I really, really need it.

During my "shopaholic" stage I spent (read : wasted) money on useless and stupid things.But since I went to "rehab" I think twice before each new purchase. So, this led me to this question : 

What kind of shopper are you ? Are you impulsive or you only buy what you need ? Or mabye somewhere in the between ? I'd love to hear your shopping tips ! 

++ One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time !

JANUARY OUTFIT | Good things come for those who wait.

Hello everyone :) How has your year started ? 

Mine started with a quick learning-trip to Hunedoara (~ 6h of Chemistry per day) and with a lazy-weekend in the mountines. I enjoyed them both, especially when I've found this blazer - perfect for school, isn't it ?

Moreover, I am involved in such a fun project that I can't wait to tell you more about. 

How about a place where some of us fashion lovers could meet and hang out? A day for ourselves, when we can chat about our interests. Since we know quite a few fashionistas in Cluj and the events in this field are so rare, we decided to make our own! 

And this is how Chat’elier was born.

The event will be organized periodically, on Sundays – as it’s somehow neutral. Sunday can  become the day for meeting with friends, watching fashionable shows, cooking something delicious or having fancy drinks.

The first edition will be this Sunday, January 15th, in Uptown Arts Caffee (David Ferenc 13, Cluj). The theme of the edition is perfumes, and there will be a dress code: put on something inspired by your favorite perfume. We’ll have a special menu and we’d love to see you there!

 Sign up/RSVP: flash@flashme.ro
