mybag

Last week I won a £50 voucher for mybag.co.uk on The Fish Tank, which was a real surprize because I don't usually win blog giveaways, this is my second one. I don't enter many either because usually the giveaway sponsors don't ship internationally. Well mybag does, my pick for the entry wasn't available anymore and my mom saw this Nica satchel, loved it so I decided to give her my prize. Aww and I got a dotted scarf. I really like the bag too, I'm gonna steal it from time to time:)
Another surprize was the fast shipping, I mean they dispached the bag on friday and I received it yesterday, jaw dropper as I usually wait about 2 weeks for packages from Uk.

The pictures were taken in the balcony because the bag smells a little fishy (literally), but hopefully I will loose the smell. I must say it looks prettier than the pictures and it's well divided, it has a lot of pockets with cute printed lining.
I'll sure keep an eye on mybag and the shipping was only one pound for item.

Thank you Fritha!

Outfit post: last day of summer

I took this photos on Saturday after the shopping fail, it's the last summer outfit, though I still have some unposted photos from my vacation which I'm gonna post this weekend. If I'll wait more, it would be too late for shorts.
I have to say that I'm not gonna wear this shorts again ever, I don't know what was in my mind when I left the house, but let me tell you, I was about to buy another pair to change.
Funny thing, when I took the fountain photos the guard there asked us if we were french. Français? I actually took it as a compliment. And although I took a lot of outfit photos this "mistake" one is the only one I like, that's that.
Hope you like the rest of the photos.

Lanvin for H&M collection update

So, I guess I was wrong yesterday. Here is some info from the official announcement.

Designed by Lanvin’s artistic director Alber Elbaz, and mens­wear designer Lucas Ossendrijver the collection will go on sale in around 200 H&M stores. It will be launched November 20th in North America and on November 23rd in the rest of the world. The col­lection of both womenswear and menswear will be revealed to the world on November 2, just three weeks before the clothes hit the store, making the launch of Lanvin for H&M among the most antici­pated fashion events of the year.

“H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.” Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin.

“We are thrilled about Lanvin’s collection for H&M, it is such an exciting moment. Lanvin will bring to H&M a luxurious French tradition that is also modern and playful. It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men. The launch in November is go­ing to be full of wonderful surprises.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.

fall wishlist

You don't know how happy I am that fall is at last here, the temperature dropped instantly and I'll start uni in one month. I'm actually looking forward to start it because I stayed home too much, and when I stay home a long period I get bored, I eat a lot and I have a crazy urge to spend money.

Nevertheless, now I have an excuse to spend money, though I don't think I will get half of my wishlist because I won't find them here or there will be over my budget. So, I'm seriosly thinking on shopping online more, hopefully the shipping cost won't be more than the actual products:)
These items are only to have a model in my head when I'm looking for something, because they are way expensive for me or I'm too cheapskate buy them.

I love knitted sweaters, they remind of kindergarden when I had bright yellow knitted pullover, and it was sooo ugly. That's why I run from colors, when I was little I was the rainboy child, what can I say, my grandma loves them all.

What's on your list?

Camel it's everywhere, I want at least one piece, maybe I'll get a knitted sweater and save some money.

Lots of blazers, every model, every color.

I want a pair of tailored sweat pants, at least to try them to see how they look on me, Gio Goi skinny jeans from box-clothing.co.uk and another pair of carrot pants for fall.

I told I want a pair of leopard print flats, I saw a pair at Zara but they were furry and poorly sewn. Another type are these kind of broogues mixed with loafers, or a pair like these ones from Next. And they do ship to ro, only 5 euros:)

As you noticed I didn't include bags and accessories, they are on my list too, no worries. I ordered a ps1 look a like last week I just hope it will arrive until October, also, I saw a really cute bag at Parfois but I'm not gonna get it yet.

Lanvin for H&M

Damn, can't wait to see the collection, Alber Elbaz's designs for H&M will be available starting September 9th. I absolutely love Lanvin and can't wait for the h&m pieces eventhough, I won't get anything. Our h&m opens next year, but I don't think it will carry designer collaboration.
I'll post the line as soon as I'll see it, until then watch the teaser videos, I posted a couple below, if you want to see them all clicky here.

"This collection is very melodramatic, very, very melodramatic. It's actually very emotional, very funny, very us"

Update via Horst: it seems that Tati Cotliar and Natasha Poly are the models for the campaign, and maybe there will be a men line too. Lanvin for h&m :x

Shopping in Bucharest

Saturday, we had a blazing hot weather in Bucharest, so because my air conditioner broke I thought it was a good opportunity to check the fall collections at the mall, and maybe buy something.
I should have stayed home and endure the heat...
I had the biggest disspointed ever at Mango, the prices were sky high, I mean a print blouse for more than $50. Ok, it was $50, the model was ok but the fabric was low quality, I wouldn't pay more than $10 on it. The sad thing is that 80% of the collection, items in that Mango store, were expensive, for me, and low quality. At Zara, for instance, some are really expensive but let's face it, they use good fabric, when I touch them they don't feel like the ones from "12 lei produsul" ( $4 Made in China products). The blazer selection at Zara is exquisite, I would have bought all of them, but I'll get some when they will be on sale.
Bershka and Stradivarius, versions of Zara Trf, for teenagers, I couldn't stand a lot there because the music was scratching my ears. I do wonder, how the clerks there can stand it, or maybe I'm to sensitive.
New Yorker, a big designer inspired magazine, ehhm, actually almost all are designer inspired, but not the pieces I crave.
I ended up with a watch and a YSL inspired ring from Parfois, and I refrained to buy some bags, uhmm a lot of bags.
I asked a question about stores on my facebook page, kudos to Ioana for shopping mainly online and for sharing a special shop, La Clara, Tarina Tarintino rings a bell? I'm gonna check it out for sure. And kudos to Miruna too, for putting up with all the Made in China stuff:)
There will be a "shopping in Bucharest part II ,III...n" for sure and, hopefully, I'll shop online more. At the end of september a big designer shopping center will open here, can't wait to see what they'll have.

How about you, what are your fav shops?

ps: sorry for being m.i.a this weekend and don't forget to enter the $1000 polyvore contest and the Asuyeta giveaway.
