Come on, cowboy!

The cowboy/country girl mood is having a moment this spring. Yesterday, I watched Brokeback Mountain (that movie is phenomenal) and it came to me that it actually really matched the D&G spring '10 show. Lots of faded denim, leather shirts and leather belts, cowboy boots and hats, denim and flannel shirts... All accompanied by a great setting and wonderful actors. You can already see most pieces by D&G in cheap versions in stores and on the street. I've already tried on denim dresses by H&M and Zara, and you can find cowboy boots everywhere. Denim shirts can be thrown over anything, and white, embroidered dresses look great with a leather belt tied around your waist. To complete the look, just add a pair of aviators and tie a cute scarf around your neck. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find the perfect cowboy hat...

Life and lessons in Romania

I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Suceava, Romania, while writing this post. Tommorow, I'll travel by train to Bucharest and I'll stay there for a few more days. I'll be flying home on Monday. It has been a lot of fun these two weeks, and I've learned a lot. But because pictures tell you more than words, here are a few pictures I made:

traditional Romanian fashion

Something completely different; I absolutely adore the jewellery collection Tom Binns made inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Admit it; you would love to find these pieces in a rabbit hole!

Viva Romania!

I'm kind of freaking out right now, because I'll be on a plane to Romania tomorrow. I still have to pack a lot of things and do a lot of stuff, and it's half past ten already and I have to be at the airport tomorrow by half past seven. This is a project of my high school; we're going to teach English to Romanian kids and teenagers. I'll teach students who're older than me (they're 16/17) which is kind of weird actually, and hard, because English is not my native language. However, this is a great opportunity and I think it will be a good learning experience. I'll be in Romania for two weeks, and I don't know if I'll be able to post anything, so maybe you won't hear from me until I'm back.
To leave you with some fashion-related stuff: I'm very obsessed by wedges currently. I really have to get a pair this spring/summer. Here some wedges-inspiration from Lookbook:

Wedges from Topshop:

Sea of Love

I really loved this shoot from Teen Vogue's April 2010 issue. The idea of romantic prom dresses photographed on a beautiful dreamlike beach just worked for me. I really got the atmosphere. I turned the pages like a maniac while things like Jane Austen novels, indians, old sailors, Atlantis, summer in Fiji, living on a uninhabited island and sand castles ran through my head.

The outfit I wore today was inspired by the shoot. I gave my white lace dress a less bridal feeling by throwing a grey sweater over it.

Sweater: H&M, lace dress: Topshop, necklace: de Bijenkorf, tights: V&D, shoes and bag: vintage.

I just can't wait till it's warm enough to swim in the sea... I live near the sea, so when the weather is nice enough, I can just cycle to the beach and be there in twenty minutes. It's one of the greatest things about the place where I live.
