A little update :)

Hello, there!

Yep, I'm still living. And I am good, I could say. I am really busy with school and homework, but I am also dreaming about my handmade world. You read right. Handmade.

I've opened a shop on Breslo.com, a site about handmade. I am very proud to say I had my first order *blush*. Right now, in my cozy home, I am painting a canvas, which is almost finished. I am working on it for more than a year, so, yep, I should be ashamed of myself.

I'll show you an illustration. Hope you'll find it nice :D


P.S. Click here to go to this product in my shop.

See you soon,

It's raining, it's raining

Hello, there :)

It's been ages since I've last posted. I am so sorry.

High school life is either hard and beautiful. It has so much to offer, and yet so much to take. Yesterday was our first autumn day - for real. It has been raining since yesterday morning, but I enjoy it. It feel really nice to stay warm and cozy in your own home.

What have you been up to lately?

See you soon,

Larisa

Fall must haves

Oh, hello :)

Here comes the fall, right? Well, fall isn't just around the corner - it's right in front of us. So, in my opinion, we have to prepare ourselves for this upcoming season. Phisically and spiritualy.

Here are 5 must haves for fall:

1. Boots/wedges2. Scarves

3. Knitted beanies

4. Tights

5. Cardigans

What are you fall must haves? :)

September

Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's already September. Seriously, it don't feels like autumn here at all - we're still having 33 degrees Celsius. Can you believe that? I don't!

I can't wait to start wearing scarves, knitted cardigans and boots! What about you? Are you looking forward to Fall?

P.S. Here, the school will start on 12 September. Just 10 days left.

Charlotte Ronson

Today, on the Teen Vogue's site, I've discovered the fall collection of Charlotte Ronson and I have to say it's amazing. I like the concepts, the colors. I love everyting about it. Check it out.

I love the boots (always wanted to own such a pair). Also, the tights are incredibly chic and, oh my, the jacket - I like the collar.I really enjoy the strips on the shirt and also, the sunglasses are a must.

What do you think?

My first look on LOOKBOOK

This is my very first look on LOOKBOOK.nu. I am both excited and nervous. My head is full of questions. What if people won't like it? What if I made a mystake posting it online?

Omg, please calm me down. But...what's done is done, right?

Well, enjoy :D ( and maybe hype. just maybe)

Baby, it's cold outside

As the cold season is right after the corner, I thought it might be a good idea to post some of my favourite finds for this the fall/winter season. This season I would like to be more confident!

This season I am in love with all the blue cuteness. I can imagine me wearing this knitted bow-jacket with skinny jeans and a pair of wedges. What do you think?

[source]

Oh-my-god. I can't say one more word. The picture speaks itself. I really think this mohair knitted velvet bow-jacket is a MUST-HAVE.

[source]

Well, this look left me speechless. I mean, look at all those details and all that hard work (because it's handmade). I would really like to own such a piece for the cold days.

What are your favourite pieces for this upcoming season?

London - the capital of endless beauty // part two

Here there is the emblem that stands on the top of the Buckingham Palace's gates. Can you imagine that in the back of those gates happends to be the Queen, the guardians and the whole story?
Here I am in front of the statue of Queen Victoria. At the bottom of the statue there is written "Victoria- Regina Imperiatrix". It's so stunning and worth visiting!There we are. Here, my aunt was taking the picture of the rest of us on the bridge, while we were admiring the Tamisa River. Right near us, there was the London's Eye and in the back, the Parliment.
And, of course, the famous Big Ben, from where the clocks are set in the entire world.

There are many, many more pictures taken and words to say, but I don't want to make from this post a sea of photos. I'll share gradualy, so that I won't bore you in any way :)

Thank you so much for reading.

London - the capital of endless beauty // part one

So, on 6 August 2011, right before the attacks started, my mother, my aunt, my uncle and me came to chase the beauty of London. I can't express in words how many butterflies this city gives me. I can only say that everytime I visit it I feel good. I feel complete. I feel more like myself.Right above, me and my beloved mom were opening the gates of faith, love and will. We were standing in front of the Buckingham Palace, where the Queen was home ( we knew that because the flag was stiff).

Here there is me standing in the back of the statue of Nelson and right in front of the National Galleries, which, I have to say, are fabulous. You have to visit them and admire the talent of so many painters.

Right here I am standing in front of a sign that guides you to the Westminster Abbey, which I've visited and it's absolutely amazing. The arhitecture is simply stunning. Also, the sign leads you to the House of Parliment, which, in my opinion, looks like a palace from the fairytales.

I'll come back with more. Love you,

Larisa

Back from the UK :)

Hello there :)

I've just popped up over here to say a little hello from home. To be honest, I haven't missed home that much. That's mainly because of the beauty that lays in every little thing there.

I can't explain how I feel everytime I arrive in the UK. It feels like I belong there and nowhere else. I love that country with all my soul. After Romania, it's my very favourite.

I'll write a post full of photos soon. Be prepared !

P.S. I'm glad to post here after such a long time :)

Cotton candy and what I wore

Hello,loves!

Yesterday was a tough day. It was the day before our math exam, which means we had a very stressful time. Anyhow, all day I tried to worry as little as possible and relax.

In the evening, me, my parents and Puf, my bestie, went to the local park. It was a nice experience. We took a long walk, talked and ate cotton candy. Here are some peeks into our day.

Here is what I wore:

Floral dress: Mr. Lee
White flats: Aliss
Bicycle necklace: Fashion Jewelry
Pearl ring: Mireille Bijoux

How was your day?

What I wore to the prom

Hey, there!

Our prom (we graduated the 8th grade) was an incredible experience for all of us, but I think it took me too long to talk about it. It happened on 26th May 2011, on a late night.

We danced,ate, laugh and simply felt good. I was so nervous about it that I could bite my nails. It ended out to be one of the best moments with my school ever. Thank you for making it so special, mates, teachers and friends! (and also thank you, my dear readers,for letting me share this experience with us).

Well, my outfit was long planned and well thought. After I saw the dress in the left of the page I completely fell in love with it and knew I had to have it,so I searched for the material on Ebay and then went to a local dressmaker- and it happened. It was all mine!

Here there are some pictures of me before going to the actual prom.

So what do you think? How were you dressed at your prom?

Haircut idea

In the last couple of months I've been thinking a lot about changing my haircut. This is mostly because now my hair isn't that rich - the medication I'm taking made it fall a lot,so a shorter hairstyle is a must now, until it will be completely regenerated.

What do you think about it?

Everything you can imagine is real

Hello, there!

This is just a quick post letting you know I've just listed the illustration above. It's called 'Everything you can imagine is real' and is inspired by my dreams as a little girl, when I was dreaming of a world similar to 'Alice in Wonderland' [and I still am, shhh].

What were your dreams as a little child?
