Gypsy heart


Encyclopedia lesson of today will be in tune with the chosen style so I will present generalities about Gypsy world.
The origin behind the "Gypsy" term or (Zingari, tsigans, Zigeuner, cigan, cikani) derived from the Greek word "athinganein" (translated: "do not touch"),  which was the name of a heretic sect on which it was practiced the isolationism. Because in the Middle Ages it was assumed that the gypsy originated in Egypt in some languages ​​use other names for them, derived from the word "Egyptian" like "Gypsy", "Gitano" and others.
Gypsy style is inspired by Gypsy wear, being easy to spot due to the explosion of electrifying colors and  by the opulence of accessories and here I am referring primarily to the large and round earrings and the already famed coins; is already known their affinity for gold or golden. The gypsy ladies choose to wear clothing in colors according to their moods, so blue-green means sad soul , yellow and orange happiness and ruby- red means love and luck. They are adding a romantic air with the braids hairstyles made​​. 
Gypsy style has become also wearable  for the rest of the masses and not just by the minorities, being adapted and stylized so that it fits the trends of the moment.
Hug you all <3

Lectia de enciclopedie de astazi va fi in ton cu stilul ales si anume va voi prezenta generalitati din lumea tiganilor.

Provenienta termenului de "țigani" (zingari, tsigans, zigeuner, cigani, cikani) deriva din grecescul "athinganein", (tradus: "a nu se atinge"), care era numele unei secte de heretici asupra carora se practica izolaționismul.  Pentru ca in evul mediu se presupunea ca originea romilor ar fi din egipt in unele limbi se folosesc alte denumiri derivate din cuvantul “egiptean” cum ar fi: "gypsy", "gitano", s.a. 
Stilul gypsy este inspirat din portul tiganesc remarcanduse foarte usor datorita exploziei de culori electrizante cat si a accesoriilor opulente si aici ma refer in primul rand la cerceii mari si rotunzi cat si la deja faimosii banuti; tot de notorietate fiind si afinitatea lor pentru aur sau auriu. Tigancile aleg sa poarte hainele in culori in functie de starea lor de spirit, astfel, albastru- verzui inseamna suflet trist, galbenul si portocaliul fericire, iar rosul- rubiniu inseamna dragoste si noroc. La toate astea se adauga coafurile realizate prin impletituri. Acest stil a devenit purtabil si de restul maselor nu doar de minoritati, fiind adaptat si stilizat astfel incat sa se incadreze in trendurile momentului.
Va imbratisez cu drag <3

In town



Today I want to introduce you a small part of the city of my soul, Iasi.
Also named the city of the seven hills due to the relief with altitudes ranging between 40 and 400 m, is the cultural center, economic and academic of Moldova area. Iasi is the city of great ideas, the first major union, the first theatrical performance in Romanian language, the first literary memorial museum and the first Museum of Natural History. Here was founded and operates the first university in Romania, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, today one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the country, university that I graduated and I'm very proud of. In terms of sightseeing and recreational opportunities of the city is very tender with many historical monuments and buildings with historical significance and unique architecture; churches and monasteries, knowing that this city runs various religious processions; parks and gardens, museums and cultural institutions. Not to mention the multitude of cafes, terraces and clubs spread on the city. However the core is represented by the Palace of Culture (former Royal Palace) area, which you can admire it in the photos below. This perimeter blends the fashionable with bohemian, the modern with antiquated, the contemporary with historical.
Hug you all!

Supranumit si orasul celor sapte coline datorita formelor de relief avand altitudini variind intre 40 si 400 m, este centrul cultural, economic si academic al MoldoveiIasiul este orasul marilor idei, al primei mari uniri, al primului spectacol de teatru in limba romana, al primului muzeu literar memorial si al primului Muzeu de Istorie Naturala. Aici a fost fondata si funcționeaza prima universitate din Romania, Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza, astazi una dintre cele mai prestigioase instituții academice din tara, universitate pe care am absolvit-o si eu si de care sunt foarte mandra. Din punct de vedere al obiectivelor turistice cat si al posibilitatilor de agrement orasul este foarte ofertant avand nenumarate cladiri si monumente istorice cu o incarcatura istorica si o arhitectura aparte; biserici si manastiri stiut fiind faptul ca in acest oras se desfasoara diferite procesiuni religioase; parcuri si gradini, muzee si institutii culturale.

Totusi nucleul aflandu-se in zona Palatului Culturii (fostul Palat Domnesc), pe care puteti sa-l admirati in fotografiile de mai jos. Acest perimetru impleteste mondenul cu boemu, modernul cu perimatul, contemporanul cu istoricul.

Boohoo interpretation



What I love about this look is that you can make up the rules as you go along. The idea is to create something that is soft and feminine. Is all about mixing and matching creating a balance between mess, artistic and vintage chic.  What is also great about this style is that you can adapt it through the seasons. 
I will describe it as a great casual daywear having as a principals defining elements: ethnic influence, floppy hat, wide leg trousers, fringed bags, large sunglasses, maxi length skirt, big belts, print tunic, waistcoat... Even more important to remember is that boohoo suits all shapes and sizes.
When it comes to accessories the more the merrier but I must admit I'm always scared to put to many this it always been my fear :( I'm still working on it.
On the below post I gave a new interpretation of this style adding a romantic touch by the hairstyle.
Hug you all!

Ceea ce ador la acest stil este ca poti crea regulile din mers. Ideea principala este aceea de a crea ceva lejer si feminin. Totul consta in a combina si a asorta creand in acelasi timp o balanta intre aparent neglijent, artistic si vintage chic. Ceea ce este deasemenea grozav la acest stil este faptul ca piesele vestimentare pot fi adaptate de la un sezon la altul.
L-as descrie ca un stil casual de zi avand ca principale elemente definitorii: influente etnice, palari cu boruri mari care atarna, pantaloni evazati, genti cu franjuri, ochelari de soare mari, fuste lungi, curele late, bluze cu imprimeuri, veste... Si mai important de retinut este faptul ca stilul boohoo vine bine pe orice fel de silueta.
Cat despre accesorii cu atat mai multe cu atat mai bine, insa trebuie sa admit ca mereu mi-a fost teama sa pun prea multe, aceasta fiind temerea mea :( dar inca lucrez la acest aspect.
In postarea de mai jos am dat o noua interpretare acestui stil adaugand o nota romantica prin coafura.
Va imbratisez cu drag!

Le vent nous portera


After a few tumultuous days I decided to let myself drift into a world of fantasy , a world of fairy tales; a dreamy world altogether. A world in which all the wishes come to life being at your grasp, a world filled with smiles, love and beauty. I'm proposing a day in which us all should try to detach from our mundane life and step into the perfect world of our hearts desire. A day to stay and contemplate in front of a magnificent landscape, a painting, or even a flower and to notice the tenderness, perfection, beauty, mastery, artistry and even to look beyond that HER whoever HER might be.  
Hug you all <3

Dupa cateva zile mai tumultoase am decis sa ma las purtata de vant intr-o lume de poveste, o lume a basmului si a viselor frumoase. O lume, in care dorintele se transpun in realitate devenind tangibile, o lume plina de zambete, iubire si frumusete. Va propun si voua macar pentru o zi sa incercati sa va detasati de monden si sa va inchipuiti lumea in care ati vrea sa traiti. Sa stati sa contemplati in fata unui peisaj, tablou, picturi sau a unei flori, sa-i observati gingasia, perfectiunea, frumusetea, maiestria si chiar sa priviti dincolo de EA oricare ar fi acea EA.
Va imbratisez cu drag <3
