Petrecere cu Perne/Pillow Party

Dupa parerea mea exista doua lucruri care nu pot fi niciodata prea multe sau prea colorate: bratarile pe mana  si pernele in pat. Daca vara trecuta a inceput o adevarata nebunie cu asa numitele arm cady sau arm party, de ce nu am face si un pillow party. Adica perne cu multe fete colorate cu care sa ne decoram la maxim patul sau canapeaua.
In my opinion there are 2 things that can never be too much or to colorful: bracelets and pillows. If last summer was invaded by the so called arm candy or arm party, why wouldn't there be a pillow party. Meaning a lot of pillows to fully decorate your bed or couch.

Sunday Smoothie: Papaya&Ananas/Papaya&Pineapple

Am vazut zilele trecute la televizor cum in supermarketurile noastre are loc o invazie de fructe exotice ale caror denumiri sunt mult prea complicate pentru axonii neuronilor mei. Si ca o adevarat aventuriera am plecat in cautarea lor. Din pacate m-am ales doar cu un papaya nu foarte copt si un ananas numai bun. Asa ca pana dau de un mangostan va arat un smoothie de duminica din recolta actuala.
A few days ago I saw on TV that there is an exotic fruits invasion in our supermarkets, with names way to complicated for my neuron's axons. And like a true adventurer I went to find them. Unfortunately my only reward was a barely ripe papaya and a good pineapple. So until I find a mangosteen around, I'll show you a Sunday smoothie with the actual harvest.

Sunday Smoothie: ananas&cocos&smochine/pineapple&coconut&figs

Smoothie-ul de azi a fost inspirat de un ingredient pe care nu il gasesti foarte des in magazinele de la noi: laptele de cocos. Daca aveti norocul sa-l gasiti va invit atunci sa incercati urmatorul smoothie. Este delicios.
Today's smoothie was inspired by an ingredient that you can't find very often in my country: coconut milk. But I was lucky enough to get some so I invite you to try the next smoothie. It is absolutely delicious.

Shopping Bag #1

In ultimul timp am vizitat mall-ul doar pentru ca cel mai apropait supermarket e in el. In sezonul de iarna nu prea am chef de cumparaturi si ma rezum la cateva pulovere in care sa a ascund pana vine iar soarele. Dar cand incepe sezonul de reduceri...aici e alta poveste. Mai ales cand gasesc ceva ce sa-mi placa si sa fie si pe marimea mea.
Lately I've been going to mall only because the nearest supermarket is inside it. In winter season I don't really feel like shopping and I settle for a couple of sweaters that I can hide in until the sun comes back again. But when Sales are on....well that's another story. Especially when I find something that I like in my size which is so rare.  
Asa ca iata cu ce m-am ales dintr-o vizita scurta de shopping:
So this is what I got in a quick shopping spree:

Be my Valentine

A venit Februarie, luna iubirii, a trandafirilor rosii si a ursuletilor de plus. Si bineinteles ca nu puteam lasa sa treaca Valentine's day fara un tutorial. Unul simplu si unisex pentru ca felicitarea pe care o vom face o puteti oferi atat iubitei cat si iubitului.
February is here, the month of love, of red roses and teddy bears. And of course I couldn't let Valentine's day to slip by without a tutorial. An easy one and unisex because the card that we will be making can be offered to a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

Sunday Smoothie: mango & kiwi

Smoothie-ul de astazi este fratele mai exotic al celui de saptamana trecuta. Desi bananele sunt la fel de exotice ca si mango-ul, pe cele dintai le consumam de foarte mult timp si deja au intrat in meniul zilnic al multora dintre noi, spre deosebire de mango. Dar trebuie sa stiti ca fructele de mango contin foarte multa vitamina C si betacaroten care sunt antioxidanti foarte puternici si in plus au un continut ridicat de fibre si mai putine calorii decat bananele. Deci data viitoare cand dati peste ele in magazin nu ezitati sa cumparat vreo 2.
Today's smoothie is the exotic brother of the one from last week. Although bananas are as exotic as mango, we eat them for so long and they became a regular food in our daily menu. But you have to know that mango fruits have a lot of vitamin C and beta carotene which are both very powerful antioxidants, they have a high content of fibers and  less calories than bananas. So next time you see them at the market don't hesitate to buy a couple of them.

Working on lately

Vin la ceas de seara cu o postare tarzie pentru a motiva absenta de pe blog din ultima saptamana. Am inceput sa lucrez la o colectie noua pe care vreau sa o termin pana la primavara si din fericire, in ultimul timp inspiratia s-a simtit ca la ea a acasa in jurul meu. Si nici nu e de mirare cand sunt inconjurata de atatea lucruri dragute. Iata cateva dintre ele:

Here I am with a late night post to excuse my absence from the last week. I started working on a new collection which is due this summer and fortunately inspiration made herself at home around me lately. But I guess that's normal when you are surrounded by so many pretty things. Here are a few:
