''A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.''-Coco Chanel

(Oh, how couldn't I include a photo of my new haircut in the moodboard?? At first I thought it would be just me bragging but hey- this is my blog and you have to put up with my weird moods- thank you for that, by the way!).

I want to go back to the lovely quote of Coco Chanel- I believe that what makes it so genius is its duplicity: it applies in the situations when you decide to make a radical change with your hair (like my BFF did one year ago- it was hard for me to get used to it but I have to admit she looks incredible!) and it's also a great way to comfort yourself after you cut a few inches just to keep your hair healthy.I'm in the second situation right now and I'm missing my long hair a lot (although my friends assured me that it's still long enough) and this quote just makes me smile!

Now, let's talk about the collage itself- I've been doing some reseatch ever since I write for TeenyStyle and I noticed so many cool clothes and trends that I just had to share my favourite selection around here as well. So, I will reveal my TOP 5 CURRENT OBSESSIONS:

Charlotte Olympia- Oh my, I could buy all the pairs in all the possible colors (even the kitten flats- cuteness overload!). I love the shades and how fun and unique her designs are!

Clash of prints (see Carven, Mary Katrantzou, Valentino this season) - A funny thing happened as I was writing this post- my mother walked in and said "Such a lovely dress!" . That's exactly what I'm talking about- I want to own two fabulous pieces with flawless prints which are also easy to combine (suuuure, I'll find them haha).

JCrew Necklaces- divine, creative and so many models to choose from!

Miu Miu wallet- It's one of my long-lasting obsessions (ever since I was 15) but I included this is the list because I love the new colors they have this season!

Lanvin Ipad case- so cool and creative, my Ipad would need a new 'outfit' but I want to focus on my closet this spring.

There you have it - what are you craving for right now?

My MoodBoard

Mood board= place where I keep my inspiration, favorite quotes, role models, and I must have some Vogues or favorite perfumes around! Also, let's not forget my name!

PS: Sorry for the lack of posts, my fab photographer has been away for quite a while! Photoshoot tomorrow!

Monday Muse: Ioana

Ioana, at Vogue Fashion Night Out, Paris, September 2011

This Monday's Muse happens to be one of the people that inspired me to start this amazing and interesting journey in the online world. Meet Ioana Liliana from Fashezine , a magic blog which I love visiting anytime. It's not only the flawless outfits and the impressive collection of shoes I love(you know me with my Miu Miu obsession!) , but also all the stories, the food journal and all the great tutorials and DIY posts. 

The photos are flawless, the design is so unique and Ioana is such a sweetheart when it comes to her readers.

 As for her style, she knows best how to mix feminine accents with pastel tones or interresting prints and she is one of the few people I've ever seen to rock white stockings. Each outfit tells a story , and, on top of that , decors are always breathtaking.

Ioana's incredible cupcakes

She is a Romanian blogger as well, and I'm really proud to see that we have so many talented people to stand up in the world wide fashion lately. She currently lives in Paris, so you have to check the details of the journey and the visual diary, too good to be true!

 Don't you just love her?

Little Treasures

 Oh my! This cape is driving me crazy, especially combined with the pussy bow blouse! Amazing!

As I have stated many times on here, I am an avid lover of what I call "virtual window shopping". I love finding all these shops and boutiques online, that I wouldn't probably have the chance to visit in real life.

Therefore, whenever I find a lovely place online, which seems trustworthy and with qualitative clothes, I like to spread the word, both online and offline. And well, I figured out a while ago, what a better place to write my thoughts other than my blog, where all of you, my dear readers are  stylish people, with a high taste in fashion.

And my last find is.. Ellos! When I came across to it, for the first time, I was rather intigued by their motto: "Welcome to Scandinavian style", since the domain was from UK. However, it didn't take me long to discover that Ellos is a long established brand in Sweden recently launched to the UK. 

The welcome of the page was warm&nice enough and I really like the styles offered for this season such as "Granny Glam" or "Fantasy Folk".

I couldn't help but notice they do faux fur, pussy bow blouses and different prints for this particular fall, still with a clean and simple line. I have made a selection of my favorite things I'm considerring to buy at some point:

Somebody please get me this leather bag! The color would match many pieces of my wardrobe so much!

A skirt with a clean cut, line, it's made of leather and it's color is TAN. It's like my ideal type of skirt, have you noticed how all the famous bloggers own a leather skirt?

That's right. You'd better do check the skirts , most of them are fall essentials, but you also get to see some lovely boho style skirts - maxi ones(remember me wearing maxi skirts this whole summer?!)

Owl ring- oh, the cutest thing!!! I own an owl ring but mine is a light silver one, I would so need one like this!

Oh dear cropped trousers, where were you when I needed you most? Noticed the lovely flats? Funny thing is that I have a similar pair, only on lavander.

My final vote for Ellos is YES. It was fun to discover all this mix of styles, prints and shapes. Have you found a treasure (online shop) you love spending your time on? Do share! :)

Good things will come my way.

So what if it's fall? We can still COLORBLOCK! by marylu1 featuring a tie shirt

I still can't get used to the idea it is fall now. Nothing changed except the weather, at least until Monday, when school starts again. I can't imagine how I will deal with it since it's such an important year, but I'd rather not think about it, at least for the time being.

I feel so inspired lately, I'm excited for the fashion weeks, even if I'll just have to watch the whole experience on style.com and other sites. I don't get why I should give up to bright colors this fall, I think I'll still keep some accents in my outfits (that's why you see that set above). I just have a good feeling, I'm optimistic, it will be my name day soon (I'm Mary, in case you have forgotten) and I have just realised I haven't done an inspiration post in months!

 

I soo want a Daisy Perfume right noww!

 

 I own a sweater just like this one, only not the same label haha! Oh well, can't wait to wear it this fall!

PS: I'm sorry I have no idea about  the source of the photos, Tumblr is a great place, but it'quite unfair for the owners of the photos, because not many people mention the source. Hence, I have no idea about the owners. Please let me know if you know something.

Fancy Friday!

So many fashionable ladies, all one the same street!

Also, if you have time and a facebook account, please try to vote my outfit for "Look of the day" here by clicking the "Like " button!

And may I say "THANK you" again to my followers? 200 sparkling ones now!

Have a lovely and magic weekend!

I feel magic in the air, I feel magic everywhere!

When I saw on that little Google box yesterday the shocking number 100, it was an amazing surprise! And of course, it gave me confidence at the same time.

I mean, I am sure that my readers who also happen to be blogger have been there, or are excited to get to that point. It may not seem a great achievement from the outside,  but to me is EVERYTHING at the moment. Because I know that at LEAST 100 lovely people passed by, each with a soul and an open mind, and they have read my thoughts or seen my outfits!

And it is true that...

I can't argue with that. It's just that I understand all of the above as signs. Signs that let me know that you, dear brilliant readers, are somewhere out there, and it just gives me the strenght and the motivation to go on!

Thank you so much!

♥♥♥♥

A girl can do what she wants to do and that's / What I'm gonna do

Okay, who is following me on Twitter surely knows about my love for Gala Darling 's blog. It's not that I've just discovered  her blog , I knew it for ages (literally), it's just that I'm now mature enough and commited to blogging so I can see the truth and wisdom in her words. I first discovered Gala's blog when I was almost 14, but I didn't know much English back then and she just seemed to me like a modern,  much younger and even more sparkling Madame Sparklington from the book I used to love as a child, A Glittering Guide for Young Ladies.
I always loved her column, though, no matter how old I was: "Things I love on Thursday". I sometimes make myslef lists, of things that I love, hate or want to improove. I make lists, generally.
What do I love today?
♥ Gala's genius &motivational posts and her one of a kind joie de vivre
♥ The fact that it was Mulberry's 40th anniversary this week (and just for the record, if one day you'll see a Mary M. bag you'll know who was the muse haha )

Mulberry Spring 2012

♥ My mind,  for it's creativity.
♥ The song "Blame it on girls"
♥ Using my pink lip liner as an colorblocking eyeliner 
♥ My dreams. It's nice to have some self time and think that someday you'll own a bag like this:

♥ Cooking (even I barely know how to cook couple of meals)

♥ Checking my e-mails and seing a good news

♥ My Zara blazer with striped sleeves

♥ Laughing whenever I  read "Cinderalla didn't Facebook stalked her Prince Charming!"

♥ Tumblr because I can find amazing pictures and motivational quotes like these ones:

♥ Pretty little liars. Okay, I've said it. I am Agatha's Christie biggest fan, this show just challenges my mind and I love it.

♥ My neon orange nail polish.

♥ The words "twinkle" and "escarpins"

♥ My mint and lemon belgian chocolate

♥ These Chloe pair of bow shoes. Loved them from the first day they hit the catwalk, still dreaming of them:

♥ The fact that I'm eating water mellon while I'm writing this

♥ Lace

So, the first question that I have in mind: What do you love today?

This is what I feel right now/ Fancy Friday

Take me away:A secret place ( In Natasha Bedinfield style). Or Paris, London, LA, NYC would be just fine, doesn't have to be secret haha! That's all I have in mind lately. I feel bad that I haven't taken photos with my camera in ages and I got this party tomorrow and.... I guess I'm quite in a middle of a chrisis because I have, literary, NO inspiration or ideas of what should I wear!

Love, Mary

You're so hypnotizing

Hello lovely & fashionable people! I missed you all, but my holiday has been full so far and I wasn't being able to post anything here.

Still, I brought some new things to the blog like it's own Facebook page. So, please like us on facebook if you haven't got the chance yet!

Anyways, I've been studying hard and discovered some interresting settings for my camera so I present you a whole lot of pictures in high quality featuring all the jewerly I've been buying in the past few months.

PS: Noticed they're all dusty gold??? So awkward..

Peacock neklace: Stradivarius, Rings:all by C&A

Necklace: Easter gift from my friend Andreea. Love you! x

I WISH....

 

GENIUS PICTURES  from my tumblr and some from  one of my muses: Gemma! Who is Gemma?  She is an awesome girl from Australia who's got the best TUMBLR in the world, and I say that because ....her blog is the one to blame for my current Miu Miu, Abbey, Mary Katrantzou, Sasha , Lara, Vogue Paris etc. obsession. I love her sence of humour especially and her exuberant nature.

Still, I feel like I owe you, my readers, an explanation and an excuse. I know I said I will be more active but as the title of the blog says: I'm a teen! And teens go to highschool so I've been super busy with all kinds of exams and projects. It will probably last one more week or so, and I cannot wait to post here as much as I can!

I snapped some pictures in the last few weeks, but then my camera's batery died and I can't find that damn thing to charge it again and it's annoying since I got so many outfits and poses in mind lately!


Anyway, I'm not kidding this time! Just give me one week to get straight A-s and to cool down a little! Thank you! ♥♥♥♥

She smiles!

I admit , I love fooling around with my (OLD, LAME) camera so this picture came out pretty natural.  I was playing with my favourite eyeliner that my mate Silvia found for me in an eyeliner heaven. I was pretty lost, because I always get like the worst so she really saved me, thank youuu!

Of course, even if I have such a fancy makeup item that doesn't mean I'm actually able to use it haha

So the concept of this was pretty simple and totally unpredictionable. I had this mirror close to me and I wanted to take a glance at my "let's put some jewerly on the head" look , but I accidentally took a picture at the same time! Total luck, since I never look acceptable in pictures, as I look in this one.

In fact, I don't even know why I decided to post this but I'm just so happy right now from various reasons and I just feel that everyone should smile, at least one time in a day, no matter how rough or busy can life get!

Fancy Friday - Photo

Oh my, haven't got time to write on here lately! I'm just taking a short break from Maths to start a new column on my blog. What I love about my favorites fashion blogs is that they all have a themed day, with a themed photo.

I chose Friday because I'm always so excited for the weekend and I usually have an inspiration rush.. This week...

Gorgeous Ana Selezneva! It's my profile picture everywhere: TUMBLR, LOOKLET hahaah
