The Corail Necklace

Hello , my loves! Sorry for not posting sooner, but I am currently enjoying myself in a different town, at my cousin's place. It's exhausting and amazing at the same time, I mean all the tenis, bicycle time, shopping, movies and making new friends..I LOVE IT HERE! 9 days just doesn't seem enough anymore!

I took these pictures couple days before I left my hometown actually, when I went out with my best friend S. to relax a little. I have been wanting to show you this necklace for ages (literally), because it's one of my favourites statement jewellery plus it has this awesome corail shade! Also, I tried something different with my hair because I love this headband with leaf motifs, plus it matched my flats. Now, I can't say enough things to praise this dress! It's just the perfect summer essential, and the fabric feel incredibly on my skin.

Well, I just had the most incredible time with some of my new friends in Copou and tomorrow it's Palas time with another friends (again!), so I don't know what should I add. I know I usually have some words of wisdom so I'm going to rely on my latest experience:

Stay amazing and true to yourself and always keep an open mind! Life is full of unexpected & pleasant surprises and you should make the best of them!

Before I start with the aim of this post, please take a look at my oh-so-wanted golden choke necklace I  have just received yesterday (you can also buy it online here). I cannot wait to show you how well it matches a particular outfit!

Now, hello there!  Absence once again, posting in a rush once again, but this time is all about telling you that I figured out how we can keep in touch without me struggling to post on a regular basis. I'm sure you have all heard about Instagram and that plenty of you even have an account. I don't usually pick a favorite social network, but this is the one! I love being on Instagram more than anything because I can keep everyone who is interested updated and I love how I can post about the little things (like my light dinner) or the live coverage while shooting for an outfit post. I am @marymanaila there and no worries, I have figured out everything! If you don't have a phone that supports Instagram or you're just not fond of the app , you can see all the news at the web version of my profile.

For those who didn't know about this, I am more than happy to show&tell how my  hectic week was(with photos taken from my Instagram  profile, of course):

Here it's me matching pearls with Mademoiselle Chanel, haha. 

This is a photo I took Friday night when I attended a fancy ball with an 'black&white' dress code. This also represents a sneak peak of the outfit I've been trying to post here for the last three days.

  

This is the lovely dinner I had yesterday ! Oh, I love those sweet potatoes and refreshing strawberries for dessert! Nevertheless, tea keeps me sane :)

Mint affair again, this time with matching lavender flats. You'll see more of this outfit in a few days , hopefully. And aw, have you noticed there's a mint ice cream in my hand?

The most lovely print for a couch, not mine unfortunately, but still incredible!!

Another photo from the ball, the location was divine!!!

Incredible ice cream cake my baby sis had for her name day. It was so delicious and incredibly looking at the same time!

Again the genius necklace.

Well this is my life lately (@marymanaila), what about yours?

Everything new..and I'm still loving you!!

Well, I think it's like the 100th time I say here that I've spent all my savings on clothes. Oops, I did it again! I couldn't wait for sales and bought a douzen of interesting items, I feel it's like a little reinvention of my closet!  Also, one of my 2012 resolutions is to post more photos of my outfits and I think I nailed this time, take a look and then feel free to express your opinion  :)

Now , regarding the look, I can now proudly say that I have found the casual dress of my life- leopard print, from Zara and which can be turned into the smartest one (trust me, I have worn it at the New Year Party with the proper accessories). Also, EVERYTHING that I'm wearing is new, I jump around like a little child everytime I look at the photos. I tried to go for nude tones with this dress, and the camel coat seemed just the ultimate and perfect touch to everything.

Also, thank you Andreea for the most marvelous bracelets(as you can see bellow), Cristi for the gorgeous Orsay rings and Ioana who took these fabulous shots.

No snow in Romania yet, but I still have hope!

Whew, that must have been exhausting for you, going through all the photos(hope you haven't cheated ha!). Thank you very much , you are one amazing and incredibly loyal reader if you have just done that. 

Kisses and ♥, Mary

♪Train- Shake up Christmas ♪

This Christmas was completely special for me. I have bought a lot more gifts than usual because this year I had the luck to bound with so many incredible people, I got an amazing surprise from Santa, I got to spend half of Christmas's eve with one of my best friends and the first day of Christmas with my other one(soul sister x). I also went caroling with my class and my family has been very kind and supportive.

This is a short visual diary of this holiday, which happens to be my very favourite. The bad thing is that it didn't snow at all, but oh well..when I saw that big box under the Christmas tree I instantly forgot about it.

I wouldn't have dreamed in my wildest dreams that I would get an Ipad, not to mention a Marc Jacobs case, which I ABSOLUTELY adore! Funny thing, I have always thought that my first expensive bag would be a Miu Miu, but I love Marc Jacob's creations and this is no exception!

Therefore, enjoy the story..

A part of the gifts, I'm so sorry I didn't got to photograph the two huge boxes, but you gotta love the cute wrapping ♥

I love this shade of pink! It says fuchsia on the tag, but it's honeysuckle to me and you know how much I love honeysuckle!!! ♥

One of my most favourite globes, had to post it here.

My most loved necklace at the moment, gift from Simona.

Incredibly expensive chocolate box with little crystals on it. I don't know if it's really that expensive normally, but when you ramble and laugh with your bestfriend at midnight, in her car, you end up in a gas station , with her buying you pom poms and this ♥

Happy holidays everyone!!!

It's a new day, it's a new life

Lovely leopard print, gift for some special one and my sparkling headband

Just stop for a moment. You are reading this right now, so this must be a moment of your leisure time.

Open the window, even if it's freezing outside and you pay n millions on your bill .Feel the fresh  and cold air. Inhale and exhale. Clear your mind, you are an amazing person, with goods and bads! 

And just remeber...

"It's a news dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life"

I'm feeling good :)

And the ring goes to...

Missed it much? Picture taken with my new Samnsung Galaxy S2

Phew, I know, I'm late even at my own giveaway! The truth is that school is so hectic right now, and I miss so much posting around here and taking photos of my outfits and so on, it's just that I need more time!

On a brigther side, we end the first giveaway of this blog. It's been so fun, and for the others that haven't won the ring I have some great news: there will be a new giveaway in a couple of weeks!

And the winner is...

Madalina, with comment number #3!

 I have to e-mail her right away! And oh, sorry Madalina for taking it out of the box for a last photo!  Thank you everyone, you are all amazing and I plan to host as many giveaways as I can, so , who knows, maybe everyone will win at some point.

It's the way I’m feeling I just can't deny

Before I start the real post let me ask you one more time: Have you entered the amazing, incredible & unique giveaway I am hosting yet? You'd better, because we are close to an end!

In other news, I am freezing in my little town!The weather might seem okay in the photos, but oh..the things I do for the blog...For real, I barely can wear anything but UGG since Friday, when I attended the most awesome prom(and I wore some killer shoes) and not to mention my big , fluffy , white coat.  I look like an Eskimo, a very cute one though haha.

But, you see, I couldn't take the coat on, I mean I LOVE my bow sweater from Zara and it's so much fun to play around the close tone. The boots from Bata are also very comfy, not fashionable, but comfy, and that is exactly what my feet need right now:

Sweater: Zara

Top: Zara

Pants: H&M

Socks: Zara

Boots: Bata

Necklace: Orsay

Je t'adore, DIOR!

The lovely Steilman sweater wasn't the only thing my aunt gave me on her birthday (yes, I know, she has gifts for me even on her special day!). I am a happy owner of a J'adore Dior creamy shower gel, which simply does miracles to my skin!

I just loved the portrait of it and my golden details . This must be because I have chosen my furniture like this, to give the room a clear space, and I love spreading my accesories and makeup everywhere, I call it an methodical chaos(my mom  disagrees, though). About the jewelry,

Necklace: Claire's (from Prague)

Ring: Accessorize
