One year anniversary!!!

I've been waiting for this day! Today, TeenFashionDiary turns one !!! Well, at least this is what I consider to be its birthday because it was then I decided I really want to share my love,interests and passions online. Technically, I used to write some goofy posts at the begging of February 2011 but it was nothing serious, really. Just some teenager ramblings.

Words can't properly describe how I feel right now, it's kind of strange you have such a connection with your blog. I guess it's because of the time and passion I invest in it, I'm so happy to see it grow. It's the work and effort after all and I believe it is great to have a celebration day!

It's been a bumpy and wonderful year for sure, with school always taking me too much time. However, I've had some interesting collaborations, did some freelance writing, discovered my love for photography and bought a semi-professional camera, visited Prague and Budapest.

I want to thank my family, my friends and you..dear readers! You give me the strenght to go on and I feel lucky to have such supportive people here.

Now, I made a short selection of photos(it's actually pretty long, but I just loved all of them)- my very favourites. I want to mention that these are taken  only from the outfit posts. The photos I took can be found at the section  Details.

Thank you for all the patience and the love! Enjoy: 

Always believe in yourself!

Love, Mary

Apple on Apple

I believe fashion counscious people are always open towards new trends. When I decided it was time to start my own fashion blog it was because I felt I couldn't relate to the term "fashionable" in my community.

There are many people who don't understand the term TREND. I can't define it even at this moment, because it's something tricky in it. What is it about trends that makes people all over the world want to buy a maxi skirt  or clogs? Is it a good PR strategy or designers just make the best of certain patterns/colors/clothes?

I've always said to myself that I would not be the type of person who wears a thing just because it is IN. However, I do appreciate one thing about trends: they made me realise that some things can be really fun to wear.

Take this clutch/bag for example. I got it with the Nina Ricci perfume couple years ago and I didn't like it at all. Yet, this fall, when sparkles and glitters were all over the stores, in magazines, on fashion blogs it occured to me that I could wear it in many enchanting ways.

As for the Ipod, I love it because it's the closest thing to Iphone. I am a huge Apple fan (although I own  a Samsung Galaxy S II)  and the new Iphone 4S seems just amazing! They're definetely great products, and I love the quality and the design. I found this site with all kinds of phones at great prices, who knows, I may actually get one in the future.

My question is: 

Are there such things as FASHION PET PEEVES or the trends just make us be more open?

I love it, I blog it

Blogging is about expressing your thoughts towards different interests. I usually like to blog about the things I love. Of course, owning a fashion blog means ilustrating your opinion with pictures.

That's how my motto was born:

I love it, I blog it!

All my friends know they've nailed a gift by seeing it here. Therefore, one of closest friends, Diana, was really concerned about the blazer she gave me for Christmas because she has never seen me wearing it. Well, let me point this out: I love it, I'm usually into striped things and it has just the perfect fabric and shape!

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, it's been showing heavily here in Romania (schools are closed: YAY!!) and all I do is take silly photographs and watch Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl and Sex and The City.

What do you think about my blazer?
