Burgundy & Sequins

♪ Calvin Harris & Florence Welch- Sweet Nothing ♪

I'm so HAPPY tha I'm actually able to write on the blog right now! It's been a rough week and the next two ones will be even harder as I have my exams and everything. Fortunately, we don't have school tomorrow so it will be a long weekend and well deserved break for me!!!

As I said before, I was so anxious to write this post because I have missed you guys so much(I hope you can appreciate the fact that even I was busy I managed to reply to everyone's mails) and also because I finally get to show you my burgundy sweater, such a great essential and trend for this fall! Oh, have I mentioned it also has sequins all over it? This is what made me buy it actually, I always had a thing for fabulous & shiny clothes!

Now , I know there are less pictures, but this is only because I was in a rush and I found a great spot regarding the light. Needless to say, 5 minutes after I finished posing that fabulous light vanished!! Also, starting now , the photos of my details will have TeenFashionDiary's logo on the left/right because I have found many photos with over 1000 notes on Tumblr which belong to me , yet I wasn't credited. Even though I mailed everyone who posted them, I only got two replies and I was so dissapointed! You can see the photos I was talking about at my Tumblr: marylueden.

Anyways, how cool is the matching burgundy necklace from Accessorize? I got it two years ago, on sale and I paid like 4 euros, when bordeaux wasn't a cool shade and statement necklaces weren't so popular. Now I congratulate the old me as the investment(if you can call spending 4 euros that haha) was a total success!!

Have a wonderful day, my dear readers, and don't forget that even if I'm not able to post so often I always think about you!

Wait, I forgot to talk about one more thing, the hairstyle, which you can properly see after the break. I believe every girl should find an easy-peasy and yet outstanding way to do her hair when she's on the run. Mine takes 5 minutes and it's super comfortable to wear(and yes, it is my actual hair!)! Let me know what you think, as I got some requests on doing vlogs about hair and beauty.

The perfect loose sweater

♪ Adele -Skyfall♪

Stressed but well dressed - this is how I would describe myself lately, I mean I least I try with the 'well dressed' part haha but I feel like there's not enough time, or maybe I have no idea how to manage mine! Therefore, a trick is in order for girls like me, who are always in a rush and still want to look fabulous: 

Invest in a key piece for fall, incredible, unique yet still easy to wear on a regular basis! 

I found mine at Zara, two weeks ago, and I couldn't be more happy! I'm talking about this white loose sweater, with the most amazing fabric, cut and easy to match with all my jewellery! I almost wear it too much, but you'll see after you click for 'MORE' why, it has a fancy detail in the back. Also, I'm sure you noticed the background- the same old background which I call the 'emergency' one as I have too many pictures taken here plus it's not cute as well...Oh well, forgive me, I had to show you this sweater somehow!

As for the song I chose it's because I went with my cousin and some friends and saw Skyfall, the new James Bong movie. I'm sure you've heard of it, it is an action movie with a huge budget and amazing actors after all but the thing that impressed me most was the subject! Overall, I got the following idea:

You shouldn't give up on yourself, on your hopes and dreams and that there's always a place for a new beginning or, as Adele would sing it 'Skyfall is where we start'.

But wait, there's another thing I'd like to tell you:

7th of November is the day when one of my best friends, Diana was born. And she turns 18! This is HUGE, you only have this important moment once in your life and Diana is lucky enough to celebrate it abroad, in a special place, far far away from here. I love you D., HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Me & D. , back in April <3

Modern Minnie

♪ Coldplay - Hurts like Heaven ♪

I won't be haunting anyone this Halloween. How so? As much as I love taking a break from my ladylike chic style every once in a year (Oh God, who am I kidding- my last costume was a hippie- with wide leg pants-so chic!) to explore other sides of me I couldn't turn down Ms. Minnie. 

You must know Minnie! She is so utterly fabulous with that pretty bow and blue dress! Okay, maybe I don't have her pink shoes and my dress is mint, but look what I found when I woke up on Saturday:

She made this on purpose for sure! And I loved going back to my childhood, when I had McDonalds figures- Daisy & her and when I used to play , play and play some more...Oh, I miss those times but let's not get nostalgic! There are some great parts in being a teen just like this one: I get to be a modern version of one of my icons as a child!

And the light was just fabulous in that very morning! Seriously, you barely get such a perfect light on a summer day, it was a sign! Also, I was so worried that nobody would want to take these photos (my whole family laughed so much- they don't get this Halloween concept at all as it's relatively new in Romania) . Yet, I had another surprise: my little sister, who NEVER EVER wants to take pictures volunteered (Okay, fineeee, I may have promised to lend her that fancy headband).

To conclude, it's really fun to dress as a person /character you admire for one day ! Just don't forget who you are and don't try to change it just so that you would fit in! You are special and amazing, and you are going to have the most AWESOME day because Madame Minnie and I say so!

Happy Halloween!

PS: Oh my, I totally forgot to tell you I'm in Style.it and in 'Creme Magazine', from New Zealand. I know, like a real & printed magazine! Thank you so much my dear readers, this wouldn't have been possible without you!

PPS: I was wearing MARC JACOBS Ipad case (I'm sure Minnie would love one of her own), H&M mint dress, Massimo Dutti shoes
