Toothpaste (Minty) Kisses

♪ Toothpaste Kisses - The Maccabees ♪


When Monday turns into Thursday - I'm not a superwoman, I wish I were but you have to accept me as I am, with my chaotical life and my constant worrying about school. I'm having a really rough time, I have a final exam tomorrow and also a ball, talking about a hectic life!

When I look at these photos, however, I feel calm because I remember what a great time I had in the park when I shot these photos and how comfortable I felt about the fact that nobody was starring at me (as they usually do on my street).

What can I say about my outfit? Wow, I never realised how much I am into mint! This minted tank top (and also with floral print- double trend- bang!) is one of my dearest fashion finds, so simple comfortable, chic and also cheap (I got it from Zara for 4 euros 2 years ago).

Zara girl all the way!! Love and minty kisses, Mary

♪ Caro Emerald- That man ♪

Why, hello there! Sorry my beloved, school has taken me over and I'm now both physically and mentally exhausted. I had no time to post, neither the mood to stay online (you may have noticed that I didn't update the facebook page nor the Instragram profile- @marymanaila). I'm positive though, I'll get through this, especially after having such an amazing day- okay, the second half of it!

Time has come to present my favorite pants in the world! I know, I've been blogging for a year now and haven't got round to post pictures in them, such a paradox. They are called carrot pants because of the shape, they are super comfortable and I bought them from -wait for it, it's so super hard to guess- ZARA! I went for nude tones and pastels so I can emphasize my new statement necklace, which I find fabulous!

How would you like another outfit post on Monday, just to make it up for my absence? I wish you all have a fabulous week! Enjoy life, even at its hardest and this pretty little song!

Franny&Zooey

I have always loved J.D Salinger's work so when I found this book last week I felt extremely happy. Even though he didn't write many things during his entire life, all his books are incredible and must be read in a lifetime. 'Franny&Zooey' is no expection. Once you look deeper you will realise that not the religious theme is the most moving, but the technique used to describe the feeling of being lost and how important a brother can be in your life.

Also, how sweet is this floral jacket I got from Zara two years ago? It has the most sublime texture and colors, I thought matching it with my oh-so-loved mint pants would be great!

Have a great week everybody, mine started horrible already ( this post was somehow deleted and I had to re-write it) plus I have many exams!

Neon & Lavender

Hello dear readers, wow, such a long absence! I know, but I've had the two most hectic weeks, with tons of sleepless nights and courses to study. However, there have been some good changes. Beware, there will be  a lot of writing in this post because I have missed you and my little blog a lot!

Someday between a test and two essays to write, I was instantly cheered up when the lovely team from 33knots sent me these two  simply perfect , handmade and authentic bracelets.

You may wonder what is it so special about this brand and the design of the bracelets. Well, I shall try to tell you some little secrets:

The brand, originally from Belize, has only handmade products. Not any kind of products, but prayer bracelets for Orthodox Christians. The prayer bracelet is similar to what a rosary means for Catholics and although it main purpose may seem obvious, there is another reason why people choose to wear it: it is a discreet sign which shows your belief, your respect for a certain religion(As I'm from Romania this is actually my religion) .

It may seem a paradox, but these bracelets are also widely popular among people who are not Orthodox because they emphasize the faith in change, good, in God. They are very resistant, so once you purchase one you are most likely to have it with you for a long time, protecting your identity. Everytime you wear one, you should  remember your values and what you stand for.

As for the brand itself, the quality is exquisite. I was charmed by the first glance, with the web design and all the information so clear. They also ship internationally and the colours and sizing are very accurate. I wear them on a daily basis ever since I got the package and you should have a look at all the Saints bracelets and classic best sellers at the official site.
