Urban Ballerina

It was a sunny day when I first saw it. I had just finished my shopping session and I was penniless when I looked behind into the Zara shopping windows and there it was! Perfect, white, with a white python print, heart-shaped and with the perfect length. I was so dissapointed because it would have matched my new nude platforms so divine!

Two weeks later, I had the greatest chance: the anual ball organised by our highschool had a "Black&White" dress code. I managed to convince my mother of the urgent need of it (although I have plenty of black dresses but eh..I had no such thing as an white one!) and with the support of my aunt, she finally gave in.  After I bought it, I took these photos because I was ecstatic and then I went out with my family to have a lovely lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. You can see that the 'light issue' hadn't crossed my mind! What can I say, I'm so clumsy, it was all too good to be true, but I am sure you can notice the details I was talking about. The white python print is definetely my ultimate love or wait, is it the fabric- or the heart-shape?

I like to match white with pastel and nude tones. Of course, I have also included a photo from the ball (after the break), where I chose to match it a nude Musette belt and some simple but effective pearls. Also after the break, you will find a lovely sketch of a ballerina (by S.) which was inspired by this outfit post.

The thought's makin' me hazy

♪ 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!

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!

Kisses and ♥, Mary
