Follow the journey to building my clothing label - fabric shopping, pattern cutting, fittings, collections, photo shoots, runway shows - let's have fun with fashion and see what goes on behind the scenes: from an idea to a dress there is a long, but extremely rewarding way to go.
“Signs” from Bosch’s “Triptych”. I found these paintings I did in my first year at Art University in Timisoara, Romania, on my sister’s computer, and I was excited because I had lost all my stored files (photos, pictures, paintings…everything!). I remember that we had to choose one painting where there was a lot of movement, .... read more
Three days of painting landscapes (literally, day to night) and I finally finished my summer work for school. The result: 40 landscapes painted in different ways/styles, according to a specific era in art history. From Quatrocento to Abstract Art, I covered the most important movements in the history of art. [See the first ones here]. .... read more
Finally, I started painting the landscapes I have to paint for school. I can’t wait to finish with all 41 of them, so I can get back to the sewing machine, because all my new fabrics are waiting for me. Seriously. Anyway, so this is how I started -? the sketches: Oh well, I am .... read more
My mom’s friends, who are visiting from Germany right now and staying at our place, own a house here in Restia too, but it’s very old, inside and out. They are planning to rebuild it, however the hardest part is getting rid of everything that’s inside. I joined them today, looking for fabric and old .... read more
When I am in a different, bigger city I always feel like a stranger seeing all these unfamiliar images of buildings and people. That’s when I appreciate the way I feel when I go back home. I’m visiting my boyf. right now (he lives in the city where I study), it’s been a day and .... read more

Say goodbye to last fall’s “grunge look” and welcome this fall’s classic, ladylike shapes. It all in the basic pieces that will never go out of style: the little black dress, the dramatic hat, the pencil skirt, the classic ruffled shirt, the tweed jacket, the pleated skirt worn as a dress (why not?), the thin .... read more
?Today me and my bffs wanted to go lay in the sun a bit, relax and tan. I thought we would go somewhere near by, but Roro and Roxy told me only in the car that we were going to Garana (about 45min away), where there’s the annual jazz festival going on. There is this .... read more
Lately the weather has changed a lot. It’s like the fall came earlier, with lots of constant raining and lower temperatures. I guess the raining that happened at all the recent couture shows, finally arrived in Romania too. But if such little detail like “the puring rain” didn’t stop the Chanel show (held outside) from .... read more
While the fall fashions arrive slowly but surely, why not enjoy the highlight of the summer season with easy, comfortable dressing. Summer is almost over, however I don’t want to let go. Not just yet! Until I am ready to take out all my coats and boots from the closet, I crave for another deep .... read more
