The victory tastes bitter

Fiecare din noi ducem în viața de zi cu zi fel și fel de lupte. Pe unele le câștigăm, pe unele le pierdem și asociem adesea ideea de victorie cu ceva dulce, iar ideea de înfrângere cu ceva amar.
Vi s-a întâmplat însă, vreodată, ca gustul victoriei să fie amar? Să câștigați ceva, dar de fapt să vă simțiți un pierzător?
Cam asta-i senzația cu care mă confrunt eu zilele acestea... și mi-ar plăcea nespus să știu dacă și voi ați fost într-o astfel de situație și cum v-ați simțit?

“Anyone can deal with victory. Only the mighty can bear defeat.” ― Adolf Hitler

How do you handle the taking outfit shots routine?

Although it's been more than a year since I started this blog I can't say I've become handy at being a model or at taking outfit shots.
Sometimes I take at least 30-40 photos from which I choose 6-7 seven to post...
Sometimes I don't like the place where I'm taking the photos... because it's either to crowded and people stare at me while modelling, either doesn't emphasize my outfit at all...
Sometimes I don't have a photographer...
Sometimes the weather is bad...
Sometimes I simply can't find the time...
Sometimes I don't feel like taking shots...

Today was a day when none of the above happened. I had my eyes for a while on this place with an amazing view over the Danube and I went out and tried it for this shooting. Hope you like the result.

I'm in the army now

These photos were taken yesterday, while walking with my husband, along the Danube river.
Now, while I'm writing, he is on his way to Indonesia. Yes, you read it correctly, I N D O N E S I A. He is going to be there for a while and it hurts my soul to know him so far away.

On the other hand I'm happy for him because he has this great opportunity to see such an exotic country. For those of you who don't know the direct distance between Romania and Indonesia is 10000km and he has to change 3 airplanes to get there.

But enough about sad personal stuff, let's talk about the outfit. I'm a very big fan of military style, as you you've already seen here, and it came so natural to combine again some pieces of clothing into a military look. This is actually a trend I think we will see a lot during this year and that's why I allowed myself to give you some suggestions.

Black week

Reserved is one of the brands of clothes and accessories that I like the most. I identify very much with the style that they promote.

I appreciate the attention to details and the impeccability of the finished product. On the other hand, the prices they practice reflect these things and are usually pretty steep.

However, this weekend I noticed that they have two incredible offers.

One is 40% discount to handbags, belts and jewelry and is valid from 16.11.2012 - 20.11.2012 (discount applies to the house, to the label price) and the other involves purchasing a one euro voucher to receive 40% discount on the shopping cart, offer valid from 16.11.2012-26.11 .2012.... I told you they were incredible....

I'm certainly going to take advantage of them and I recommend you to do this also.
