Some facts...

1. For those of you who read my previous post... hubby came home from Indonesia and we had fireworks from many points of view. :)
2. In a few days he will be leaving to Holland so I'm a bit sad from this point of view, but the good part is that he will be gone for just 12 days. :(
3. Exactly 3 weeks from now we are taking a trip to the mountains. :)
4. Surprisely (or not) almost every piece from today's outfit was bought from miniPrix at 30% off; in addition, the shirt and the trousers were bought from the men section... hope you don't think I've gone insane or that I have a fetish involving man clothes :)
5. For those of you who aren't fans of miniPrix (if there are any) I recreated the outfit using Reserved items. :(
6. How are you? I've missed you! :)


Shirt :: FOJAM via miniPrix (very qualitative) | Trousers :: via miniPrix (very qualitative) 
Bag :: Fullah Sugah via miniPrix (excellent quality) | Shoes :: Andrea Tokio via miniPrix (leather)
Trench coat:: CINQUE bought from a SH store | Bracelets :: Hand made from Indonesia | Belt :: Carrefour | Sunglasses :: New Yorker

Oh, life...

I suppose  most of you know, by now, what life is about. One day everything is sunny, and only positive things happen, everything goes in the right direction, and suddenly, the clouds appear in the sky and the storm hits.
No matter how much we think about the possibility of something like that happening to us we move on saying it's not possible. And yet, when that something happens, we can't believe it and we ask ourselves why me?
That's the story of my past few days. Unfortunately, for now, I can not give more details, but I can tell you not to worry, nobody is about to die.

I said in a past post that a creative wave hit me again ... actually not only me, but also sister Mirela. Notice below the results of this creativity. Thanks again for
DIY (do it yourself) honestlywtf.com tutorials, without them my life would have been infinitely more difficult.

D.I.Y - Bracelets

Inspired by the DIY (Do it yourself) section from honestlywtf blog, I decided to take on initiative and manufacture a set of 10-15 bracelets to wear constantly on my hand.  I'm a fashion blogger wannabe {and not just that}, so this is justified.

So, I purchased the necessary accessories from specialized websites (e.g.
ornamentea) and I got to work.
The beginning was
quite difficult, but now I'm able to show you my first three works of art.

What are the advantages of such
initiative?
First, financial. The costs for such a bracelet is around 1 euro ~ 1.22 U.S. dollars. The
manual labor is mine. I'm somewhat masochistic to do this, because my spare time is almost zero. However, I started this and I'm going to finish it.
I think that this could be an activity for girls who are currently on vacation or currently don't have a job. It requires a minimum investment and is a good opportunity to win some money, by selling them. Do not be afraid, there are many tutorials.
What are the disadvantages?
At first, the time. Until you realize what accessories you need and how to manufacture the bracelets, it takes a while. The invested time decreases proportional with the increase of experience, but is a time that if you don't have, you will remain without bracelets... so, finally, you get to buy more expensive,
already made bracelets.

 I hope you find my ideas useful. Once I get more experienced I'll show you other ones.
