Find your layer

The last couple of weeks I've spent mostly with work and writing some articles, but not blogging....no , not a single word. I guess I've tried to clear my mind, getting away a little bit from fashion...and still, I couldn't stop thrifting a few things...just for fun. Like for example, an 80s style jumper, you know, the one with huge sleeves, something like this (the first one):

It looks fabulous paired with skinny jeans and it's really simple to accessorize, I like to wear it with a huge floral belt. The other day I was looking at photos taken a few years ago and realized how much my taste has changed all these years. I guess I like simpler things now, outfits that are not over-accessorized, but meaningful and tasteful in an effortless manner.I hate when someone takes fashion word by word, putting together an outfit from the most fashionable (?) items. They might act good put together, but this is when personality is lost within the layers. Where are YOU in this ensemble?

And this was when I came across upon the Bleubird Vintage blog written by a young mother of three digging for the seventies style. Her blog is not only about fashion, but the everyday life of her family. Here are just a couple of great photos of what the family members are wearing on a typical sunny afternoon:

The Capital Way

Boohoo! I'm here, only that I was missing for a while from the blogging experience. It's so hard to keep up all with all the favorite blogs and stories and pictures. But as I was looking through the regular ones, I've found James D. Kelly's photographic diary of Annie Monroe. I could upload my favorite photos of this diary to make this entry more interesting, but I won't do that, instead I simply give you the link.

No words for that...

Been to a concert, heard magical sounds :)
Something like this:

Call of nature

Valea Drăganului

Barajul Drăgan

I suddenly realized that as I grow older and older, I feel an untameable urge to get as close to nature as possible- to smell the sweet scent of trees, flowers, mountains, to wander around lurky places. These photos were taken in Valea Drăganului (Nagysebes), very close to the Vlădeasa Mountains, a group of mountains that makes part of the Romanian Western-Carpathians about a month ago.
This place made me think of the absolute freedom portrayed in Sean Penn's beautiful and very moving film entitled Into the Wild. -> Oooooo, I am falling safely to the ground:) It makes me think I'd be a supertramp as well. Wanna join? :)
