Don't put your shoes on and prepare to dance on my grave people, I'm not suicidal, yet.
I know that you are wondering what's with the bandage on my wrist, don't you?
Ha! See? I told you I'm smart! Ok, maybe not that smart, only a good jobber.
Although it may appear this way, the answer is no, I did not fell on ice. The event happened at home, while I was getting down from my bed, in a certain indecent situation, while I...okkkkkk, my ten years old nephew is reading this blog, let's stop with the details!
And now, for the decadent and not so serious part of the play, me as a neurotic and despotic character.
Snobbish Breakfast dress, Nissa necklace
By the way, if you look beside me you can see my latest home decoration acquisition - Valeria Moldovan for 109 pillows.
You know that I don't post pictures with the clothes I buy because I consider posts like "New In" or "I bought this or that" bragging but now we're talking about home deco objects and Valeria is a chic and creative character whom I admire immensely.
For those of you who haven't heard of her, Valeria Moldovan is a famous Romanian illustrator. Since I was a kid I was mesmerized by her sketches, so now, when I lay beside these pillows, I feel like I'm a character in one of her wise portrayed stories.
Ioana, please receive my infinite gratitude for gifting me that necklace. It's my absolute and instant love and I will treasure it till the end of days. For this, I will also be your personal maid, till the end of days.

My Goooooddd!!!
I spent my day in rubber boots, looking like a cracked midget!
But let's move on with our daily dose of senseless
People, this is one of those days when I need to brag! Stay calm, take a xanax and bare with me.

And now, with you guys knowing this highly important things, my ego is pampered for the day, and you all can go back to your life feeling better about yourself. Why you should feel better about yourself? Because vanity is a fucked-up curse. (I'm mentally ill if I like it? Yes, Ana, you are! You idiot!)
If you've got the impression you have seen this outfit before, you're probably right.
Also, don't forget about the Moja.ro dress you can win.
Goodbye now.

Keep calm people! This is not a cheesy post about friendship.
And although I may sound cynical, I'm really not.
I think if someone would ask Adina to describe me she would probably use the phrase from the post title. My life experience has taught me that people come into your life, stay a while and maybe at one point they leave. And it's nothing wrong with that. It's called evolution. And maybe you do not evolve in the same direction as some of your friends. Growing apart is as normal as growing together.
The minute you'll stop expecting and live in the moment you'll be free.
"The best friend" - what's that? Did you ever think about how much this label limits you? I think it's very important to have many people around you, as diverse as they can be, cause your ability to learn and absorb information multiplies immensely.
Adina and me, we're not "best friends", we were partners long before we became friends, we're not constantly together and we don't go out with the same crowds. We respect each others freedom and individuality. That's why when we meet, it's always a little party, yes, we laugh, yes, we bitch about everyone else (like we all do), yes, we act snobbishly without reason (no, my father is not a Lord) and at the end of the day, we return to our lives, smiling and tasting what a real and honest friendship should be.
It took me a lot of time but I'm very proud of myself for being able to think this way, I don't own the philosopher's stone, chill.
To all of you who were my friends and are not anymore...Thank you! For entering my life and also for leaving it.

Yep, there's a new breed of kids around.
They are different indeed and I've noticed that everybody who meets one of their kind gets instantly mesmerized.
What makes them different?
- they use Facebook not for showing of what they eat or how they dress but to share books they've read, movies they saw or modern art exhibits they visited. They also don't check in from five to five minutes (I had to point this out, burn me)
- they are very passionate and informed on subjects such as modern art, fashion, travels and literature.
- they are always ahead of trends and when those trends became mainstream they don't give up on them just because they became so.
- they love the underground scene but don't trash the commercial one.
- they have a certain self-confidence, a cool, laid-back attitude.
- they don't label people easily.
But the most important characteristic of these new kind of young adults is by far, their common sense and the respect they have for the people around them.
It takes a lot of maturity and wisdom to acknowledge that you're not the center of the universe.
God knows I don't posses that much...

I put up 10 basic looks for Fashion and Beauty's "10 Inspirational Looks" column.
Yes people, for you to see the outfits, it's exactly the reason why I'm not wearing a coat. Yes, I know it's winter, yes, I have frozen to death. So, no "but didn't you got iced there?" comments needed (vague smile).
You can see a few of them here.
Well, since it was my birthday, yesterday and the day before (half of my family says I was born on 18 and at the hospital, they accidentally put 19 on my birth certificate, the other half says that this half is crazy, you don't wanna know!).
I'm turning 27 (still no bit of wisdom, God help as all) and I said to myself "Let's make someone else a gift this time". After all, you guys are the one who have to put up with my endless, daily stupidity. The reason why your number, the ones who read this online serial-story column, is getting bigger and bigger as days go by will remain a mystery to me.
Anyways, Moja.ro sent a marvelous Irina Constantin dress for you.
Here it is...tadaaa
Do you want it or not?
And because with me nothing goes smoothly and also because I don't want you to slap me on the face when you see me on the street, accusing me of favoritism, we have to make it a giveaway.
Here's what you have to do:
- LIKE Moja Concept Store on Facebook
- Follow High Street Cardigans with Google Friend Connect
- Browse Moja.ro, find a fav item, then post it on Moja's Facebook Page or on your blog
- Make sure to leave a comment on this post so that we can have your contacts(specify an email address, kittens)
You have two weeks and the winner will be sort of randomly. Fingers crossed!
Why do people celebrate the fact that we grow older is a mystery to me! (mystery being the word of the day, got it?)
The fact that I have to buy anti-aging potions from now on makes me feel...to use a proper way of speaking...not happy! Not happy at all, people!
So that you know, I'm perfectly aware of the fact that my post titles have nothing to do with the topics. I'm dysfunctional.

There's a silent war around here and personally, it kinda bores me.
Perfecte.ro relates.
Bluntly and without gloves, from both sides, here it goes:

Perfecte.ro relates.
Bluntly and without gloves, from both sides, here it goes:
1. Motivul pentru care eu nu public pe blog-ul meu articole de critica/news despre moda este pt ca nu consider ca detin informatiile necesare pentru a emite o parere pertinenta. As vrea sa-mi spuneti care sunt dupa parerea voastra atributele pe care trebuie sa le posede un blogger cand scrie despre fashion la modul informativ.
A scrie despre fashion la modul informativ presupune, în primul rând, o documentare foarte amplă pe subiectele pe care le abordezi şi, în al doilea, capacitatea de a sistematiza informaţia astfel încât acesta să fie accesibilă cititorilor. Asta implică un grad mare de curiozitate, pasiune pentru domeniu, dar şi obiectivitate. Este important să fii organizat, selectiv (în funcţie de target-ul blogului) şi să verifici informaţia din mai multe surse pentru a o reda cu acurateţe.
2. Ati reusit intr-un timp foarte scurt sa va impuneti ca fiind o voce care comunica faptele “as they are” fara a va lasa influentati de favoritisme, motiv pentru care ati starnit si starniti atat reactii positive dar si negative. Aceste reactii va motiveaza sau va scad din doza de entuziasm avuta in faza incipienta?
Feedback-ul este foarte important, mai ales în online. Cel negativ, exprimat prin comentarii mai mult sau mai puţin răutăcioase, prin aluzii pe reţelele de socializare sau prin reacţii neprietenoase în viaţa reală, ne-a învăţat să nu luăm personal orice remarcă şi ne-a ambiţionat să ne continuăm treaba cu şi mai multă scrupulozitate. Desigur, cel pozitiv vine întotdeauna ca o recompensă pentru lucrul bine făcut.
3. Exista o vadita competitie intre aceste doua categorii de blog-uri si mai ales exista o rivalitate exprimata destul de agresiv si pe alocuri penibil. Aceste reactii provin in mare parte dinspre tabara jurnalistilor de moda, detinatori de blog-uri. De ce credeti ca se intampla asta?
Nu credem că există o competiţie reală între blogurile de stil personal şi cele informative, tocmai pentru că modalitatea de exprimare este diferită. Avantajul blogurilor de stil personal este că personajele sunt mult mai vizibile şi îşi câştigă mult mai facil notorietatea, pentru că pot să se adreseze foarte uşor unui public internaţional. Problema vine, cel mai probabil, dintr-o neînţelegere clară a statutului pe care fiecare vrea să-l obţină: jurnaliştii ajung lideri de opinie, în timp ce blogerii de stil personal devin surse de inspiraţie vestimentară.
4. Ce beneficii (in afara de statisfactia personala) va poate aduce faptul ca incet, incet, deveniti o voce demna de luat in seama pe scena jurnalistilor de lifestyle and fashion din Romania?
În cazul nostru, beneficiile materiale nu sunt deocamdată, notabile. Cel mai important este că am reuşit să stabilim nişte relaţii fireşti cu persoane din domeniu, că putem avea acces la evenimentele de modă care ne interesează şi că munca noastră a fost apreciată în diferite publicaţii.
5. „ Ipostaza in care un fashion journalism blogger pretinde beneficii materiale in schimbul publicarii pe blog a unor informatii este mai verticala decat vanzarea de spatiu publicitar pe blog-urile de personal style. „
Este o afirmatie emisa de unul dintre jurnalistii de moda din Romania, care activeaza in mediul online. Care este parerea voastra raportat la aceasta afirmatie?
Până la urmă, ambele categorii de bloggeri încearcă să îşi „vândă” publicul. Important este să încerci să găseşti modalitatea cea mai avantajoasă astfel încât informaţia să nu fie trunchiată şi publicul să resimtă cât mai puţin influenţa advertiserilor. Este penibil când scrii despre brand-uri internaţionale premium şi vinzi spaţiu publicitar unor brand-uri de calitate îndoielnică. Cu alte cuvinte, credem că informaţia şi publicitatea se pot îmbina armonios dacă ştii cum să păstrezi standardele.

1.Cum crezi că e mai comod să îţi câştigi notorietatea : să postezi fotografii cu tine în diverse ţinute sau să scrii texte consistente despre subiecte legate de modă ?
Prima este legata in mare parte de simtul tau estetic si de informatie. Pentru a doua ipostaza este nevoie de studiu, documentare si multe ore petrecute in fata calculatorului. Q.E.D.
2. Imaginea pe care ti-ai construit-o pe blog este aceeasi cu cea pe care o ai in viata reala?
Incepeand cu hainele pe care le vedeti pe blog si pana la franturile de cotidian expuse, High Street Cardigans este prelungirea publica a existentei mele necosmetizate. Pentru o mai buna acuratete a raspunsului ati putea sa faceti un sondaj de opinie printre oamenii aflati in imediata mea apropiere.
3. Eşti foarte prolifică în activitatea de pe blog. Asta presupune că îţi ‘alimentezi’ constant garderoba cu piese pe care le porţi, poate, o singură dată. În ce măsură crezi că te transformă acest fapt într-o victimă a modei ?
Daca una dintre conotatiile acestei etichete se refera la dorinta permanenta a unui individ de a se inconjura de lucruri frumoase, imi asum acest stigmat. Daca vorbim despre depersonalizare si achizitia pieselor vestimentare impulsiv si in neconcordanta cu personalitatea ta, nu cred ca este aplicabila in cazul meu. Desi este normal ca evolutia noastra la nivel de individ sa se reflecte si pe plan vestimentar, cu o singura accesare a blog-ului meu o sa constatati ca existe anumite atribute care sunt o constanta in evolutia mea stilistica.
4. Ai ajuns să resimţi faptul că activitatea ta devine mai mult o obligaţie faţă de advertiseri decât un hobby ?
In nici un moment. Imi place mult ceea ce fac cu High Street Cardigans. Desi la prima vedere poate fi catalogata drept frivola, aceasta activitate a reusit sa ma disciplineze si sa-mi impuna o anumita rigurozitate zilnica care s-a dovedit a fi benefica si constructiva pentru mine.
5. De ce consideri ca blogurile de personal style sunt importante pentru industria modei?
Cred ca impreuna cu blogurile de street style au reusit sa prezinte aceasta industie unui public vast intr-un mod comprehensibil.
