Hello people,

I really need some time off I think but I cannot afford that luxury. That's why the I phone saga continues.

My Snobbish Advice for you this weekend is just smile! Smile at everything around you! Oh and also do something outrageous!!! Yes, yes, this is a good Snobbish advice!

I thought at Marilyn today, how everybody saw in her what they wanted to see not her real desires and who she really was.
My out of the ordinary, little moment was re-enacting her famous pose in a small park filled with, well...not so open minded persons.




There you go, please observe those people's faces.

Life was never about other people wanted, life is about what you really want! So start with the daily basis activities and then pass to the really important ones in your life. Happiness is a learning process and the first step is to stop thinking at what other people might say or think!

Ok, goodbye, no more "wise" advices for today!


Don't forget about all the Lush goodies and about Moja's skirt you can win!

I really should tell you about this weekend but I'm not gonna do that. I always loved a good mystery!

I love fairy tales, the twisted ones it's true but you know what?
 It doesn't matter in what kind of fairy tales do you believe in, it's just important to never stop believing in them!

On the other hand, since I instagrmized these pics, remind me to tell you my adventure with Instagram! Until then, we can stay in touch there @highstreetcardigans (another social network that's getting into my brain! "Great!")


 The Countess loves you!




Here's another gift you will love:   Moja is giving you guys, yes you, the ones who read this daily stupidity of mine, this cool skirt from their Essentials Collection.



All you have to do is:

- LIKE them on Facebook

- Follow High Street Cardigans with Google Friend Connect

- Tell me in a comment with what product on their site would you pair this fluo skirt, along with your email address.


Next Wednesday we'll have a winner!
Fingers crossed!


Also, you still have time until next Monday to win the LUSH goodies!

Well, all of you who are here now, are witnessing a historical moment! I finally had 30 minutes during the day when I had nothing to do.

The moment proved to be truly liberating boring. And we all know what happens when I get bored.
Today I'm a modern Iphone Casati  (I will love her forever, she is my eternal muse)

On the other hand, during this period, last year, I got engaged! So, Toma, here's to you and your intention to make me your wife! It would have been a big, big headache, believe me! Although, I always dreamet of being a divorcee.

I will always carry you in my heart. Be sure of that! I hope you are, I've just said it publicly. And I still wear your ring, from time to time...it makes me smile...


Last night, after the In Style Magazine party, we visited L'Eight, our friend Stephy's new project. I loved the terrace. This summer, we will most definitely meet there.





As for you, the people with the perfect lives, don't forget that your life can be Lushy (?!?!) if you win the LUSH goodies. Find out how!

Here are some instant snapshots from Andra's The Secrets of the Garden event. The cool decorations, the candles, the cheese plates, the amazing white flowers and all the beautiful people. I loved it!

Andra is a cool and practical designer, you will soon hear more about her work.


And here's another secret you will be glad to find out: Romania, or better yet, this part of Europe, will have a curator! Of what? You'll find out sooner than you think!






 And now people, what's behind door number 3?!?! Another secret, of course.

Tadaaaa

Three of you can win these goodie bags from LUSH right now!

All you have to do it LIKE them on Facebook and follow High Street Cardigans with Google Friend Connect. Oh, and don't forget to leave your contacts in a comment at this post.

Worth mentioning:  Each LUSH goodie bag contains a solid massage oil, a mud face mask and a solid rose perfume (which smells divine, btw!)

On Wednesday we will know who won.
Fingers crossed!
 






See you tomorrow!

Drink three cocktails in the middle of the day!  Ok, don't do that, I'm joking.


 My snobbish advice this week is Get out!  Get out from your office and from all kind of bistro's or terraces where you spend your midday break.

 Go in a park near you or at the Botanical garden like I was yesterday and just breathe. You might tell me that the real snobbish act is to eat at the cool bistros in your town. Well, no! Try this for once. I know, it's a cliche, but have you experienced it at least once?

 And yes, this is by default.





When you get back at the office and all your colleagues will come back form the cafeteria, you'll at least smile and feel special.

Yes, feeling special and creating small, sunny moments that make us feel this way is not a sin and does not mean that you are a fake, but that's a topic we'll discuss next week.

TINA R needs no introduction!
 Therefore, the only explanation needed here is what exactly is my collaboration with this Romanian brand.

You all know Paula, don't you? Well, for the few of you who don't, Paula Negrea is the marketing and communication manager over at TINA R.
She wrote me a while ago telling me that she would love to see me style one of their items.

 Picked this ruffled blouse in a nude color. I choose this particular blouse because  it's a basic item and also because it has the potential to last over seasonal trends (yes, these are my forte, go to  principles when I shop for my clients). Oh and the fabric is so soft and flirty, just like a midnight summer dream.

Ad a generous hat to your outfit (and if you are a miniature person like myself you will look like a hamster on crack) and you will feel quite decadent wearing it.

So, yey or nay?

Click, click, click to shop at TINA R and LIKE them on Facebook



I remembered what Clare Boothe Luce once said:

 "I don't have a warm personal enemy left. They've all died off. I miss them terribly because they helped define me."

It made me smile.



 On the other hand, it's time to see who won the magnificent chair by Our Design!

Send me an email with your contacts so that Laura can send you the shabby chic chair. Yey!
