Hello to all of you people who don't have simple lives,

We've finally managed to finish filming Fly Project's new video yesterday. I haven't slept more than five hours per night since Sunday.

Well, it was all worth it, the boys are extremely well mannered and funny, we were a great team and we laughed a lot. Even after 18 hours of constant filming and staying in the sun.

Ok, let's move on from my professional adventures to what was expecting me when I got home.

Ok, ok, I got it that you got it - that flower crown you see me wearing. Serban made me a surprise. I cried (yes, even evil queens cry).

I've worn it on and off yesterday. From the time I woke up - immortalized here - till evening, when I bought groceries from the supermarket with it and the sales lady told her colleague that I must be taken to a mental hospital (I probably should).

Today we have to speak about a "snobbish advice" - btw, I'm so happy you loved my "Movie Fashion Fixette" column. I'm gonna take into consideration your movie suggestions. I think I forgot to mention - Movie Fashion Fixette will be published twice a month not weekly like "The Snobbish Advice"

Wait, let's focus, so I was saying, my "Snobbish Advice" for today was inspired by what Serban did.

What if we show the people near us or better yet, to our life partner, who much we love him every now and then.

I know that everybody is running out of time lately and I know that we will always spend our money on that Sergio Rossi black stilettos but what if we take into consideration those small details that can brighten your partner's day?


For example, guys, you can buy your girlfriend a Kinder Bueno. aa?
So that she can send the code she finds on the back of the package by SMS  at 1718 and she can enter in the Kinder Bueno's 100 bags campaign.

She will wear a designer bag every week and when the 12 weeks will be over she will get to keep the last bag she receives.

This week I wore this out of this world  Prada.






There's no pr shit in my voice when I tell you that I had a great time and felt special  carrying it this week.

Can't wait to see the bag I will get next week.

See how things work and who is already in the contest here

I'm gonna start thinking about what small "snobbish" surprise I'm gonna make for Serban. Maybe you can try thinking at doing this for your loved one too?!


It's September people, the perfect time to visit the sea - there's only a few people there, everything is deserted and peaceful, fallen leaves are taken to the beach by the wind. Dress-up comfy and feminine and make a picnic.

I think I'm gonna do that. What about you? What are you going to do that will make you feel like a novel character this weekend?

You know? Our lives are really amazing, we just don't have to forget to live and appreciate to the fullest the small moments. 

I think that is the greatest lesson I've learned from the "flower crown" surprise.

Some small details for you to justify my absence:

- filming Fly Project's new video

- not sleeping because of that for 48 hours in a row

- sleeping because of that only 4 hours in three days

- running wild to find tons of clothes

- staying on my feet a whole day and night

- horses, sun, lots of people on the set,dresses, wind, planes, cars, flowers and so on

I loved it, tiring as hell but we are all a great team, it finally paid off, or I hope it will cause we didn't finish. Today is another day. So please understand my hurry.

We'll talk more tomorrow.

On Sunday I was invited to host a fashionable event at Carol Parc Hotel - Fashion in the garden

I was really overwhelmed when I was asked to do this and accepted.
And it was a wise decision cause I met lots of new, interesting people, received tons of smiles, had fun picking and styling clothes. Spending time with people that make me smile and with whom I don't meet as often as I would like was another high.

Ohh, and you know what I really loved? That bag that I got to wear last week - YSL Muse - one of my greatest loves ever when it comes to bags.

 
You can get to wear it too. I told you about it  here and with other occasions too in these past weeks.

I'm sooo excited about this Kinder Bueno - 100 bags campaign . I get to wear a different bag every week, can't wait to show my adventures with them - soon.
You can wear Dior, Ysl, Prada, Vuitton and many other high end bags that will make you walk on the street smiling without a reason. Well, actually, Kinder Bueno is the reason cause they made it possible for all of us to feel like a fashionable rockstar.

And since I'm a nice viperesse today, I'm gonna let you in on the "how to" action to get your hands on some cool and glamorous bags too.



Give into temptation and enter into Kinder Bueno's chain reaction.

Send an SMS at 1718 with the code you find on the back of the Kinder Bueno package

If you are among the 100 lucky winners you will get to wear, one in a row, twelve times, one high ended bag. And guess what? You get to keep the last bag. No matter that it's YSL, Prada or Gucci, you will get to keep it. 

Got it know? This will make your fall even more decadent.





And now, I leave you with  my fav Instagram details from my Sunday and of the event I hosted.

1. Robert Both - hairstylist for all of Bucharest's queens, 2. Glamour lightning, 3. The hotel was filled with beautiful flower arrangements, 4. My favorite item from the fair - George Enache "Kill you idols , live your own life" T-shirt, 5. Me, being overwhelmed of how they described me, 6. Gifts from Beautik Haute Parfumerie





See you tomorrow kittens.

I trade my jewelry for sleeping. Would someone care to take my place?!?!

I kid, I kid, I'm not trading my jewelry for nothing in the world. Goood, I'm not a traitor people. I never betray my absolute loves.


Ohh, and we didn't discussed about my "the disgraced countess on the hell cruise" outfit. Well, I have to run now, tomorrrowww.   "Ask me again tomorrow..." - do you remember from which movie is this line?!
I loved it.

Two weeks ago I was at a private viewing of  Tudor Giurgiu's new movie - About men and snails

I really loved the movie. You know I'm pr shitting you if I don't believe in that project. I loved it honestly.

?

Because although it's about a period in Romania when things didn't look so bright, this film, unlike many others made about those years, About men and snails has an optimistic vibe, lots of smart humor. I adored how well they recreated the decors and costumes from those years.





After the viewing I got a snail as a gift. A live one. To take care of it for a few days and after that to release it in back in the nature.

Here's what he did in the days he lived with me:

First, he did not got out from his shell - honestly,  I think he heard be saying "I'm a witch" and shit several times and he got scared.

Anyways, I fed him and he ate! Jewelry and other stuff. I'm a shallow, fashionable person, what you'd expect?



 The second day he wanted to wear my perfumes. I made him pretty and we ate lunch at Osho.


After that he said he got bored of my "dark queen" shit and he wanted to live a normal and balanced life and he wants to go.

I sent him in the forest with the chauffeur.

A few days ago I got a letter:   

"Dear Morodan,

life in the forest, with all the dangers and hard times, is much more beautiful than was my life in your castle, but can you please send me that Kilian perfume and some red lipstick?
I feel the urge to be sophisticated "


Tudor discussing with us about the movie.






A few days ago I was invited at a Palace. Yep, a palace - the Cesianu-Racovita Palace
 for the launch of the new Givenchy perfume - Dhalia Noir.

In a sophisticated atmosphere, this black tie event gathered all the beautiful people from this industry.

Now, you probably wonder how are those events related with The Snobbish Advice.

Well, I got my "Snobbish Advice" (you remember we talk about the fact that "The Snobbish Advice" it's not snobbish at all, I'm just being ironical) from my friend the snail.

He said in his letter that his life apart from "my castle" is much more beautiful but he still needs some of the comfort he was used with here.

That little fucker, I gave him my earrings and he still hated his time here.

Got me thinking, it's actually wise how he put it.

He choose how he wanted to live but also adapted from his new experience the things that made him feel good so that's it.


My Snobbish Advice for this week is:

- learn something from every little experience you have in your life and adapt it to your lifestyle. You'll wake up one day and you'll realize that you have a beautiful life.

Remember, the big picture was put together with many, little elements.



 Autumn is here, it's raining, there's fallen leaves all over the place, my life is perfect. (focus on the little, positive aspects, remember?)

Au revoir kittens.


Ohh, come meet me on Sunday, at:

If you didn't fainted by now, let's have a talk.

Do you remember last month, when I told you that that I can't wait to show you my new project for Statement Jewelry?

Well, this is it! Plus/minus my not so flat anymore tummy.I'm getting old, leave me the fuck alone.

What you see above, except 90% of my nakedness, are eight necklaces I designed along with Ioana (the extremely dedicated designer behind the brand) and her team.


When I was invited to do this I tended to say no. Nowadays everybody does a bit of everything. I don't wanna be like that. 

One of my strong beliefs is that one has to stay focused on the thing he does best in that period of his life. Sure, I think of myself that I can do anything and everything, I have a lot of confidence and a big ego. If it's right or wrong, I don't know, the only thing I'm sure of is that it fuels me in the morning. It helps me do what I focus on doing. But I'm not gonna do a bit of everything just because I think I can.

Ok, I copy/pasted a  part from my little introspection regarding this collaboration. My conscience can rest now.

In the end I couldn't resist of designing a necklace line along with Ioana, a line for the urban countesses.

 Another argument in my positive decision was the principles this brand was build on.   

Statement Jewelry Studio designs are exclusively natural stones jewelry. Some of the pieces have vintage elements like pandants, brooches of chains incorporated and Ioana and her team are paying a hell of a lot of attention to the manufacturing process.

And finally, the pitch Ioana made me. 

"Oh Ana, you're the ultimate modern queen. Every young woman dreams to have your jewelry collection and you confidence..." 

The little devil...

Ultimately, I said "yes" and we designed eight romantic and strong necklaces for "the modern queens" like Ioana said.

 - each necklace has a name that was at same point one of my nicknames. 

- they all have vintage metal elements incorporated cause I will be forever obsessed with the Belle Epoque period.

 - I adore these particular cats cause their owner is one of the most passionate and kind persons I've ever met 

- my body is not perfect but I'm madly in love with it. Please do the same. Not with mine, with yours! Goood.


I hope you guys love this line and you will feel like the ultimate citizen queen when you wear them.

The collection will be available stating tomorrow on Statement Jewelry online shop or at Statement Jewelry Studio.

GLAM INSTA-MOMENTS
September 19, 2012

The little things that brighten my days surprisingly are getting instagramized lately. 
Damn this little, addictive application.

Now, in no particular order here's what's crosses my mind right now:

  • I hope autumn comes faster, with all those warm colored leaves, pumpkins (I was at a farm last weekend and I picked some. It was so peaceful and fun, and glam!!! at least in my vision)
  • People who always point the finger at other people tire me   
  • I wanna find that dress which will put that stupid, shopaholic smile on my face
  • I'm  super excited about the new art classes I'm gonna attend
  • Thinking about the perfect autumn corner, somewhere in the nature, to make Serban a picnic
  • Eating vegetables all day ruins me (I'm trying to quit my junk food diet)


Now, here's a few of my latest iphone uploads - explained and detailed



Andra Andreescu is a new designer who's urban chic creations I absolutely adore. She is also a dear friend of mine. 

 You are my most glam and polite personality Andra. And that goes a long way. 

 A bunch of roses for her birthday.




City breaks. The poisonous apple for all the innocent Snow Whites. Ivy (my endless fascination when it comes to plants). Yep, I'm still smoking.




My living room table



Sunday reads. My autumn crop. Latest jewelry loves. Chic cigarettes.




We were at our friend Stephan Pelger fashion show last week. It was amazing. The collection, the garden where it took place, the glam dress I fell in love with...tres, tres chic.

The dress I wore is form his new line called "Dress to Dress". It's so soft and feminineee. I adore it!




Congrats Andreea for being Gabriela's winner and for the I AM CIUDAT collaryou will wear so glamorously from now on.



Number 2, congrats!

Send me an email with you contacts.

horrayyyy



I'm covering an exclusively event for you on Sunday.

Make sure to put it in your agenda and come at the castle.



 I'm going to watch Suits now (Thank you Sanziana)

Good night kittens.

Hello kittens,

I am writing you from a quiet and peaceful place. 

No, no, on the contrary to the popular belief I am not at a mental hospital. I'm just taking a break from all new media channels lately and try some slow living.

I spent my last days at a architectural warded hotel, situated in a very beautiful and romantic area in Romania. Read a lot, took long walk in the forest, cropped pumpkins, only checked Facebook once.

As I told to the Molecule F girls, it didn't matter that I wasn't in the city that I didn't glamorously styled my outfits.

I had breakfast in this veil dress from Alina Botea. I madly fell in love with it. So Wallis Simpson no?

I love Alina's designs, they are so made for the modern countesses. 
Find them on Molecule F



What are you doing these days?

Eric (you saw him at the beginning of the summer, remember?) Delia's awesome child had his first day of school today. He was magnificent!!! Look
