Life and lessons in Romania

I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Suceava, Romania, while writing this post. Tommorow, I'll travel by train to Bucharest and I'll stay there for a few more days. I'll be flying home on Monday. It has been a lot of fun these two weeks, and I've learned a lot. But because pictures tell you more than words, here are a few pictures I made:

traditional Romanian fashion

Something completely different; I absolutely adore the jewellery collection Tom Binns made inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Admit it; you would love to find these pieces in a rabbit hole!

Viva Romania!

I'm kind of freaking out right now, because I'll be on a plane to Romania tomorrow. I still have to pack a lot of things and do a lot of stuff, and it's half past ten already and I have to be at the airport tomorrow by half past seven. This is a project of my high school; we're going to teach English to Romanian kids and teenagers. I'll teach students who're older than me (they're 16/17) which is kind of weird actually, and hard, because English is not my native language. However, this is a great opportunity and I think it will be a good learning experience. I'll be in Romania for two weeks, and I don't know if I'll be able to post anything, so maybe you won't hear from me until I'm back.
To leave you with some fashion-related stuff: I'm very obsessed by wedges currently. I really have to get a pair this spring/summer. Here some wedges-inspiration from Lookbook:

Wedges from Topshop:

Sea of Love

I really loved this shoot from Teen Vogue's April 2010 issue. The idea of romantic prom dresses photographed on a beautiful dreamlike beach just worked for me. I really got the atmosphere. I turned the pages like a maniac while things like Jane Austen novels, indians, old sailors, Atlantis, summer in Fiji, living on a uninhabited island and sand castles ran through my head.

The outfit I wore today was inspired by the shoot. I gave my white lace dress a less bridal feeling by throwing a grey sweater over it.

Sweater: H&M, lace dress: Topshop, necklace: de Bijenkorf, tights: V&D, shoes and bag: vintage.

I just can't wait till it's warm enough to swim in the sea... I live near the sea, so when the weather is nice enough, I can just cycle to the beach and be there in twenty minutes. It's one of the greatest things about the place where I live.
