Happy Easter!
Hey! Yesterday was Ortodox Easter and I celebrated it with my parents and my bf's family at their house. It's nice to be in a quiet neighbourhood for a change. Even though we were still in Bucharest, you really didn't feel that background noise and everything was relaxing. This was my outfit for the celebration. I was looking forward to wear this relaxed jumpsuit that I bought a month ago but couldn't wear because it wasn't that hot outside.
Have a beautiful day!
I wore:
River Island jumpsuit and blazer
Sandals bought from a store in Rome
Bata clutch
Meli melo necklace

Celebrity trendsetters
I think we all have a "fashion icon", someone that provides fashion inspiration. In most of the cases these are celebrities: actresses, models, TV celebs etc. Some of them have a different vision that sooner or later becomes a trend and, of course, some of them are just not worth mentioning.
These are some examples that caused a fashion hysteria.
Audrey Hepburn & Cropped Slacks With Ballet Flats
Sure, her Breakfast At Tiffany's look might be the most recognizable, but no ensemble has inspired such a relaxed revolution as Audrey Hepburn's revival of the ballet flat.
Gwen Stefani & White Muscle Tees
Hey, remember when sleeveless T-shirts were for aerobics classes and plumbers only? See, since No Doubt crashed through the top of charts with "Don't Speak" it's become perfectly normal to wear cropped tank tops with statement accessories. Even though she developed her LAMB style, we will always remember her like this.
Sarah Jessica Parker & Manolo Stilettos
Yep, Manolos! From the 1970s all the way up to the turn of the century, the dead-sexy stilettos created by the Spanish designer were, indeed, the toast of the Upper East Side, Monaco, and anywhere else money and high style flowed. But it was only when Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex And The City character fell into ecstatic fits over them that these works of footwear art became mainstream fetish objects.
Kate Moss & The Leopard Coat
Yes, yes — the leopard print is, quite literally, prehistoric. But, honestly, toward the end of the 20th century, coats made out of the print were more associated with senior citizens and rich women of questionable taste. The secondhand stores were filled with them. But then Ms. Moss slipped into one and it became dangerous, deadly, and decidedly young again.
Mary-Kate/Ashley Olsen & Hobo-Style Boho
Oh the hobo style! I have to admit is one of my favorites. The tabloid press used to call them "bag ladies," and for a moment there, I was right along with them. But when you're not in the mood to dress up and you have that cozy long cardigan, everything makes sense and you realize that these girls knew what they're doing.
Alexa Chung & The Peter Pan Collar
Dating back to at least the Renaissance, the Peter Pan collar has been favored by the fashionably demure. Somehow, though, none of the many chic women who've worn it over the centuries have ever "owned" it like Alexa Chung has. For someone so brash and bold, somehow the collar makes her simultaneously more girlish and more laddish — a neat trick.
Jenna Lyons & Daytime Sequins
Fittingly, the maven of J.Crew is also the harbinger of well-heeled daytime glam, or the pairing of opposites, if you will. Boyfriend jeans with heels, button-ups on the red carpet, and toning down sequins for a bit of sunlight-ready flair.
Rihanna & The Flat-Brimmed Hat
Her hair seems to change by the hour, but the hat remains the same. Her strongest sartorial connect to her hip-hop roots, however, remains her flat-brimmed, always-sharp hat. As her look becomes more and more refined and feminine, the hats point to her boyish charm.
