Back to bloggin'...?

2012-09-04T17:27:00.002+03:00

I noticed I need a certain kind of mood to blog. I must confess I hadn't had that mood in a while... probably because I don't get enough feedback...or I'm just way to much in love with other apps on my phone (like instagram, follow me btw @gabriestla)...or I got lazy..or I had been too busy to blog...or all together. That's a nasty combo, isn't it? Well now... I'll get back to blogging, I just have to update a lil' bit of everything. Stay tuned! Love, Gab~

Since I was stuck in bed and feeling like hell, I've reserved 3h15min for one of Coppola's babies... worth it! A must see anyways!

ZARA Blue Leather Plaited Shopper

2012-03-18T18:59:00.000+02:00

I've been hunting for this Zara blue bag since the beginning of fall 2011. It was love at first sight, and only a woman can understand what I just said. I must emphasize though that a dear friend of mine, a male..., Bob, helped me get this Plaited Shopper. So, thanks to him, I own this baby. The fact is that this city does not have a Zara shop...boring!!!!!!!! So, I have to go to Cluj to buy the things I want from them...or in this case, ask someone else to go and "capture" them for me and send the babies to me. Well...the things women do for the things they love! Right? :))
So...the bag is big, blue, quite expensive a man would say, has an inner pouch, but it's perfect for me when going to a theatre performance, when travelling (especially by plane) and, of course, when shopping. It's buffalo leather, it's gonna last forever, it's edgy because of the color and it's classy because of it's structure.

I LOVE IT. PERIOD

Swatch New Gent Red ♥♥♥

2012-03-17T17:44:00.000+02:00

If you've checked my previous post, you must of noticed the red watch I've been sporting... well then... This is my latest crush from Swatch. I think I have a crush on each watch brand or so... :)))

In my opinion, the watch is the best accessory, both for women and men. If it's the right one, the outfit is completed. That's why "Less is more" works here! :)

Well, back to this red beauty... It's not actually a 2012 collection...no...but that doesn't matter to me. I've seen it, I liked it, I had to have it. In fact, I love all the colors form the New Gent collection...damn... :)) Here's some more: http://www.swatch.com/zz_en/watches/fw2011_newgent.html

Knock yourself out! :)

spring...in every way!

2012-03-17T17:01:00.000+02:00

Spring is coming, if we want it or not, just like change. And it feels good. Quite much has happened lately, good and bad things, but, somehow I still manage to smile. Probably that's my savior...don't know for how long though...
We've decided to enjoy the beautiful weather outside and today we went for a walk in the park and visited the Mineralogy Musem. The sun rays lifted my spirit up and the cotton candy injected the right amount of happiness in my veins.

About Face by Scott Barnes

2012-03-16T19:11:00.000+02:00

I've being eyeing this book for some time now and my bf got it for me as a gift. You should know that I love everything about makeup, and out of all the famous and beautiful women out there, I really like JLo's flawless makeup. I know that Scott Barnes is "responsible" of her makeup, so I was really interested in this book. I must say he has a different way of doing applying products, but I wasn't totally unaware of it, because it does remind me of stage make up, which I love doing. The transformations he does on these women he has in the book are indeed wonderful and one surely has a lot to learn out of "About Face".

It's, without doubt, a must-buy!

Mon Caprice

2012-03-16T17:13:00.000+02:00

In the last couple of weeks I hit Mon Caprice just for their Potato Crust Mozzarella. I must confess I really like it and it goes terrific with salad. I added a fresh lemonade, good lighting, good company....and that was it for tonight's dinner! :)

New in: KEUNE - hair care

2012-03-15T17:50:00.000+02:00

This shampoo is the latest hair care purchase. I read a lot of things about Keune and this product is quite good.As you might noticed, I have long hair and it's quite difficult to obtain a volume effect. But at least, this is the first step... shampooing. :)) It anyways, better that the L'Oreal Vector force Shampoo I just finished, that smelled like my dad's old shaving cream... :)) So, thumbs up for this product! :)

My fave body cream ever ~ ESCADA Ocean Lounge

2012-03-01T17:56:00.000+02:00

The title of this post says about everything... :)) Yeah, I love Escada! I discovered a few years ago their perfumes, and now I love their shower gels and body lotions also. They're so soft, creamy and they smell delicious...like a perfect sunny day on a tropical beach! If you haven't tried these products yet, you run and buy some! You won't be disappointed!

spring for Escada...

Snow Time!!!

2012-02-18T15:48:00.000+02:00

It's absolutely crazy how much snow we got this year!! Just look at these photos!
We were out for snowboarding again, with the GoPro HD Hero2 camera on and a lot of smiling! I simply love that feeling of throwing myself in the snow! I'll love it till I die! It's one of the best feelings in the world! :) ...having a cup of hot and spicy red wine after all that playing... Ahhhhh!!! It was a nice day! :))

winter glimpse

2012-02-13T16:15:00.000+02:00

WE had some things to do in Cluj, so we just had a tiny and fast trip to this city that I love...I probably tell you that all the time! :))) The, oh, so well known pit stop at Starbucks, to have a piece of their cheesecake and a mild spiced coffee. It was snowing like crazy outside, so this was the perfect escape for a stress free zone moment. :) I enjoyed that! :)
Talk to you soon!

February To Buy List :)

2012-02-05T16:26:00.000+02:00

...had a crush on the red New Gent for a while now. Must put an end to this torture :))

Need to restock on body care...Lalique Body Lotion, Iceberg and Escada shower gels...

Although it's still a hell (frozen one) of a winter outside, I want these black aviator sunnies.

The best part is I can wear them any season... :D :))

chillin'

2012-01-31T16:18:00.000+02:00

Hanging out with some of our new theatre mates at their apt...and Mate rocking his GoPro camera. :) Nice angle! :)

with ma board on...

2012-01-29T16:11:00.000+02:00

This was an amazing sunny day for snowboarding. How insane are this photo shots? I'm loving the GoPro Camera more and more everyday. You just need the sun up in the sky and the pics look great. The ones in this post are a living proof! Can't wait to try the camera under water!We went to the very top of the m-tin...check out the cool view!!!

wearing today: NewYorker jacket, Spider pants, Adidas hat, GNU board, Salomon bindings, Burton boots.

Talk to u soon!

backstage...

I love this pic Mate took during today's theatre performance backstage...the fox and the wolf together. :) How cute is this?

the one and only...scarf

2012-01-22T22:40:00.000+02:00

neat

theatre + face paint

2012-01-20T15:55:00.000+02:00

Painting relaxes me...It's a joy for me to be able to do that. It's a lot like cooking also. You create something special... and I like to create beautiful things! It's a joy to play this theatre character for children (and not only).And it's a joy helping other theatre mates to become a character. :)
Go and see a theatre play, it will make you feel good!

board ... snowboard

2012-01-16T16:43:00.000+02:00

This winter I tried to enjoy the fact that we had snow like we used to when we I were a child. And that was a looot! Not to mention, this city has a lot of the ski runs on the mountains near by, so...off we go! This time we went on the Suior Ski Run. Still loving my GNU board, still have a lot to learn, but that's why I love snowboardin'! You'll never see me skiing, cause I'm just not attracted to it.
Mate bought a GoPro camera and the pics and the video are exceptional indeed. It just makes you go out and film everything! Hope you guys enjoyed your winter time (the ones who have winter at least).
Big kiss, talk to you soon!

sponge cake time...

2012-01-06T21:04:00.000+02:00

I gave it a shot...it turned out pretty ok...don't ask for a recipe cause I took it form a book. :) It was my first time trying the icing on top of the sponge cake...hmmmm....I still have a lot to learn and practice. :)
