What do people do at fashion weeks?

Searching for online inspiration from Instagram fashion week photos? We all do that!  Sometimes, when I finally look up from my phone, I realise I spent 2 whole hours scrolling through fashion week feeds.
So.. I was, of course,  curious about the fashion week experience.
My schedule is usually pretty hectic, so I cannot attend the fashion shows. But when I was invited as a special guest by ELLE Romania and Tommy Hilfiger for his Fall/Winter 2018 show, I instantly knew I had to be there!

You think anyone with a smartphone can be a fashion blogger or that all that fashion magazines editors do is travel and have fun?  Not really. It’s a lot of work.
I went with my friends and stylists Roxana Voloseniuc and Domnica Margescu from ELLE Romania to Milan.
They were attending fashion show after fashion show, from morning till night, always having to catch the next one and always looking stylish and fresh! If you are a girl, you know that’s not easy!  There are also meetings, interviews and photo shootings, managing photographers, studios, styling and more.
I guess is true that in every field of work you have to be passionate and hard working.

The shows and clothes are incredible and apparently absolutely worth  coming back at the hotel at 2 a.m. in the morning only to start over the next morning. At least if you’re Roxana or Domnica.  As for me, it was a really cool and fun experience and I would definitely do it again, as long as it’s only for one or two days :))  Only music, my concerts and fans can keep me running like this!

Watch my interview with Tommy Hilfiger. OMG I was so nervoussss! And excited in the same time!
The meeting took place just before the show. It was a meeting between two people who love fashion and music. I was impressed by how nice and easy to talk to he is.

Fun fact about him: in high school he was so small he had to sneak weights in his pockets to get on the football team. If this doesn’t show ambition to do the things you feel passionate about no matter the obstacles, I don’t know what does!
Such an inspiration!

My outfit for the show:

For the show,  Milano Congressi was transformed into a Formula One racetrack. The collection worked great with the racing-themed red, white, black and blue. It was all about cars and beautiful sexy, confident people!  Striped leather trousers, plastic visors and other things I love and wear for my concert outfits (nylon, spandex, chiffon). It felt like a natural match for me.

This  was an ELLE and Tommy Hilfiger project and we did the photo shooting for the coverstory in Milan.
One of the fastest photoshootings ever! In only 4 hours, we finished everything just in time for a traditional Italian lunch.

For this single I worked with Barac Sebastian-Alexandru, Botezan Marcel, Lucan Vlad-Octavian and for the lyrics Thomas Troelsen and me

Peace and love,

In between concerts, I decided to do a small promo in Turkey to promote “Ruleta”! I love Turkey and my all my Turkish fans! They are always there for me and my music. From my very first song! That’s why, no matter how busy my schedule is, I make sure I visit Istanbul and all the radios that keep me in their ears and hearts.

After so much travel, I got to stay 3 whole days in the same city, same bed, same pillow!

The first day I had just one interview at the hotel. So after that, we went for a night walk around the city. Istanbul is amazing! I feel like layers of history unfold in front of me just walking down it’s streets. I like to walk down the ones that are lined with sidewalk cafes. Everything is brighly colored and people are having fun.

The next day we strated early at NumberOne TV and Radio. I really like coming here. The place is beautiful and the interviews are funny.

This time we did a small contest where the loser had to …. You have to see the interview to understand

Next was Pal Fm, Power Fm and Fenomen Radio. I prepared for them a special acoustic version of “Ruleta”!

Plus ….it’s in Palma de Mallorca!
How can you not want to come back here every time you have the chance?!

The only thing I don’t really like is the huuuuuge airport. After 2 flights, believe me, you don’t want to walk that much!

We decided to change our normal hotel with a small boutique in the old town. It was beautiful! We had a whole floor just for us. It was like our own private house. The original high ceilings with intricate wooden carvings and original floors were a dream to see. Since this was a very busy month for me, I decided to make the most of every free day. So instead of traveling back to Romania for just one day we stayed and went on a sailing trip!

We woke up early in the morning and prepared everything for this trip. Food, drinks and of course, bathing suits!

The boys were excited to learn a little bit about sailing. Using only the force of the wind to move forward is a way of moving in connection with nature. It is an amazing feeling…
We spend some incredible hours on the boat! Soaking up the sunrays, swimming, snorkeling, reading, drinking, laughing and listening to spanish music.

Our skipper sailed us to a beautiful golf with clear blue water for the sunset. Such a sensory satisfaction gazing at the sunset while on a boat! Even better going to swim in the warm water enjoying the beauty of it!

One small tip from me: a real must is taking a short nap while sailing. The smooth swaying makes it real confortable to fall asleep and you feel like a baby in a swing.

None of us got seasick, even though the boat was swaying constantly, but after 8 hours of sailing, we were exhausted.
I went to sleep satisfied and happy!

See you soon, Mallorca! See you soon, Titos!
