June 11, 2017June 11, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Good morning Everyone and happy Sunday! How is your weekend going so far?

First, I would like to apologize for the long silence but I’ve been a little more busy than usual.

Since, it’s been so hot lately and the summer is just around the corner, I spent some time dreaming of an exotic paradise & browsing the internet in search for the perfect swimsuit.

Is your old swimsuit getting faded or just out of style? It may be time to refresh your beach wardrobe!

But before you go out (or online) scoring those swimsuits or bikinis you’ve been dreaming about, take your time to check out this pictures of designer labels and the more affordable same-look-for-less swimwear brands!

I hope you like it!

Printed swimwear is ruling the game this season.

Just Black

May 31, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Good morning Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your day going so far?

For today’s look I am wearing one of my favorite all-time combinations: a cute off-the-shouler ruffle top, black skinny jeans, black sunnies and ballet shoes. And because we planned to spend our day out shopping I choose for a large size shopper 😉

P.S.: I think flat shoes can really elevate a pair of figure-hugging jeans to no end.

Going Crazy Coconuts

May 24, 2017May 24, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Good morning Everyone and happy sunny Wednesday! How is your week going so far?

To me, there’s nothing that says “summer” like the smell of tropical coconut . It automatically makes me think of tropic beaches with white sand and palms leaning above and reflecting in turquoise water where this magnificent fruit grows. So, whenever I’m missing the summer warmth it’s the warm scent of creamy coconut that immediately transports me to a sunny beach.

Below, I’ve rounded up some of the best coconut scents and beauty products which in cold winter days takes me into summer daydreaming, while in summer they attract attention and enhance seductive tasty tact.

Flirty Florals | Amsterdam

May 17, 2017May 19, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Good morning Everyone! How is your week going so far?

Last week we visited Amsterdam. It was such a beautiful, sunny day. It seemed like everybody decided to spend their time outside soaking up every single sun ray. Although the temperatures were still a little low, people were having lunch or coffee outside and tried to pretend it’s super warm – us included.

For that day I wore a romantic dark floral dress, comfortable heels and a trench coat in a light color. I love to wear my classic spring trench coat, as it goes with almost everything plus it keeps those fresh spring breezes away from you.

The Shirt Dress

May 10, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Good morning Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your week going so far?

A fresh and timeless spring and summer staple, this lightweight shirt dress turned out to be my favorite piece. Shirtdresses are casual and easy to wear, making them perfect for the warmer days of spring and summer. They are versatile and can be easily dresses up or down.

So, if you haven’t invested in a good one yet, I recommend you do so now! 😉

Good morning and happy Wednesday, Everyone! How is your week going so far?

I just wanted to say hello and share a few images from our day at Scheveningen Beach, as I said before, one of our all-time favorite beach destinations (see blog post) and probably the most beloved stretch of sand in Holland, between The Hague and the sea. For today’s look I am wearing a white linen blend suit and my new big favorite, the statement T-shirt with red “1972” slogan. 😉

Stripes & Houndstooth

April 26, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Good morning Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is you week going so far?

As you probably noticed, I’ve always had a soft spot for feminine clothes, but this Zara one shoulder striped blouse is absolutely gorgeous! It was love at first sight. I spotted it in the store right away and of course had to have it. This is one of the most statement-making blouses I’ve come across this year. The possibilities of wearing it are absolutely infinite, so be prepared to see it often!

For today’s look I paired it with houndstooth print trousers in the same color combination and golden accessories.

The leather pencil skirt

April 19, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Hello Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your week going so far?

If you don’t own a leather pencil skirt yet, it’s time to get on it! Not only are they empowering , but they just look amazing on all bodies and are easy to style. A trend with this much staying power is worth a bigger investment, but even if you don’t want to drop the money on real leather or a designer label there are still lots of options that will keep you looking amazing and on-trend for a long time.

Happy Easter!

April 12, 2017April 12, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Hello Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your week going so far?

I just wanted to say hi and share some photos with you from last weekend. In today’s post, I’m wearing my latest find – the high waist mom jeans from Zara. Comfy and casual, they are exactly what I was searching for but haven’t been able to find the perfect fit until these ones.

I also want to take this opportunity to wish you Happy Easter!

Just give Pink a chance!

April 6, 2017May 19, 2017 Carmen de Jong Tirnoveanu

Good morning Everyone and happy Thursady! How is your week going so far?

Guess what’s hot this spring? All things pink!

And what’s not to love about pink? It goes with everything and makes you look fresher than fresh!

There has always been something… juvenile about this color, traditionally associated with hyper-femininity (formerly the preserve of Barbie) but, it’s 2017 and people are wearing what they love. So it’s no surprise that pink has been reclaimed by designers, editors, and industry movers, positioning this color at the center of their aesthetics. The prayers of girly girls everywhere have been answered: pink is the unofficial color of the year!
