10 Closet essentials – Every petite woman should own

EN: If we were to start a discussion about fashion, trends and personal style we could have an endless debate. There are tons of reasons to agree or disagree on what to wear, both objective (like size, shape) and subjective (like how we see ourselves in the mirror and what we see in magazines and/or online), but there are several fashion items that every petite woman should own. They are evergreens of the wardrobe 😉

The list below is just a starting point, you can choose your preferred brands:

RO: Orice discutie despre fashion, trenduri si stil personal poate duce la dezbateri fara sfarsit. Sunt multe motive pentru care poti adapta sau respinge un trend, atat obiective (forma si marimea siluetei), cat si subiective (perceptia asupra reflexiei din oglinda sau ceea ce vezi in reviste, in online), dar sunt cateva piese vestimentare pe care fiecare femeie mignona ar trebui sa le aiba in dulap. Sunt evergreenuri ale garderobei!

Lista de mai jos este un punct de pornire, fiecare dinre voi poate opta pentru marcile preferate:
  1. Nude stiletto suede high heels – here
  2. Black pencil dress – here
  3. Leather jacket – here
  4. Casual T-shirt – white & black
  5. Flared jeans – here
  6. Navy slim fit office suit – jacket and pants
  7. White shirt – here
  8. Big handbag – here
  9. Backpack – here

Kisses and hugs, my petites!

Green vibes: Blazer dress or what to wear at a wedding

RO: Cand privesti lucrurile din alt unghi, chiar si in fashion, gasesti modalitati noi de a purta hainele sau ajungi chiar sa le oferi un alt rost decat cel trecut pe eticheta. Iata un exemplu, Zara prezinta aceasta haina verde ca o vesta, pentru mine este o rochie sacou.

EN: When you think outside the box, even in fashion, you can discover new ways to wear certain items or you can give different meaning to whats written on a label. Here is one example, Zara is presenting this green thing as a vest, but for me it’s a blazer dress.

RO: In plin sezon de nunti, am cumparat rochia cu gandul la evenimentul la care urma sa particip la finalul lunii. Intodeauna caut o tinuta pe care o pot folosi si la alte ocazii. In plus, din experienta mea o rochie pentru o nunta e bine sa nu fie foarte fixa, asa te bucuri de meniu, fara sa te gandesti la burtica 😛

EN: As wedding seasons is here, I bought the dress thinking of the event that I was going to participate at the end of the month. I always look for something that I can wear to other occasions. Moreover, from my experience a wedding dress should not be tight, so you can enjoy the food without thinking of your belly.

RO: Pentru ca rochita are un verde minunat si puternic, accesoriile le-am ales de-o culoare neutra, am ales un roz pal. Am gasit sandalele la Mercari, apoi am cautat o geanta mica, in aceeasi cromatica, pe FashionDays.com.

EN: Because of the strong green of the blazer dress, accessories needed to be neutral, I thought of light pink. Luckily, I found these simple, pretty sandals in Mercari, so I looked for a a small handbag with similar color. on FashionDays.ro.

The highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the mesmerizing infinity pool. With its breathtaking views and unparalleled luxury, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

340 Meters Above the World Rasfat la 340 de metri deasupra lumii
On my adventure to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, I discovered a world of luxury and innovation. The tallest infinity pool on Earth, standing an astonishing 340 meters above the ground is right there 💗. As I dipped my feet into the clear waters, I felt like I was floating between the sky and the vibrant city below… for sure I will cherish these memories for a lifetime. In aventura mea la Marina Bay Sands din Singapore, am descoperit o lume a luxului si inovatiei. Cea mai inalta piscina infinita din lume, la 340 de metri deasupra solului, este chiar acolo 💗. In timp ce imi scufundam picioarele in apele limpezi, a fost ca si cum as fi plutit intre cer si orasul vibrant de dedesubt… cu siguranta sunt amintiri pe care le voi pastra o viata intreaga.

What to Visit in Singapore? Ce sa vizitezi in Singapore?
Of course, you must visit Gardens by the Bay! I was amazed by the beauty of this huge urban nature park, spanning a massive 101 hectares (approximately equivalent to 141 football fields in size). The Supertree Grove was the standout feature, tall gardens built around giant alien trees. As the sun went down, the Supertrees are lit up with dazzling lights and sound show, creating a magical sight. You can also explore the Cloud Forest, a wonderland dom filled with plants and a stunning waterfall. And the Flower Dome, showcasing a wide variety of flowers from all over the world. Desigur, trebuie sa vizitezi Gardens by the Bay! Am fost uimita de frumusetea acestui imens parc urban, care se intinde pe o suprafata uriasa de 101 hectare (aproximativ 141 de terenuri de fotbal). Cel mai impresionant a fost Supertree Grove, gradinile inalte cosntruite in jurul unor copaci uriasi extraterestii. Odata cu apusul soarelui, copacii sunt luminati cu o show de lumini si muzica, creand o priveliste magica. Poti explora si Cloud Forest, un dom in care au construit o lume minunata plina de plante si o cascada impresionanta. Sau Flower Dome, in care este expusa o mare varietate de flori din intreaga lume.

How about Chinatown in Singapore? Ce zici de cartierul chinezesc din Singapore?
Next on the visiting list was the vibrant and culturally rich Chinatown in Singapore. Here you will experience the unique fusion of Chinese traditions and Singaporean charm.

One of the main highlights of Chinatown is the Sri Mariamman Temple, a stunning Hindu temple adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors.

 Mai apoi pe lista de vizitat am avut vibrantul si plin de cultura cartier chinezesc din Singapore. Aici  experimentezi fuziunea unica dintre traditiile chinezesti si farmecul singaporez.

Unul dintre punctele de atractie principale ale cartierului chinezesc este Templul Sri Mariamman, un superb templu hindus decorat cu sculpturi intricate si culori vibrante.

Sri Mariamman Temple

The Sacred Tooth Relic Temple: A Must-Visit in Singapore Nu ratati o vizita la celebrul templu unde se pastreaza Dintele lui Buddha
Another notable landmark is the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, a magnificent structure that houses a sacred relic of Buddha. As you explore the temple, you can witness the devotion of worshippers, the soothing sounds of chanting, and the serene atmosphere that envelops the sacred space.Exploring the streets of Chinatown, I was captivated by the colorful houses, vibrant street markets, and street food stalls offering a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine. Un alt obiectiv notabil este Templul Dintelui Sacru al lui Buddha, o structura magnifica care adaposteste o relicva sacra a lui Buddha. In interiorul templului vei simti chiar devotamentul credinciosilor, sunetele linistitoare ale cantecelor si atmosfera serena care imbraca acest spatiu sacru.Explorand strazile cartierului chinezesc, am fost captivata de cladirile colorate, pietele stradale vibrante si tarabele cu mancaruri delicioase ce ofera o gustare din autentica bucatarie chineza.

Swimsuit Season: Monochrome summer in black and green

RO: Haideti la mare! Vara a sosit, asa ca un post scurt despre costume de baie mi se pare potrivit. O sa incep cu o intrebare, cate costume de baie aveti in garderoba?

Eu am 8, pentru o persoana care nu stie sa inoate si NU are stare sa leneveasca la soare pentru a se bronza, sunt multe…. Ce credeti?

EN: Let’s go to the sea side! Summer is here, so a short blog post about swimsuits is appropriate. I will start with a question, how many swimsuits do you have?

I have 8, for a person that does not know how to swim and does NOT have patience to linger in the sun just to get tan, are too much. What do you think?

RO: O sa va scriu despre cele mai noi, le-am comandat online si ar ajuta o parere despre ele. Cred ca multe dintre voi sunteti familiare cu Zaful.com (sigur v-au aparut reclame pe vreun canal de social media).

Dupa ce am citit cateva reviewuri online, am decis sa comand 3 seturi (doua negre, am vrut bikinul de la un set si topul de la celalalt):

EN: I will write about the newest of them, because I bought them online and I am sure that a review will help. I think many of you are familiar with Zaful.com (for sure you must have seen an ad on a social media channel).

After searching reviews online, I decided to order 3 sets (two 2 black because I wanted the bikini from one model and the top from the another):
  1. One Shoulder Bikini Set – Black
  2. Padded Scrunch Butt Bikini Set – Black
  3. Ribbed Scrunch Butt Wrap Bikini Set – Camouflage Green

RO: PRO: calitatea materialelor; modul de productie; pretul – aprox. 20 dolari/set; descrierea produselor de pe website este corecta; marimile se potrivesc (S este ideal pentru o tinuta petite) – a sa primit exact produsele pe care le vedeti in poze.

CONTRA: doar unul singur, timpul de livrare este destul de lung, cand am comandat eu au fost expediate de peste ocean; acum obsev ca au o versiune a websiteului si pentru Europa (dar, cred in continuare ca cel mai probabil comanda va ajunge dupa vara).

O sa postez poze cu celelalte 2 costume pe Instagram, pe parcursul verii 🙂

EN: PROS: quality of the materials; manufacturing; price – aprox. 20 dollars/set; the description of the products is accurate; sizes are ok (S is ideal for a petite figure) – you will get exactly what you see in the pictures.

CONS: just one, delivery time is long, unfortunately when I ordered the delivery was from across the ocean; now I see they have a version of the website for Europe (but I still think that you will probably get your order after summer).

I will post on Instagram pictures with the other two bathing suits, during the summer.

Kisses darlings and be careful how much you lay in the Sun! 😀
