Mary's Fashion Diary: cachet

♪ Blondie - Maria ♪

Today I'm celebrating my name day with a very special giveaway because you, my dearest readers, deserve it! I'm feeling really chatty today, so there are lots of things I will blog about in this post.

First of all, let's talk about my name, because I to make some things clear. My birth name is Maria. Ever since she was a little girl, my mom dreamed about having a baby girl named Maria, she just loved it and my dad thought it would go great with my last name. Maria is one of the most popular names in Romania and I personally prefer Mary because when I was 10 I joined Stardoll and I made so many friends there (that's how I learned English actually) who would always call me Mary! When I started to blog, many of my Stardoll friends (we kept in touch thanks to one wonderful invention called facebook) read it so I just went by Mary. Here's where it gets funny. My family started to read my blog as well and they just started calling me Mary as a pet name. The rest of the people I know call me Maria, but I love the fact that I'm called Mary at home, it feels intimate. There are downsizes to being named Maria (all sorts of songs about my name, I hear people calling my name on a daily basis- I have a very close friend called Maria in college, you never know which one of us is requested at some point) but I love the fact I always get to celebrate my name day, it's always an important day in my family!

Therefore, I wanted to mark this special occasion with a GIVEAWAY. I teamed up with Cachet, the amazing brand I wrote about here. You may have seen on Instagram my Odyssey Iphone case arrived and I absolutely love it! What you should know about me is the fact that I'm very particular about dressing up my phone. The first big brand purchase I ever did? A Marc Jacobs Ipad case, just so you can get the picture - I just thought "I may not afford to dress in Marc Jacobs, but my Ipad sure will" . I kept this philosophy in my life and the cases on my phone reflect my mood, my style, different occasions. I'm also particular about quality, so the Odyssey Cachet case really ticks all my boxes, it's limited edition and it came with a certificate of authenticity.

I wanted to show you how I match my outfits to my phone & also talk about the 2017 fall trend report. Plaids are back in style, and better than ever! I got this lovely plaid playsuit from Zara, their store is full of plaid, but I loved this piece because you noticed I have a thing for playsuits, I loved the color scheme (you can never go out of style in black & white) and I can't wait to wear it with my black thigh-high boots when it gets chilly! I also love my new black&white earrings, they're the gift my parents got me for my name day, I was obsessed with the Dior pearl earrings and this pair sort of reminds me of them.
