''A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.''-Coco Chanel

(Oh, how couldn't I include a photo of my new haircut in the moodboard?? At first I thought it would be just me bragging but hey- this is my blog and you have to put up with my weird moods- thank you for that, by the way!).

I want to go back to the lovely quote of Coco Chanel- I believe that what makes it so genius is its duplicity: it applies in the situations when you decide to make a radical change with your hair (like my BFF did one year ago- it was hard for me to get used to it but I have to admit she looks incredible!) and it's also a great way to comfort yourself after you cut a few inches just to keep your hair healthy.I'm in the second situation right now and I'm missing my long hair a lot (although my friends assured me that it's still long enough) and this quote just makes me smile!

Now, let's talk about the collage itself- I've been doing some reseatch ever since I write for TeenyStyle and I noticed so many cool clothes and trends that I just had to share my favourite selection around here as well. So, I will reveal my TOP 5 CURRENT OBSESSIONS:

Mood board= place where I keep my inspiration, favorite quotes, role models, and I must have some Vogues or favorite perfumes around! Also, let's not forget my name!

PS: Sorry for the lack of posts, my fab photographer has been away for quite a while! Photoshoot tomorrow!

Ioana, at Vogue Fashion Night Out, Paris, September 2011

This Monday's Muse happens to be one of the people that inspired me to start this amazing and interesting journey in the online world. Meet Ioana Liliana from Fashezine , a magic blog which I love visiting anytime. It's not only the flawless outfits and the impressive collection of shoes I love(you know me with my Miu Miu obsession!) , but also all the stories, the food journal and all the great tutorials and DIY posts.

The photos are flawless, the design is so unique and Ioana is such a sweetheart when it comes to her readers.

As for her style, she knows best how to mix feminine accents with pastel tones or interresting prints and she is one of the few people I've ever seen to rock white stockings. Each outfit tells a story , and, on top of that , decors are always breathtaking.

Oh my! This cape is driving me crazy, especially combined with the pussy bow blouse! Amazing!

As I have stated many times on here, I am an avid lover of what I call "virtual window shopping". I love finding all these shops and boutiques online, that I wouldn't probably have the chance to visit in real life.

Therefore, whenever I find a lovely place online, which seems trustworthy and with qualitative clothes, I like to spread the word, both online and offline. And well, I figured out a while ago, what a better place to write my thoughts other than my blog, where all of you, my dear readers are stylish people, with a high taste in fashion.

And my last find is.. Ellos! When I came across to it, for the first time, I was rather intigued by their motto: "Welcome to Scandinavian style", since the domain was from UK. However, it didn't take me long to discover that Ellos is a long established brand in Sweden recently launched to the UK.

The welcome of the page was warm&nice enough and I really like the styles offered for this season such as "Granny Glam" or "Fantasy Folk".

I couldn't help but notice they do faux fur, pussy bow blouses and different prints for this particular fall, still with a clean and simple line. I have made a selection of my favorite things I'm considerring to buy at some point:

So what if it's fall? We can still COLORBLOCK! by marylu1 featuring a tie shirt

I still can't get used to the idea it is fall now. Nothing changed except the weather, at least until Monday, when school starts again. I can't imagine how I will deal with it since it's such an important year, but I'd rather not think about it, at least for the time being.

I feel so inspired lately, I'm excited for the fashion weeks, even if I'll just have to watch the whole experience on style.com and other sites. I don't get why I should give up to bright colors this fall, I think I'll still keep some accents in my outfits (that's why you see that set above). I just have a good feeling, I'm optimistic, it will be my name day soon (I'm Mary, in case you have forgotten) and I have just realised I haven't done an inspiration post in months!
