"You're my kind of guy cause I like your style and you sound as horrible as me"

I would have loved to offer a dozen outfit photos today but I don't think anyone would be quite interested in seeing a make-up-less girl wearing gray sweat pants and a nightie buried under papers and clutching a Diet Coke for dear life. I might leave the house this week so fingers crossed until then!

Between reading about the reproductive system (as Andy said, it's weird that we'll end up knowing about that part of the human anatomy more through theory than practice by the end of this month. Thank you again university!) and taking naps, I spent my days thinking about men's fashion recently.

I always get asked what I want in a guy. Besides the smarts (no need to feel my neurons commit suicide while he's talking, thankyouverymuch) and the ability to stand me fangirl about Batman and Balmain, I admit that fashion sense is really a necessity.

I don't expect D&G suits all day but please boys, leave the sweat pants, crocs, socks with sandals combinations, polyester tight white tees, fake sunglasses with DIOR written in huge sparkly letters on the side and pimp shoes at home! Or better yet, burn them so no unsuspecting victim can run into them by mistake and suffer permanent psychological scarring. True story!

Personally I fall for all different kind of men's style. A man that can wear a suit makes me go weak in the knees. At the same time, I will always have a soft spot for bandboys with their white tees, ripped jeans and converse. Also, give me a boy that looks like he's been living in a library with his black rimmed glasses and plaid pants and I die.

Never make me chose, I love their ties and vests as much as the hippie headbands!

So, what do you fall for when it comes to men's fashion? What style makes your pupils turn into little beating hearts immediately? Geek Chic, Rock'n'Roll or Casual to the max?

And in case you need any inspiration, here are some of my favorite boys in all their perfect(ly) different styles. Enjoy :)

(click all photos for bigger)

James Franco:
The only reason I watch Spiderman every time it's on HBO. Smart, talented and stylish! And if you haven't seen Milk yet, than leave everything now and go see it. Great, great movie.

Be it suit jacket or leather jacket, he wears both so well.





Surprise adorkable Seth Rogen cameo.


Joshua Jackson:
He might have been born with style in his veins or taught by the always fabulous Diane Krueger, I don't care as long as he keeps looking this amazing forever.

Couldn't resist posting this photo. Adorable!




Jonathan Rhys Meyers:
After watching Velvet Goldmine and The Tudors I came to the realization that he is a perfect eye candy. And he rocks the casual I'm-too-cool-for-any-of-you look better than most.



The boys from Kings of Leon or most alternative rock bands out there:
I think my rock chick period has left a permanent mark on my brain. I blame the guitars and the fact that we could wear the same size and style pair of jeans :)) Also, the music aint' to be ignored either.



Robert Pattinson:
The just-got-out-of-bed-and-I-don't-necessarily-mean-from-sleeping casual look that this boy pulls off is why I like him. That, and he sparkles as Edward, what more can a girl ask for?

Him and Kirsten make a very nice red carpet couple.


Robert Downey Jr.:
Talented as hell and incredibly cool, what more can I say? I fell for this man when he starred in Ally McBeal and I am so glad he managed to turn his life around because he's too much of an amazing actor (on screen and off).

Stiller, Downey and Black: best on screen threesome ever.




And I couldn't not post a photo of his sweet and stylish wife.


Ed Westwick:
If the Chuck Bass way of dressing feels too much for the guys out there, then I think they can all take a lesson from his red carpet looks:



Ryan Gosling:
The perfect casual style.



Jared Leto:
You may not like his band or his attitude, but he's a really good actor and when the boy cleans up, he really look amazing:



Johnny Depp:
Need I say more?

Depp and Burton, too good not to post.




Brandon Flowers (The Killers):
Told you I had a thing for rock stars and band boys. And this boy has a bigger love for over-the-top and sequins than me so I can't help but love him.




Sparkles and suits, yes please!

If these aren't enough inspiration then I also recommend checking out The Sartorialist and Dapper Kid for some more perfect examples of what stylish men look like day to day.


Perfection.

"This is where we both break free"

So, I have been in a very brain-dead kind of state of being this past two week, what will all the billion pages of courses and the fact that my motivation to study is somewhere in the gutter (a/n: Dear god, please bring me a McDreamy fast or I might turn this into a Medical School: The Horror Movie soon.)

But then I got a lovely e-mail from the even lovelier Dada from DaDaMoDa asking me if I'd like to be interviewed for her fashion site. Needless to say I've been bouncing around just thinking about it all week!

The interview (in Romanian, sorry everyone else) is here if you want to check it out :) A big, warm thank you to Dada!! And to all the Romanian readers (wow, there are a lot more of you than I originally though!) I'm sending you a lot of hugs si va multumesc mult pentru toate comment-urile frumoase, they always make my day :)

"She's such a charmer, she stole my karma"


From left to right: Andy, Irina D, Maria and Irina.

This has got to be my favorite photo I took of my girls from uni. You can't even tell they're getting ready to start an exam, can you?

January seems to really want to reach Coldest Month status. I don't mind that much really. Especially today, it was the good kind of cold. The one where the air feels fresh in your lungs and numbs out any thoughts that might plague your mind. Or maybe I have my head filled with too many things, who knows.

*

People who know me know that I don't just like things (movies, music, etc.), I obsess over them. The newest obsession? Kings of Leon with their amazing album, Only by the Night. As I am a very alternative rock/pop-punk kind of girl, their songs really do make my toes curl with delight.



Kings of Leon's singer, inspiring new outfits since this morning.

Today style inspiration comes from them too; as soon as I saw this photo of the band's singer, Caleb Followill, I knew I had found today's outfit.
So here's my take on it:












My deer-caught-in-the-headlights look ;)




white top: Zara, cardigan: Mango, jeans: Mango, necklaces: Accessorize & Police.

"Outfit; That's how it goes, you think you're on top of the world, and suddenly they spring Armageddon on you."


Being dressed and ready to leave the house before the sun rises is never fun. But it does offer some great photo opportunities.

Life is still hectic and things are still a bit of a letdown, so lets focus on the things that are good, like:

+ this blog. I so want a new make-up case this Christmas now!
+ The Treasures of YSL
+ Time's Top 10 medical breakthroughs of '08. I just spent the week reading about stem cells so this came just in the nick of time.
+ waking up to find that The Mighty Boosh season 1 has finished downloading. Guess what I'm doing today?
+ Fall Out Boy's Folie a Deux. It's even better than I expected and I expected a lot!
+ Hugh Jackman. Enough said.
+ plans for sleepovers and Chinese dinners.
+ cozying up in bed with movies and hot cups of coconut tea.

Can it be Christmas now?

Thursday:








Can't you see the happiness of having to survive one last course before the week is over?


That is your artery :P

dress: Mango, top: Zara, tights: Accessorize, boots: Musette.

"It's gonna be legen - wait for it. - dary"

Quote of the night:
M: I - I have - I feel so weird. Like there's something in my soul, in me, sliding, you know?
Me: It's called being drunk.
M: Oh. Yeah, I think so.




Nothing beats deciding in exactly four seconds flat, at 9:51pm, that you suddenly want Starbucks from the mall and immediately start running in heels towards the car, speeding down one of the busiest streets in the city, parking inches away from another car and sliding through the doors (while running into your Starbucks crush) 3 minute before closing time.

While being drunk.

We must have looked like three very very happy girls. Happy National Day again, Romania :)

I can now pull an all-nighter with my physiology courses because I had my booze, my adrenaline and now my Dark Cherry Mocha :)

PS: This is my 99th post.
PPS: And the first time I managed 2 posts in one day!

"Outfit; Theres something in the distance, a glorious existance"

Today's Outfit:






dress: Naf Naf, blouse: Mango, belt: Zara Kids, booties: Replay Jeans, necklace: Diva

Happy National Day, Romania! Thank you for the day off!

In other news, my house is in the middle of winter cleaning and renovation. I am sitting on boxes and living with a clean freak of a mother. So of course this also meant The Cleaning of the Closet (yes, capitalization is needed, believe me.). I realized yesterday, after 5 hours of sorting and cleaning (and watching the second half of season 1 of How I Met Your Mother) that I have a lot of clothes and this only means one thing:

I need to buy a bigger closet ;D

The Big Closet Cleaning of '08
Before:


The dresses.


The tights and socks.


The belts.


The clothes.

After:









Much better, no?
