"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.

Song of the Day: Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position

Thursday, 5 February 2009

"All the boys and girls would laugh, I'd watch them through the curtain's crack "

The last few days have been thus: study study study sleep study House MD sleep making paper airplanes out of courses study and again maybe some sleep.

So of course all I want now is to watch movies (The Reader and Australia are waiting for me!) while curling up in my too-fluffy-to-be-real bathrobe and eating Cheerios. Bliss.

Wednesday:
Took a break from watching the delicious Joshua Jackson on Fringe... ahem, I mean from reading the interesting facts about the regulation of the cardiovascular system to go to my Microbiology lab just to find out I didn't actually need to be there. Well, at least I got my Soy Latte out of it.




*

Thursday:
Physiology Test of Doom (capitalization is very needed!). Starbucks. First sunshine in ages. And even if I did end up wearing jeans two days in a row (part lazyness, part less fear of pants) at least I got to wear my favorite jeans today :)














This is what I'm doing for the next 24 hours. Okay, maybe like 16 hours cause tomorrow it's time to start learning for my Anatomy exam. Countdown begun.

jeans, studded cardigan: Mango, top: Naf Naf, booties: Replay Jeans, random necklaces, headband: Accessorize.

"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 :)

Song of the Day: The Cab - I'll Run

Monday, 2 February 2009

"Cinderella, she seems so easy. 'It takes one to know one,' she smiles and puts her hands in her back pockets"

It was a very lazy weekend this one, as long as you don't take in account the pages and pages of physilogy and courses on microcirculation and hemodynamics. If they sound boring it's because they are.

What I wish to do now is curl up in a warm cocoon of blankets and watch Skins and The Mentalist (a/n: thank you Andy, it's not like I did not have 15 other shows to be obsessed about. But you are right, than man is the perfect eye candy!).

Or maybe go have a warm cup of tea with colorful blonde girls and celebrate us getting here. Or girls who send beautiful texts that melt my heart and celebrate us starting here.

What I will do is brave through a million more pages of courses and freezing temperatures to get to my Informatics class. Either way, wishing everyone who stumbles on this blog a very happy week!

Saturday morning:
Nothing says relax like Starbucks dates. Met up with Dana (Mada couldn't make it, but we missed her for sure <3) and drank tea and lattes and talked and laughed and it all felt like home :)



Me in my new sweater, a surprise gift from mom!


Dana and her Blair-ish outfit.






sweater: Mango, top: Zara, tights: Accessorize, skirt: unknown.

Saturday night:
Theater night with mom and family friends. The play made us laugh and then we had dinner and I got drunk on champagne that was on the house. Good times.








The theater house is in the old center of the city. There were a lot of photo opportunities!



coat: Motivi, bag: Musette.

Today (Monday):
I love when my mom cleans out her closet. I especially loved it this weekend when I was presented with her clothes from back when she was my age. Crochet tops and cropped sweaters and especially four warm, comfy, large, slouchy sweaters. It's funny how something she wore 30 years ago is suddenly 'in' today.















sweater: my mom's from when she was my age, skirt: Pull&Bear, booties: Replay Jeans, various rings;
