The Following | Newest Addiction and Fanart

Seeing how this is (hopefully) my last year of studying architecture, I really tried my best to focus on studying... however, it's shows like The Following that make it a little bit more difficult to do.
What can I say, I enjoy a good TV series and it's been a long time since I've seen something so promising as FOX's new drama. I won't go into a lot of detail as far as what the show is about, but I find the main idea to be a very cool, relevant one: a serial killer (who draws inspiration from the works of Edgar Allan Poe) creates an online following/cult, essentially getting his fans to do his dirty work and it's up to ex-FBI agent Ryan Hardy to put a stop to it. The plot keeps you guessing and the suspense is there every single second - it really makes for good tv!

Also, there's a terrific cast; I'm talking Kevin Bacon, Shawn Ashmore, James Purefoy, Nico Tortorella - actors that I truly admire. So, seeing how I'm a huge fan of the show I made some new artwork based on the character Jacob Wells, played by Nico Tortorella. Decided to change things up a bit in terms of style, I definitely wanted to do something that was geared more towards digital painting, but that wasn't that realistic. Hope you guys like it, and I'm really looking forward to your feedback and support!

As usual, art prints, iphone cases and skins, pillows  and more are available for purchase on my Society6 store!

Carly Rae Jepsen | Tonight I'm Getting Over You (Music Video + GIFs)

Since I listen to anything top 40, it comes as no surprise that I'm a fan of Carly Rae's new single "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" - after all, it's pop and it's really catchy. However, this may be taking it a little too far...

Embarrassing tweets rock; maybe I should buy Brandi Glanville's best seller - "Drinking and Tweeting"... or maybe I should just stick to watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on BRAVO.

Got a little sidetracked there -  anyway, here are a few GIFs I made from Carly's music video, enjoy!

+ bonus GIF on my Tumblr (makes sense if you've watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower)

Bloggers with iPhones: Lana and Daenerys Edition

It's a dangerous combination, I'll admit! Having recently gotten an iPhone, I'm totally addicted to it (somehow that wasn't the case when I had a BlackBerry).
The best part is that now I can use the custom iPhone cases I've designed myself! Right now I'm using Lana Del Rey; it's always a great feeling seeing the product in front of me rather than on the screen.
My good friend Denisa from Fashion in my Eyes is a huge Daenerys Targaryen fan, so I just had to give her a case with Dani! Now all we need to do is convince Alice to join our Apple cult and we're set! Here are a few photos of us and our cases, hope you guys love them as much as I do!
Don't forget, they are available for purchase, along with many other designs on my Society6 store.

It's time for a new addition to my Society6 shop - here is "Touch of Pink", a fashion illustration inspired by Diana Enciu of FabulousMuses.com This is actually the first time I decided to do a head to toe illustration instead of a portrait, so I'm eager to hear your feedback!
As usual, the print, along with other amazing goodies such as iPhone skins, covers, tote bags and ever throw pillows are available for purchase on Society6.

Also, I've got some other great news to share with you all. Ever since I first started my online store I've been incredibly grateful and overwhelmed by the positive feedback I've been getting. Thank you all!
Since the winter Holidays are fast approaching I believe it's time to give back. Want an extra present under your tree this year? Then don't miss out on my new giveaway, for a chance to win a poster of your choice!

The Soles of Men

High heels are a lady’s luxury, but a gentleman’s creation. The current market for designer shoes is dominated by an array of international male designers, dedicated to fulfilling women’s desires for elegant footwear. In addition, some of the most elaborate shoe designs derive from British based designers.
Manolo Blahnik began making shoes in London in the 1970s. He opened his first shop in 1973 on Old Church Street in Chelsea. Blahnik’s designs are characterised by sinuous silhouettes and sharp stiletto heels. He used an arts and crafts style as inspiration for his autumn/winter 2012 collection, and in September he launched an exhibition at Paris Fashion Week to celebrate 40 years in fashion.
The designs of Christian Louboutin have similar origins in art. His shoes have signature red-lacquered soles, and the designer claims the inspiration for the red soles came from Paris’ Musée National des Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie, Paris, where he saw a drawing of a woman’s shoe with a sharp heel slashed out by a red line.

Outfit Post: First Snow

And just like that Winter truly begins! The first snowfall is something I'm really excited about every year, since it transforms the city in a "winter wonderland" (or at the very least successfully covers up the not so aesthetically pleasing things about it): the lights, the decorations, I love it all! What can I say, I'm definitely feeling the holiday spirit.
Luckily for me, I just finished re-organizing my wardrobe in order to be ready for my favorite season, and recently when shopping for a few more items to keep me cozy.
Here's the outfit I just wore today - and no, I wasn't cold wearing the denim jacket if that's what you were wondering!

Morning Meetup | Bucharest's Most Well-Dressed Men

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to meet up with some of some of Bucharest's most stylish men, as SARTO organized a very cool meeting.
The purpose was to promote men's fashion by bringing together some of the more recognizable figures in town, and I was very flattered to be a part of it all.
While it was a really cold morning, it definitely didn't stop some from dressing for the occasion. As for myself, I chose to go with a ZARA coat and bag (oversized bags are my Kryptonite!), Pull and Bear jeans and H&M shoes.
Here are a few stills of me (but mostly my shoes) as well as a video. Enjoy!
