Although it’s not Morodan Day I am wearing a perfect modern-countess dress from Raluca Mihailceanu – you can order it on Molecule F Showroom

Yep, this was one of my “must do’s” last weekend – to dress up decadent like and visit the aristo families from the Bellu Cemetery.
Have you done that? Well, I’m sure most of you who live here already did. If not, do it. The rest of you who happen to come to Bucharest, forget about fancy restaurants or cool cafes, buy a bottle of something and pay a visit to this area of the cemetery – you’ll be amazed! – sure, after that, go and visit the fancy restaurants and cool cafes (sure we love them too, we’re not that hypocrite, right?).
It’s fascinating to see how these people decorated their graves with occult symbols, with things that they loved while they were alive, with anagrams, quotes, secret societies emblems, last wishes and most of all, with the power of their social status. It’s like they wanted to be eternal. And for me, they kinda really are.

Those families, the ones you see on the graves pictured – Cantacuzino, Sturza, Bibescu- Basarab-Brancoveanu, Vernescu, Nicolau and Rosetti – their lives…they could make a hell of a good national Downton Abbey!
