I remember a few seasons ago when because of almost the same blouse I`m wearing today – the black one – the model that Tom Ford made for Adelle – a big trend started. We all loved IA, bought it, wanted to wear it and felt all fancy and proud that it`s our traditional blouse. That was the moment I wanted to slap myself for destroying my mother`s collection (when I was little I made doll clothes from them, idiot, let`s not talk about this)
Shortly, its detractors arrived and all social media started to shout that IA is overrated, supra exposed, passe, that it`s not trendy but trashy and so on.
.
Oh well, like always, I couldn`t care less. For me, there will always be a few items that I will love eternally, no matter what trends, other cynical people or fashion might dictate. For instance:
.
- Long, siren shaped skirts – so versatile and decadent, don`t you agree?
- IA – I was delighted to get acquainted with Iiana.ro – a brand that manually manufactures these traditional blouses in a multitude and various range of models – preserving the Romanian traditions in such a beautiful way and delivering such a special, eternally fashionable and trendy item – so yes, Ia is on my number 3 items to wear forever list – by the way, now I adore Iiana`s long IA dresses
- Head accessories – because they`ll make you unforgettable – because they`ll make you the queen of the night and most of all, because they`ll give you a special seductive confidence
Watermelon could easily be my list of items/fruits to love eternally. And cherries. And honey dew.
And goodbye.

Anaaaaa, mi-ai facut pofta de pepene. Si de ii. Am primit de ziua mea o ie de la Iiana si mi se pare asa frumoasa ca imi e mila sa o port. O port rar, dar si cand iese la plimbare face ravagii ;)).
Mi-a mai picat cu tronc de la Iiana si sumanul asta: http://www.iiana.ro/bundite/suman-romanesc-pardesiu-crem-din-stofa-iiana-de-lana-aba.
Pup
Needless to say you remind me if the great Luisa Casati! Greatness, Ana! Greatness!
Viiiin in tara!! Si musai cumpar o ie!!! Pana una-alta, esti minunata! 😀
The truth is only you can wear an IA like that! And you look AMAZInG!
Dios mio! Dar ce-mi vad ochii! Arati senzational draga mea, mai ales ca sunt o pasionata in ale palariilor…absolut superb! Te pup!
Wow, adevarul e ca si eu ma saturasem de atatea ii, dar chiar arata bine acestea, apreciez atentia la detalii 🙂 nice

Draga Ana,
Daca tot incercam sa conservam traditiile romanesti si in acelasi timp sa fim fashionable, as aduce in discutie un subiect relativ similar. Mai exact, desi imi doresc din tot sufletul sa promovez designeri romani, imi dau seama ca ar trebui sa imi las cel putin jumatate din salariu pentru 1 rochie Elena Perseil sau Mirela Diaconu. Nu mai amintesc de Parlor, Murmur sau Rhea Costa.
Intrebarea este: cand vor face si designerii romani haine affordable si in acelasi timp fashion?
Multumesc!
Alexandra, sa stii ca sunt designeri romani care au si creatii affordable. Inclusiv cei pe care i-ai mentionat aici. Dar after all, ca sa fii stylish nu trebuie neaparat sa te imbraci de la un designer.
Stii, n-am sa inteleg niciodata aceasta frustrare – `nu-mi permit`. Ghici ce? Nici nu e nevoie. Datorita capitalismului, which is a bad thing, don`t get me wrong, avem acces la foarte multe surse de `recuzita` sa-i spunem iar unele variante sunt chiar affordable. Sper exemplu eu sunt su fan mass-market, asa cum se vede si pe blog. So, at the end of the day, cu 100 de euro pot sa-mi alcatuiesc o tinuta la fel de speciala. Fashion is not about labels, fie ele si romanesti 🙂
Te imbratisez cu drag,
Ana
Draga Ana,
Multumesc pentru raspuns.
Desigur “fashion is not about labels”, iar asta o demonstrezi tu pe blog cu atata maiestrie. Eu vorbeam mai degraba despre a descoperi si a sustine pioneri ai modei romanesti. Este vorba despre a oferi acestora o recunoastere nationala, inainte de cea internationala.
Te urmaresc cu drag,
Alexandra
i do not know anybody with the same amount of great sense of humor and sense of style at the same time, you are just great!
ai niste ochi hipnoizanti!love them!
incredibil cata munca e in spatele shootingurilor tare, filmu;letele pe care le postezi sunt si adorabile su revelatoare
your list is my list, my new word of day 😉
adevarul e ca daca stii sa o porti, o ie este intotdeauna misto, nu malas nici eu dusa de nas de trendul pe care nu multi l-au inteles, le ador in continuare ca si tine
stupendous to the sky and back! muah!
