Romantic's inspiration for Valentine's Day

Hi again dears!
As last time I proposed the cynic's guide to Valentine's Day, dedicated to those who feel that Valentines Day is not exactly their thing - but they can find some fun with every occasion, it only seemed fair that this time I should also share some cool visuals for the romantics.
Here it goes:

The inspiration and the voice within

One of the biggest challenges I face when starting something new is finding "my voice". A lot of questions pop in:  how do I tell my stories to those around so that they resonate with me? Who has done this kind of thing before me that I liked quite a lot? How can I improve?


To start with, I think it's important to give credit to those who acted as sources of inspiration. There are some people/places on the web that made me create a better idea of what I wanted to do next, how I wanted it to look and what I could bring to the table as my own in order to be different.
So now, in the Oscars style, I'd like to thank TheyAllHateUs , here's where I first found out about the concept of fashion mood boards, which I found very helpful when sharing my ideas, the  Fabulous Muses Diana Enciu and Alina Tanasa, the so very popular Sartorialist, the guys at GetStoried for helping me "untie my writing tongue", my family, and last but not at all least, the crazy cool people that I have around me every day (it really really sounded like the Oscars right? :P). And for sure some more others. Which will find themselves in future chapters of this story I've started.
Until then my dears, I hope you are enjoying your coffee time wherever you are. Here's some inspiration for the day. Until next time!

Ways to express yourself

This week I've been to a very interesting course for personal development where a group of people are talking with a psychologist on ways to improve oneself to be able to meet your personal goals.
For those of you that know Romanian and are curious to know more on what this is all about, you can go to Steluta Zimbreanu's facebook page: Saraa Education

One of the topics we discussed was about introverts and what steps they could make if they felt it necessary to take a leap to the outgoing persons camp and express themselves more easily. Being a very introverted person myself for most of my life, I know how difficult it is to get out of the comfort zone, try, fail, try again until you find your tune and get started. I for one, think one person should try to keep some things from both worlds: when the introspection, meditation and reading as a way to escape the ordinary meets the outgoing attitude, daring and curiosity - well it makes for a very nice balance. For me, it's something worth fighting for and keeping it there.
On this theme, if your time allows, here is a very interesting TED talk on how important it is to develop and keep some of the qualities that are most popular among the introverts: Susan Cain's The power of introverts

For me, one of the favorite ways of expression are clothes. Clothes that say something about me to the outer world and send a message. Below are a few funny options that might put a smile on your face. Here we go:
