Mad Men inspiration



One of my favorite Tv series ever has to be Mad Men. I love the story, the characters, the actors ( who doesn't?) the decor and the fashion. This weekend season 5 premiered in the US and the first two episodes were a big hit. I got to watch them last night and I remembered just how much I like it. If you are a fan you know that the action takes place in the sixties and it portrays the lifestyle of that period very well. But let's see if I can get you in some Mad Men mood...


The ladies of the show looking absolutely gorgeous.



The man of the show, always wearing a suit and mixing business with pleasure.



Betty Draper, the perfect sixties style.



Joan - curves have never looked better. She is so sexy and beautiful.



The perfect housewife in her tennis outfit.



And here she is wearing pearls, cashmere and silk.

Smoking never looked this good...



Don Draper, the star character, cooking breakfast...The cigarette is mandatory.

Something old...




This song, Julio Iglesias - La mer, sets my mood these days. It's from the soundtrack of another movie that I liked, Tinker Soldier Tailor Spy. If you get a chance to see it, don't miss it. It's not one of the movies I would normally watch but it has that something that made me like it. Maybe is that seventies vibe, maybe is London and the Brits, or just the song that I absolutely love...Anyways, oldies but goldies, and in this spirit let me show you a few pictures of some of the Vintage stuff that I saw lately.

 Brooches that could add that something to a every day outfit

Wood jewelry cabinet. I just love those small drawers
A collection of French classic songs that my hubby got for me. 

And something glam to go....Simple and chic.


Have a relaxing and inspirational weekend!

The Descendants

This evening we saw The Descendants, one of this year Oscar nominees for best movie award. I have to say a few words while "the taste" is still fresh. First I will always love George Cloney no matter how old he gets, he is just one of my favorite all time actors. But enough about my subjective actors favorites...the movie is just great. Is the kind of story that gets to you, because it's about family, about life, about what it offers and what we take from it. My favorite scene is the one he says goodbye to her: "Goodbye my love, goodbye my friend. My pain. My Joy. Goodbye. It just sums what it means to love and to forgive. I hope you will watch it and love it! Let me know when you do :)

Do you fondue?

Have you seen the movie Captain America? It's not the best movie in the world, I'd say it's the usual superhero Hollywood movie that you watch when you just want to get cozy on your nice couch. (or at least that's how I watched it). The reason I am mentioning this movie is because it has this funny scene, that revolves around the meaning of fondue. I am not going to get into the details but let's just say that this line "Do you fondue?" stuck with us and especially on Saturday when I did my first fondue at home. I got the fondue set for Christmas and we had our first fondue dinner at home. It was delicious, maybe a bit too much wine in the recipe but all in all it was great. Ah and if you thought that fromage fondue is a French thing, think again, because it is as Swiss as it can be (I made that mistake).






So do you like fondue? Did I get you in the mood for some melted cheese?

7 days

Sa va povestesc despre saptamana mea.  A fost prima saptamana din, sper, cat mai putine, fara Traian. Cu el plecat, aveam impresia ca o sa am atat de mult timp liber incat o sa ma plictisesc.  Nu a fost asa, a fost o saptamana obositor de plina, cu multa treaba la munca, cu seri prelungite peste ora mea de culcare si cu dimineti grele. Dar am supravietuit si desi nu imi place sa fiu singura, recunosc ca ma descurc bine si ca nu am de ce sa ma plang, inca. Ca totul sa fie si mai bine, imi doresc  putin soare si grade cu plus ca sa am si mai multa energie sa ma misc in orasul asta. Dar sa va povestesc momentele faine ale celor 7 zile pe care le lasam in urma. 

O seara intre prieteni care s-a lasat cu cateva reprize de ras, cu mancare buna, dar mai ales cu desertul meu favorit din ultima perioada.  Cand vine vorba de dulciuri, prajituri mai cu seama, am perioade bune in care mananc numai acelasi tip de prajitura dupa care ma satur si trec la alta, si tot asa. Au fost eclerele, tartele cu fructe, tortul de morcovi si acum cupcakes. As putea sa mananc in fiecare zi, dar ma abtin, mai putin cand nu mai pot si atunci dau o fuga pana la Madame Lucie si ca si un drogat imi iau doza J Dar sa revin, joi seara, intre prieteni, fetele au facut cupcakes fara sa stie ca the cupcake junkie o sa fie prin zona. Au iesit minunate, ne-am distrat colorandu-le cu fel de fel de bombonele si le-am facut si poze.

Weekend-ul a fost unul de chill, cu muzica buna, cu un nou serial, Fairly Legal (tot ce e cu avocati merge la mine) si cu putina miscare.  Azi am reusit sa stau 2 ore la sport, bineinteles datorita lui Bibi, care este constiinta mea cand vine vorba de sport. Fara ea nu as face nimic. Recunosc, spre rusinea mea, ca mersul la sala l-am invatat destul de tarziu si ca nu il practic foarte des. Clasa de Pilates m-a surprins placut si la final in minutele de relaxare pot sa jur ca am atipit. A fost un sentiment atat de placut, corpul meu parca si-a reincarcat bateriile pentru saptamana ce urmeaza.

Si ca duminica sa fie perfecta, am prins la tv filmul 500 Days of Summer.  Mi-a dat acea doza de creativitate pe care din cand in cand trebuie sa o luam ca sa nu uitam cat de frumoasa este viata si cat de mult putem simti. Mi-au placut personajele, m-am regasit in poveste, muzica din film a fost exact ce trebuia, pe scurt o poveste simpla spusa frumos. 

Una din melodiile care mi-a ramas in minte



Si bineinteles poze cu cupcakes facute de Cristiana si Emi J

Movie night - Megamind

Aseara am vazut Megamind in 3D. A fost minunat. Iubesc un film de animatie cu dialoguri bune. La animatie imi place sa stiu cine e vocea personajelor. Imi place sa identific personajul cu actorul care ii da voce. Cat de tare este sa ai un personaj principal care stalceste cuvintele!!! Mi s-a parut geniala idea si foarte funny.  




Ps: Pe Minion l-am indragit atat de tare incat l-am luat acasa! ;)
