Big Love











Wearing:Vintage blouse, vintage skirt bought at an NYC flea market 5 years ago, Aldo shoes, DIY headband made of vintage scarves inspired by the lovely Ioana

This post is inspired by the wonderful hit HBO series BIG LOVE starring Chloe Sevigny and Bill Paxton. An amazingly well written drama about 21st century polygamists living in Utah. I first got hooked on it on my plane ride back from Romania. It was probably the only enjoyable thing from that trip. Once I got home I downloaded all four seasons and went through them like a maniac. They are extremely addictive making you crave more and more till you literally forget you have a life outside of the show. It's probably due to the amazing writers who make the show so captivating from the very beginning. If you haven't seen it or haven't heard of it I strongly recommend you look into it. You wont regret it!It's on the top list of my favorite shows. Now if I can get some patience till the fifth season!

P.S. For the hair style I was inspired by the DIY post on Fashezine that the lovely Ioana posted. I loved her look and asked her for a special post explaining how to do this hairstyle step by step.

...the headband and the way you styled your hair made the outfit (nice touch with the purple flowers-transported me to the hills in Europe somewhere!)

What a fabulous ensemble! The belt is a great idea and I'm loving the blouse. Still need to try Ioana's hairdo.

i LOVE this outfit.
you look like a complete doll.<3

I love that you allways wear pumps. I belive that heels make women more sexy. I also love that you wear dresses and skirts. Yesterday I couldn`t understand why men stare at me, but when I looked around there were no women wearing a dress or a skirt, except me. So I started to count them and the ratio is 9 with trousers : 1 with skirt!!! Pretty sad...

Ioana Liliana said...

Minaaa you did it! Looks great on you, just as I thought it would, looks very professional! Glad you're putting it into practice, of course you where right to ask me to show you how to do it. xx
