EN: A new blog post from the Fashion& Films series, which means another recommended movie, but also an outfit inspired by it.

Va marturisesc cat se poate de sincer ca incepusem sa ma plictisesc sa fac shooting-uri de stil personal. Dar de cand asociez tinutele cu anumite filme, tot procesul mi se pare mai interesant. De data aceasta, costumul bej ma duce cu gandul catre un film comercial, dar amuzant la vremea lui: Ocean’s Eleven.
EN: I must confess that I was beginning to get bored of personal styling photo shootings. But ever since I started associating the outfits with certain films, the entire process seems more appealing. This time, the beige suit makes me think of a commercial movie, but funny in its time: Ocean’s Eleven.
Am facut urmatorul experiment: am incercat sa obtin acea fotografie clasica de Instagram, pe care utilizatorii sunt obisnuiti sa o intalneasca si care genereaza multe like-uri, iar apoi inca o fotografie in acelasi loc, doar ca necosmetizata. Concluziile le vom trage impreuna, dupa ce veti citi si povestea din spatele acestui experiment…
Joi seara am reinceput antrenamentul Picioare de Podium, initiat de Philips Lumea. Ieri m-am trezit cu o usoara febra musculara. Azi, in schimb, coborarea din pat a fost si mai grea. Maine va zic daca trendul e ascendent si daca joi voi mai putea sa mai vreo fandare ori ba. Hai ca am multe sa va povestesc…
Stiti scuza cu “nu am timp sa gatesc”? Si eu o folosesc, deseori. Dar adevarul e ca poti sa inveti cateva retete super rapide, care sa fie sanatoase si care sa iti creasca si increderea de sine – ca deh, e o mancare facuta de tine, cu manutele tale, pentru prietenii si familia ta! Asta e una dintre retetele de acest gen: penne cu broccoli, fasole verde si crema de branza. Noi facem deseori paste pentru Vlad. Sper doar ca treptat sa il conving sa adauge cat mai multe legume alaturi de ele.
EN: You know the excuse of “I don’t have time to cook”? I use it often myself. But the truth is you can learn a few super quick recipes, which are also healthy and which boost your self-esteem- because, after all, it’s a meal you cooked yourself, with your own hands, for your friends and family! This is one of those recipes: penne with broccoli, green beans and cream cheese. We cook pasta for Vlad very often. I only hope that, in time, I will be able to convince him to add as many vegetables as possible.
Intotdeauna mi-a placut sa ma uit la filme. Ar fi de-a dreptul ciudat sa nu-mi placa avand in vedere meseria aleasa. La fel si in cazul lui Radu. Asadar, urmarim impreuna seriale si filme de scurt si lung-metraj, incepand cu cele nominalizate si premiate la festivalurile de film din lume si pana la … animatii. Plus, fireste, multe filme romanesti. In ultima vreme insa, iar aici zic de cativa ani, serialele au devenit din ce in ce mai bune si au “furat” (si continua cu ambitie sa o faca) putin din aura pe care doar filmele o avea mai demult. Adica acum 10 ani nu era niciun serial (care sa nu fie o comedie) care sa aduca laolalta povesti senzationale sau actori care pana atunci jucau exclusiv in filme de lung metraj. Insa calitatea productiilor a crescut fantastic, iar acum serialele “se bat” cu filmele cot la cot.
EN: I always loved watching movies. It would be completely weird if I wouldn’t enjoy it, considering my profession. It’s the same for Radu. So, we watch series and motion pictures or short movies together, beginning with the most nominated and awarded ones at world wide film festivals and ending with… animations. And of course, many Romanian films. But lately, and I mean for the past few years, series have gotten better and better and have “stolen” (and continue to do so with ambition) a part of the aura that only films used to have in the past. 10 years there wasn’t any movie (except comedies) which would bring together sensational stories or actors who up until then only used to star in motion pictures. But the quality of the productions has increased significantly, and now TV series are running against movies and it’s a close tie.
Sunt cateva filme care continua sa isi faca loc printre gandurile mele, asa, din senin, parca fara niciun motiv anume, desi poate ca le-am vazut cu ani in urma. Sunt filme cu care pur si simplu m-am obisnuit sa traiesc, la fel cum traiesti zi de zi cu amintirile din copilarie, chiar daca acum ai la randul tau copil. Unul dintre acestea este “A Woman Under the Influence”(1974) al lui John Cassavetes. Acum, in timp ce scriu despre el, parca mi se pune un nod in gat. Si ma gandesc la mama mea.
EN: There are a few films which continue to haunt me every now and then, out of the blue, for no reason whatsoever, even if I have watched it a couple of years ago. They are films I have gotten used to living with, just as you live every day with childhood memories, even if you have your own child now. One of these is “A Woman Under The Influence” (1974) by John Cassavetes. Now, as I am writing about it, I feel a tear coming up. And I think of my mother.
