It's easy to promise the impossible!

Dress: Mango / Wedges: Tally Weijl / Blazer: H&M

Trying to recover from the Depeche Mode concert I decided to take a day off from University. I remembered this outfit from a few days back and decided to share it with you guys since this dress is my all time favorite one! Simple but always manages to save me whenever I can't find anything else to wear. The blazer is my newest find from H&M.

Since I spent the whole day at home, what else can one do but watch lots of movies? 

This time I thought it was finally time to watch Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, since I never found the time for it. I liked it a lot and was finally happy to see a real Tim Burton movie, like the ones he used to make! 

All the references to other classical horror movies was overwhelming! 

If you haven't already, this film may actually fill your free time pleasantly. 

Black Celebration!

I still feel my body hurting all over but last night's concert was so worth the physical pain of today! This was the best birthday present I ever received and I need to thank my Japanese teacher along with her sweet sister! As you can well imagine, last night I participated in a 'black celebration' with the amazing Depeche Mode!!!

The opening performance was a band called F.O.X from Essex. I've never heard of them before but their songs seemed quite catchy and the crowd seemed to like them.

At about 9pm Depeche Mode welcomed us to their world and everyone seemed to enter a trance! The stage was breathtaking and the special lightning effects made me stare in awe and wonder if I'm really there in that crowd, a crowd of 50.000 people!

They played new songs like 'Angel', 'Heaven' and 'Soothe my Soul' but the audience screamed for the old ones. 'Enjoy the silence' and 'Personal Jesus' made everyone sing and Dave seemed to enjoy that so much that he gave up singing and let the huge 'choir' do the work. 

Martin L. Gore also enchanted us with his peaceful voice and made my skin crawl more than once. Of course the ladies would go frantic for Dave's dance moves and I must admit that I too admired his energy and good looks even at the age of 51!

They were real professionals and respected their playlist even though the crowd really couldn't got enough!

It was one of the most amazing nights of my life and I would give anything to get the chance to see them again sometime in the future! Concert of the year, no doubt about that!

Beauty And The Beat

I was beginning to get into that whole studying mood yesterday and just when I had decided to actually open a book, my friend Andrada phoned me telling me she had an early birthday present for me… A ticket to Tarja’s concert!! It took me a while to realize what was happening but as soon as I hang up I went into a frenzy, checking the watch every 5 minutes!

As soon as we got there, the place was overwhelmingly crowded with a variety of people I surely did not expected to see. Grandmothers with grandchildren was what I liked most! 

Tarja Turunen and Mike Terrana along with Bucharest’s Symphonic Orchestra made my skin crawl more than once. I cannot put in words the beauty of Tarja’s voice and how well it blended with the sound of violins, cellos and harps. 

At times they made us laugh and at times tears would gather in our eyes. I must admit that it was the second best concert of my life, the first one being Dead Can Dance.

I owe a big thank you to Andrada for giving me the chance to be a witness to this magic!
