Shaped by all things beautiful and feminine, Nicoleta Parascan’s first steps towards entering the captivating world of fashion were taken somewhere around the young age of six, when she received her very own first fashion magazine. Discovering an entirely new universe, filled with pretty ladies and beautiful clothes, there was not much able to ever beat or compete with the fantasy land that was suddenly opening up. Surrounded by books, constantly thinking about the next best outfit, in search of a signature style and defined by a nostalgic calling towards the past, Nicoleta believes in taking chances, in destiny and in building her own path in life. When she’s not writing, you can easily find her playing with her cat, reading an old book, watching movies, exploring the city or blogging her own daily adventures.

Prints for men: what to wear in spring 2013

Prints have always been perceived as an extension of one’s personality, as the reflection of a particular mood, as a signature of a well defined aesthetic. At the same time prints represent a much needed break from all the classic shapes and plain, monochromatic fabrics that tend to define a man’s wardrobe. For fashion in spring 2013, prints for men gave way to various interpretations,…
