Doina Ciobanu

So...here it is: Doina Ciobanu's blog THE GOLDEN DIAMONDS is finally appearing on my blog! This girl has real fashion taste and whatever she wears deserves to be on a red carpet. I think she's amazing and in future she'll probably be whom she wants herself to be, but, honestly, I'd like her to become an editor of a famous magazine or a fashion designer + she's very nice, so she's a good person. She likes traveling, so you can often find photos from different trips on her blog... Enjoy the interview with Doina!

When & why did you decide to create your blog?

I created my blog during summer 2010. I did it, because I just felt that I was over-inspired, and I wanted to share my inspiration and thoughts with the others. 

Favorite time of the day to write posts?

It depends on my mood and my free time, but usually that is evening or night, before I go to sleep.

Do you feel yourself like a blog star?

Nooo, obviously not. I am still developing myself, and even if I reach what I want, I still won't think about myself as a 'star'.

Do your friends blog?

No, they don't.

Tell a little bit about yourself.

Well, my name is Doina Ciobanu, I am from Chisinau, Moldova. i am 16, and I am totally in love with fashion and life. In my plans for the future I have to visit every country in the world, but my dream-city is New York.

What languages do you speak and what would you like to learn?

I speak Russian, Romanian, English, French and now I am learning Spanish. I tried to learn German, but I didn't have time to do that. I would really like to learn Japanese, I love that country!

Traveling. Do you think it's important?

My family and I have always loved traveling. I am lucky, because my parents always want us to visit new places, to explore new populations, to try new dishes, and so on. Now that I am in the Fashion Industry, it has become even more important and interesting. Now a trip isn't only about observing people and events, but also meeting them and taking part.

What's the best place you've ever visited?

Paris, and even if there were some disadvatages, I still love this city because of its variety, it's like a more "historical" New York.

Places you'd like to visit?

New York and Tokyo.

Describe the choice of your style.

 It's not my choice, it's what I feel and what comes from my heart. Whatever I wear, I always try to keep that feminisme in my look. It might be surprising for someone, but I really don't feel comfortable while wearing something too sporty or rock, because that makes me not different from a man, but I am a woman, what I think is a fabulous thing!

Where do you see yourself in future?

My life has changed so much that I don't really know yet, we'll live and see.

Have you ever met any bloggers from other countries? 

Not yet, but I hope that it is going to happen soon.

What are the most important things in your life? 

People I love, my home, my dreams and hopes, and my camera :D

Flats or heels?

Heels! That's my permanent choice. Of course I do wear flats in my country, because our roads aren't too good for heels, but my love to heels can't be described or expressed. Even if I am quite tall, 176cm, I love wearing heels. Those high platforms make me feel more confident and comfortable, and I am not talking about the physique feeling, but about the spiritual one. Heels make you look presentable, chic, slimmer and fabulous!

Favorite color?

Black and gold, but for this season I am going to add some bright colors, too.

Have you ever been to Ukraine?

Yes, of course. I have visited Ukraine a lot of times, especially Odessa and Kiev. By the way, Kiev is one of my favorite cities ever! It's been a while since I haven't been there and I would really like to do that soon.

What blogs do you follow yourself?

I do check the Satorialist, stockholm Streetstyle, The Chicmuse, StyleScrapbook, The Blonde Salad, Fashion Toast and Garance Dore.

Your thought on how did your blog become so popular?

I have been asked this question so many times and I really have no idea! It is still not that popular I would like it to be, but thank you.

Any advice for me in my blog cause I'm new in it?

Do it your own way and take nice photos.

P.S. Doina, you are gorgeous!

Midnight Couture

Today, guys, you'll meet German besties Jana and Vanessa from MIDNIGHT COUTURE. This duo  is really nice and it inspires me with the photos, songs and news that the girls share with everyone. I don't know what should I say... These girls visit ballet class and that is so cool, because they're probably the only girls, who dance ballet from all my acquaintances. I think that you will like them, because they are awesome! These beautiful girls are very talented and wonderful people. Thank you, thank you, thank you once again! Hope you like the interview!

When and why did you decide to create your blog?

When we both met, we soon realized that we have the same hobbies and one of them was fashion. We always loved to talk about this topic and compared our views, so we decided to share our thoughts with others too and created the blog!

What languages do you speak?

Jana: I know German, English and French. And I’d love to learn Italian.

Vanessa: German is my native language and I also speak English and Spanish. I would like to learn Portuguese.

The best place you've ever visited is/are...

Jana: London (Covent Garden), Marakech (Jardin Majorelle de Yves Saintlaurent) and Paris at night.

Vanessa: London (Notting Hill, Covent Garden, Trafalgar square at a warm summer night) and Berlin (the city I feel home).

What city you'd like to visit?

Jana: NEW YORK! And Tokyo some day.

Vanessa: New York, Copenhagen and Florence.

What hobbies do you have?

Jana: Spending time with my friends, boyfriend and family. Dancing. Traveling.

Vanessa: Everything I can identify myself with.

Why ballet?

Jana: Because Ballet is the base or the origin of all dances. All movements look so simple and easy, but in fact it’s all hard work.

Vanessa: Ask my mother why she put me into a ballet class, but I thank her a lot for doing that. It's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

What are you doing right now?

Jana: Lying in my bed with my mobile and answering these questions.

Vanessa: Listening to lounge music and working on the interview questions.

For how long do you know each other?

Seems like eternity!

How's Fashion Week?

It's already over, but it was great. Still, last summer was better. Winter is not really THE perfect season for running around in breezy clothes.

The best post on your blog is...

Perhaps the Easter post when we created those bunny ears like the ones of Louis Vuitton and took pictures outside (completely spontaneously!).

What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

Jana: Fell in love.

Vanessa: Way too embarrassing!

Favorite clothes?

Jana: Dresses, shoes, warm cozy big pullovers

Vanessa: Black well cut blazer, Christian Louboutin pumps, Mulberry Alex bag, YSL ring, black treggings, white shirt. As simple as that.

The best present you've ever received?

Jana: All the jewelry my boyfriend gave to me, my mobile.

Vanessa: My Mom just made me three huge photo albums with ballet pictures. From my first lesson until now - truly amazing!

What are you greatest weaknesses?

Jana: I’m spoiled.

Vanessa: Chocolate!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Jana: Studying in some cool city, hopefully.

Vanessa: Living in a great flat in Berlin and doing something I really want to do.

If I visit Berlin again, what places you'd recommend me to visit?

There is way to much to be seen! Hackescher Markt is a great area, many cool stores. Gendarmenmarkt is such a gorgeous place. Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte! Night clubs like Weekend and in summer Arena (with swimming pool for night swims to cool yourself from dancing all night). For a good and cheap dinner go to Vapiano.

Last items you've added to your wardrobe?

Jana: A grey blazer, a fur vest, silver glitter leggings, long transparent skirt.

Vanessa: Black zipper coat, ACNE-like booties, green silk kimono.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Hang out together, have some coffee at Starbucks, party all night long, go shopping, meet friends, relax, read, listen to our favorite music.

Your thought on how did your blog become popular.

Because we concentrate on pictures that show our special style and looks, we do have texts too, but never too much, so we are providing a good mix of both. But we wouldn't call our blog 'popular'.

Any advice for me in my blog cause I'm new in it?

Always be honest to yourself and keep doing what you want. With passion and love you can reach more and more.
