Xmas Shopping | OOTD VLOG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV129U2gZWk&feature=youtu.be

It’s that time of the year again. 

Not the time everyone’s looking forward to for months (XMAS), but the time BEFORE that.

IT’S CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TIME.

I’m definitely one of those people who make an actual list with the people & the gift ideas of what I wanna get for each one of them. If you loved the holidays just as much as me, then you would understand that hardcore preparation and list making for Xmas is VITAL for my happiness this time of the year. My true, cheeseball self really comes out during winter. I just love buying lots of awesome things for those I love, because I know how much they really deserve it. Although I try to get the best gifts for everyone, I always wish I could get them more and more and more. And I know a lot of people who can relate to this. You just wanna give the whole world to those you love. 

Thankfully, a couple of days ago I was finally able to start my Xmas shopping this year.  Since finding a comfortable, not too cold & not too hot (cause cold weather outside & hot as balls inside the mall), and slightly stylish outfit can be a challenge for everyone, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to share an OOTD. I went shopping with my dad, and before we got to selling our souls in exchange for Xmas gifts, I ever so kindly asked him to snap some pics and vids for me. 

Originally I was just gonna post some photos on my blog, but since I’m a bit YouTube crazed lately, I also decided to make a video to show the clothes even better. All the pics are below, and here is the link to the video I put on my YouTube channel (Mayra Popa) which includes deets about the clothes:

My Top 5 Fave Jackets | F/W Lookbook for YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSd86wPMSgI&feature=youtu.be

I’m back at it with another YouTube video, this time it’s a F/W Lookbook that’s focused on My Top 5 Fave Jackets. I had the same outfit on (turtleneck – H&M, jeans – Zara, Booties – local Romanian store in Bucharest), I just switched between the jackets so that they could really stand out and not be overshadowed by wearing different things underneath. 

Although outerwear is my fave section in my entire closet and I have moooore jackets than I’ll ever need, I’m still buying more and more. Obsession is an understatement. But at least I’m keeping warm this holiday season. Check out this video if you wanna see which ones made the cut, or just peep at the pics below. Either way, hope you like ‘em! 🙂 

Jacket #1 – Thrifted

Jacket #2 – Urban Outfitters

Jacket #4 – Bershka

Last Weekend in NYC | Vlog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UinUMUjWpJ0

Four days before leaving NYC, I was finally able to purchase a new camera. I’ve been wanting one for so long, and I did a lot of research on which one to buy. In the end, I realized that the SONY Alpha A5100 was the best fit for my needs & I’m so happy with my decision. Once I brought it back home and charged it, I went around the city and started filming. Sadly, I wasn’t able to get that much footage before I had to leave. I was very busy packing and trying to enjoy those last moments with my friends. But in my opinion, I think there was just enough to put together a little travel vlog to share with everyone my last taste of NYC.

What you can expect in the video: me walking around the city, my roommates & I getting ready to go out & pre-drinking, all of us out at night feat. Empire State building & the Flatiron building, me visiting the MET, Tania & I grabbing some Shake Shack, my last stroll in the city at night, and some footage from the airport/plane.

I’ve also posted some pictures I took along with the videos, below.

Here is the final result & enjoy! 🙂
