Aiurea sang along with 'Grandma’…at B’est Fest 2008

Yes, it's a fact: ‘Aiurea’ moved in open air for the summertime, firstly at Verona Street, then at the Drum’n’Bass Festival, and last week out with the tent, at B’est Fest. We weren't alone, but with friends from Grandma's Backyard, together with Trinnie who took care everything go smooth and we thank her for that. We sang along three full, hot, but beautiful days.


We are not complaining, as we had the chance to meet lovely people and old friends, to taste freedom and good music, to hear jokes, to drink beer and to have lot of FUN :) The Fest(ival) was not only B'est, but 'aiurit' here and there by the bolt girls who took our shoes out for a walk :)

The tent was full of imagination, clothes, accessories and fancy shoes.

We liked you all, e-vintage, always exquisite clothes and accessories - of course couldn't help not to adopt a few ties :) - Maia is amazing, we thank her for the laughs!. At Noko we discovered some reaaaaly cool t-shirts for men (had to take one :) At Now&Wow we saw a few must-haves purses and some superb dresses made just for these hot days. Cosmina from Fandacsia drove mad the whole tent with her unique and stylish hair bands (we, the girls from 'aiurea' felt in love incurable with the CD and syringe ones :). Burp let us play with her kiddiez - had lot of fun wearing those funny and original characters. Andreea from Biba came with her wonderful filmstrips and we can't help not to wear them (gotta have Casablanca on your ears). We also enjoyed the mushroom earrings made by Virginia Toma and a pair of spring flowers (to cool ourselves :) made by Oana from Tricksbox. From Coca (Zaboloteanu) we got some good laughs, warmth, delicate irony, a gorgeous pair of shoes with the 30's smell and a passion for the unisex Jazz pair (gotta have them, we promise :)

We sang together with Alanis, we jumped (around) with Cypress, we bounced our heads for Kaiser Chiefs, we madly danced in the tent for Roisin, we screamed at Manics and flew away with Nelly. During all these, we shared flyers, we sold Aiurea shoes, we met new people and we exchanged business cards.“

Yep, Roisin Murphy was in the Grandma's house :))

After too much sun, but as much oxygen from the bar near to our tent, water and inevitably ice cream, we packed our things and went home on Sunday night - tired, happy, drowsy but delighted that our 'aiurea' world was likable.

B'est Fest... we liked you too! :))


Here is a live journal from B'est Fest, written by our friend Roxana, from Tabu.

! all edited photos from the event will be posted in a couple of days on Flickr - we'll leave a link here

Fly errrrrrr :)

Finally, we have some free minutes for the make up :)) Sooo, we embarked ourselves into the shark-shoe, we prepared for the next trip and we left an invitation for you to join us. The rest... will have been told at the destination!


As usually, we are not alone in this memorable trip. My Grandma's Backyard is making the ride much smoother and joyful. Just happy to be a part of this huge project and we really hope to meet your expectations.

Check out My Grandma's Backyard metaphorical banner. Meaningful, mysterious and complete. Just perfect.

MGB went out for a walk... :D

Yep, we've been there, done that... :) And let us tell you it was fun, fun, fun. We were a bunch of girls who stood up together no matter what. It was raining, but the laughs were stronger. It was no music, but we were dancing. It all happened there on the streets, where it was our home for two days.


Yes, its a fact: love for the Shoe has no age :)

Ummagumma - fandoseli si aiureli :)

Well... 'aiurea' steps right in the center of 'fandoselicultura' :)

122, Calea Victoriei is where you find, in a Bohemian alleyway, the fancy boutique Ummagumma – a daring concept, which invites you to stand out the standard norms of mass products. Discreet but chic, the boutique brings a different vision to the urban fashion. From the interior design to the exposed collections, you will find here the imperious inspiration for reinventing and getting rid of the mass production tag.

Just very happy to be a small part of this urban culture. We thank Oana who believed in us for the very first time we've met and we hope to remain to the standards of this funky boutique.

What about You- want to walk together with our stories? Just come to Ummagumma. If you love the Idea illustrated on our shoes, try one and you will be regarded from down to up :)
