My name is Alexandra. Welcome to my blog.

The stories told on this website are 100% non-fiction. Any resemblance with real characters is not coincidental at all.

The stories are snippets of my day-to-day life, of things that impressed me, things that I want to remember and that I want to share with the world. And if I manage to bring a smile on my reader’s face, well, that’s just the icing on the cake.

On September 20th I got married to a wonderful guy in the beautiful city of Lyon, France. You can see some of the pictures from our beautiful wedding here.

You’ll notice that The Tell-Tale Blog is sprinkled with photos. Photography is a newly discovered passion that sensitizes me to the all beauty around. The camera lens helps me discover the significant details that the naked eye would not have perceived.

I am somewhat of a wanderer in nature – I’ve spent the first 18 years of my life in Romania then I went to Lyon (France) for university. After 4 Lyonnais years I went to the UK for six months and then to Sherbrooke (Canada) before getting my Bachelor degree. Right now I am a spy for the US Government and I work undercover as a PhD student in Montreal. Don’t blow my cover!

I am in a never-ending quest for footwear, hence the “Chic Sundays” category of the blog. This includes posts on style, fashion and design.

That’s it – all the faces of a shoe-loving graduate student!
