Hello Darlings,

I am most comfortable in neutrals or pastels. I usually avoid bright or loud colors except in summer. This may just be a phase, since I do change my mind often, but never when it comes to colors my preferences are black, grey, white and beige.

Color is not the only way to make an outfit exciting. Colorful accessories can make a dull outfit come alive, as can playing with textures and materials. To me, nothing in fashion is as important as attention to DETAILS...

Details mean something to me, such as proper fit, stitching, no stains / rips, clean and wrinkle-free (always surprising to see how many people wear ripped or stained white tees).... Paying close attention to tiniest details makes an outfit look organized and neat.

I love wearing bracelets or cuffs over simple cashmere gloves in order to add some interest to a winter outfit. Also, I've always loved matching my gloves to my purse.

I am wearing:

Language Los Angeles Tunic

American Apparel Disco Pants

Soia & Kyo Annisa - Z Wool Coat

Portolano Cashmere Gloves in Eggplant

Accessories & Beyond Elastic Bracelet

Kimberly Baker Dove Necklace

Regina Italia Handmade Italian Leather Bag

Juicy Couture Leather Boots

And thanks for your comments on the T by by Alexander Wang. Although expensive, I am unimpressed with the collection - the dresses remind me of night gowns. I am curious if the quality and fit is what makes them expensive, since the materials are "not my favorite" nor are the cuts original.

 

Tag: I found this photo - it always reminds me of ballet backstage.

It must be the dresses that looks like a tutu

A huge thanks to Anthea from Clothes Line Finds Also, Alissa from mmm, maryjane for featuring me :)  

With Love... Marta

Hello Darlings,

Alexander Wang is known for his casual mix of refined silhouettes and urban chic. His eponymous (big word meaning his company is taken from his own name) line offers a provocative twist on day-to-day garments, where street meets luxury and ones personality shines through style.

T by Alexander Wang offers the same ideals, but is centered around tee shirt dressing and pushing basics to a whole new level. Think stretched out necklines, muscle tees, mini patch pocket detailing, and shades of gray, white, and black with pops of color."

Are you willing to spend $75 - $95 for a tee made of micro modal and rayon?

Are you okay paying more for the brand name - Alexander Wang?

Steal or Splurge?

Today, I ordered Twilight Collector's Edition and a few Agatha Christie books. I've been collecting books for a while and thought that these are a good addition to my collection.

As for my outfit, I am wearing a Spring & Clifton V-neck Long Cardi together with Corpus Alpha in Cracked jeans. The cut is casual, the cotton is super soft, so it is comfortable for reading. But the details are what makes it more than just an everyday throw on shirt, with an interesting collar with a tie, cute pearl buttons at the shoulders, and the sheerness of the stripes.

To bring all the details together, I pull my hair back n a high messy bun with a headband and pearl earrings (to go with pearl buttons) and to make it more winter friendly I added a long cozy cardi with colorful buttons.

I wish you all a lovely Tuesday!!!

Hello Darlings,

Today was full of fun skiing with my dad during the day for some much needed father daughter time, followed by a night out in the city with friends.

I love this flirty new stripey skirt from French Connection. In the winter, wearing flowy or bright skirts seems so wrong, so to me this skirt is season appropriate. What do you think?

I am wearing:

Mexx Shirt

French Connection Skirt

Calvin Klein Opaque Tights

Michael Kors Booties

I also love wearing opaque tights. There is something so classy yet flirty about them if you ask me!
