Hello Darlings,

Today, was yet another dinner party at a restaurant followed by Romeo and Juliet Ballet. The performance is incredible: very visual and emotionally packed. I am still overwhelmed as to how wonderful it was :)

As for my outfit, well I went for a simple look with a touch of sparkle. I wore a Maggie Ward dress, that goes with everything and anything, together with my Ruthie Davis Mary Jane's.

As for the details of my outfit: I wore my Ruthie Davis shoes that always make me feel like a princess and to match the patent leather of the shoe, I wore patent leather Coach wristlet. I really love how the Swarovski crystals on the heels complement the sparkle of the dress. I kept everything else, including hair and make up, simple with beautiful details :)

Tomorrows plan is to spend sometime in Art Gallery of Ontario for my art critique assignment...I am really excited to go, because the gallery was just re-do my Frank Gehry- so I can't wait to see that he did with it. I will try to take some pictures .

I wish you all a lovely and fun weekend :)

With Love... Marta

For a long time, I've adored Revolve Clothing especially for their variety. Well, that love affair ended this month. Their slow shipping has always bothered me, but this month things got so much worse as every order was screwed up.

I thought to share my experience since I have recommended this site, but I don't anymore. That's right, I am "breaking up" with Revolve Clothing.

Exhibit One

I ordered Dittos Skinny Suzie jeans. They arrived today - 3 weeks later - and what a nightmare! I ordered size 24, but the jeans are way too big. Their size chart stated the waist is 24" but they are at least 27". So I contacted customer service to pay for my return because they provided inaccurate sizing details... and Revolve said the size chart is only a reference... and won't refund my return fee. IMO, if you order online - the size chart is like a Bible, you base your decision on it. Revolve Clothing thinks otherwise....

Exhibit Two

I found and love this pair (perfect for summer) plus they were 50% off.. After three days waiting for them to be shipped, Revolve e-mailed stating they can't find them.... They found them a WEEK LATER. And now, it's been a week since they shipped out and still no shoes...

Exhibit Three

I've been obsessed with these adorable Bloch flats and decided to buy them but guess what - REVOLVE CAN'T FIND THEM EITHER.... If I knew this would happen, I would have ordered from Net-a-Porter or Brantano. What happened to Revolve? Instead of doing their best to stay on top during the recession, they do the opposite. ADVICE TO REVOLVE EXECS: Hire new staff who know the meaning of polite, and get organized. I don't care that you're re-organizing your warehouse ... yup, that 's the excuse they gave me!

How would you handle this situation?

Where to shop on line? What are your favorite sites?

Hello Darlings,

Well, I went through every spring fashion show on style.com and chose some of my favorite trends and looks - from pants, to skirt, to dresses, to top, shoes, and accessories - from which I will definitely draw my inspiration. Subtlety was a signature look this season, with styles that showcased beautiful hues, colors, and patterns.

Nudes

Whites

White has always been a summer color, since it is light and breezy.

Just be sure to have a Tide Pen to avoid embarrassing situations.

Neutrals

Well, we all love neutrals, because they are just perfect, well at least to me :)

Pastels

Simply beautiful... I love pastel colors, they are so girly and feminine.

Blues

Blue, although not my favorite color, it is all over the runways in different shades.

Metallics

Perfect for going out....

Sherbets Perfect summer colors... bright and loud. ( I am so obsessed with that highlighter pink Berardi dress)

Stripes

I am not sure when they are not in style...

but I am sure loving a fact that they are so in this season.

Prints

Artsy, geometrical,floral...in beautiful bright colors.

I am so in love with Cavalli floral china-like print - so unique.

Sheers

Although, not a color... sheer is in, mostly in subtle neutral colors. It is definitely one of those trends that are difficult to pull off and is usually done wrong, but when it is done in a proper way then it looks absolutely amazing.

Hello Darlings,

I've been bombarded with essays (and it is just starting)... many of which require a visit or two to the Art Gallery of Ontario (which was recently remodeled by Frank Gehry - so exciting). I am definitely looking forward to aimlessly staring at the work of art for an hour, strictly instructed by my profs. Why an hour? I am not sure... but I will definitely update you on my experience, lol.

As for my outfit, since I spent most of today in the library or having coffee - dessert breaks, I went for simple and comfortable. I might give up certain things (dresses and skirts) for comfort but not heels. I refuse to give them up just because it is a bit icy outside. BUT like any good sport, hobby, or talent it takes patience and practice to learn how to balance on ice in heels, lol. Don't practice in public though... lol

Why am I talking about shoes, when this post is about my obsession with stripes....

P.S. Although I get low lights every few months to add shine and dimension to my natural hair color...

I was thinking of getting a bit of highlights, maybe honey brow?
