Hello Darlings,
After my date with books, I had a real date with Andrew. Yup, after two and half years we still go on dates :) Since we are not the couple to stay in, we are always exploring our city and the many cozy restaurants that it has to offer.
I enjoy reading magazines for inspiration, and dress up in new looks.
I bought this dress for New Years in Cancun and love it's form fit and pockets.
I also bought this Ed Hardy scarf. I do love the colors and the light cotton fabrics make it a perfect substitute for those days when it is too hot to wear cashmere. I am also okay with a tattoo effect in moderation, however I really love it on bathing suits, like the one I bought in Cancun Mexico.
I am wearing:
French Connection Cotton Dress
Mackage Leane Leather Jacket
Michael Kors Booties
A.V. Max Cuff
Nighty Night Everyone!!!!
With Love...
Marta
Hello Darlings,
As I was online shopping today... I came to realize that every girl has a little princess inside... but mine is pretty bossy. It is a voice inside my head that wants anything and everything that is cute, pretty and adorable. I can't control it. Pink, ruffles, bows, tutus, ballerinas, hearts, pastel colors - which may explain my obsession with Juicy Couture and if I didn't have any self restraint I think that I would be a real life Elle Woods from Legally Blonde.
Princess Inspiration
When speaking of the princess look, I am not talking about prom dresses that are crazy frilly with a tiara and a magic wand. I am talking about the girly, princessy details...that give a hip, chic, and simple outfit that girly princess touch.
♥ Princess look #1: from her pretty silk heels, to her flowy skirt, to her neat little jacket,down to her petite little frame and cute haircut.
♥Princess look #2: simple and totally princess.... the cute flats, the adorable tutu-like skirt, and of course that awesome pink clutch.
♥ Princess look #3: The adorable details of her outfit just scream I am a princess... her pony tail with an adorable hairpiece, her coat with tiny little buttons, and the precious collar.
♥Princess look #4: She is princess in pink with ruffles.
♥ Princess look #5: Although she has an edgy look, her pleated pretty skirt gives away her inner princess and not to forget her bun/ or pulled back hair.
Princess Wish List.
The inner princess and myself want these.
♥American Apparel Shiny Tank Pencil Dress in Baby Pink/Silver Sparkle
♥ Rayban wayfarers in pink (RB 2143 color 968 3E)
♥Botkier Kika Lrge Satchel in Black
♥Gucci 2929 in white
♥In God We Trust Bow Cuff Bracelet in Black
Today's online rendezvous led to the purchase to these princessy items:
♥Juicy Couture Terry Laptop Sleeve
I couldn't resist. It is very useful and adorable at the same time. ♥ Pretty Ballerinas Rita Flats The color is so unusual and bright - perfect for the summer.I am so excited, can't wait for them to arrive. I really hope that both come before my vacation.
I wish you all a beautiful day!!!
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
I finally had a chance to wear my new Notify jeans and words cannot describe how perfect they are. Seriously, Notify jeans are A-m-a-z-i-n-g !!!
Many of you know how much I love trousers and fell in love with these babies the moment I saw them...
I also broke out of my darker colors to embrace pretty lights :)... I felt so breezy (lol) and to complete the look I added a braid.Seriously, I adore french braids... I've loved them since I was a little kid, can't get enough of them.
Special Note,
I wish you all a stunning weekend :)
I am happy to report that Spring has finally arrived to Toronto - it was +20. YAY!!!
I was so thrilled to have a chance to break out my summer shoes and wardrobe ( luckily, I did my pedi a day before)....Here's what I wore to run a few errands and catch up on some shopping. It is my Easter this weekend and with all the studying, church going,and family... I am a busy bee.
I am wearing: A&F Ava Top; A&F sweater; Notify Jeans; Regina Italia Handmade Leather Purse;Michael Kors Oxfords; A.V.Max Cuff; diamond studs.
Finally, I think that I am a breaking every " fashionista rule" ( lol, i love that "term") by getting so much Abercrombie & Fitch. I just can't help myself, some of their stuff is so cute... I hate everything that the brand stands for, but I do think that some of their stuff is perfect for the summer time. I am not one of those people that will or will not buy something because of the brand or designer... If I love it then I'll buy it.
I would like to send out my sincerest apologies for not replying/responding right away. I am so thankful for your support and would like to send out a huge thank you to every single one of you.
You guys are the greatest !!!
I wish you all a stunning weekend :)
With Love...

Hello Darlings,Well, since many of you already know I am in the midst of my finals and finishing up my research project. Although I should be in a panic mode, thinking how miserable my life is right now and what a hermit I have turned into. Not caring about anything but school and accept that my nails are growing a mile long cuticles, my split ends are driving me nuts, and my face is starting to break out as if I just hit puberty.WELL, NO MORE OF THAT !!!!!!
I am embracing a new approach... and ways to handle exam period.
I am going to continue to make myself feel great... including not postponing my eyebrow appointment for the tenth time and not canceling my hair appointment that is coming up.I am going to do my nail and toes. I am going to be in control of my life and my school overload. I refuse to become one of those student who's miserable.

I AM GOING TO DO IT ALL WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY (the hardest part)!!!
Therefore I decided to make an inspiration post that will inspire me to stay positive, to remember to feel great, and to take a moment to breath.
FEEL Fabulous
I've been spending long hours at the library or at home studying or running errands or going to meetings and doing a million other things. When overwhelmed with so much, the last thing I want is to complicate my life worrying about how I look. During such time, I want to feel fabulous but in a way that is quick and comfortable.
Feel Chic
- Wear things that make me feel comfortable and chic.
- Wear pretty accessories to add a girly touch and make any simple outfit feel more special
- Wear pretty flats for comfort, but sometimes resort to heels for a touch of fierceness :P
Feel Pretty
- I don't want to wear too much make up. I hate feeling like I am melting away, therefore hate wearing too much make up.
- Just a touch of pretty pink lip gloss/lipstick, mascara, blush and a bit of translucent powder (to control the shine and have matte look), and of course well done eye brown ( 've been getting my threaded for years, painful but the results are amazing).
Feel Neat
- Simple natural hair or put it up in a neat pony or a loose bun. Always neat.
- Pretty nails always make me feel neat.
Venus di Violet;Done Out in Deco; Holy Pink Pagoda!
Positive ATTITUDE
- Take time off.
- go quickie shopping.
- spend time with the loved ones and friends.
- Indulge
- take a quick break and have an espresso and a cupcake!
- relax in a bubble bath!
- relax in a bubble bath!
- Look Forward
- to the summer
- to my vacation
- Remember
- to sleep
- STAY POSITIVE and ORGANIZED!!!
With Love...
