Good Morning Darlings,
As for make-up only a touch of mascara and berry lip gloss... I refuse to wear any cover up in crazy hot weather. Eek, I would feel like I am melting away.
Well off I go...
I've got a million things to do, including finding a beginners book to French grammar. Yup, knowing French/German is part of my specialist.
If you guys have any suggestions please drop me a line!!! I will be forever grateful.
Every morning as I get dressed, I reach for things that are more simple and delicate, but with a boyish touch. During the summer months in feels wrong to wear complicated and dramatic clothe; to wear a ton of make up; and to spend hours on hair.
All I want is extreme simplicity...Not only in appearance but also in esthetic of appearance.
I'm continuously inspired by the way men wear their clothe... and their easy and effortless approach to getting dressed. Observing the way Andrew gets dressed made me realize that the less thought you put into clothe, the better... when things come naturally it always looks effortless and great.
Men usually do not obsess about they way they look and usually do not take hours to get ready. But in the end they always end up looking adorable. Just think about the idea behind a man's suit: it is simple, easy, and absolutely perfect. No hassle, no stress, it is a matter of changing shirts and ties... and once in a white a suit :)
This easy approach to life and fashion made me fall in love with menswear...anything with a boyish accent catches my attention.
A combination of masculine and feminine became my latest obsession.
OBSESSING.
As for today's look well, my obsession continues...I paired my distressed Abercrombie&Fitch jeans with a delicate semi-sheer top from Club Monaco and topped it all off with my new Members Only bomber.
Simple, comfortable and most importantly I feel great in in.
I am wearing: Club Monaco Semi-sheer top; A&F Distressed jeans; Members Only Nylon Bomber; Pour La Victoire Wedges.
I wish you all a beautiful Tuesday!!!!
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
The weather has been amazing... and I've been spending most of my time outside. Nothing beats a scenic walk along the shores of Lake Ontario.
As for the rest of the collection, well I tried on a pair of pants and a dress by Vera Cava and although I loved them... I didn't feel like they would suit my personal style.
As for now I am off to pack for the weekend at the cottage... with this weather outside I just can't wait to relax on the beach with great company.
As for today's outfit... well,I've finally had a chance to wear my Alexander Wang for Gap khakis and I love them even more now. They are soooooo comfortable :)
These pants are perfect for the summer time... light, loose, and simple.Overall, a perfect addition to my wardrobe. Although they are shown as being full lenght in the ad as well as on the Gap site, in reality they are cuffed and stitched up (just they way the look on my photos). Gap.com also described them as high-waist.. but they are not, they actually sit pretty low-at least that's the way they fit me.
I am wearing: Alexander Wang for Gap khakis; A&F tank; Talula blazer; Pour la Victorie Wedges; Coach purse.
You guys are definitely going to be seeing these babies a lot... they are the most comfortable pants I own. Plus, they are so easy to wear and to dress up or down.
THE REST OF THE COLLECTION.
What do you think? Am I wrong, do they suit me?
I must admit that the collection is well thought out and the quality is amazing. The pieces are bound to become summer essentials. Absolutely love them! But then again simplicity is what I love. This collection is worth checking out!!!
P.S.The Alexander Wang jackets were also super cute but they did not have my size. As for Albertus Swanepoel hats, well I couldn't find them in the store.
I wish you all a lovely and sunny weekend!!!!
With Love...
Marta
Hello Darlings,
Today was a shopping day with my mother to check out Gap's Designer Editions. I bought a pair of Alexander Wang khakis and they are perfection...

JIMMY CHOO FOR H&M( November 14)
"We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too," founder and president of Jimmy Choo,Tamara Mellon said today. "Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!"
Not content with creating covetable accessories, Jimmy Choo will also design a range of clothing for the high street giant, which, in a change to most collections, will be created to complement the accessories rather than the other way around.
The collection, which will comprise shoes, bags and accessories for mens and women, will arrive in selected H&M stores on November 14.
I wish you all a lovely day!!!
With Love...
