Hello Darlings,

It was Sunday afternoon and I was getting ready for the F/W 2011 Preview of Denis Gagnon and Dandi Maestre Jewelry. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Marta Tryshak with Denis Gagnon"][/caption]

As I was standing in front of a mirror completely overwhelmed, and annoyed at my inability to wear patterns, I came to realize that it doesn’t have to be perfect it just needs to work. To me, mixing patterns is as foreign as rocket science; yet, there I was, trying to make sense of it all. Loving this seasons’ trend of mixing bizarre patterns, I was determined to venture outside my comfort zone and do it.

Hello Darlings,

This is my first video for the website, which was made during Rac Boutique presentation of Mulcair. Thanks Anthea of Clothes Line Finds for the video :)

As you can tell, I was very nervous. I am not exactly comfortable in front of the camera but as they say practice makes perfect...

Hello Darlings,

THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!!!!!!!!

Just in time for spring, I am excited to be hosting this giveaway. To celebrate the beauty of spring, one lucky winner will receive this stunning ClaudiaE Silk Chamrmeusse Dress (value over $200). ClaudiaE collections are inspired by costume books and feature a twist of soft fabrics, bright colors and great prints in order to create a perfect piece.

The dress is very versatile and can be worn as a tunic as well.

Hello Darlings,

Every spring, I do spring cleaning on my own exterior - there is no better way to put it. This time of the year I book a facial, change my skin care routine, stock up on SPF 50, purchase lots of bright nail polishes, use my favorite Kerastase hair mask extensively, and of course, go brighter with my hair! This year, I was lucky to be a part of Spa week and invited to receive a treatment at Samsara Day Spa in Forest Hill, Toronto. The treatments were perfect for for my spring “cleaning” :)

Along with shedding layers and saying goodbye to winter clothes, there’s also dull winter skin that every girlie wants to leave behind. Nothing makes me feel worse than flaky skin or dry hair; but with years of trying I have found few remedies that truly work.
