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?

Hello Darlings,

Living in Canada comes with it's fair share of good and bad. To the good, ski season lasts a long time. To the bad, freezing your tushy in -20 temperatures. But then again there is an upside to extreme cold weather, since it present me with a new fashion challenge... So today's HUNT is finding the perfect extreme cold weather hat!

In my experience, hats come in limited supplies and in pretty boring variations. Eventually I found this Mariouche Hat with recycled fox fur. The hat cost $100, which is more than I wanted to pay, but it's cute and really warm!

My ears are toasty warm and surprisingly it never leaves me with "hat hair" or " flat hair".

CRAZY or NOT! - it was just too cold.

Knit Hats as Seen on the Runway There's always an inspiration....

Twilight Update: I finished the last book of Twilight Saga - Breaking Down - during my trip - I LOVED IT. I really hope Stephanie Meyer decides to publish Midnight Sun - which is Edward's version of Twilight. If you have any info on this book.... please do share.

Hello Darlings,

I leave for a vacation to Mexico tomorrow, and have a day full of girly things. But first, I want to share photos of my outfit today in my American Apparel disco pants....

For my trip, I bought a pair of Michael Kors Patent Leather Oxfords and couldn't wait to wear them with my new American Apparel Disco pants....

I am bringing this outfit to Cancun Mexico to wear to the night clubs. Although it's a little risque, I love experimenting and these pants are definitely out there for me.

I am wearing:

BCBG Max Azria Blazer

Guess Corset

American Apparel Disco Pants

Accessories & Beyond Elastic Bracelet Set in Black & Gold

A.V. Max Gold Studded Cuff

Michael Kors Patent Leather Oxfords

And to inspire my packing, I am taking Victoria Beckham's advice about what to bring. Here's two quotes from " That Extra Half an Inch"....

"Don't bother with flashy designer luggage.There's a good chance it could get stolen as it attracts attention..."

" Always bring a dressy outfit as you just never know where your holiday might take you..."

I try to stick to the formula of bringing something casual ( plain T-shirts, miniskirts), something classic ( nice V-necks, a pencil skirt and a plain dress) and then something a bit more out there for some fun."

I wish you all a lovely day!!!
