Silk Polka Dots…

On July 10, 2009 · 22 Comments
Hello Darlings,

Polka dots were seen all over Marni, Michael Kors and House of Holland Spring 09 runways, which inspired me to take a chance and try the whimsical 50's retro look wearing my own silk polka dots, the trick is to wear pattern proportional to my body.

I was never the girl to like polka dots, until recently. I've had this beautiful Guess chiffon polka dot top for few years now, but never really liked to wear it. But this summer something in me embraced polka dots and decided to give it a try; first pairing it with slouchy Wang khakis and today with a simple pair of skinnies and a bomber.

I love how it is formfitting the cute ruffles that remind me of my old ballet tutu's. It is so perfectly girly and elegant that it went from being an outcast to a favorite. I also think that this top makes any outfit date perfect... which is exactly where I wore it yesterday evening... for a date with Andrew :)

I am wearing:
Guess Chiffon Top
J Brand Skinnies
Gustto Cokera Purse
Pearl Earrings (gift from parents)

On a side note, I want to share some of my new purchases. Revolve Clothing is having the BEST SALE EVER, so I bought these babies, since I've wanted them for a while now but could not justify their full price... but since they went on sale,there was no reason not to buy them. Plus ,if you use the code TULIP you get another 15% off :) *both regular and sale prices*

Honestly, I am convinced that no other online store has better sales than Revolve Clothing and Forward by Revolve Clothing :) If it was not for them, I would not never be able to afford the things that I have...for that I must say thank you.
P.S. I would like to thank all of you for your sweet comments on my Elle Canada pages. If you haven't had a chance to check them out ... just click here...here and here. Thanks a million!!! If I actually win this contest I will definitely have a little surprise for you darlings as a thank you :)
I wish you all a lovely weekend!!!

Pretty Ballerina Flats

On July 7, 2009 · 21 Comments
Hello Darlings,

It's a very hot day in Toronto, and I have a busy day ahead with a mixed agenda including a morning appointment at the hairdresser's, an afternoon at the art gallery and professor's office, and then dinner and drinks at the chic Yorkville neighborhood. It makes no sense coming home to change between appointments, so choosing a fitting wardrobe for all this is a dilemma.

I am wearing:

Armani Exchange Silk Blouse

Donna Karan Silk Cami

Talula Shorts

Pretty Ballerina Flats

Juicy Couture Laptop Bag

Diamond Ring courtesy Ice.com Jewelers

What I came up with was comfortable, simple and hopefully cute. A pair of Talula shorts that are comfortable to wear but do not look sloppy, Pretty Ballerina flats for all of the running around and to add a pop of color, and a silk blouse from Armani Exchange to make it more chic and pulled together. And as a final touch, my trusty Juicy Couture laptop bag for computer and all the papers needed today.

This is my so called work station.:P I started to make a re-do, finished the painting, got my bathroom re-done and the walk it closet. But I have NOOO idea what to do with my work station - so frustrating.

Anyways, I'm off to do some research... I responsible for an upcoming exhibit catalog, which is a lot of work but interesting.

Please check out my Elle Canada contest page here and here. Kisses for your support!
I wish you all a lovely day!!!
With Love... Marta

Amazing footwear and purses. I just picked up this pair. Can't wait to see them!
Be&D Antonia Pump ♥ Maybelline Pulse Perfection
I was given a chance to try out this mascara as well as to give it out to my friends before it is released. Well, my friends and I agree that the look is subtle and natural. It's like having perfect natural lashes, but the secret is in the mascara. The mascara is ideal for everyday use to create a beautiful natural look, as well as for a night out by adding a second coat. At first the pulse is a bit difficult to get used to, but once you do the results are pretty amazing. Give it a try!!!
