Moschino Gloves

On September 24, 2008 · 35 Comments
Hello Darlings,

In the decade of the 1950's, fashion was characterized as prim and proper. Women embraced gloves as part of their wardrobe, along with the pump, structured handbags, and hats. Check out these Moschino gloves from my fashion Godmother.

 

Today, gloves are considered by most as just a winter necessity only in the winter, to prevent freezing hands rather than making a fashion statement. Well, that is NOT the case for me .....

I LOVE GLOVES

Not because my mother said that every lady needs a pair, but because I love how stylish the look. Like most of the " can't live without" accessories ( shoes, bags, belts), gloves can change the feel of the entire outfit. Nothing says classic elegance and chic like wearing a pair of beautiful gloves. Here's a little guide that I find very useful :)

Preppy School-Girl Look

I quit my first "real" job after just two months, frightened with how the Abercrombie & Fitch clones would stare and scare me, lol. But the upside of the experience is that I bought some great clothes cheap, such as this white shirt.

This is the preppy school girl look that I wore to class yesterday. With my Abercrombie & Fitch Shirt, Talula Wool Blazer, and Corpus Altha Jeans in Cracked.

I am wearing: Abercrombie & Fitch Shirt - $89.56 Talula Wool Blazer - $148 Corpus Altha in Cracked - $230 Coach Lather Swingbag - a gift from Andrew Minnetonka's - $44
Wish you all an awesome day :)
With Love .... Marta

Project Self and TNA Wool Sweater

Hello Darlings,

One of my fav bloggers Ashleigh from Rantings of a Fashion Addict tagged me for Project Self. She has a killer sense of style, and her ability to pair designer vintage/thrift items is a quality I am jealous of. Also she's never afraid to take a chance when it comes to fashion so I check often for inspiration from this " fashion addict".... :)

Three Dislikes

Being a perfectionist .... well, that's self-explanatory. Being a complete control freak ... I plan everything Always being late... I am always last-minute
I love this handmade brooch by Daniel Pollak, that was given to me as a gift.
 

Five Dislikes that I have Embraced

My weight ....

I am naturally really skinny and was called names in elementary school...

Now, I weigh 98 pounds and love that I can pig out every day :P

I have really bad vision ( -5.75) ...

I only wear contacts and plan on getting a surgery ( but too scared for now).

I am picky ...

I just can't help it, but leaned to control it.

My Wavy hair ...

I have wavy hair, but my perfect hairdresser fixed the problem.

My Appearance ....

I used to be self-conscious but now I love myself for who I am :)

   

 

On another note, I have about six winter jackets but still bought this one by Soia &Kyo... Their jackets are reasonably priced, good quality, and really cute. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Soia&Kyo Annisa Z Short Wool Coat with Belt in Black - $330I am so excited for it to arrive :)
Another one of my biggest obsessions is graphic tees, especially by Trash & Luxury and Le Magnifique... however, what I was wondering is .... Would you spend $ 70 - 120 for tee? I find it a bit ridiculous how much, they cost but they are sooooo AWESOME, I can't resist...

Trash & Luxury " Vanity is Fair" Dolmal Sleeve Tee - $67

By the way, I am also looking for leather boots, under $500 ....

IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION PLEASE LET ME KNOW

With Love...
