Hello Darlings,
Today was quite beautiful and relaxing.I’ve been spending lots of time with my parents and just trying to take it one day at a time. Thank you so much for the beautiful e-mails and messages, they have truly warmed my heart and placed a smile on my face. I wish I could say that I am fine, but in reality I am quite dazed. However, I am always an optimist. I think that life truly is beautiful and joyful, if you take the time to see it. Therefore, I will be taking the time to focus on myself as this has been a very difficult year.
On a happier note, I am proud to say that today was quite active.
In the morning, my mom and I stopped by a farm to pick up some fresh strawberries and sweet peas. I totally burned my back 
Following out little country adventure,I took the time to get ready and do my hair which made me a feel a whole lot better.
Speaking of hair, I actually henna-ed it few days ago and love the results. Since I am crazy in love with red hair, I decided to try a natural way of dying it by using henna. The process is messy and difficult, but the results are totally worth it. This is my second time and I think that I will definitely be resorting to this method more often.The hair is only this bright in the sun I was actually thinking of doing a post about henna for hair, what do you think?
The other day, I indulged in a little bit of shopping therapy…I took the time to stop by Holts and finally pick up a Chanel’s 505 lacquer.Chanel made this color a part of their permanent collection. YAY! I am crazy about and it took me months to get my hands on. Naturally, I made sure to repaint my nails the moment I got home. I am a huge fan of Chanel’s Spring 2010 beauty collection. In March, I picked up their the eyeshadow quad and fell in love. And now the nail polish is the perfect addiction.I have a feeling that I am going to have a hard time getting over this collection, as it is perfection 
And to farther pamper my hands, I picked up the cutest Marc by Marc Jacobs House of Cards ring set….can’t wait to show it to you! A little shopping therapy and cupcake overindulgence were definitely comforting!
As for the outfit, this is a little something that I wore to go shopping and then for a walk with Johnny (my Cocker Spaniel) and parents. I was not in a particularly dressy mood, so I settled on comfy.
I am wearing: ♥ Marc by Marc Jacobs ” You Set Me on Fire” Top—from Shopbop.com♥ Talula Shorts— from Aritzia, Sherway
♥ Talula Army Jacket— from Aritzia, Sherway
♥ Ash UFO Wedges— from Holt Renfrew Last Call ♥ Coach Swingpack— a gift
♥ Michael Kors Watch—a gift
♥ Chanel Sunglasses—a gift
Well, I am off to relax and read a book….once again, thank you so much for all of the support! I will taking the time this Sunday to respond back to all of the wonderful messages and e-mails
Wishing Everyone a Lovely Friday!!!
With Love…
Marta

I’m glad that you’ve been able to spend time with your family and recuperate even a little bit - it takes a long time, though, as I know well.
p.s. your red hair looks lovely!
The hair looks great! How long will the color last?
your hair is really lovely like that. now i WANT a post on henna (I am jocking but it would be great). I love your wedges they really are beautiful. I live their color!

You look beautiful darling. I use henna on my hair all the time, but because it is very dark, it hardly shows up. This color really suits you! And I love your comfy chic look. I have to say, I was not a fan of the wedges when I first saw them but seeing the way you style them, they look great
and Johnny is a cutie!!
Oh I have that henna dye from lush.. I haven’t tried it yet. I would love if you would do a post on the actual process.
Aww, I hope that great things come your way—you are such a positive person despite all
Love the red hair—I am a redhead too, and laugh when I think of hating it so much as a child,
but now? Adore it! Enjoy this weekend and time with your parents, lovely lady!
xoxo
Hi Marta, Very nice hair color, you look bright and fresh ! Have a nice and relaxing summer !
You are so beautiful !
Gorgeous. I was just about to comment that your hair is looking different! I love the color. And I’m glad your were active today, looks like so much fun! (Though the sunburn- OUCH!)
And I read your last post. I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfather!
I’m really sorry for your loss
I love your shoes. Vaughn Mills, right? Been looking at them every time I go into the store but haven’t tried them on. Think I will now.
Gorgeous hair.
The Little Mermaid in Chanel sunglasses! Lovely…
Thanks Anna
i read your last post and i’m so sorry about your grandfather! you do look fabulous though, and just as optimistic as you say you are. i love the color of your hair!
I am sorry about your grandpa
Faith and trust will get you through this.
I love your hair! I’ve been thinking about henna in that color too! But I’m not sure it’ll look good on my pale skin so I’ll stay blonde for now
I read this post earlier and saw you wearing that Wilfred army jacket, and I thought, “If someone like Marta who is so elegant and feminine can pull that off then maybe I can too”. Got the jacket on sale at Aritzia and I’ve had lots of compliments on it
You provide great inspiration, whether through diverse clothing styles or in coping with loss.
Enjoy Canada Day!
Thank you S, I love that jacket… it is amazing how versatile it is. Glad you’re loving yours as well
I mix henna and indigo to get a delicious dark brown!
