Hello Darlings,

Well, it has been an eventful and fun month… I couldn’t have asked for more, expect the black tie event that I attended on Saturday. Which was amazing …

The event is a yearly tradition within the Ukrainian community…it is also our New Years. This year was my third year attending it…. and it was truly an amazing way to finish an amazing holiday season. The event is known as Malanka.


Past Malanka’s
For my first Malanka I wore an amazing BCBG Max Azria dress….( My blonde days)

As for the next year, I decided to wear a short, simple dress from Robert Rodriguez….

This Malanka

The Alexander Wang dress that I bought back in October was specifically for this event…I paired it with my patent leather Ruthie Davis Swarovski encrusted shoes….

…and to bring it all together with an adorable patent leather Coach wristlet courtesy of my parents.


I am wearing:
Alexander Wang Dress
Ruthie Davis Swarovski encrusted patent leather heels
Coach patent leather wristlet
A.V.MAX studded cuff
Diamond stud

I kept the jewelry to a minimum…. only a studded cuff and diamond studs. As for my hair… I got it done in a salon, but I wish I didn’t. Every year, I say the same thing…. but always end up paying $70 to get my hair curled almost in the same way that I always wear it naturally, but this time I added a braid which looked like a headband but it was too small to see ….I was kind of disappointed. As for make up I kept it to a minimal ….. trying to stay away from the usual evening make up that people tend to wear to such events.….

I was going for a young, fresh and fun look….
P.S. More vacation wardrobe photos are coming up… :)

I wish you all a beautiful day!!!

With Love….
Marta

    You two are a gorgeous couple! And I know just how you feel - when it comes to salons. I always end up being disappointed when they style it. They can never quite get the vision you imagined in your head so you work around it. I recently braided my hair - and left the ends curly - and it was too big on the first day. So as usual I slept on it. LITERALLY. The next day, it was less severe, the next day - even better, and now it’s great. I think people should just do their hair on their own sometimes.

    I’m loving that dress and the shoes are awesome!

  14. issa says:

  15. Wanderlusting says:

    I’m not usually a fan of Coach since it seems so tweeny to me but that clutch is sophisticated and punkish. I love it. Love your looks too, but most of all, I want your legs!

    you and your bf are very similar looking - you know that thing they say that when two people are together they actually kinda start to look like one another.

    I also cannot believe how different you look with blonde hair, but you definitely can pull off both looks very well.
