Hello Darlings,
jack and jill

When the temperature drops below -20 it is nearly impossible to feel feminine in your outfit. All you think about is how frumpy, bulky, and freezing you are...

Malanka in Toronto

On January 12, 2009 · 26 Comments
Hello Darlings,

It has been an eventful and fun month. I just returned from an awesome vacation in Cancun Mexico, and Saturday night was the Malanka - a yearly tradition within the Ukrainian community to celebrate our New Years.

This year was my third year attending Malanka in Toronto. It was a black tie event

Past Malanka's To my first Malanka I wore this BCBG Max Azria dress.... my blonde days!   The following year, I wore this short, simple dress from Robert Rodriguez.
This Malanka...

I bought this Alexander Wang dress in October specifically for Malanka. I paired it with my patent leather Ruthie Davis Mary Jane's with Swarovski encrusted crystal shoes....

...and to bring it all together with an adorable patent leather Coach wristlet.

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

I had my hair 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 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 going for a young, fresh and fun look....

I wish you all a beautiful day!!!

With Love.... Marta

From Mexico with Love….part one!!!

Hello Darlings,

I am back ... and wish I wasn't!!!! I LOVE MEXICO!!! It was an unforgettable vacation that was filled with tons of fun, drunken moments , sunny days, and awesome adventures.

Cancun was an ideal vacation destination, with incredible night life and amazing adventure. Grand Oasis is a beautiful 5 star resort, and is definitely the heart of the party!!!

My vacation wardrobe was simple and casual. It mainly consisted of bikinis, summery dresses, my new Miss Trish of Capri Sandals ( i lived in them), high heels, flats, jeans, and tees.

Blast off: Traveling from Canada to Mexico can be a bit difficult, since we left during a crazy snow storm so it was annoying to carry heavy winter clothes when I arrived in hot Mexico.

 

I am wearing:

M. Rena Wool Sweater

Gap Long Sveele Cotton Shirt

Corpus Skinnies in Ash

Juicy Couture Flats - so comfy

Gap Leather Purse

Coach Swingback

I wore fluffy flats and my favorite M. Rena sweater. My carry on luggage consisted of two purses, my favorite large leather hobo and a Coach swingpack. And of course, no make up - it is just really bad for your skin on the flight.NEW YEARS All I can say is nothing can compare to ringing in the new year in Cancun.... Simply WOW!!!   NEW YEARS IN CANCUN MEXICO: Nothing compares to ringing in the new year in Cancun....

New Years eve is always a big deal to me and having an opportunity to celebrate it in Cancun meant that I had to find a perfect dress. I wore a simple yet comfortable breeze dress from French Connection. It was an an unforgettable night in Cancun city.

I am wearing:

French Connection Dress with pockets

Michael Kors Heels

To kick-off our New Years eve, we had an amazing dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse, and then went to The City night club with Sandra Collins DJ'ing. To cap off our night there was a party by a swimming pool in our resort.

The New Years celebration lasted into the wee hours of the morning.... :)

COBA - Mayan Ruins and Pyramids

When Andrew and I were deciding on our vacation destination earlier this year, we knew that we wanted to have a cultural experience as well as a party atmosphere, therefore Mexico seemed like an ideal choice. For me, as an architectural freak seeing the ruins was probably the most exciting part of the trip ( I am a geek, I know,lol)... and although, I wish I could have seen as three sites close to Cancun (Chichen Itza, Tulum, and Coba) .... I settled for Coba.

I am wearing: French Connection Cotton Tee Dress Miss Trish of Capri Sandals Ray Ban Wayfarers Coba is a large ruined city of the Pre-Colonial Mayan civilization and is also a location of the newly discovered Mayan ruins and pyramids. The site was opened to the public in 1972 and only 8 % of an estimate of 6,000 structures are restored.The main pyramid, Nohoch Mul is 42 meters tall ( 138 feet) and is the highest in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Our day was filled with adventure in a Mayan village located in the jungle, where we had a Mayan ceremony with a shaman, ate Mayan food with the locals, wandered around a jungle,Zip-lined across the lake, went swimming in a meteorite crater( Cenote), as well as water canoeing through a lagoon.

The day was definately filled with adventure and excitement that is truly unforgettable.The other half of the pictures are coming up soon :)

To a certain degree I am glad to be back... but still adjusting to the brutal cold weather. Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it on the 7th!!!!!
With Love.... Marta

Swarovski Heart Pendant

Hello Darlings,

Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend, I had the best time tonight. He surprised me with a Swarovski heart pendant and a candle lit dinner at a Moroccan restaurant.

Our night of romance came with a twist, as there was a belly dancer performing at the Moroccan restaurant. Seriously, I want to learn how to belly dance. The dancer was incredible doing all that sexy stuff with her body.

My boyfriend Andrew also treated me yesterday to this Wilfred dress, which I wore last night together with Calvin Klein opaque tights.
