Hello Darlings,

This was the last weekend before university starts and my obsessive compulsive shopping continues. I spent the morning shopping online at www.BlueFly.com and the afternoon shopping with my mother.

 

I was determined to find a purse, and my fellow blogger Ashleigh suggested that I check out Marc by Marc Jacobs purses at Holt's (similar to Barney's and Saks). I was on a mission to find a leather purse to use daily for university and to carry my laptop. Although, I really did like the look M. J's purses, they weigh a ton. So in misery and disappointment I left empty handed...

 

That is until I decided to stop at Gap and there it was! Weird, I would never have thought to find a purse in Gap but it was very light and spacious and quality is great. I also bought skin care stuff from Sephora, a few Gap tees, a scarf from French Connection, and this yellow Ed Hardy Dress.

Here it is: TA - TA

Taking advice from a fellow blogger, the lovely Couture Carrie I bought a pair of black J Brand Skinnies. A girl can't have too many pairs of jeans.

And I could not resist buying this simple cashmere dress, and the price made the purchase even sweeter.

The rest of the weekend I spent at the cottage with my " boy- toy" and just literally got home .... So I hope you forgive me for the lack of posts lately! p style="text-align: right;">With Love...

Hello Darlings,

Although my day was mostly spent driving around the city running errands, I did manage to get some cool snapshots of some interesting places in Toronto.

I started my day with a very slloooooowwwww drive from Etobicoke to downtown Toronto on the Gardiner un-expressway (5 minute drive took 35 minutes).

So, I entertained myself by taking pictures of the stunning view of downtown Toronto from the highway. (Please don't try this - and I swear that usually I am a very careful driver :)

After the long drive and finally finding a parking spot, I dropped by my office (well, my professors office). Here's the deal, I have an awesome job as a research assistant to one of my architecture professors.

She is an incredible and inspiring woman, who allows me to work from home and from the office. Wicked, I know? It also means that I have no schedule :) Well, here it is ....

CHECK OUT THE VIEW .... i can never stop staring ( so distracting)

Hello Darlings, AHH, CAN'T STOP MYSELF .................. I am getting worried that I may be a little out of hand with my guilty pleasure - shopping online. At the comfort of my bed with a cup of strong espresso, I love to indulge in a little bit of innocent shopping.... three hours later and my order is in. I try to justify to myself that this is my wardrobe prep for the fall time and that there is no way I would find better deals later on....AND Today, it was all about Bluefly and here are my finds, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK .... and HOW OFTEN DO YOU SHOP ON LINE? ANY FAVORITE SITES? Habitual Pitch Black " Placebo" Skinny Jeans I've been searching for a black pair of skinnies for a while now, until I found these babies and the price was irresistible. Plus, they can be easily dressed up or down :) Hayden Fuchsia Cashmere Scoopneck Sweater You can never go wrong with cashmere and the splash of colour is something I desperately needed. Alisha Levine Coral Silk Raceback Trapeze Tank Perfect for going out and it would look awesome with the black skinnies. A.V. Max Silver Glitter Lucide Stud Cuff

Hello Darlings,

My weekend was filled with great weather, beautiful nature, and bumming around on the beach - doing absolutely nothing. I love going to the cottage, the idea of not worrying about getting ready or doing all of those girly things is AWESOME.

 

My cottage getaway outfit: clothes are from Abercrombie & Fitch, shoes from Coach, and Sunglasses are from Chanel.

   

With Love...

Marta
