Hello Darlings,
Winter has arrived…. with a crazy snow storm and freezing temperatures. I was excited to get outside to wear my new Mackage peaches jacket. However, the moment I stepped outside, I changed my mind! Today, I spent my day in Godiva picking up some gifts and indulging in chocolate (what else can make a girl feel better?!), reading Gospel According to Chanel and of course resting after my car accident.
Peekaboo...
I don’t want to be mopey but having a concussion and all sorts of pain sucks, but things could have been much worse and I am glad that they are not! So my advise to those of you who are in a low point in their life (such as my post accident life) is….
…. keep your head up high, and do what you can to make yourself feel fabulous. Forget about the troubles of tomorrow and focus on making today the best that it can be. Hey, life is full of obstacles; just remember you can feel better by looking totally cute while facing them….. the other day I told my mom, “pain I can handle but looking bad I just can’t”. When I look my worst, I feel even worse! If it is just applying some blush and mascara ( that’s what I do). I am not a total optimist, actually quite the opposite…. I am a realist, but at times hope is all that you have! Tomorrow is a new day and of course a new start - so make it a wonderful!
Anyways moving on, I feel like an inspirational speaker (and I can’t stand those)…. so, on to discussing far more important matters such as how much I love my new Mackage peaches jacket and Aldo bow ring 
So warm and fuzzy....the best part, this jacket is light like a feather.
This jacket has changed my entire perspective on parkas. Before I would only wear a parka on ski slopes. But, I am in love with the selection that Mackage offers. Whether it is their Canadian background (and understanding of Canadian brutal winters) or just sheer genius, their jackets are winter fabulous!!! I love this brand! This is my second Mackage jacket and I am not stopping at that, spring jacket is just waiting to be found The quality and the style is impeccable! And as their slogan says it is detailed to perfection!
As for my newly found ring, well… I’ve been dying to get my hands on Noir Bow Ring but the $162 price tag kept pulling me back. Well, that is until I found an identical copy at Aldo Accessories for a tiny fraction of that price! I love love love it!
Well, I am off… My mother is making a yummy dinner so tonight is all about family!
Wishing everyone a beautiful Saturday!!!
With Love…
Marta

Glad to hear you are keeping your spirits up!
*dies* I love Godiva!! And your jacket is a beauty…I especially love the knitted cuffs, the balloon sleeves, the cut, and the fur trimming!! That might mean I like everything about it!
Would you say that jacket is as warm as a down-filled one?
Take care!
Hi Cordelia,
Thank you for the well wishes, it means a lot to me
Personally, I prefer this jacket’s material to the down-filled one, it is much lighter and feels to be just as warm. But I think that it is up to an individual
Thanks for the information, Marta… so sorry, but I didn’t realise you had replied till today! *blush*
I am unsure as to blogging etiquette at the moment… is it ok for me to buy a piece if another blogger has it? And what if I fall in love with several pieces that you/any other bloggers buy? I think I’ve fallen for this jacket, and I’ve spent months thinking it over… I’d love to buy the white one and look like a perfect snow princess.. lol. I was wondering if it’s ok to do so? This sounds silly asking it… but I’d rather be polite than sorry!
Best wishes to you!!
Hi Cordelia,
I think that if you love it then you should go ahead and get it, I am alright with that…as for other bloggers, I can’t speak for them. However, I think that blogs are there for inspiration and it is a cycle, so it is fine to be inspired by others and to be inspiring yourself
Hi Marta,
Thank you for your input and point of view..
I really appreciate your taking the time to reply! If I do buy it and post about it, I’ll be sure to ‘credit’ you and link to your blog. 
Hi Corderlia,
You’re welcome…and that is very sweet of you
ooohhh that ring!!! loves!!!
you look cute in that jacket!

I hate the cold! But you look cozy.
Marta! I am absolutely in love with your mackage jacket and it suits you so perfectly as well. I love the design of the hood! Also, the ring you chose reminds me of the tiffany bow ring that you have been eyeing =)
Keep your spirits up high and enjoy your time with your family!
I am glad you are so positive! I love the Godivia truffles, mmm. Your coat is gorgeous.

You look gorgeous! Considering the weather that we Torontonians have been having, its a great excuse to bring out the puffers. I love Mackage as well, I have one of their spring coats though. I have yet to buy a winter coat from them, but if you say they are excellent for our winters, I will have to go check some out! I love the bow ring btw, its really adorable. I hope you feel better soon.

Gorgeous look, Marta! The jacket, the ring, love love love! {I’m going to go shopping on Monday, and will definitely pick a ring up for myself — too sweet!}
Wishing you a wonderful family night*
mufffin,
feel better. I love that jacket on you.
I’ve decided..that I do require a parka. After 8 years of solely wearing coats… I have realized they are not sufficient to protect me against Canada. But now that I see yours I want a Mackage one… however I am blowing my money on leather boots and bags this holiday season. *sigh* I’m dreading picking up a mainstream artizia one.. but I know those work like magic since I worked there for a while.
Good luck on studying for monday’s exam. Can’t believe the semester has flown by so quickly!

I hope that you’ll be feeling 100% better soon! Being concussed is not fun. I was concussed from a sports injury last year and didn’t even know it until about two days later.
I’d also like to tell you that your jacket is beautiful! I’m also Canadian, so I understand the need for warm jackets.. yet I am yet to learn my lesson. I continue to buy pea coats and light leather jackets for some reason.. and then I shiver like crazy when I go outside!
glad youre doing well! I have been dreading the winter.. and the past few days have been a brutal wake up call! the jacket looks very comfy, warm and stylish!
Ahh I absolutely love your ring! haha our obsession with bows
The other day I saw this girl on the street with your jacket and I immediately thought of your post a while back when you mentioned that your parents bought you this jacket when they visited New York.
Anyway, I hope you feel better and good luck with the rest of your exams!
Love,
Laura
Your lovely bow ring is so gorgeous! I really want a ring like that too!!
I just read about your accident! I hope you’re feeling better now and I think it’s great how you’ve been really positive about your situation & making the best out of everything:)
The parka looks gorgeous on you!!!!
I love bows too.. better said - im crazy about them, so i found 2 Noir Bow rings on ebay (I dont know if you shop on ebay?)… They so lovely!
Thank you so much
Actually, I’ve never shopped on ebay…I am too nervous to start, what if I get addicted?
Loving the jacket and that ring is too pretty!
