Ace it…

Hello Darlings,

First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU for your warm messages, it really touched me and placed a smile on my face Thank you for being so sweet! You are the greatest!

I got art-y with Microsoft Paint... P.S. The box is filled with cupcakes.

Well, I am still in pain but refuse to feel down!Actually, I am in more pain now then I was after the accident. BUT there are always going to be hard times however life goes on and you must too!!! Although I have exams in a week and a million doctors to see, I am very excited for this holiday season. Yesterday, my mommy took me on a little shopping spree to raise my spirits! Although we spent only an hour or so, it was exactly what I needed...followed by a coffee run with Andrew.

I am so thankful to have such a supportive family, boyfriend, best-ie and of course, you guys!

Anyways, moving on.....no more mopping around.

Leafs Nation…

Hello Darlings,

I just came in from NHL hockey game, Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning...which is of course, a ton of fun every time I go. Lose or Win, a good doze of Canadian beer and a great company makes for a hell of an awesome game

: No hockey game goes by without a pint of Canadian beer... It's a tradition!

: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

Leave it to a Pro…

Hello Darlings,

Today was spent in the library killing my head with French, honestly all that I can say is do not start a language in a university. It really does take too much time from the rest of the work. Anyways, moving on.... following my grueling study session and an exam, it was all about Halloween costume hunt! And yep, I found myself a costume! So excited I love dressing up, I am such a kid at heart.

Getting to the point...because I can ramble for hours I always receive a lot of e-mails about two of my Mackage jackets which I am always happy to answer each individually. However, I decided to make a general post just in case others are curious or do not feel comfortable e-mailing ( although I really do love getting e-mails from you!)

Formula that always works…

Hello Darlings,

Some things just need to stay simple...when I am overwhelmed with school, the last thing I need is extra worrying about what to wear. Although it would be a miracle if I could wake up and know exactly what to wear instead of walking into my closet...making a complete mess, sort out a million things on my bed and always end up late, in a rush and somewhat dissatisfied with what I wore. I always have a feeling that I know exactly what I want to wear but as soon as I step into that closet... I am overwhelmed! With a walk-in full of clothes ... It feels like I don't have anything to wear?!!!???? It drives me nuts!!!!

I know ladies that many of you feel this way in the mornings as well....so what is your secret or that perfect thing that you always reach for in such cases??? You know, the formula that always work????

I am wearing:Club Monaco tee (underneath); Soia&Kyo Charlie Jacket; Corpus Skinnies; Ed Hardy Scarf; Pedro Garcia Mary Janes; Gap Leather Purse; Pearl Earrings; Diamond Ring courtesy Ice.com Jewelers; Chanel Sunglasses.

For me that formula is simple.... skinny jeans, simple tee, cute jacket, scarf, heel/flats., sunglasses.It is always a variety of the sameness. To a certain degree awesome, since I know it works but at the same time I feel bored... knowing that I can always resort to my safe bet. Plus, these new babies are becoming my absolutely favorites and I don't seem to be willing to take them off... they are soooooo comfortable it still amazes me

However, I have a plan of action:

- Re-organize my closet..and make a post on it( yup, I will have a post coming up talking about different ways I organize my walk-in as a few of you have requested)
- Draw some inspiration from my favorite Fall 09 fashion shows and random sources.
- Settle down with school work and prevent it from overwhelming me. First weeks are the hardest, always.
- Go shopping with mommy!
- Remember: Breeze and Relax!!!

Well, I am off to read....

I wish you all a stunning day!!!

With Love...
Marta

Ukraine: Freezing

Hello Darlings,
Well, it is as if I jinxed myself. Two days ago, the temperature was in the mid 20s and today it is so cold. Thankfully I thought of bringing my trusty Kors booties. I am finally getting over my jetleg ( Ukraine is 7 hours ahead of Canada) and enjoying every minute I have with my family.

I am wearing: Mackage Leather Jacket; Corpus Skinnies; Club Monaco Cashmere Scarf; Michael Kors Booties; Gap Leather Purse; H&M Bow Headband.

Today, I finally had a chance to pick up a guide book and slowly starting to explore the city. The beauty of the nature here is phenomenal, especially outside the city. The rolling hills, beautiful fields and unforgettable sunsets.

Me being an architecture and art freak,I have to make sure that I visit every landmark and museum ( sooo many churches to see,lol). The time if going my sooo fast. Although I am loving every minute here, I do miss the loved ones in Canada.

Time for me to go sleep, it's 2 am.... ZZZZzzzzzzz

I wish you all a lovely day!!!!

With Love...
Marta

Airport…

Hello Darlings,

Me again.... After a crazy morning of last minute packing. I finally finished my duty-free shopping and currently waiting for my flight. I am pretty relaxed considering a fact that I am terrified of flying. First we are flying to Germany and then to Ukraine. This is going to be a hell of a long journey.

As for my outfit, well comfort came first and I decided to pick up a pair of Juicy sweats. I know, fashion suicide but they are so comfy and totally cute. There's not way that I was going to wear jeans for 12 hour flight.On the side note, it does not say "Juicy" on my behind, lol. Just a simple pair
