Hello Darlings,
Last weekend, I went exploring in my hometown and thought to write this article with my "best of" places to go and see in Toronto.
The variety of people and neighborhoods in Toronto is unlike maybe any other city, so random exploring days can be lots of fun. Some people worship New York, Paris, London and Milan as the most chic and fabulous places on Earth. I don’t disagree, but I think Toronto deserves mention in the list! So here is my current "best of" list of places to see in Toronto, at least in my mind!
I love how friendly people are. I love our National Ballet and Opera, Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, Casa Loma and our CN Tower. I love Toronto fashion week and thousand of other things (except our poor Maple Leafs hockey team who haven't won in 4 decades!).
Hello Darlings,
To add a touch of femininity I went for my new silk Rory Beca blouse... which I also picked up this weekend. It is so beautiful and delicate and I love the details: a ruffled bib and double layer of semi-sheer silk. Topping it all off is my BCBG Max Arzia tuxedo blazer.
Well, I am off to do homework for my architecture class and then walk my baby ( aka my Cocker Spaniel, Johnny)...
Some times everyone needs a new spin on a favorite... in which case for me it's jeans. Although I worship them and have over a dozen pairs, I am slowly getting tired of "the look".
So, I ventured out to find a pair of skinny trousers...and landed on this fabulous pair of Rag & Bone's.Not only are they super comfy but they also have that perfect touch of a classic trouser with a super neat cuff. I fell in love the moment I laid my eye on them.. they're also a very interesting color of cobalt blue! One word: LOVE! They are a perfect balance of classic and modern.I find it very beautiful that they are handmade since the craftsmanship is perfection.
I am wearing: Rory Beca Silk Blouse; Rag & Bone Trousers; BCBG Max Azria Tuxedo Blazer; Bloch Patent Leather Ballerinas; Juicy Couture Laptop Bag; A.V.Max Cuff; Diamond Studs.
This outfit was ideal for class and my desert/coffee date with my bestie, Natalia. The day was complete by my chance encounter with the adorable Joe Jonas and the stunning Natasha Henstridge...these were my first star run ins and I still don't understand people's fascination with celebrities-to me, they are just people...absolutely nothing fascinating. So exactly why are people so obsessed with celebs? :S
P.S. Darlings, Thank you so much for your support on my glasses dilemma. Your words have given me the courage to wear my glasses out on a coffee-date with Andrew.Huge step!
I wish you all a stunning day!!!
With Love...
Marta
Hello Darlings,
I am wearing:
First of all, thanks everyone for your support on yesterdays post!!! This is my place to stand up for my personal beliefs and voice my opinion on certain matters, I'm not very good at overlooking things :P Thank you for your sweet words! I adore my blog and more so I adore the new friends ( all of you darlings) that I have made because of it :)
This is the last part of my Las Vegas posts! Lounging by the pool was the best way to beat the heat...and of course, finally have a chance to wear my new Brette Sandler silk cover up.
I am wearing:
Moschino Bikini
Christian Audigier One piece swinsuit
Juicy Couture Flats
Coach Wristlet
Large Floppy hat from a random store.
I am wearing:
Kerrigan by Daryl K silk dress
Ruthie Davis Swarovski Crystal shoes
Coach Clutch
Despite bringing 6 pair of heels and 3 pairs of flats... those fabulous shoes you love so much become a torture device after a few days of all that walking and dancing!!! ( Outchy) After experiencing my first blisters in many years after the first night, I resorted to wearing my trusty flats up until the point of going to clubs.
I am wearing:
Alexander Wang Chiffon Dress
Juicy Couture Flats
Coach Wristlet
Luc Kieffer Ring
At first I could not bear wearing my favorite Wang dress or my new favorite tutu skirt with flats... however, not only did I learn to love it, but I also came to appreciate that it could look cute and add a touch of effortlessness to the entire ensemble. Honestly, I think that flats can look as wonderful as high heels... I know that this is the worst thing to say, since fashion dictates high heels is the most fabulous thing ever. I do find that flats are the best substitute and can be as chic as high heels on some occasions:)
What do you darlings think? Can flats be as fabulous as high heels?
Lessons learned: Heels are not worth wearing if you're going to cripple your feet! And wearing a floppy hat is a smart choice, not only to shield your face from the harmful rays but also to avoid heat stroke!
I am wearing: Maggie Ward Dress;
Juicy Couture Flat
Gustto Cokera Purse
A.V. Max Cuff
Floppy Hat from a random store.
As for the rest of the vacation spent exploring, eating and lounging... I wore flats and more casual attire! Including my favorite Meggie Ward dress. It looks amazing with everything, got to love those pieces that offer you endless variety. From casual to night out this dress is ideal!
I am wearing:
Club Monaco Semi-Sheer Top
Chanel Sunglasses.
To top of almost every outfit I wore my floppy hat, religiously. I never thought that I could pull it off or feel comfortable wearing it, but I fell in love. A fedora may be the hat of the moment, but it made me feel like a teenage boy and really did not suit my style. Soooooo many people make it look a-m-a-z-i-n-g, I just felt awkward. But the floppy hat made me feel like a lady :)
By the way, if you're ever in Las Vegas check out the Bellagio fountains. They are sooo stunning (click on the video belong and turn on the speakers). Also check out the Eiffel Tower, the views from there is beyond AMAZING!
I wish you all a stunning day!!!
With Love...
