On April 12, 2009 · 26 Comments · In Go, Shopping
Hello Darlings,

As my vacation is approaching, I am trying to finish all of my shopping and picked up this silk top from Club Monaco. With a 20% student discount and great quality and prices, Club Monaco is fast becoming my personal favorite store.

I adore the details of this blouse: the collar,the sleeves and the zipper on the back.

I am wearing:

Club Monaco Silk Blouse

Wilfred Skirt

Mackage Leane Leather Jacket

Michael Kors booties

I am wearing:
Club Monaco Silk Blouse
French Connection Trousers

I played dress up in my room, and found these two looks to pair

with my new Club Monaco Silk Blouse. What do you think???

With Love... Marta

Gallery Hopping…

On March 23, 2009 · 13 Comments · In Uncategorized
Hello Lovelies,
I am proud to announce that I have finally bought my Art Gallery of Ontario membership and payed a visit on Sunday morning to check out Boucher's Les Sabots for my critique. The gallery was recently re-done by the famous Frank Gehry and I must admit it is quite impressive. In some ways it resembles Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum... it must be that spiral staircase( lol) in others it has that Guggenheim, Bilbao futuristic feeling. I can't wait to take the architectural tour.... so exciting !!! and every other tour that they offer and buy up all of their catalogs.
Conservative with a twist
As for my outfit it was comfortable and conservative, but I did try something different with my hair...
I really loved what they did with the hair at Carolina Herrera (spring 09) and decided to try it myself but by adding a girly twist - a ponytail, instead of tucking away my hair. It is comfortable and neat, and would definately work perfectly in the summer when it is humid.
I am wearing: Soia & Kyo jacket; Ralph Lauren Top; French Connection Trousers; Michael Kors Oxfords; Accessories &Beyond Bracelets in Gold.
Seriously, if you need a quick get away to spend some time alone and just contemplate about all things beautiful or whatever just pay your local gallery a visit... you'll be surprised as to how awesome you will feel after. For me, this trip definitely reinforced my passion for art and architecture in ways that I never expected...I just hope that my future allows me to continue to discover and work in such wonderful environment.
As for now, I am off to work on my critique...
I wish you all a wonderful day !!!!
With Love... Marta

Hello Darlings,

" A piece that was once relegated to the masculine set has now been streamlined as a series of soft silhouettes for spring, varying from fluid trousers to daring dhoti styles to chic cropped cuts. Paired with blazers, blouses, and knits, these smart looks were topped off with playful purses."

I've always adored trousers and this season seems like a perfect time to experiment with different styles. Personally, I always stick with a men's inspired loose trouser, only only because they are comfortable ( like pjs) but also because they have they easy cool look. However, this seasons I am definately ready to try out different styles...we'll see where that takes me, lol.
Loose
I prefer a simple black higher waist trouser with pleats and that is made of cotton wool blend. They are perfect for work,everyday casual, or even for dinner or cocktails. This look I wore for a dinner...
I just body-con top with an interesting lace print and an open back...it was simple but not office-y. It is just a matter of experimenting... and that's what I am still doing.
I am wearing: Club Monaco Top French Connection Trousers Michael Kors booties A.V.Max Cuff
As for my hair, well that was a pain... first it was down then it was up and then down again. I couldn't make up my mind.... What do you think? P.S. I would like to send out a special thanks to Danz from Fatal Attraction 2 Fashion for the lovely awards. I would like to pass these on to every single blogger out there!!!! Thank you so much for your support :) Well, off I go to study for my exam....
I wish you all a lovely day!!!
With Love... Marta
