Women and Entitlement: Avoid Broke and Thirty

On March 26, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Life As It Happens, Love & Relationships, Shopping, Spring, Wear

Hello Darlings,

For the past year or so, I have obsessively been watching Slice TV’s show, Princess. Hosted by Gail Vaz-Oxlade, the series sets out to inspire women to make good financial decisions by profiling spoiled spenders, and encourage them to grow up and get real.

The most recent episode specifically inspired this article, in which a 22 year old blonde with extensions, fake tan, french manicure, and designer clothes lives according to the premise that it is a man’s job to pay. In her words, “he should get into his pocket, take out lots of cash, and just keep me happy.” It is of course every man’s dream to find a woman who will sit on her behind baking cookies and birthing kids with absolutely no career or aspirations to achieve success on her own. Next thing you know, she is out on her broke behind with nothing but her entitlement.

Cougar Ringo Star Boots

On November 25, 2010 · 23 Comments · In Wear, Winter
Hello Darlings,

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to receive two pairs of Cougar boots and a beautiful care package from Matchstick (Thank you!). Of course I was super excited to give these Canadian babies a try especially since the brand has such a great history (note: in now way has this opportunity influenced my opinion to review the product).

Since 1948, Cougar has been creating footwear in Ontario to keep our feet toasty warm through cold Canadian winters. This year, Cougar released a fashion forward line that features cute details such a buckles and faux-fur. Today, I had the opportunity to test out my very own pair of Ringo Star Boots that retail for $200.

School+Style=???

Hello Darlings,

Do fashion and education go hand in hand? Probably not, but they definitely could and should. Being a university student, I face this dilemma everyday when getting ready in the morning: how can one be stylish and still not be perceived as “trying too hard”? My personal style is more of a preppy meets I-am-not-sure. Actually, I can never really define what+what=Marta’s style. Let’s just say I like feeling pulled-together and neat. Some may call it “high maintenance,” but I disagree, as it takes me only 30 minutes to get ready! The point is most of the time I get “high maintenance” or “trying too hard” or “this is university, why even bother dressing up” looks. Does it annoy me? Sure! Would I ever downplay my love for dressing up? Of course not!”

Hello Lovelies, The moment I laid my eye on these latex babies, I knew that my world is about to change.....Well,I always though that I would be the last person to wear latex anything ... but here I am, desperately looking for a pair of latex tights... <------ so scandalous, and oh so alluring!!! If anyone knows where I can find a similar pair... please let me know, I will be grateful forever. THANK YOU
X-mas Shopping, but why for myself?
While looking for a gift for my boyfriend, I found a new coat for myself by a chance. It is yet another Soia & Kyo ( i love their jackets and they are Canadian) coat and it is slightly similar to my black one but also very different ...Every time I look for a gift, I end up buying something for myself. Although this is my 8-9th winter jacket, I still have yet to find a perfect gift for Andrew. Yes, I suck at buying gift for men... I feel like I have already given him all the classic manly gifts that a girlfriend can get. HELP!
I am wearing: Soia &Kyo Wool Coat in White Hayden Cashmere Dress Moschino Suede Gloves Michael Kors booties Gap Leather Purse Calvin Klein Opaque Tights in Black
Can you believe it, the winter 08 hasn't started and the designer are already showing Pre-Fall 2009 Collections... I am the only one who feels like fashion is getting way tooooo far ahead of itself. I haven't had the time to look at all of the Spring 09 collections and the fall is already out ... Are you serious? :S Anyways, back I go to studying ... I have a final exam on Monday. UGGGH
I would like to apologize for not being able to respond to the comment quickly enough...I can't wait to get Starbucks on Monday night and read all of your amazing blogs and also respond to all of you sweet comments . I wish you all a fabulous weekend.
With Love... Marta
