What + What = Cozy…

On October 8, 2008 · 33 Comments · In Fall, Wear
Hello Darlings,

When the weather gets nasty, it doesn't matter what I am wearing so long as it's cozy and comfortable... well that's a little over exaggerated since I do have my own little formula: Chunky Knit + Thin Cashmere + Fav. Jeans + Comfy Waterproof Boots + Umbrella = Cozy and comfy

For my "cozy look", I started with grey Abercrombie & Fitch Skinnies and a pink Hayden Cashmere sweater. Then, sexed it up with my Juicy Couture Italian Leather boots, and classed it back up with my M. Rena Wool Cardi.

NEED HELP: This is my natural hair (yup, it's wavy) and I usually straighten it. I need your opinion, which one do you like more straight or wavy? Honesty is appreciated :)

I am wearing:
M. Rena Wool Cardi from Mendocino
Hayden Cashmere Sweater
Abercrombie & Fitch Skinnies in Grey
Moschino Suede Gloves
Juicy Couture Italian Leather Boots

Climbing with Givenchy Floral Tights

On October 5, 2008 · 37 Comments · In Fall, Life As It Happens, Love & Relationships, Wear
Hello Darlings,

One of my favorite blogs, Your Everyday Style featured WithLoveGabrielle as an Image of the Moment. Thanks a million to the lovely TINA. And as for my weekend, I wore this Maggie Ward dress with adorable Givenchy floral tights for a dinner date with Andrew on Saturday... :)

On Friday, we also went climbing, and I finally bought climbing SHOES. Yup, we are equipped to explore wilderness when the time is right. I am so excited to take it outside, that we committed to climb twice a week.

I love the thrill of rock climbing, but the downside is HAND BLISTERS and KNEE BRUISES. Last week I got a blister and freaked out. So now I obsessively moisturize and do a mani pedi after climbing. AM I TOO GIRLY FOR THIS HOBBY ? I mean, I climb in purple outfit with a purple bow headband ... all I need to do is powder my nose between the climb...

I am wearing: Hayden Cashmere Dress - $325, on sale for $93.45 Talula Wool Blazer - $148 Juicy Couture Italian Leather Boots - $622, on sale for $360 A.V.Max Cuff - $58, on sale for $28 H&M Headband - $3.99 Givenchy Floral Tights - $15
VOGUE = KAPUT?
Also, I bought Vogue and In Style last week, and realized how much I don't like Vogue anymore. I used to " worship" the magazine, but all it is now is designer ads that you have to pay to see. There's nothing to read. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THIS WAY? But there's a bigger reason why this was my last issue. I am a big animal lover and humane society volunteer. AND I strongly disagree with Anna Wintor's Vogue fur spreads, pro-fur editorials, and refusal of paid ads from animal protection groups. PETA member Pink sent a handwritten letter to Wintour, urging her to drop fur promotion in her magazine.  
90210 in IN STYLE
I also bought In Style and loved it. I loved this photo spread photographed by Pamela Hanson and styled by Elizabeth Stewart, featuring Lori Loughlin and Shanae Grimes - from the new 90210. Although I am not that in love with 90210 ( I did adore the old version), I do love this photo spread :)

I don't share my clothes with my mom. DO YOU?

WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY MONDAY :)

Back to School ….

On September 7, 2008 · 28 Comments · In Fly, Toronto
Hello Darlings,

It's back to school tomorrow at University of Toronto, so I am sorry in advance for not posting as often. As I adjust to my 9am - 9pm schedule again, I will try my best to update regularly.

For my last summer weekend, I shopped with Andrew and his brother (dressing boys is so much fun), went to a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game, and spent hours rock climbing...

I love rock climbing. It's like a form of meditation, relaxing and exciting at the same time. I have never taken photos when climbing so here is my first attempt.

After rock climbing, Andrew and I had a date night at one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto. We also went for a sweet walk to enjoy one of the last warm summer nights, sigh.

I am wearing:

Hayden Cashmere Dress Soia&Kyo Charlie Coat Michael Kors booties
WISH YOU ALL A LOVELY MONDAY
With Love, Marta

Tragic Story …. and Rhys Dwfen

On August 19, 2008 · 23 Comments · In Culture, Fall, Go, Wear
Hello Darlings,

This is what happened.... I ordered the red dress (picture below) to wear on my 20th birthday and received it about two weeks ago. It was a little long (see the pic), so I took it to be hemmed....

Well, it's been a week AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? The dress is now a shirt. It went from 35 inches to 19. Instead of taking off 1 inch they took off about 16 inches.... Kill me now, who makes that kind of a mistake....

I was so upset I cried, and what's worse the tailor is saying the dress shrunk. Come on, isn't that why we take stuff for dry cleaning ?????? SO IT DOES NOT SHRINK? I promise to post pics of the SHIRT DRESS as soon as I get it back and tell you the ending of this tragic story. So I resorted to on-line retail therapy at Active Endeavors... and found:

1. Harrow Shirt by Totem 2. Willie Scoop Knit Dress by Rhys Dwfen 3. Chix Dress by Maggie Ward NOW, it a matter of waiting for them to arrive and hopefully before my B-day. And now on to my weekend .......
Although, I am not a hopeless romantic ... my boyfriend - who's real name is Andrew - does like to surprise with the most romantic things, randomly.This time, he surprised me with tickets to " Dirty Dancing". The night was perfect and " I had the time of my life" ( cheezy phase, but it is from the movie)...
I didn't take the pictures at the show because I forgot my camera at home ... but here's my outfit.
I am wearing: - Hayden Cashmere Dress - Jucity Couture Mary Jane's - Dove Necklace by Kimberly Baker Jewelry - A.V.Max New York Studd Cuff

By the way, welcome to my closet. Is a complete crazy mess,

but my excuse is I am still renovating my room.

With Love...

Marta
