All the pretty bows

On November 4, 2008 · 27 Comments · In Inspiration, Wear

Hello Darlings,

My current obsession is bows... in a tasteful manner, not overwhelming or loud. I love bows on shirts, tights, rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, shoes, purses... basically everywhere. I'm not sure what's with me and all the girly things, but I am obsessing. So here's yet another girly obsession of mine ... that is seen all over the Chloe, Chanel, Moschino and D&G spring runways.

<---- Moschino Spring 2009. I am in love.
  Up close and Personal with the Bow
I love Trash and Luxury Tees... they are always fun and totally casual but of course with a touch of interesting details.
I love the flow-y look and the exposed shoulder is always a big plus.
Lovelies, Enjoy your day... and for my fellow American readers, Don't Forget to VOTE!!!!
With Love... Marta

Pretty in Pink…

On October 25, 2008 · 25 Comments · In Wear, Winter
Hello Darlings,

I've had quite an interesting week, full of birthday parties. Thursday, I had my German exam with a party right after, so for my exam chic look I wore my Whitley Silk Top and J Brand Skinnies.

I was inspired by the queen of girly and pink, Betsey Johnson, her pink house. I used to have the same pink wall color, and from her spring 2008 collection I am obsessed with this tiny pink dress :)

 

I was also inspired by the movie Pretty in Pink, and bought a new Alexander Wang dress... IT MADE MY WEEK and I can't wait to share it with you. I am wearing it out tonight to another friends birthday bash.

 

I am wearing:

Whitley Silk Top - $209, on sale for $53

Talula Babaton Wool Blazer - $148 J Brand Skinnies - $158, on sale for $98 Juicy Couture Italian Leather Boots - $622, on sale for $360 A.V. Max Gold Studded Cuff - $56, on sale for $28 Diamond Studs - Sweet 16th gift from mommy and daddy

With Love ... Marta

Black and White in Juicy Couture

On October 19, 2008 · 37 Comments · In Fall, Wear
Hello Darlings,

Although some think black & white are rather boring, I disagree. They are timeless, and are the building blocks of every great wardrobe. To me there's something about the simplicity and charm of black and white... with clean lines that create a crisp look.

Playing with this classic combination, I decided to wear my new Juicy Couture Puff Sleeve Polo with a cute puppy logo and text at the back. It's a simple polo with very feminine details

I am wearing: Juicy Couture Puff Sleeve Polo - $78 J - Brand Jeans - $158, on sale for $98 Soia& Kyo Charlie Coat - $230 H&M Headband - $3.99 Juicy Couture Italian Leather Boots - $622, on sale for $360 A.V. Max Studded Cuff - $56, on sale for $28  
Obsessed - Yet Again
 
Speaking of Juicy Couture, I am obsessed with how girly, casual, and classic is their brand. I am searching for this flat - if you know where I can order a pair in size 6 or 6.5 - please let me know...
With Love... Marta

Shopaholic Compulsive Buying

On September 28, 2008 · 24 Comments · In Inspiration, Life As It Happens, Shopping

Hello Darlings,

STRESS + SHOPPING = MORE STRESS

Shopping is a stress reliever, but realizing what I spent this month makes me feel even more stressed out. So I got to thinking, most women love to shop, but to what extent? Is it fun or is it really an addiction? I decided to do a little research and here are some of the facts that I found:

Lets get the facts straight

Compulsive buying is a chronic tendency to buy far in excess of needs and resources

Compulsive shopping is often viewed favorably rather than treated as a problem

Nearly 6% of the U.S. population fits the compulsive-buyer classification

Compulsive buying afflicts men and women at the about the same rate

Like other addictions, shopping fills some kind of a void

Characteristics are low self-esteem, and vulnerable to depression and high anxiety

 
 
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE A SHOPAHOLIC? DO YOU HAVE WAYS TO CONTROL YOUR SPENDING?  
 
My goodies arrived in the mail including a beautiful pair of Juicy Couture Italian leather boots
These were planned purchases. Justified?

Soia&Kyo Annisa Z Wool Coat YMC Wool Cardigan BCBG Wool Sweater H&M Stripped Dress Miss Sixty Knee Socks Givenchy Floral Tights

On a completely different note, I went to the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game. I love going to the hockey games - always lots of fun :)

I am wearing: YMC Wool Cardigan Idylle Tee J brand skinnies Minnetonka Moccasins
I wore my new YMC wool cardigan to have a casual but cute look at the hockey game. I would never be that girl wearing stilettos to a hockey game, which is surprisingly common... WOULD YOU WEAR STILETTOS TO A SPORTS EVENT?

Earlier that day

I am wearing: YMC Wool Cardigan French Connection Belle Trousers AA Sheer Rib Scoop Back Tee
Browns Couture Italian Leather Flats

My Shopping Outfit ...
