Hello Darlings,

Dressing for a dinner party can be a pain. Stressing over being over-dressed under-dressed, too conservative, or too fashion forward is what I struggling with, so this is what I came up with....

Dinner Party Neutrals: I chose a look with a gray and black silhouette, which made me feel confident even though I can be shy when meeting new people. Pairing with opaque tights seemed a bit bulky for this particular look, so I decided on sheer black and a leather jacket.

Next time, I will definately try this dress with my hair up, to accentuate the deep cut. I always hate deciding on hair up or down... ugghh

Some of you are probably getting tired of all the gray. I think that it is an awesome alternative to black, but I am looking forward to spring and bringing back some color into my life.

I am still working on my Spring "inspirations" and "to-buy list". Usually, anything and everything to do with shopping is pretty easy, but not this time. It's coming, I promise... actually I think that I am going to break up " Spring inspiration" into multiple posts.

I would like to send out special thanks to freeTEYme and

Nicole from The Wardrobe Chronicles for the amazing awards.

Hello Darlings,

Excited to reveal my new Michael Kors Duck Boots that I just bought on sale for $100.

They are not exactly the prettiest shoes ever, but they are perfect winter shoes - rubber, water-proof but with a high patent leather heel. They are also incredibly comfortable and I can wear them all day without slightest sign of discomfort.

For my fellow Twilighters, I decided to also post photos of Twilight Collector's Edition Although the book is beautiful, it is only worth buying if you're (A) a book collector or (B) a crazy obsessed Twilight fan. In my case it is more B as opposed to A.

The gorgeous book includes a slide- in case, and the book is covered in beautiful cloth. The inside pages are made of top quality paper with beautiful calligraphy, and the front page features Stephanie Meyer's signature. It also includes an attached ribbon book mark.

P.S.I am currently working on my Spring shopping list...

What are your must haves for this spring?

With Love...

Marta

Hello Darlings,

Happy Belated Valentine's Day. Sorry for the late update, but I just returned from my own Valentine's weekend. I am obsessed with Giambattista Valli and drew my inspiration from his spring collection for my V-day outfit. I wanted something pretty, edgy, romantic and fun - so wore my trusty Alexander Wang dress. I just love how flirty it makes me feel, paired with my favorite booties and leather jacket to give it some edge... :P

 

Tip: Seductive tights can make a boring dress look fabulous. Actually, I love wearing pretty tights every day. They are a fun and easy way to bring life to your cold weather wardrobe. My Tights - check out this site, they have the best variety of tights. As for Canadians, I suggest Legs Beautiful or Winners for awesome selection.

 

I am wearing: Alexander Wang Dress Mackage Leather Jacket Joe Boxer Tights Coach Patent Leather Wristlet Swarovski Necklace and Bracelet

I wore matching Swarovski Love necklace and bracelet to make my outfit feel more special and Valentine-y. As for make up, well I hate wearing much - so a little blush, mascara and pretty lip gloss did the job. The fabric of the dress is so delicate I wanted to keep everything else light and simple.

 

P.S. I just bought a pair of shoes that I've been dying for, and finally found them 65 % off and they are perfection. Can't wait to share them with you :)

Also, I finally received my Twilight collectors edition - so I will review and post some pics.   Sources: This is glamorous; Dom Perignon Rose Ad by Karl Lagerfeld.

Hello Darlings,

I am excited to show my two new purchases. The first is a leather jacket from Canadian designer Mackage. The second is a "going out" top, which is a sequin top from Alice & Olivia.

This is my first leather jacket, and it was a struggle to find one that fit my style. Mackage is a Canadian brand, and I am convinced that Canadians make the best jackets because of our brutal winters. It's not only about looking awesome but also preventing frost bite...

I did not want the "grunge look", instead personalizing this trend rather than following it. The simple, feminine and detailed Mackage Leane leather jacket fit my style, and I sized up from XXS to S.

The jacket is classic but contemporary. The leather is durable, yet buttery soft. Mackage quality is excellent, and as they say, their products are " detailed to perfection".

My second purchase was this sheer sequin Alice & Olivia top. I like how it can be worn going out for that subtle sexy look or pair it wish my cashmere cardi for an everyday look with a little sparkle.

I am wearing:

Mackage Leane Leather Jacket

Alice & Olivia Sequin Top

J Brand Mid Rise 12" Leg in Black

Juicy Couture Leather Boots

Accessories & Beyond Elastic Bracelet Set in Black & Gold
