Ordinary…

On February 4, 2009 · 32 Comments · In Uncategorized
Hello Darlings, Well, today was an ordinary day... school, study... ooh yea, and babysitting my 5 year old cousin. He and I had a blast watching Transformers movie. Aanyways, on to the important issues and posts coming up: 1) V-day Enough said... Whats a girl to wear? What are you planning on wearing ( if celebrating)? 2) Spring Wardrobe Well, it is -20 and I am already planning out my spring wardrobe. Leather jacket was the starting point. Definitely something so post about...hehe
What do you think are this Spring essentials? What are you planning on buying?
3) Shopping on a Student Budget. Over a certain period of time, I've received comments and e-mails asking" How can I afford/organize my wardrobe on a student budget?" I actually have quite a technique that works for me and does not require crazy amounts of money. So, I will definately make a post regarding that in the near future...I am actually really thrilled to do it.
If there's anything you would want me to talk about, do not hesitate to ask. I am always open to any questions/suggestions.
My Favorite Nook
Well, today's outfit was pretty simple...I was too lazy to be creative and really didn't want to go to my German class. One thing I've learned in University is DON'T START A LANGUAGE IN A UNIVERSITY. It will slowly murder you.... like German is murdering me now. But a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do....get a tutor ( as if 4 hour lectures are not enough)
But no serious damage done here.... A trip to Starbucks after class was all it took to make things better... And After a Grande Mocha and 3 chocolate cupcakes I was ready for homework, AGAIN.
I am wearing: YMC Socu Wool Cardigan Gap Pima Cotton Tee Corpus Skinnies in Ash Kimberly Baker Dove Necklace Michael Kors Booties
Sure, designers can make their " affordable" tees costing $100 but for me nothing beats GAP pima cotton tees with a little pocket. I have them in few colors. Not only are they soft... but are very flattering.
I bet many of you wonder... why do I always take picture in the same place.Well... 1) I hate taking pics in public... I'm kind of shy in that way. 2) It is like -20 outside. 3) I like taking pics in the privacy of my room with nobody's help. I just place my camera on a shelf and point towards my favorite nook. hehe... no fancy photography skills here.
Tip: If you live in cold climate ( like me) invest in a cute sweater that's warm and basic. Although I paid nearly $200 for this cardi... I've been wearing it non stop. Comfy, cute, super warm, and goes with about anything. It will work perfectly in the spring and fall. And because the quality is amazing and the cut is pretty classic it will probably last me a few winters.I really really love it, as well.
Anyways, back I go... I am writing a textbook review for my research. So not fun.
I wish you all an amazing day !!!
With Love... Marta

As for my outfit, I am wearing a Spring & Clifton V-neck Long Cardi together with Corpus Alpha in Cracked jeans. The cut is casual, the cotton is super soft, so it is comfortable for reading. But the details are what makes it more than just an everyday throw on shirt, with an interesting collar with a tie, cute pearl buttons at the shoulders, and the sheerness of the stripes.

To bring all the details together, I pull my hair back n a high messy bun with a headband and pearl earrings (to go with pearl buttons) and to make it more winter friendly I added a long cozy cardi with colorful buttons.

I wish you all a lovely Tuesday!!!

With Love ... Marta

From Mexico with Love….part one!!!

On January 9, 2009 · 25 Comments · In Fly, Summer, Wear
Hello Darlings,

I am back ... and wish I wasn't!!!! I LOVE MEXICO!!! It was an unforgettable vacation that was filled with tons of fun, drunken moments , sunny days, and awesome adventures.

Cancun was an ideal vacation destination, with incredible night life and amazing adventure. Grand Oasis is a beautiful 5 star resort, and is definitely the heart of the party!!!

My vacation wardrobe was simple and casual. It mainly consisted of bikinis, summery dresses, my new Miss Trish of Capri Sandals ( i lived in them), high heels, flats, jeans, and tees.

Blast off: Traveling from Canada to Mexico can be a bit difficult, since we left during a crazy snow storm so it was annoying to carry heavy winter clothes when I arrived in hot Mexico.

 

I am wearing:

M. Rena Wool Sweater

Gap Long Sveele Cotton Shirt

Corpus Skinnies in Ash

Juicy Couture Flats - so comfy

Gap Leather Purse

Coach Swingback

I wore fluffy flats and my favorite M. Rena sweater. My carry on luggage consisted of two purses, my favorite large leather hobo and a Coach swingpack. And of course, no make up - it is just really bad for your skin on the flight.NEW YEARS All I can say is nothing can compare to ringing in the new year in Cancun.... Simply WOW!!!   NEW YEARS IN CANCUN MEXICO: Nothing compares to ringing in the new year in Cancun....

New Years eve is always a big deal to me and having an opportunity to celebrate it in Cancun meant that I had to find a perfect dress. I wore a simple yet comfortable breeze dress from French Connection. It was an an unforgettable night in Cancun city.

I am wearing:

French Connection Dress with pockets

Michael Kors Heels

To kick-off our New Years eve, we had an amazing dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse, and then went to The City night club with Sandra Collins DJ'ing. To cap off our night there was a party by a swimming pool in our resort.

The New Years celebration lasted into the wee hours of the morning.... :)

COBA - Mayan Ruins and Pyramids

When Andrew and I were deciding on our vacation destination earlier this year, we knew that we wanted to have a cultural experience as well as a party atmosphere, therefore Mexico seemed like an ideal choice. For me, as an architectural freak seeing the ruins was probably the most exciting part of the trip ( I am a geek, I know,lol)... and although, I wish I could have seen as three sites close to Cancun (Chichen Itza, Tulum, and Coba) .... I settled for Coba.

I am wearing: French Connection Cotton Tee Dress Miss Trish of Capri Sandals Ray Ban Wayfarers Coba is a large ruined city of the Pre-Colonial Mayan civilization and is also a location of the newly discovered Mayan ruins and pyramids. The site was opened to the public in 1972 and only 8 % of an estimate of 6,000 structures are restored.The main pyramid, Nohoch Mul is 42 meters tall ( 138 feet) and is the highest in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Our day was filled with adventure in a Mayan village located in the jungle, where we had a Mayan ceremony with a shaman, ate Mayan food with the locals, wandered around a jungle,Zip-lined across the lake, went swimming in a meteorite crater( Cenote), as well as water canoeing through a lagoon.

The day was definately filled with adventure and excitement that is truly unforgettable.The other half of the pictures are coming up soon :)

To a certain degree I am glad to be back... but still adjusting to the brutal cold weather. Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it on the 7th!!!!!
With Love.... Marta
