Double Cool in Rhys Dwfen

On October 1, 2008 · 35 Comments · In Fall, Wear
Hello Darlings,

Some times you win, such as today when I found the cutest pair of Miss Sixty Knee Socks and this Rhys Dwfen knit dress... And then sometimes you lose, since I got a speeding ticket on my way home.

I am wearing:

Rhys Dwfen Knit Dress

Wilfred Linen Trench

Roots Scarf

Miss Sixty Knee Socks

Michael Kors booties

I wore this Pippi Longstocking inspired outfit to my Modern Art class. Unfortunately the cuteness factor wasn't enough to save me from getting a parking ticket....

 

What do you get when you combine a beloved womenswear designer and hip denim brand?

ACNE / LANVIN

A collaboration between Lanvin's maestro Alber Elbaz and Swedish designer Jonny Johansson. The collection incorporates Elbaz's trademarks ( blouson-sleeve dresses, large collars on jackets anc coats and chunky jewelry) with Johansson's edgy cuts. The collection is available in November.

" It started with one pair of jeans, and then Alber asked if could we do more" Johansson
" I wanted to do desirable denim, from raincoats to tuxedos,corsets and shrugs." Elbaz
With Love ... Marta

Let’s talk about Stress in Fashion

On September 21, 2008 · 22 Comments · In Inspiration, Life As It Happens
Hello Darlings,

Women are striving to have it all - the ideal job, family, body, and fashion. But at what cost? No sleep, stress, depression? That is the question for you to answer. As for me, trying to balance work, school, and some sort of social life comes at a cost - for me mostly stress that leads to panics.

If an average person has trouble dealing with all the stress in their lives, I wonder how do people the famous people in the fashion world handle stress? Well..... TAKE A LOOK at this video called Stress in Fashion and featuring the Kaiser of fashion himself, Karl Lagerfeld.

Stress Therapy

Well as my stress levels keep increasing, I continue finding comfort in retail therapy. This time I actually went to the mall instead of just clicking my way through a website, where I bought this Ralph Lauren blazer with school boy styling complete with a crest.

I am wearing:
Talula Wool Blazer H&M Plaid Cotton Shirt J -brand Michael Kors Platforms A.V. Max Gold Studded Cuff Gap Leather Purse

On another note, I had an accident rock climbing. Nothing major, but no skirts or dresses for me until the bruises heal :( Lesson learned to be more careful next time.

I wish you all a Happy Monday!!!!
With Love... Marta

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

20th Birthday Celebration

On September 2, 2008 · 31 Comments · In Family, Life As It Happens, Summer, Wear
Hello Darlings,

I enjoyed a perfect 20th birthday celebration with a monster chocolate cake and some intimate time with my loved ones.

I also spent my weekend with Andrew at the cottage, spending time by the beach and partying with friends. Monday (on my birthday) we had dinner with my parents, and today, we went out for Japanese food in the cutest area of Toronto. A four day celebration is not sooo bad ... lol.
As for my birthday outfit (the date night outfit), I wore a Chix dress by Maggie Ward together with my BCBG Max Azria Tuxedo Blazer and Michael Kors Ankle Boots.

Andrew's lobster is on fire, lol .... the dinner was so much fun. Although, this was not our fist time there, it's always fun to go back :)

 

I am wearing:

Chix Dress by Maggie Ward

BCBG Max Azria Tuxedo Blazer

Michael Kors Ankle Boots

A.V. Max New York Cuff

Kimberly Baker Jewelry Necklace

Gifts Time
As for my gift, I received a beautiful Canon Camera and accessories from Andrew, it's super tiny and pink .... he always gives the greatest gifts!
 

My parents got me a day at the spa, a super cute scarf, make up, redecorated my room including my closet, and of course lots of Godiva chocolate (my fav.) I also received Dior goodies from my best friend and more Godiva. Thank you all for such a wonderful birthday :) Lots of love .... MWAH

With Love...

Marta
