From Las Vegas With Love, part 2…

On September 10, 2009 · 23 Comments · In Fly, Summer, Wear
Hello Darlings,

First of all, thanks everyone for your support on yesterdays post!!! This is my place to stand up for my personal beliefs and voice my opinion on certain matters, I'm not very good at overlooking things :P Thank you for your sweet words! I adore my blog and more so I adore the new friends ( all of you darlings) that I have made because of it :)

This is the last part of my Las Vegas posts! Lounging by the pool was the best way to beat the heat...and of course, finally have a chance to wear my new Brette Sandler silk cover up.

I am wearing:
Moschino Bikini
Christian Audigier One piece swinsuit
Juicy Couture Flats
Coach Wristlet
Large Floppy hat from a random store.
Align Center
I am wearing:
Kerrigan by Daryl K silk dress
Ruthie Davis Swarovski Crystal shoes
Coach Clutch

Despite bringing 6 pair of heels and 3 pairs of flats... those fabulous shoes you love so much become a torture device after a few days of all that walking and dancing!!! ( Outchy) After experiencing my first blisters in many years after the first night, I resorted to wearing my trusty flats up until the point of going to clubs.

I am wearing:

Alexander Wang Chiffon Dress

Juicy Couture Flats

Coach Wristlet

Luc Kieffer Ring

At first I could not bear wearing my favorite Wang dress or my new favorite tutu skirt with flats... however, not only did I learn to love it, but I also came to appreciate that it could look cute and add a touch of effortlessness to the entire ensemble. Honestly, I think that flats can look as wonderful as high heels... I know that this is the worst thing to say, since fashion dictates high heels is the most fabulous thing ever. I do find that flats are the best substitute and can be as chic as high heels on some occasions:)

What do you darlings think? Can flats be as fabulous as high heels?

Lessons learned: Heels are not worth wearing if you're going to cripple your feet! And wearing a floppy hat is a smart choice, not only to shield your face from the harmful rays but also to avoid heat stroke!

I am wearing:
Maggie Ward Dress;
Juicy Couture Flat
Gustto Cokera Purse
A.V. Max Cuff
Floppy Hat from a random store.

As for the rest of the vacation spent exploring, eating and lounging... I wore flats and more casual attire! Including my favorite Meggie Ward dress. It looks amazing with everything, got to love those pieces that offer you endless variety. From casual to night out this dress is ideal!

I am wearing:
Club Monaco Semi-Sheer Top
Abercrombie& Fitch Shorts
Chanel Sunglasses.

To top of almost every outfit I wore my floppy hat, religiously. I never thought that I could pull it off or feel comfortable wearing it, but I fell in love. A fedora may be the hat of the moment, but it made me feel like a teenage boy and really did not suit my style. Soooooo many people make it look a-m-a-z-i-n-g, I just felt awkward. But the floppy hat made me feel like a lady :)

By the way, if you're ever in Las Vegas check out the Bellagio fountains. They are sooo stunning (click on the video belong and turn on the speakers). Also check out the Eiffel Tower, the views from there is beyond AMAZING!

I wish you all a stunning day!!!

With Love... Marta

Variation of Stripes…

On March 5, 2009 · 9 Comments · In Wear
Hello Darlings,

I've been bombarded with essays (and it is just starting)... many of which require a visit or two to the Art Gallery of Ontario (which was recently remodeled by Frank Gehry - so exciting). I am definitely looking forward to aimlessly staring at the work of art for an hour, strictly instructed by my profs. Why an hour? I am not sure... but I will definitely update you on my experience, lol.

STRIPES

As for my outfit, since I spent most of today in the library or having coffee - dessert breaks, I went for simple and comfortable. I might give up certain things (dresses and skirts) for comfort but not heels. I refuse to give them up just because it is a bit icy outside. BUT like any good sport, hobby, or talent it takes patience and practice to learn how to balance on ice in heels, lol. Don't practice in public though... lol

Why am I talking about shoes, when this post is about my obsession with stripes....

I'm one of those people who doesn't have much color in my wardrobe, but one thing that I do have is variation of stripes... really I have at least a dozen pieces with variations of stripes. I find stripes effortless chic.
My latest stripe find was this Ralph Lauren top. It really does add a touch of interest to an all black outfit :) You will definately see a lot of it. Another obsession is the leather jacket - I think that it was the best splurge, I wear it all the time.
I am wearing:
Mackage leather jacket
Moschino Suede Gloves
Gap Leather Purse
Michael Kors Booties
Yup, I still wear gloves. I just really love my hands to be toasty. And since spring is in the air - I decided to brighten up my day. By painting my nails bright pink and to my surprise it complemented the blacks and grays of my outfit perfectly.

P.S. Although I get low lights every few months to add shine and dimension to my natural hair color...

I was thinking of getting a bit of highlights, maybe honey brow?

What do you think I should do with my hair?
Can't wait for the warm weather....
I am so excited for the spring time... and definitely dedicating lots of time to creating my "inspiration list" and "to buy list". I am going through every spring/summer 2009 fashion show and deciding on the trends, colors, themes, etc that I am currently loving and needs o buy!!! This whole process is almost as fun as shopping itself, well in a way...
P.S. I am definately looking forward to this weekend and to have a chance to catch up with your lovely blogs !!!!
I wish you all a beautiful spring day !!!
With Love... Marta

With Love from Mexico…..part two!!!

On January 18, 2009 · 30 Comments · In Fly, Summer, Wear
Hello Darlings,

Vacation is for relaxing and getting away from your everyday life - but it is not the time to look frumpy. It is the time to look and feel fabulous - although easier said then done.... So here's my attempt at being vacation fabulous in my Tiny Bikini.

Photobucket

A bikini is the most important article of " clothing" during any beach vacation, but it is also the most dreaded one...

Photobucket
 

Prancing around in a bikini is of course intimidating, and I for one am uncomfortable parading around a resort half-naked. So I mostly wore a dress or shorts outside the beach area ( bar, restaurants, lobby, etc) ...

Photobucket
As for sarongs, I am not very fond of them, especially the long ones. Then again, if it works then it works.
Photobucket I am wearing: Moschino Triangle Bikini Ray Ban Wayfarers Marc Jacobs Sunglasses American Apparel Lame Headband Photobucket
In the swimming pool, I usually resorted to a one piece... swimming pool is the time for fun and games and the last thing I want is to constantly check if my tiny bikini is still there,lol...But a one piece should be on a sexy sice rather than a sporty side ( unless you're a serious swimmer,lol)...
Photobucket I am wearing: Christian Audigier Peacock One Piece Swimsuit The moment I say this swimsuit, I fell in love with it ... it is very comfortable and sits in all the right places. I don't think that any swimsuit ever made me feel as confident and feminine as this one ... if I could, I would wear it everyday. Photobucket
Besides the swimsuits....
My vacation wardrobe was all about cute dresses and my favorite Miss Trish of Capri Sandals (I love them, so much).... easy to wear and easy to look cute in. Photobucket I am wearing: Ella Moss Daisy Off Shoulder Dress Miss Trish of Capri Sandals Marc Jacobs Sunglasses Photobucket I am wearing: Wilfred Dress Miss Trish of Capri Sandals Ray Ban Wayfarers Marc Jacobs Sunglasses
Cute shorts are also perfect for the beach... just pair them with an adorable top, over your bikini and you're ready....
Photobucket I am wearing: Abercrombie &Fitch Shorts Abercrombie & Fitch Top Marc Jacobs Sunglasses Photobucket I am wearing: H&M Top Abercrombie & Fitch Shorts Miss Trish of Capri Sandals
As for my hair... well having wavy hair is a nightmare. However,I found that the easiest way to keep it looking neat and cute at the beach is by either french braiding it or putting it into a tony tail with a headband. For the night time, I usually let my hair out...but it was thanks to TIGI S-Factor Smooting Lusterizer and Bed Head Headrush that my hair remained glossy and shiny, instead of turning into a frizz ball.
Photobucket NIGHT TIME When the sun set, Cancun city came to life... The party atmosphere there is amazing and Andrew and I definately look advantage of that. Every night, we explored a new and amazing nightclub. Here are some of our memories... Photobucket
Photobucket
I am wearing: Maggie Ward Dress BCBG Max Azria Blazer Swarovski Love Charm Bracelet and Necklace Miss Trish of Capri Sandals
The Coco Bongo shows are incredible.... amazing, performance, wonderful atmosphere... and always extremely crowded
Photobucket As for wardrobe, I usually wore simple dresses with heels or flats... nothing too complicated. As for make up.... In a hot and humid climate, the last thing you want is to wear a ton of make up... half way through the night your face will be melting off - TRUST ME not a pretty sight ( and I saw a lot of it) Photobucket
I am wearing: Wilfred Dress Michael Kors Heels
Boy, do I wish that I was still there having the time of my life.... but instead, I am here.... freezing my behind off.This is the last part of my vacation post...
I wish you all a wonderful day !!!!
With Love... Marta

Gifts, Latex and Soia Kyo

On December 6, 2008 · 36 Comments · In Wear, Winter
Hello Darlings,

The moment I saw these latex babies, I knew that my world was changing.... I always thought that I would be the last person to wear latex anything, but here I am searching for a pair of latex tights...

While looking for a gift for my boyfriend, I found a new coat for myself by a chance. Yet another Soia&Kyo ( i love Soia Kyo jackets). Yes, I suck at buying gift for men... I feel like I have already given him all the classic manly gifts that a girlfriend can get. HELP!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="292" caption="so scandalous and alluring..."][/caption]  

I am wearing: Soia &Kyo Wool Coat in White Hayden Cashmere Dress Moschino Suede Gloves Michael Kors booties Gap Leather Purse Calvin Klein Opaque Tights in Black

Can you believe winter 2008 hasn't started and the designers are already showing Pre-Fall 2009 Collections. Am I the only one who feels like fashion is getting way tooooo far ahead of itself. I haven't had the time to look at all of the Spring 2009 collections and the fall is already out ... Are you serious? :S

I apologize for responding to your comments quickly... I can't wait to get Starbucks on Monday night and read all of your amazing blogs and respond to your sweet comments .I wish you all a fabulous weekend.
With Love... Marta
