Converse Fall 2011 Preview

On June 21, 2011 · 15 Comments · In Events, Go, Wear
Hello Darlings,

In my opinion, running shoes should not grace the feet of woman outside her exercise routine. I am not suggesting that all athletic footwear is a fashion faux pas, since as we all know there are exceptions to every re with every rule.

One of those exceptions you can explore is the Converse brand. Nowhere near faux pas status, their all-American shoe is an icon, so popular that according to surveys 60% of Americans claim to have owned a pair at some point in their lives.

Although created as basketball shoe almost 100 years ago, it was not until the 1950’s that Converse shoes graced the feet of some of the world’s biggest stars. Converse earned its iconic status on the feet of The Beach Boys, James Dean and Elvis. In the 21st century, Converse also holds a prominent place in many women’s closets along with the Louboutins and Manolos.

Last Thursday, I had attended a media preview for the Converse Fall 2011 collection and went ga-ga over the Dr. Seuss kids’ edition shoes. Who wouldn’t want to wear anything that states “I don’t like green eggs and ham”? As for the men’s collection, the John Varvattos kicks were AMAZING!

I am wearing:
♥ Talula Babaton Silk Blouse
♥ Club Monaco Zowie Skirt
♥ Aldo Basenji Cotton Clutch
♥ Pretty Ballerinas Flats in Glow
♥ Michael Kors Watch
♥ Marc by Marc Jacobs " House of Cards Court Harem" ring set
♥ Chanel Sunnies
♥ Carrying a Converse Backpack

As for me, I wore my favorite neon Pretty Ballerinas to the event. I figured that a lunch event called for a simple blouse and my newly favorite Club Monaco Zowie skirt with a pop of color courtesy of my shoes and nail color.

What is your favorite way to wear Converse Sneakers?

Pretty Ballerina Flats

On July 7, 2009 · 21 Comments · In Summer, Wear
Hello Darlings,

It's a very hot day in Toronto, and I have a busy day ahead with a mixed agenda including a morning appointment at the hairdresser's, an afternoon at the art gallery and professor's office, and then dinner and drinks at the chic Yorkville neighborhood. It makes no sense coming home to change between appointments, so choosing a fitting wardrobe for all this is a dilemma.

I am wearing:

Armani Exchange Silk Blouse

Donna Karan Silk Cami

Talula Shorts

Pretty Ballerina Flats

Juicy Couture Laptop Bag

Diamond Ring courtesy Ice.com Jewelers

What I came up with was comfortable, simple and hopefully cute. A pair of Talula shorts that are comfortable to wear but do not look sloppy, Pretty Ballerina flats for all of the running around and to add a pop of color, and a silk blouse from Armani Exchange to make it more chic and pulled together. And as a final touch, my trusty Juicy Couture laptop bag for computer and all the papers needed today.

This is my so called work station.:P I started to make a re-do, finished the painting, got my bathroom re-done and the walk it closet. But I have NOOO idea what to do with my work station - so frustrating.

Anyways, I'm off to do some research... I responsible for an upcoming exhibit catalog, which is a lot of work but interesting.

Please check out my Elle Canada contest page here and here. Kisses for your support!
I wish you all a lovely day!!!
With Love... Marta

Ukraine in Ella Moss

On May 11, 2009 · 15 Comments · In Fly, Shopping, Summer, Wear

Hello Darlings,

It’s been a hectic week and my jet lag is driving me crazy. But the best part of the journey, so far, is the beautiful nature of Ukrainian countryside, the amazingly warm weather and the charm of the city. I finally had a chance to take out my summer wardrobe and embrace the warm weather, and wear my favorite Ella Moss dress.

 

 

I am wearing: Ella Moss Dress; Pretty Ballerina Flats; A.V.Max. Gold Studded Cuff.

 
As more time goes by and my exploration takes off, I will post more often. However, replying is still difficult since the internet connection is painfully slow. I would like to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone.
