Hello Darlings,

What girl wouldn't want to re-live her prom, now that she is older and wiser!

My prom in the summer of 2006 was a dream come true but given the chance to do it again, I avoided the drama and a hefty price tag. Whether you're in high-school and getting ready for prom, in university and going to semi-formal, or you're all grown up and attending a gala. Despite the different walks in life, every girl shares the same desire to feel beautiful for that special occasion.

Hello Darlings,

As a long time fan of Swarovski jewelry, it was a pleasure to attend Swaroski Crystal Forest Gala on April 12, 2012. Located at Toronto's most prominent fashion address, Bloor-Yorkville store re-opened its doors to the public with a stunning new look, Crystal Forest.

Developed by the renowned Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka, the Crystal Forest concept allows shoppers to experience the elegant atmosphere that reflects seductive brilliance of a crystal. A first Crystal Forest store opened its doors in Ginza, Japan on March 29th, 2008. Yoshioka used the forest as a key inspiration to express the intimate relationship between crystals and nature.

Hello Darlings,

The other night I was invited to celebrate Fashion Magazine's launch of Calvin Klein's Beauty perfume at the Terrace Room at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto.

Along with 49 media representatives, I had an opportunity to attend a press conference and listen to perfumer Sophie Labbé and Senior Manager Global Marketing Stephanie Schwab discuss the concept behind their iconic new scent.Following the press conference, the space was transformed into a gallery-like setting that featured five photographic interpretations of a calla lily. The exhibit served as a backdrop to a fabulous soirée that was attended by 175 guests.

Overall,the night was flawless! And the company of Chantelle from Bellechantelle and Helene made the night!

Underneath it all…

On July 2, 2009 · 16 Comments · In Uncategorized
Hello Darlings, After few hours of French and three shots of espresso ( I love espresso) and 25 pages of Vanity Fair... I ventured out for some fresh air and ended up at my favorite shopping mall. It was exactly 4:30 pm and the mall was still nearly empty... happy joy joy!!! I love shopping when everyone is busy...
Since it was a pretty casual day, I chose a pretty casual outfit. Nothing complicated but rather simple in blacks and whites. I can never get bored of black and white combination...
Ever since my Members Only bomber came in I can't stop wearing it, it is a perfect summer substitute for my favorite Mackage Leather Jacket. Not only is it light, but also water-prof making it ideal for Canadian unexpected weather.
Anyways, back to shopping.... I was then joined by my mommy for some innocent mother-daughter time while shopping. Honestly with sales like these it is impossible to avoid malls. All you see is SALE SALE SALE in windows of your favorite stores. After an hour or two... I found two of the most perfect bralets and an ideal sheer tee. Well, I can hardly call them finds... because I had my eye set on them for a while now :P The SALE part sealed the deal!
I am wearing: Members Only Nylon Bomber; Club Monaco Semi-Sheer Top; J Brand Jeans; Bloch Patent Leather Ballerinas; Gustto Cokera Purse; Swarovski Heart Necklace ( a gift from Andrew); A.V. Max Cuff; Diamond Studs (a gift from parents); Ray Ban Wayfarers ( a gift from Andrew).
Underneath it all
I've finally grown more comfortable with semi-sheer... and I am finally ready to debut my pretty bra collection. Honestly, with bras that they make today it is a crime to keep them all to yourself. A little peek here and there is what these beauties deserve.
I recommend D&G, they are exquisite. Pricey but when on sale they are impossible not to buy.Tasteful and simple, they are perfect for semi-sheer tops or just to keep a secret underneath it all. And most of all ladies, they are also very comfortable... none of that "lacy-discomfort".
Yummy...
Stella McCartney Lauren Whistling Bra; La Perla Lace and Silk Soft-Cup Bra; Dolce&Gabbana Leopard-print Balconette Bra. Having a beautiful little secret underneath it all is a guilty pleasure of most women. My only problem is the price of these little pleasures.
Is lingerie your guilty pleasure??? Do you think that it is worth "splurging" on it??? What is your spending limit on lingerie???
Personally, I prefer to buy it on sale otherwise spending so much on so little is a bit of out my reach.However, it does make a perfect gift from the special someone... * Hint hint, nudge nudge to male readers* ( hehe)
Happy Friday Everyone!!!
With Love... Marta
