Climbing with Givenchy Floral Tights

Hello Darlings,

One of my favorite blogs, Your Everyday Style featured WithLoveGabrielle as an Image of the Moment. Thanks a million to the lovely TINA. And as for my weekend, I wore this Maggie Ward dress with adorable Givenchy floral tights for a dinner date with Andrew on Saturday... :)

On Friday, we also went climbing, and I finally bought climbing SHOES. Yup, we are equipped to explore wilderness when the time is right. I am so excited to take it outside, that we committed to climb twice a week.

I love the thrill of rock climbing, but the downside is HAND BLISTERS and KNEE BRUISES. Last week I got a blister and freaked out. So now I obsessively moisturize and do a mani pedi after climbing. AM I TOO GIRLY FOR THIS HOBBY ? I mean, I climb in purple outfit with a purple bow headband ... all I need to do is powder my nose between the climb...

I am wearing: Hayden Cashmere Dress - $325, on sale for $93.45 Talula Wool Blazer - $148 Juicy Couture Italian Leather Boots - $622, on sale for $360 A.V.Max Cuff - $58, on sale for $28 H&M Headband - $3.99 Givenchy Floral Tights - $15
VOGUE = KAPUT?
Also, I bought Vogue and In Style last week, and realized how much I don't like Vogue anymore. I used to " worship" the magazine, but all it is now is designer ads that you have to pay to see. There's nothing to read. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THIS WAY? But there's a bigger reason why this was my last issue. I am a big animal lover and humane society volunteer. AND I strongly disagree with Anna Wintor's Vogue fur spreads, pro-fur editorials, and refusal of paid ads from animal protection groups. PETA member Pink sent a handwritten letter to Wintour, urging her to drop fur promotion in her magazine.  
90210 in IN STYLE
I also bought In Style and loved it. I loved this photo spread photographed by Pamela Hanson and styled by Elizabeth Stewart, featuring Lori Loughlin and Shanae Grimes - from the new 90210. Although I am not that in love with 90210 ( I did adore the old version), I do love this photo spread :)

I don't share my clothes with my mom. DO YOU?

WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY MONDAY :)

Overwhelmed with Excitement: Karen Essex

On August 26, 2008 · 40 Comments · In Books, Culture, Go, Spring, Wear

Hello Darlings,

Today has been really exciting, as I received a surprise e-mail from author Karen Essex of my favorite book, Leonardo's Swans... (I jumped around my room *blush blush*) how often do you receive "thanks for reading my book" from an author? Not only is she an award-winning journalist, a screen writer, and author of two acclaimed biographical novels, Kleopatra and Pharaoh, but Karen is also a fashion lover, who "never felt the need to look like a frumpy writer" and who views fashion "as theater, and another art form to enjoy."

I've been fascinated with the story of Leonardo's Swans and have spent my free time researching about Isabella and Beatrice d'Este. I am extremely excited to start reading Stealing Athena which also focuses on art and architecture ..... Check this out:

Thank you Karen Essex for dedicating your time to write such a wonderful book that demonstrates and exposes the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci - and for my quick hello... As for today's outfit, I am wearing my new shirt from Totem.

Photobucket,

I've never owned any article of clothing in such bright colors before.

Once I saw it ... I had to have it, I love the colors :)

Hello Darlings,


I was watching reruns of Gossip Girl (HUGE fan) while getting ready to finally see Sex and the City Movie with my mother. In the second episode Blair wore this white eyelet dress and it inspired me to wear mine. Since, it was a girls night out I decided to dress a bit girly :)



Although Sex and the City movie did not quite meet my expectation ( even though the scenery was beautiful), I had the best time with my mom.









I AM WEARING:


Talula from Aritzia Dress


Michael Kors wedges

 


What did you think of the Sex and the City movie?


With Love...


Marta
