Hello Darlings,
Despite the beautiful fall weather, I am feeling quite under the weather with sniffles and the whole shazam 
But I am back with a quick outfit post from this Friday. Despite a fun weekend of shopping, dinners, lunches, and birthdays with my girlies… I had zero luck in the shopping department. After a Saturday afternoon of shopping, I came home with only a book :S. However, I was quite excited to get my hands on the new Nina Garcia book, Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion. Which is quite informative and always super fun to read!
Another great piece of information that I wanted to share was this awesome list of stores and services in Toronto that are recommended by Jeanne Beker. For those who are not familiar, Jeanne Beker is a host of Fashion Television and is one of the most iconic and influential women in the fashion industry in Canada and around the world. It’s definitely worth checking out

As for me, well…I’ve been living in flats. In all honestly, I can’t remember the last time that I wore heels. I just love wearing riding and ankle boots…something about them is so empowering and easy! Although heels will always dominate my closet, I do think that flats can be just as fabulous. What do you think…it’s always a dilemma for me!
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
I think that in a wrong situation, heels can ruin an outfit. There are times when heels look forced and out of place. However, when it comes to a pair of beautiful riding boots or stunning ballerinas, I think that those can work for just about any situation. Although, of course… I love heels! I do think that flats can have an exact effect as heels if worn in a right setting. To me, a pair of beautiful ballerinas can look very refreshing in an unexpected situation such as a cocktail party. But at the end of the day, it’s all about the woman and her attitude that will make a statement and no shoe can have the same effect. What’s your take….I am dying to find out. My opinion changes daily on this topic, so today I am favoring flats What about you???
For the rest of the look, I went make-up free with just a touch of lip gloss and my favorite trench.I feel that no matter how disheveled you feel and how little time you have, a trench always makes one look pulled together. This was exactly my case on Friday, when I slept in and had a test . Quick shower, followed by the easiest possible outfit, I was ready take on Canadian art. Although this is not the most glamorous or fashion forward outfit…I do think that it’s important that I share honest outfits that I actually do wear everyday, rather than choreographing a “shoot”. In all honestly, I hate the idea of creating looks that are meant specifically for the blog, I feel like it’s lying to the readers.
Well, I am off to finishing my assignment… look forward to some exciting posts coming up
Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Monday!!!
With Love…
Marta

Overall, I prefer heels, although I too have my fair share of flats. Flats can be equally elegant als heels, they just have to fit my mood, outfit and the occasion
Hope you feel better soon, Marta! I couldn’t agree more, it’s definitely the attitude that has a big impact on an outfit:) I think flats could definitely have the same effect as heels;) Love that you also showcase outfits you wear on a daily basis! Have a great week, Marta!

I love flats for comfort but prefer heels for the way they look
I think it’s a good idea to post outfits that you actually wear, I never wear outfits just for the blog. I snap them before I am about to go out somewhere 
Mmh AND beyond this “Fetish debate” I must say that I can’t help to see in your flaming mane such a (striking) Fall’s Allegory Dear Marta !!!
ps: I think that a feet finery’s “Trendy appeal” kindly is a question of context, stays in (versatile) stylish associations too . . .

It’s Toronto Fashion Week! I thought we’d definitely see some posts of what shows you’d go see and how excited you are for it!
Hi Hailey,
I was planning on attending a few events but ended up getting sick, however I did have an opportunity to attend a fashion show at a private event that featured the works of Alexander Wang, Diane von Furstenberg, and Elizabeth and James this week. Unfortunately, I will not be covering Toronto Fashion Week but I hope that you had an opportunity to attend a few
