Henry Duarte Q65…

Hello Darlings,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Mine was packed with social events and outfit struggles. But I managed to get through it with a certain amount of satisfaction: P I will certainly share the looks with you, as always.

I wore this out for a night out with one of my girlies. We actually got custom made cookies (Andrew’s and my latest dessert discovery) and of course there was lots and lots of girl talk. I settled for a simple and comfy outfit which I spiced up with my new Henry Duarte Q65 lamb leather blazer from the fall/winter collection 2009 that my parents got me for Christmas. I couldn’t wait until spring to wear it out! Plus, it worked so beautifully with my Marc Jacobs Bleecker Street tee.

This blazer is a classic piece, but it makes a bold statement. The classic kimono cut is very flattering and simple, while the soft leather gives it an unexpected touch. It is also a great addition to my BCBG tuxedo blazer that has served me for the last couple of seasons, and that I still adore.

I am wearing: Marc by Marc Jacobs Bleecker Street Tee ( from M by MJ store on Bleecker Street, New York); Henry Duarte Q65 Lamb Leather Blazer ( a gift from my parents); Blank Leggings (from Liv by Au Lit); Marc by Marc Jacobs Purse ( from M by MJ store on Bleecker Street, New York); Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Earrings ( from Bloomingdales Soho, New York); A.V.Max Studded Cuff (from Bluefly.com); American Apparel Headband in Metallic Silver ( AA store, Sherway Gardens); Stella McCartney Sock Booties ( a gift from parents).

As I’ve mentioned before, I do not like to buy lots of pieces but rather a few that will truly stand out and serve me for a long time. I do not think that it is necessary to always wear something new, but rather believe in working with the pieces one already has. I know that many style blogs do not publish the same pieces many times over but I refuse to follow in these steps, as I think that it is impossible for a student (such as myself) or a young professional to continuously purchase new items. With this in mind, I’ve made it my goal to proudly wear the same pieces in different combinations. I am excited to introduce my latest classic, a piece I look forward to sharing with you over and over again.

In order to complete this look, I pulled my hair up into a messy ballet bun and secured the flyaway’s with a sparkly hair band, which is a nice touch to a gray/black outfit. This also gave me an opportunity to boldly display my beloved Miss Marc earrings, which receive quite a bit of attention in their own right. These have becomes my “classic-with-a-twist” piece.

Now a question goes out to you:

Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Monday!!!

With Love...

It’s actually a personal struggle for me. Re-wearing is something I think twice about, especially if it’s something of a very unique colour — like it’s recognizable if I wear it twice a month. I know I shouldn’t care, and that no one cares if I wear the same thing in the same week. But still, there’s that bothersome voice in me that leaves a particular article of clothing in the closet after wearing it once.

Such a sweet Tee! BTW I just bought the hair oil you recommended (Marakesh Oil). I am looking forward to gorgeous shiny tresses. If you ever get time can you do a jewelry/accessories collection. I just want to see more of these tasteful Miss Marc esque jewelry.

great outfit marta!

but do you know that you have a butt on your shirt!?

ps. i know you have constantly said that you like dressing in muted colors such as black and white and gray, but how do you shop when you want to add color to your wardrobe? I was having this problem in the store earlier. thanks!

  Hi Anonymous,
  I know that is supposedly Marc Jacobs butt on the shirt, at least that’s what the sales rep in his store told me
  
  The only times I buy color is when I really love it, the color and then cut should always compliment your wardrobe. If I really love the color, like I did with my Marc by MArc JAcobs Miss MArc tee, I think of the different ways I am going to wear it. If it works then I buy it, if I know for a fact that it won’t then I don’t buy it. If you’re not sure, buy it and try it out at home. If you don’t like it, then return it).
  I’ve been trying to add more color to my wardrobe and the easiest way for me to do is with accessories ( scarfs, gloves, rings, and cuffs) or with tee shirts ( they are not too big of a commitment).
  
  If you have any other question… do not hesitate to ask

You must not hate leggings anymore! I remember way back that you said you preferred not to wear them. Either way, the outfit is 5 stars as usual Marta.

  Hi Hailey,
  Nope, still not a fan of leggings at all. But jeggings work so well with boots and booties. They are made of denim but are a little softer and come much closet around the knee and cuff (reason why they work so well with boots). I do not feel naked in them, but I still feel very naked in leggings
