American Apparel Disco Pants

On December 29, 2008 · 23 Comments
Hello Darlings,

I leave for a vacation to Mexico tomorrow, and have a day full of girly things. But first, I want to share photos of my outfit today in my American Apparel disco pants....

For my trip, I bought a pair of Michael Kors Patent Leather Oxfords and couldn't wait to wear them with my new American Apparel Disco pants....

I am bringing this outfit to Cancun Mexico to wear to the night clubs. Although it's a little risque, I love experimenting and these pants are definitely out there for me.

I am wearing:

BCBG Max Azria Blazer

Guess Corset

American Apparel Disco Pants

Accessories & Beyond Elastic Bracelet Set in Black & Gold

A.V. Max Gold Studded Cuff

Michael Kors Patent Leather Oxfords

And to inspire my packing, I am taking Victoria Beckham's advice about what to bring. Here's two quotes from " That Extra Half an Inch"....

"Don't bother with flashy designer luggage.There's a good chance it could get stolen as it attracts attention..."

" Always bring a dressy outfit as you just never know where your holiday might take you..."

I try to stick to the formula of bringing something casual ( plain T-shirts, miniskirts), something classic ( nice V-necks, a pencil skirt and a plain dress) and then something a bit more out there for some fun."

I wish you all a lovely day!!!

With Love... Marta

Twilight New Moon… and Snow Day

On December 21, 2008 · 21 Comments
Hello Darlings,

I am almost finished reading New Moon (2nd Twilight book). I am in LOVE with the books, and thank everyone for encouraging me to read them. and here are my thoughts:

  The movie did not do justice to the book, the characters are amazing and when they say that the authors bring them to life in their novels,this novel goes beyond that. I am on the part where Bella just jumped off the clif and Jacob found her, so I am eager to get back to reading to find out how this book will end. Seriously, THESE BOOKS ARE INCREDIBLE and I definitely recommended reading them.

On to my outfit... It's snowing non stop and - 20 degrees, so for the extreme cold weather I wore a thick knit sweater with a warm jacket. And for my big secret, I wear ski socks under my boots to stay warm. My feet stay toasty warm and I can wear any kind of boots...

Well I'm off to bed and to finish reading New Moon ...
I wish you all a Wonderful Day !!!
With Love... Marta

Cashmere Scarves per Victoria Beckham

On December 18, 2008 · 20 Comments
Hello Darlings,

"Long chunky scarves look really beautiful and I recommend Louis Vuitton and Burberry..... I prefer my scarves in plain colour blocks, but colorful striped ones look equally good." - Victoria Beckham

The first thing I did when buying Victoria Beckham's book “That Extra Half an Inch” was to read the "winter" section, and in particular the section on scarves. Although I really do like Victoria - and her book is a fun read - some of her suggestions are a tiny bit ridiculous. I mean really, does she think every girl has a couple hundred dollars to spend on scarves by Louis Vuitton or Burberry?

Victoria does mention Gap for colorful scarves. But really I wonder if she has ever even been to Gap (just a random thought... :) Still, I really do love her style and in no way is this a critique of her personal choice, but only my personal opinion. Since I am pretty sure that few people who can buy Louis Vuitton and Burberry scarves like I buy my Starbucks...

My favorite Fall 2008 Runway Looks

Since not everyone has the pop star budget like Victoria Beckham, my recommendation for scarves on a budget is Club Monaco. They currently have cashmere scarves on sale $60, and they are really long and cozy and the quality of cashmere is great. I have a few Club Monaco cashmere pieces and they look great after a winter or two.

I am wearing: Autumn Cashmere cashmere dress Club Monaco cashmere scarf 80%20 Jackie Hidden Wedge Crinkled Patent Leather Boots Accessories & Beyond Gold Bracelets Calvin Klein Opaque Tights
.

Another thing I recommend is to wear a thin slip under a cashmere dress, since they tend to cling to the body. A pretty slip will make the dress sit better, without riding up or clinging. Call me old, fashioned but investing in a pretty silk slip is a must for any woman.

Thank you all for your lovely comments! Thanks especially to the lovely Nita - Karoliina for the amazing award.

With Love... Marta

Getting Glam with Alexander Wang

On October 29, 2008 · 39 Comments

Hello Darlings,

" Anyone can get all dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress

in their off days, that are most intriguing." - Alexander Wang

The dress is Alexander Wang - from his first full ready-to-wear Spring 2007 collection.'Till this day, it's my favorite Alexander Wang collection... the sheer fabrics, the gentle colors, and the girly look is PERFECTION. When I saw this dress, I had to have it. My style preference is girly chic over grungy chic....

Although the dress is totally "me", I experimented with my make up with inspiration from Burberry Prorsum Spring 08 show. Since my dress, was very girly, light, and pastel... I wore light make up with a touch of purple.

Got to Love TORONTO at night!!!

I bought this dress for a gala in January, but couldn't wait until then to wear it. So I wore it to my friends birthday bash on Saturday. Made of beautiful chiffon and with impeccable detailing, this dress is a dream and the tights are another new obsession :)

I am wearing: Alexander Wang Blush Dress - $465,on sale for $220 Soia & Kyo Z Wool Coat - $330 Michael Kors Booties - $230 Trasparenze Tights - $32 Gap Leather Bag - $210 Moschino Sued Gloves - a gift from mom A.V. Max Studded Cuff - $56, on sale for $28 Diamond/Platinum Studs - a gift from mommy and daddy
Paired with my Soia&Kyo jacket...
