Exploring the ROM… part 1

On September 5, 2008 · 24 Comments · In Uncategorized
Hello Darlings, I'm not sure it I should call this a fashion post .... but anyways, as I've mentioned, I went to the Royal Ontario Museum(ROM) this weekend. I will openly admit that I"m a sucker for museums and galleries .... Andrew and I spent the day in the museum and have decided to come back in couple of weeks to finish the rest of the exhibitions... later on we went to grab some dinner at charming little bistro near by... and to me that is an idea Saturday :) Although my outfit is nothing special, it was incredibly comfy .... walking around the museum for hours + no foot pain at all = a very happy girl!!! However, Finding parking a b*tch in downtown ..... :P

The ROM is the 5th largest museum in North America, containing more than 6 million items and over 40 galleries. It is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion project, dubbed Renaissance ROM. The centerpiece is the recently opened Michael Lee-Chic Crystal, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind and Bregman +Hamann Architects. Here are some of my favorite photos from the featured exhibitions : Enjoy :D

In my part 2 of Exploring the ROM... I will feature their new exhibition on textiles and tailoring as well as art piece that inspired one of my favorite couture collections .... Talk to you soon :)

20th Birthday Celebration

On September 2, 2008 · 31 Comments · In Family, Life As It Happens, Summer, Wear
Hello Darlings,

I enjoyed a perfect 20th birthday celebration with a monster chocolate cake and some intimate time with my loved ones.

I also spent my weekend with Andrew at the cottage, spending time by the beach and partying with friends. Monday (on my birthday) we had dinner with my parents, and today, we went out for Japanese food in the cutest area of Toronto. A four day celebration is not sooo bad ... lol.
As for my birthday outfit (the date night outfit), I wore a Chix dress by Maggie Ward together with my BCBG Max Azria Tuxedo Blazer and Michael Kors Ankle Boots.

Andrew's lobster is on fire, lol .... the dinner was so much fun. Although, this was not our fist time there, it's always fun to go back :)

 

I am wearing:

Chix Dress by Maggie Ward

BCBG Max Azria Tuxedo Blazer

Michael Kors Ankle Boots

A.V. Max New York Cuff

Kimberly Baker Jewelry Necklace

Gifts Time
As for my gift, I received a beautiful Canon Camera and accessories from Andrew, it's super tiny and pink .... he always gives the greatest gifts!
 

My parents got me a day at the spa, a super cute scarf, make up, redecorated my room including my closet, and of course lots of Godiva chocolate (my fav.) I also received Dior goodies from my best friend and more Godiva. Thank you all for such a wonderful birthday :) Lots of love .... MWAH

With Love...

Tragic Story …. and Rhys Dwfen

On August 19, 2008 · 23 Comments · In Culture, Fall, Go, Wear
Hello Darlings,

This is what happened.... I ordered the red dress (picture below) to wear on my 20th birthday and received it about two weeks ago. It was a little long (see the pic), so I took it to be hemmed....

Well, it's been a week AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? The dress is now a shirt. It went from 35 inches to 19. Instead of taking off 1 inch they took off about 16 inches.... Kill me now, who makes that kind of a mistake....

I was so upset I cried, and what's worse the tailor is saying the dress shrunk. Come on, isn't that why we take stuff for dry cleaning ?????? SO IT DOES NOT SHRINK? I promise to post pics of the SHIRT DRESS as soon as I get it back and tell you the ending of this tragic story. So I resorted to on-line retail therapy at Active Endeavors... and found:

1. Harrow Shirt by Totem 2. Willie Scoop Knit Dress by Rhys Dwfen 3. Chix Dress by Maggie Ward NOW, it a matter of waiting for them to arrive and hopefully before my B-day. And now on to my weekend .......
Although, I am not a hopeless romantic ... my boyfriend - who's real name is Andrew - does like to surprise with the most romantic things, randomly.This time, he surprised me with tickets to " Dirty Dancing". The night was perfect and " I had the time of my life" ( cheezy phase, but it is from the movie)...
I didn't take the pictures at the show because I forgot my camera at home ... but here's my outfit.
I am wearing: - Hayden Cashmere Dress - Jucity Couture Mary Jane's - Dove Necklace by Kimberly Baker Jewelry - A.V.Max New York Studd Cuff

By the way, welcome to my closet. Is a complete crazy mess,

but my excuse is I am still renovating my room.

With Love...

Marta
