Malanka … :)

On January 12, 2009 · 25 Comments
Hello Darlings, Well, it has been an eventful and fun month... I couldn't have asked for more, expect the black tie event that I attended on Saturday. Which was amazing ...
The event is a yearly tradition within the Ukrainian community...it is also our New Years. This year was my third year attending it.... and it was truly an amazing way to finish an amazing holiday season. The event is known as Malanka.
Past Malanka's For my first Malanka I wore an amazing BCBG Max Azria dress....( My blonde days) As for the next year, I decided to wear a short, simple dress from Robert Rodriguez....
This Malanka...
The Alexander Wang dress that I bought back in October was specifically for this event...I paired it with my patent leather Ruthie Davis Swarovski encrusted shoes....

...and to bring it all together with an adorable patent leather Coach wristlet courtesy of my parents.
I am wearing: Alexander Wang Dress Ruthie Davis Swarovski encrusted patent leather heels Coach patent leather wristlet A.V.MAX studded cuff Diamond stud
I kept the jewelry to a minimum.... only a studded cuff and diamond studs. As for my hair... I got it done in a salon, but I wish I didn't. Every year, I say the same thing.... but always end up paying $70 to get my hair curled almost in the same way that I always wear it naturally, but this time I added a braid which looked like a headband but it was too small to see ....I was kind of disappointed. As for make up I kept it to a minimal ..... trying to stay away from the usual evening make up that people tend to wear to such events.....
I was going for a young, fresh and fun look....
P.S. More vacation wardrobe photos are coming up... :)
I wish you all a beautiful day!!!
With Love.... Marta

” Shoe whore” … :S

On July 8, 2008 · 20 Comments
Fashion designers are notorious for creating shoes that are impossible to walk on and it seems that lately stiletto's got taller and skinnier, platforms even more clunkier and the overall designs stranger than ever. Dangerous and outrageous footwear has become the latest must have. But the question is : HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR FASHION? Is it worth hurting yourselves for the sake of fashionable shoes?
When it comes to me, I am a " shoe whore" that has always wanted a pair of crazy, outrageous but ooh so beautiful heels that I would wear once in a blue moon. BUT... I would never sacrifice my feel for the sake of a crazy trend, neither would I ever buy a pair that was uncomfortable ( the reason why I mostly wear Kors, since they are crazy - comfortable). As a compromise between obsession and comfort, I set out to find a classic pair with a twist... which to me seemed impossible.... But that changed when I came across a beautiful pair of Davis by Ruthie Davis Mary Jane's. Ruthie Davis designs hold technological innovation, architectural precision, and a sleek aesthetic sensibility - in one word, they are WORKS OF ART that come with quite a price tag ( cost between $600-800). I could not resist the shoes or a fact that they were on sale. Although they are in a classic Mary Jane style, they do come with a twist that I was craving. The shoes are smalto pearlized patent leather with a 4.5" architectural heel that is accented with Swarovski crystals and contains a chrome metal insert. I love the shoes so much and still obsess about them...
