♥Dropping by Sporting Life to pick up a swim-cap
♥Dropping by Winners and picking up few things on a wicked sale.

♥Blogging!!!
The day was packed with activities which required a comfortable outfit that I could slip into and out of (makes shopping sooo much easier).... and of course my favorite Candela oxfords-I love these babies, they are sooooo comfortable and versatile. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! You guys are probably getting tired of seeing them, but I just can't help myself.
I am wearing: Necessary Objects Cotton Jumpsuit; Talula Wool Blazer;Candela Tokyo Oxfords; Tungsten Rings courtesy Superior Wedding Rings Jewelers; A.V. Max Cuff; H&M Bow Headband.
And a casual day required a casual and easy hair style.... I tend to get annoyed with my long hair constantly falling into my face. Although I really love how long it is and I am still growing it out, I do get frustrated with all the care and nurturing that goes into it. Ever since I started swimming, chlorine has been getting the best of it...
As for the nail polish that I am wearing... it was a little gift from one of my girlies. It is the most perfect shade of pastel pink-OPI Mod About You.
I would also like to thank all of you for your Las Vegas suggestions.... they are very helpful, since I am a complete organization freak and always have everything planed out.

Hello Darlings,
Just returned from a romantic weekend getaway at Niagara Falls. It was a much needed getaway for Andrew and I to enjoy each others company.
A quick escape nearby can be way better as a couple than is a huge vacation and this was one of those cases.We stayed at the 80 year old Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls (opened in 1927), not only because I was fascinated with the history and its unique architecture but also because Marilyn Monroe stayed there when filming "Niagara"in 1952.
I am not a big fan of generic modern day hotels for a romantic weekend getaway. I prefer staying at a place with a proud history and character. On another note, The Falls are mesmerizing... stunning but the power of it scares me at times.
The surrounding areas have beautiful landscapes and architecture. Very picturesque, rugged but beautiful. During the day it was fun to grab Starbucks and chocolate fudge and wander around for hours., so I wore my favorite jumpsuit and flats.... super comfy!
I am wearing
Necessary Objects cotton jumpsuit
A & F Sweater
As for the night, we went out for dinner at The Keg Restaurant (on the 9th floor of Embassy Suites Hotel). The view is fantastic and the food great. As for the rest of the night, we had some fun at Fallsview casino.
As for my date night out outfit, I wore mostly black with a sequin top. The most exciting part of the outfit was the shoes... I finally had a chance to wear them out. I love them to death.
I am wearing:
Mackage Leane Leather Jacket
Michael Kors Heels
Coach Patent Leather Wristlet
Seriously, I love Andrew's shoes as much as I mine... He's got awesome taste in fashion... :)
Everyone couple needs some alone time... and our Niagara Falls romantic getaway was perfect.
I wish you all a lovely Sunday!!!
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
I'm not sure what it is about the harem pants that I love, but when you join harem and jumpsuit... well that's a whole different love story. I though that I would be the last person to wear harem pants or jumpsuit...but look what happened!?!?
I picked up this über ( one of my favorite German words, and boy do I abuse it) awesome jumpsuit few days ago and man-o-man is it comfortable. Actually, it's like wearing the most comfortable pair of sweatpants outside... not that I ever would, but you get my point, lol. It is also perfect thing to go shopping in ( quick slip off, slip on), which is where I wore this outfit...
I finally had chance to bring out my Juicy flats out of their winter hibernation...I love them to death and it still amazed how new they look ( I've been wearing them for a year)...definitely worth every penny. Love Juicy shoes, super comfortable and the quality is always amazing.
I am wearing: Necessary Objects cotton jumpsuit; Mackage Leather Jacket; Juicy Couture Ballerinas; A.V. Max Studded Cuff; Diamond Studs; Ray Ban Wayfarers
So what is feminine?
As I am doing my research on Lorenzo Lotto's Portrait of the Lady as Lucretia and trying to establish what was seen as feminine/masculine in women in the 1500s, I found this interesting quote by Baldassar Castiglione and though that I would share it with you:" Leggiadria is nothing other... than the observation of an unspoken law, given and promulgated by nature to you women, in moving, behaving, and using thus the whole persona as also the individual members, with grace, modesty, gentleness, measure, elegance, in such a way that no movement, no action, shall be without moderation, without manner, or without design; but, as this unspoken law compels, ordered, composed, regulated, gracious; which law, because it is not written elsewhere but in certain natural judgment that neither knows of itself nor it able to render judgment, if not that nature wishes thus, I have wished to call "unspoken"; which law nevertheless, because books can not teach it nor practice demonstrate it, it not observed commonly by all beautiful women..."
- "Dialog on the Beauty of Women" by Angolo Firenzuola, 1541
I love reading " Renaissance guide books for women on how to be a woman" written by men. It makes you realize exactly where these stereotypes and generalization came from....well now I know, from men like Castiglione and Firenzuola who spend their life's telling how to become a feminine woman and to be more appealing.
Countdown: 2 essays down 2 more to go and 2 more exams and a month until my vacation ....
I wish you all a beautiful Monday!!!!
With Love...
Marta
