Hello Darlings,
Although I avoid the topic of family, friends and relationships, those are the most important parts of my life. I feel very blessed with my family and the people that I have in my life. I am especially reminded of this during the holidays.
Being an immigrant, I am separated from my close family by an ocean and thousands of kilometers. Despite this, I remain incredibly close to them...this would explain why Ukraine is always my number one destination when I have free time to travel.Although I did not have all of the family members present, the traditions that we carry on in Canada really do bring everyone together. Being a practicing Greek-Catholic, I do attend church regularly and value my traditions. Keeping up with beliefs and values that have been around in my family for generations is one of the greatest blessings, therefore, the holiday seasons are filled with traditions, family and lots of food.
Therefore, with Easter weekend upon us; I was fully prepared for all of the festivities. And no, I am not referring to preparing the Easter basket that we traditionally bless at the church. I am referring to my wardrobe choices, naturally!
Hello Darling,
The other night I attended Liv's private soirée for bloggers, stylists and media. Co-hosted by Liv by Au Lit and the talented blogger Danielle of Final Fashion it was an interesting experience especially considering this was my first blog related party :) To see more pictures click here!

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.
...and to bring it all together with an adorable patent leather Coach wristlet courtesy of my parents.
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....
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
