Hello Darlings,
In the year 1988, power was "in" and so the fashion experts talked about " power dressing". Twenty years later, the debate over 80's power-style in fashion has spent two decades at the back of the closet. The phenomena has returned as Women are climbing the ladder to political power and the fashion press is analyzing the style of powerful people.
On runways of fall/winter 2008, power dressing is very much on display: several designers allude to strong career women or flirt with the 80s stereotype of power hungry secretaries.The season is unusually buttoned-up and the style is more individualistic, representing competence, independence and strength in different ways.
Whether you are working or in school, dressing the part is important. As for me, my day was rather important as I had classes and several meeting with professors. Therefore, I wanted to dress all at once young / casual / appropriate. But when nerves get the best of you and an inspiration is nowhere to be found ... what can a girl do? Turn to black.....
I AM WEARING:
J Brand jeans
BCBG Max Azria Blazer
Roots Scarf
Juicy Couture Mary Janes
What are your thoughts on power dressing?
What are your go-to pieces?
Hope you are enjoying the first days of autumn.
And for my German- speaking friends I would like to say "Vielen Dank !!!"
(the only thing I remember from German class)
With Love,
Marta

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
I am wearing :
Torn Tank
Abercrombie & Fitch Shrug
J Brand Skinnies
A.V. Max New York Cuff
Gap Purse
Juicy Couture Flats
Chanel Sunglasses

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 :
