Hello Darlings,
Last night Andrew and I and couple of friends attended a Gotstyle Menswear Made in Canada which was absolutely amazing, every piece in the multiple collections was perfection…The multiple collections that were presented were all very unique and beautiful, I loved it as did Andrew! We all had an amazing time at the show! Including a run into David Dixon… 
However I didn’t want to bother him and was to0 shy to ask for a photo!
At the Gotstyle Menswear Made in Canada Show
Since this was my first Fashion Week, my first impressions are quite wonderful. We came in a bit early, enjoyed some wine discussed the atmosphere and the others collections that our friends have seen…it was very busy and crowded! Some people were very friendly, other were not so polite…but most were very well dresses 
I though that it was a lot of fun and will definitely be returning next season, hopefully to see more show and to do less exam studying.I have always supported Canadian talent and artistic culture and will continue to do so.
The clothes were very clean cut and chic... I loved it. P.S. In the right corner, is Adamo Ruggiero from Degrassi wearing sunglasses.
Michael Landsberg, Ben Mulroney,Zain Meghi,David Clemmer, Bruce Turner, Jian Ghomeshi and Nico Archambault from You Think You can Dance Canada all walked the runway.

As many of your know I was a bit intimidated going since I wasn’t sure what to except. Initially, I think that people make a too big of a deal and hype around such events, in my eyes it is a wonderful opportunity to get out, support Canadian talents, enjoy yourself and your company. It is definitely a fun event and should be mostly enjoyed while trying to keep the stress levels to a minimum!!! It is a great experience and I am glad that I have had an opportunity to experience it!
I am wearing: Alexander Wang Dress; Wilfred Two-tone tights; Mackage Leane Leather Jacket; Pedro Garcia Mary Jane's; Luc Kiefer Ring
As for my outfit, well that was quite a dilemma since following the fashion show Andrew and I attended a birthday dinner and then a party. I settled for my safe choice, Alexander Wang dress but decided to pair with a pair of fun two-tone tights. Since it was cold and raining, I topped of my outfit with my Mackage leather jacket and my uber-comfortable Pedro Garcia mary janes. I was comfortable and felt great and that was the most important thing for me. Usually, when I am nervous about certain events…I settle for an outfit that I love and feel confident in. And this Alexander Wang dress is always my first choice. I love how simple and easy it is to wear…I don’t think that I will ever tire of it
Oooh, No it is pouring...no picture
Okay, maybe just one picture...
Well, I am off to study… I have yet another exam… to be exact a French mid-term.And then to catch a movie with Andrew.
P.S. I apologize for the commenting problems, things are back to normal!
I wish you all a beautiful weekend!!!
With Love…
Marta

the tights had such a fun twist to your dress.
thank you… i adore those tights
Good luck with your French! And I’m so jealous you got to go to a Fashion Week period! Perfect outfit choice.
Thank you
Hey Marta!
Congrats on going to your first show! Must have been so fun!
I love the colour of your dress, but was just wondering how you maintain your Mackage jacket after the rain.
I just got mine and since it’s practically been raining everyday in T.O , I’m scared to ruin it in the rain.
Just a question…
Anyways, good luck on your exams!!
Hi Juliana
It was great fun….
As for the Mackage jacket I have a post coming up regarding the maintenance. As for the rain, I wear my in the rain as well all the time….it’s fine just make sure to leave it out to dry. If you’re worried stop by a leather professional and see what they recommend! Maybe there’s a protective spray, just to do use the one you use for shoes
thank you for the luck!
you look great! I’d love to go to fashion week but alas, Im saving money for another event
thank you…. with fashion weeks, there’s always a next season. That’s why I was not rushing to see all of the shows but to just try it out one and see if I like the atmosphere.
you look real nice!
glad you had fun and liked it so much

thank you
I always loved that A wang dress on you! That criss-cross detailing at the front.. c’est génial! Bonne chance avec ton examen. Je me souviens des heures que j’ai etudie le français. Phew*
J’ai besoin de faire mon dernier cours de française cette été pour completer mon “mineur”. [le sigh]
P.S. Where did you purchase your domain name? I’m thinking of getting one during winter break so I can set it up, and make sure there are no glitches by New Years.
Thank you… I love it it too, probably too much
As for the domain name I have no idea, Andrew did it. Let me ask him and I will get back to you
The transition is such a pain in the behind 
Since you’re on blogspot you can just pay for it and get it instantly with no hassles. But we wanted the new blog on wordpress (not wordpress.com) which required that we not only get a domain name, but host the blog on a web server (i.e. Bluehost). I don’t recommend doing this unless you at least somewhat know what you’re doing.
Wow, so lucky! Fashion week is cancelled here
aww…. thank you. There’s always a next season
you look so nice!
thanks
LOVE the two tone tights and the outfit choice. Looks like you had a great time at Fashion Week!
thank you !
Great photos. Hope you’ve been enjoying the weekend. Cheers!
thank you
Both the show, and you look incredible
thanks!
looks wonderful!
I’m so jealous!
it was an interesting experience, but I do think that there’s to much hype around fashion weeks.
WOW ! it must have been an amazing experience , it has to be near the top of my list of things to do in life
you look beautiful and confident as always
thank you…. definitely, it was a very interesting experience.
I am absolutely loving your jacket! And that first runway look is so sharp, loving it. Hope you’re having a gorgeous weekend dear
thank you….that was my favorite look
I was so impressed as well with the shows this week, although sadly I didn’t get to see any in person! I was sad to see though that there was no show from Renata Morales at either this or Montreal fashion week, she is one of my absolute favourite Canadian designers.
The collections were truly amazing! I know I don’t understand why she didn’t show. Maybe she showed elsewhere, internationally :S
That Wang dress is KILLER. You look gorgeous and it sounds like you had a blast!
I am obsessed until this day with that dress…thank you
It’s lovely to know that you enjoyed your day!
Your ‘safe choices’ are great choices, as always!
Like Juliana, I’m interested in how you maintain your Mackage jacket. I just got mine, and it’s already got a slight surface scratch, and I literally cried, because I was babying it the whole time I was wearing it. I touched it up a bit with a dab of baby oil, but still… *sniffles* Has yours ever been scratched? If so, how did you fix it?
LOL… that’s lamb leather… supple, beautiful, but very delicate.
Hi Cordelia,
thank you…
As I’ve mentioned to Juliana, I have a post coming up on that. However, I must admit that I don’t have any scratches yet. But if it did happen, I would take it to a leather specialist.
So chic, Marta! That dress is the perfect color on a dreary day. So lovely combined with
I hope the test goes well for you today.
those tights and jacket — looks like a fun night!
Thank you Sarah!
