Cyber Monday

11/20/2011

Muubaa Leather Jacket/ Halston Heritage Faux Fur Gilet/ Cello Dark Denim Skinny Jeans/ House of Harlow 1960 Velvet Stud Ankle Boot/ TOPSHOP Leather Belted Bag

The end of Black Friday Sales, but the shopping continues with Cyber Mondays! There's still plenty of time to stock up on your Winter Wardrobe or splurge on a few luxuries:). I've completely gone shoe crazy this shopping season. But still a lot more items on my wish list. Above is just a set that I'd love to wear on a day out downtown with some friends. I think the look is simple, but sleek. Definitely works for a day/night look, maybe not appropriate for a Gala or anything like that, but very chic for some casual lounging;).

Black Friday



H&M Satin Blouse/ Zara Square Sweater/ Forever21 Pleated Skirt/ Michael Kors Watch/ Vintage Bow-Tie Earrings

Practically sleep deprived from the adrenaline that comes with these highly anticipated Black Friday Sales. So far I've really only splurged on shoes. 4 pairs and counting (Steven Madden Pembrooks, Aldo Quelette, Aldo Botkins, and Aldo Garolega)! But since Canada really has a lack of Black Friday Sales in general, I obviously just shopped for pleasure rather than bargain. Unexpectedly snagged this Cream Squared Sweater from Zara (Only 24.99CAD!) while on an evening shopping excursion with some lovely girls from work. I'm absolutely in love with it; warm, comfy, and really a staple for Winter. Happy Shopping!

Mad for Madden

Steve Madden Sale

1. Pembrook $99.98/ 2. Westii $49.98/ 3. Beasst $69.98/ 4.Grettta $69.98/ 5. Carnaby $99.98


Although I'm trying to cut-down on my shoe purchases for the year, it's absolutely impossible to avoid Thanksgiving/Black Friday sales. Currently Steve Madden is offering 25% off and Free Shipping (Coupon Code: TURKEY)! So obviously I couldn't help but take advantage of this awesome deal. I ordered a pair of Pembrooks in Taupe (the Wine Red didn't have my size:( ), which resemble the popular Dickie Boots by Isabel Marant but for a fraction of the price. I'm still contemplating if I should order them in Black as well because these short ankle boots are so comfortable and versatile for the winter. But whether you want to buy boots for the season or stock up on pumps, it's a great time to shop and save!

Vintage Treasures


Love recieving my online purchases in the maik. It's like a surprise everytime:)! I found these awesome pieces at Esty.com. I absoutely adore these bowtie earrings (14 karat gold-plated)! While the rose gold cube lariat (14 karat gold filled) serves the perfect purpose of making a plain black dress sparkle without over-blinging the outfit.

Cheap Chic

Affordable Sweaters

1. Striped Chunky Sweater @ Forever21 $25/ 2. Vila Chunky Sweater @ ASOS $36/ 3. Ecote Oversized Sweater @ UrbanOutfitters.com $49/ 4. Oversized Cotton Sweater @ Zara $26/ 5. HM Fine-Knit Sweater $24.95

When snow starts to fall and temperatures drop below double-digits, mother nature is simply telling me I need to shop! I love finding that perfect chunky sweater that I practically live in all winter:). Cable knits and bat-wing sleeved sweaters are my favorite. The oversized look is so versatile because you can wear it like a dress with tights or just with a pair of skinny jeans. With sweaters the toughest part for me is always deciding what color, but with so many choices under $50 who needs to choose? 
Mens Afforadble Knitwear

1. Military Cardigan @ ASOS $46/ 2. Two-Tone Sweater @ Zara $51/ 3. Knitted Cardigan with Elbow Patch @ Zara $100/ 4. V-Neck Sweater @ ASOS $37/ 5. Cozy Knit Cardigan @ Forever21 $26

So obviously guys need to look good during the winter too and it may be even more relevant for them to "SAVE UP" (Girlfriends are quite expensive, especially near Christmas;)). But not every guy can pull off every look. Thinner knitwear like #1, #4, and #5, I feel are more suited for guys with broad shoulders or a bulkier build because the result is a slim and fitted look. If you have a slim build, thick knits are your best friend;).Chunky sweaters and cardigans will give the illusion of a more robust build because the thickness will provide a fitted yet fuller look (so that you're not drowning in a baggy sweater!). Layer Up!

The Transition

The End of Fall

Knit Headband/ A-line Skirt/ Colorblock Oversized Sweater/ Bangles/ Satchel/ Platform Ankle Boots

I'm quite infatuated with reds, burgundies, and taupes. Call me lazy, but an over-sized/chunky sweater with a basic a-line skirt will definitely be my go-to outfit during the awkward FALL/WINTER transition. Keeps you warm, but not the insane layers that Canadian Winters warrant. Effortlessly stylish, especially during Finals when you really don't want to think about what to wear.
Menswear 101

Double Breasted Peacoat/ Canvas Holdall Bag/ Crew Neck Long Sleeve/ Loop Stitch Scarf/ Woodland Watch


Upon request from my "gentlemen friends", just some friendly suggestions;). Of course dark shades are always a safe choice, but a subtle addition of color is quite attractive. Rusts, reds, and browns add color without being over-the-top or too flamboyant. The Double Breasted Peacoat in rust from TOPMAN is structured and sophisticated (especially for guys with broad shoulders), definitely a "staple" for Fall and Winter.

"Hello!" from Cari

MODMARTINIINTRO

So this is my first official post. I've wanted to start this blog for a long time, but for one reason or another just didn't happen til now.

To be honest, I have no idea why I named my blog Mod Martini except that I thought it sounded "interesting". Possibly because I'm clearly drunk on fashion (quite obviously with my daily shopping). So I guess it's not surprising that I'm known for being a shopaholic. LOL.

Anyways, I hope this blog can be a platform for me to share and hone in on my personal style. Cheers:)
