MY ACCOUNT HAVE GROWN!

You are 1346!

Thank you for staying & coming, my dear friends.

This blog features styling tips & tricks, smart wardrobe ideas, places to shop in Toronto and I share my personality along the way, too.

A couple of weeks ago, I gave you 5 facts about me: true & false ones ( ). Some of you had really good guesses.

Let’s go back to them!

1. More than clothes, I love food and world cuisines. TRUE.

⭐️ I used to work in 5* hotels and I was exposed to so many cuisines & even a celebrity chef, that I’ve become a connoisseur of world cuisines, a gourmet.

2. I speak 6 languages: English, Russian, German, Arabic, French, and Portuguese. FALSE.

⭐️ I am bilingual (Russian-English). But I also speak some German, French, and Arabic; no Portuguese. My professional background is Applied Linguistics, teaching English as a Second Language. Absolutely love languages!

3. In 2018, I was considering writing a doctorate dissertation on Teaching lower-level listening skills to ESL learners. TRUE.

⭐️ In 2018, I took a Master’s Degree program at York U, and was really thinking in staying in the academia. Pandemic changed my plans, though. My entrepreneurial spirit has won 😁.

4. I am good at sailing ⛵️. FALSE. ⭐️ In fact, I almost sank as I was steering a sail boat on my own. I had a dream to learn how to sail. I started taking classes. The day when I was supposed to sail independently was so scary to me. I was shaking as I was doing so. Had no clue what to do with the boat in the middle of Ontario lake. I managed to bring the boat back to the shore somehow. No more sailing since then. Only paddling.

5. I love sleeping in the bathroom. FALSE!

It happened to me once though. I had to sleep in the bathroom as my bathroom lock got broken & I could not get out of it at night. Luckily, I had my phone with me. In the morning, I texted my neighbor & she got me out of there. After that, I changed my bathroom locks everywhere & but keep on carrying my phone with me; just in case 😀.

What fact was the most amusing?

Sara is officially 10.

Time flies, gosh!

First Anniversary already 🎈

Sara is a willful cookie. This girl definitely knows what she wants, and she follows her dreams ✨

3 facts about Sara.

⭐️ Sara loves receiving & creating surprises! I remember when she has just started Circus & Arial Gymnastics, she practiced a fabulous performance with her coach without telling me. On thé performance day, I saw her up in the air performing circus tricks & stunts, my jaw was dropping. I didn’t expect that! And everyone was applauding her.

⭐️Barely attended an art school, Sara can draw either a nice portrait or still life.

⭐️ Fearless.
She can start a conversation with anybody & anywhere. Totally comfortable on a stage. Stands her grounds if someone isn’t right, be it an adult or a senior.

Wishing this girl a life full of opportunities & good people surrounding her.

Today was a wonderful day 💫

CLIENTS TESTIMONIAL

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you all the process of working with as I was creating 3 outfits for her personal brand Photoshoot. See Anna’s full testimonial in Stories.

If you asked me «what is my ideal client? », I would mention it’s someone like Anna for 3 reasons:

1️⃣ Sent her body measurements + pictures right away to help me get the right sizes.

2️⃣ Open to experiments!
We are all different, but it is much easier to work with people when they are more open.

3️⃣ Trustful
Her « Maria, I trust you! » was so valuable to me as we were working together.

I guess, in order the trust to happen we need to talk to each other first. If there is a click between us, it means I am the right stylist for you. If not, there will be always another expert who you will like.

I would love to work with you.

KEEPING WHITE TOPS WHITE IN SUMMER

Tell you the truth?

I’m quite sweaty during spring/summer months.

And obviously 🙄, my light t-shirts & shirts, and tops get these nasty yellow stains.

I guess I am not the only one as I see this in my clients’ wardrobes, too.

But, as I like saying: THERE IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION!

Save this recipe for a yellow stain remover.

You need:

✅ 1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide 3-5%
✅ 1/3 cup baking soda
✅ 2 tbsp blue dawn dish soaps (or any dish soap)

What to do:

1. Mix soda with dish soap and apply the paste onto the stain.
2. Then pour peroxide on top of the paste.
3. Let it sit for an hour.
4. Wash after as usual.

Say goodbye to yellow stains 🌟

COLOR BLUNDERS CELEBRITIES DO

No one is immune from choosing the wrong colors in clothing, makeup, hair dye and accessories. Even celebrities.

I came across this picture of Elizabeth Taylor, the 7th greatest female screen legend of Classic Hollywood cinema.

Let’s take a closer look at the colors that she was wearing.

LEFT PICTURE

1️⃣ Elizabeth, as a brunette with bright dramatic appearance, wore a bright contrast of classic red and white which are in harmony with her color personality: dark, cool, and bright! This color contrast shows her CHARISMA.

2️⃣ Thé color of her hair and makeup 💄 follows the same scheme: they are dark, cool and bright. They accentuate the beauty of her eyes, skin, and hair in the best way.

RIGHT PICTURE - a total disagreement between her natural beauty & colors!

The right picture shows the experiments Mrs. Taylor was having as she was aging gracefully.

1️⃣ When bright beauties put on airy and pastel colors, it looks like a wolf wearing a sheep skin. Isn’t it?

This icy pink is of the right temperature for Taylor but it should have been paired up with brighter earrings or brooch to accentuate her bright color personality.

2️⃣ Thé warm blonde hue of her hair totally neutralises her dramatic color personality. The hair color looks odd and not in harmony with her color type.

It is ok to experiment and make mistakes, that is how we learn.

But if you want to stop wasting money on your Color experiments, reach me out for your:
✔️Dress for your Color Type or
✔️Visage Consultation or
✔️BOTH (Packages are available!)

Learn what colors to buy for your:

- makeup 💄
- Clothes 👗
- Accessories 👒
- Glasses 👓
- Hair dye 👩‍🦰
- Jewelry 💍

When are forewarned, you are forearmed 😉!
