5 Affordable Online Stores You Probably Had No Idea Existed

The only thing that makes me happier than a Friday is a good retail therapy! And as much as I love strolling around the first floor at Maison Ogilvy or browsing the carefully curated new arrivals at HoltRenfrew.com, my monthly budget simply doesn't allow me to indulge in high-fashion and luxury items every time. But as a fashion girl, I made it my mission to remain on top of my style-game at all costs… Or in this case, at practically no cost ;)

Piqued your curiosity just yet ? Check out the five online boutiques I simply could have never done it without…

1) TOBI

featuring the I'm Yours Sweater Crop Top, $33 and East Side Printed Neck Scarf, $30

TOBI always carries the most exciting things online and I find their style to be very reminiscent of Nasty Gal's for often, a quarter of the price. Whether it's basics, intimates, swimwear, evening-wear, ROMPERS!.. TOBI has it all and even more. The 'Sale' feature is probably my favourite as it allows me to get all the pieces I missed out on at a fraction of the price. And every career girl knows that a good sale always makes the bank account happy. Sorta… ;)

2) MISSGUIDED

featuring the Velvet Choker Shift Dress, $49

Missguided is such a good party brand for twenty-something ladies like myself! Their overall aesthetic channels the perfect combination of femininity, sensuality and effortless style, offering a great variety of pieces fit for a queen. Warning! If, like myself, you have a soft spot for the cool fabrics and textures of the 90's (velvet, satin, crochet and mesh that is) you might end up spending most of your days scrolling down the new arrivals and back in stock options of the moment. Most. Of. Your. Days.

Psssst! There's also a 20% discount for students in the US… #unidays

3) GO JANE

featuring the Day Date Ruffled Chambray Romper, $29

With currently up to 70% sale off sitewide, Go Jane is one of my most affordable online fashion discovery of 2016. Every since my very first order with them (a gorgeous pair of denim chunky heels) I have been completely obsessed with their weekly arrivals and their footwear shop, curating over 900 pair of pumps, boots, sandals, sneakers, flats, catering to everybody's taste and budget.

4) LULU'S

featuring the Ring the Bell Dark Green Crop Top, $42

I like to think that I was quite early on discovering and integrating Lulu's best sellers into my wardrobe mostly because it caters so well to my ultra feminine style and aesthetic. For almost 10 years now, Lulu's has been my go-to web destination for all-things dresses and cute accessories. As for my favourite feature from their website: the 'Back in Stock' section where they bring back all of the styles that sold out too quickly, so you can never miss out on a great #outfitgoals ;)

lulus.com

5) PIXIE MARKET

featuring the Ribbon Open Back White Tee, $78

Pixie Market is my favourite online destination for statement tops and other original pieces. I've always loved a good stand-out outfit and Pixie's allows me to innovate and get extra creative with my fashion sense. They've got a wonderful collection of fun, fearless work-appropriate shirts and blouses that make it super easy to transition from the office to happy hour in a knack. Don't go unnoticed!

OSCARS 2016: THE RED CARPET

The 88th Academy Awards mark the last stop of our fashion recap for this Awards Season: Who is sad? I am.

Aside the usual lack of diversity among the nominations, the 2016 Oscars will make history for two reasons: firstly as the most important moment in Leonardo DiCaprio's life (as #TEB's cinema-lover Beatrice previously told you), and secondly for delivering a colorful selection of modern red carpet looks.

But did I fall in love with all of them? Nope.

Let's have a look:

FLORAL MASTERPIECE

Cate Blanchett (Carol) in Armani Privé / John Legend & wife Chrissy Teigen in Marchesa

I was expecting Cate Blanchett to wear a couture piece, however I was suprised to see her wearing something this romantic: showstopping tailoring and 3-D flowers' applications make this Armani Privé gown, one of the best looks of the night.

Moving to the lovely couple on the right, I have to repeat myself: Chrissy Teigen has the best maternity style ever. The design is nothing new, but Marchesa managed to adapt it to her new body: the expected sensuality of the design is casted away, to favor a look that oozes feminine beauty at its fines. I am in love witn this.

BOLD COLORS

Brie Larson (Room) in Gucci / Charlize Theron in Dior / Olivia Munn in Stella McCartney

A better title should have been "Saved by the color".

Brie Larson had an impressive awards season, thanks to her performance in Room, but also to her stylist. However I can not say that this Gucci is the best look she came up with or even Oscars-worthy material...but at the end of the day isn't she beautiful in that shade of blue?

Charlize Theron wore of course a design by Dior: from the waist down I am a fan, but the upper part is questionable. It feels like a bathing suit turned into a evening gown...but isn't she beautiful in that shade of red?

Olivia Munn is not really an A-list celebrity, however this Stella McCartney's orange gown makes her look the part.

INTERESTING SHAPES

Lady Gaga in Brandon Maxwell / Olivia Wilde in Valentino Haute Couture

Lady Gaga and Brandon Maxwell are a match made in heaven. This jumpsuit is everything: elegant, modern and luxurious; definitely the most unforgettable look of the night.

Olivia Wilde played the couture card in a revealing Valentino dress: I like it, maybe too much for the Oscars, but that chocker is throwing me off. #Unnecessary.

LUXURY by CHANEL

Julianne Moore in Chanel Couture / Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) in Chanel Couture

Two Chanel Couture designs in my best dressed list: am I dreaming?

Julianne Moore and new comer Daisy Ridley left me speachless at first sight: minimal styling, chic and luxurious embellishments...what else to say?

DAZZLING BLONDES

Margot Robbie in Tom Ford / Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) in Calvin Klein / Naomi Watts in Armani Privè

Get your sunglasses on, it's getting shiny right here!

Margot Robbie took the Oscars theme kind of literally, by wearing a golden Tom Ford piece: I like the outfit, but I am not sure about the hair, maybe too casual for the occasion.

Brooklyn star Saoirse Ronan chose a sexy Calvin Klein dress for her debut on the Academy Awards' red carpet, however the styling makes her look older than her 20s.

Naomi Watts managed to over-accessorize her look one more time: if you have to wear Bulgari jewels by contract, why choosing such a dress?

YOU LOVE IT, I HATE IT #1

Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl /Ex-Machina) in Louis Vuitton

I like Alicia Vikander as an actress and her beauty is undeniable, but I can not get on board with this mess. Being Louis Vuitton ambassador she might had no voice in the selection of her outfits, so I forgive her, but it hurts me anyway to hate this look so much: she has been on #TEB's best dressed list for the entire awards season. #Pity.

YOU LOVE IT, I HATE IT #2

Kerry Washington (Scandal) in Atelier Versace / Jennifer Lawrence (Joy) in Dior

If you can see Kerry Washington's Versace look as a one-piece, then you will feel the boldness of the design. If you can not, than you would agree with me: what the hell is she wearing?

Jennifer Lawrence finally found the perfect hair color to enhance her natural beauty; I wish I could say the same about that lace-fest Dior gown.

PLAYING SAFE

Sophie Turner (Game of Thones) in Galvan for Opening Ceremony x Swarovski / Rooney Mara (Carol) in Givenchy / Emily Blunt (Sicario) in Prada

Sophie Turner looked divine: the ginger Game of Thrones star finally nailed the look I have always dreamed for her, although a darker color would have turned this look into a showstopper.

Rooney Mara in Givenchy is getting boring, especially if you keep wearing little variations of the same design over and over again.

Emily Blunt looked just like the lovely mum she will become: however the dress by itself is nothing special.

ELEGANT EMEBELLISHMENTS

Amy Poehler in Andrew Gn/ Jennifer Garner in Atelier Versace/ Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) in Marchesa

Nature-inspired embroidery on Amy Poehler gown, definitely an original choice for the Oscars, while both Jennifer Garner and Sofia Vergara went for something more classic but sparkling. Jennifer proved that Versace can still deliver good and classy gowns, and Sophia surpised me stepping out of her comfort zone, by wearing something different from her usual mermaid dresses.

LAME CHOICE #1

Priyanka Chopra (Quantico) in Zuhair Murad / Isla Fisher in Marchesa / Rachel McAdams (Spotlight) in August Getty Atelier

I love this section: how is it possible to go wrong having a styling team and the star-power to wear beautiful designer clothes? Watch and learn.

-Priyanka Chopra in a beautiful white gown...do you get the bridal vibe once again?

-Isla Fisher's gown is so plain that I do not want to wast time commenting.

- and Rachel McAdams is such a let down: this gown has no life or style. Why wearing it to the Oscars??

LAME CHOICE #2

Heidi Klum in Marchesa / Reese Witherspoon in Oscar de la Renta / Kate Winslet in Ralph Lauren

Everyone has his own tradition...mine is to find Heidi Klum among the least convincing looks on the red carpet: this time she has to blame a costumy and fluffy Marchesa design. Next.

Would you wear a dress that does nothing for your boobs? According to Reese Witherspoon, yes.

Last but not least Kate Winslet in what I call "Futuristic Garbage".

That's the Oscars everybody.

GRAMMY AWARDS 2016: is this the worst red carpet of the year?

Yes.

I am not trying to sound mean, but that is a fact: the 58th Grammy awards wins #TEB's trophy as the most underwhelming red carpet of the year.

Music on point, fashion...next.

Beyoncè skipped the red carpet, no Rihanna, no Nicki Minaj, no JLo, and I hate myself for saying this but no sign of the Kardashian/Jenners (however I would hide too after wearing those terrible creations at Yeezy season 3). All that is left is a bunch of generic (sometimes boring) outfits, except for Lady Gaga of course, I mean nothing is generinc when it comes to her.

Ready? Let's have a closer look to the Grammys red carpet:

ANGELIC VISIONS

Chrissy Teigen in Yousef Aljasmi; Beyoncè in Inbal Dror

We are borderline with the bridal territory, but we can not deny how effortless and classy these dresses look. Pregnancy is looking good on Chrissy Teigen, and fashion-wise I do love her glamorous maternity-style. As for my queen Beyoncè, I was expecting more from her: she has been wearing sheer dresses for too long, and it starting to feel boring, however I do like the tastefull design of this one.

SPLASH OF COLOR

Taylor Swift in Atelier Versace; Kacey Musgraves in Armani Privé Couture

Color-blocking looks good on ex-country star Taylor Swift, even if I have problems to call this Versace number a dress, I mean doesn't it look like a two-pieces swimsuit witha fancy sarong? Anyway this new shorter (Anna Wintour-inspired) hair-do sealed the deal, so gets my nulla-osta.
The actual country princess Kacey Musgraves choose something more elegant and nailed it: this Armani Privé Couture dress from the Fall 2015 collection looked flawless on her.

BOWIE TRIBUTES

Zendaya in Dsquared2; Lady Gaga in custom Marc Jacobs

Tributes are the highest form of respect to someone that has passed away: this year we have lost many big artists, among which the legendary David Bowie.
Lady Gaga had the honor to perform a tribute to the singer at the awards show, and given her personality and character it make sense to see her bringing her tribute also on the red carpet. If you don't stare at the shoes to much, it works, believe me.
As for Zendaya, I can not really decide whether I like the execution of the tribute or not: she took the androginus path, sporting Bowie's famous Ziggy Stardust mullet and wearing a black suit by DSquared2. This is another unexpected yet bold choice made by the young star and her stylist, that unfortunately failed to convince me. A++ for the effort.

IN CHARACTER

Janelle Monae; Florence Welch in Gucci

It's costumy, but I love it...on Janelle Monae: it's Grammys night at the end of the day, what did you expect?
Moving to Florence Welch..., well Gucci is on a roll this year: this is another A-list celebrity wearing an Alessandro Michele's design without looking like a cartoon. Good job.

DIVAS

Jazmine Sullivan in Micheal Costello; Adele in Givenchy

I could listen to their voices for days, but who wins the fashion game? Personally I love Jazmine Sullivan choice better: the RnB diva wore a feminine yet elegant piece by Michael Costello, which fits her like a glove. Adele went classy in Givenchy all night, however the ruby red piece she wore on stage totally outshined this black number on the red carpet.

(OLD) LADY LIKE

Demi Lovato in Norisol Ferrari; Megan Trainor in Micheal Costello

Take to beautiful young rising stars in their 20s...and dress them like they were 40. Pardon 35.

SEXY SEXY SEXY

Bella Hadid in Alexandre Vauthier Couture; Ciara in Alexandre Vauthier; Alessandra Ambrosio in Versace

Plunging neklines, slits, cut-outs, dark smokey eyes and lots of skin: girls you are beautiful, but I am officially bored. It is not even funny anymore. "Less is more"they say, but I do not belive they were referring to the amount of fabric...

1 SINGLE FLAW

Selena Gomez in Calvin Klein; Ariana Grande in Romona Keveza; Lianne La Havas in Vivienne Westwood

Everything was on point except for...

-Selena Gomez hair and make up. She is beautiful but she reminds me of JLo..and not in her 20s.

-Ariana Grande make up and hair: imagine a low ponytail and a softer make up. Is it better?

-Lianne La Havas shoes: too heavy for me.

WORST

Medison Bier; Wiz Kalifa in Thom Browne; Tove Lo

The ultimate cheap-looking party dress, an embellished shrunken three-piece with tails and a beautiful lace nightmare. Impressive.

Sorry, I need to heal my eyes: maybe it's better to look back at the BAFTA red carpet.

SAG AWARDS 2016: The Red Carpet

The SAG Awards are the second key moment of this awards season, and style-wise a warm-up between the Globes and the Oscars. As the winners of the night rehearse their speeches for their big time at the Oscars, let's have a look at the best (and worst) fashion moments of the night:

STAR OF THE SHOW

Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl/Ex-Machina) in Louis Vuitton

Bow down to the most beautiful Louis Vuitton dress I have ever seen on a red carpet: simple in the design and dazzling in the details. Swedish actress Alicia Vikander definitely looked like the star she will become. Best look of the night.

BREATH-TAKING

Viola Davis (How To Get Away With Murder) in Zac Posen_Brie Larson (Room) in Atelier Versace Couture

As I always say, "you can never go wrong with a Zac Posen's design" and Viola Devis is another proof of that: the color of the dress is amazing on her skin, the feminine shape on the gown enhanced her figure and that smile..well that was the cherry on top! Actress of the year Brie Larson got the couture treatment directly from Atelier Versace, as she wore a couture piece straight from the house's spring 2016 couture collection. The dress proved to have "red carpet" potential on the runway, and I am glad to see how beautiful it looks on Brie. My only side note has to be the shoes: WTF???

SISTERLY LOVE

Kate Mara in Valentino_Rooney Mara in Valentino

The Mara sisters had a Valentino moment on the red carpet. Kate Mara wore a piece from the spring summer 2016 collection, while Rooney Mara opted for a couture piece from the fall winter collection. Same designer, different interpretations: I have to say that Rooney looked regal (even if I wanted to see some major jewellery piece with that gown), while Kate definitely brought some sensuality to her dress.

SHOCKING PINK

Emilia Clarke (Game Of Thrones) in Dior_Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) in Vera Wang

Only the brave. Emilia Clarke wore the second decent Dior design of this year awards season, while Sofia Vergara (as always) favored a mermaid-like dress: the designs were not original, but the color sealed the deal.

THE MICHAEL'S ANGELS

Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) in Michael Kors_Queen Latifah (Bessie) in Michael Costello

Ok, let's forget the bad title-joke. But I have to admit that Michael Kors and Michael Costello gifted Saoirse Ronan and Queen Latifah with two beautiful elegant and timeless dresses. In both cases the styling was kept to the minimum, I could not agree more.

EYE-CATCHING TOPS

Sarah Paulson (ASH: Hotel) in Armani Privé couture_Kristen Wiig (The Martian) in Roland Mouret

Couture make over also for Sarah Paulson, who turned to Armani to find the perfect dress for the evening. Usually I am not a fan of her on the red carpet, but this time I love the injection of color. Kristen Wiig brought back my love for jumpsuits, wearing a modern number for Roland Mouret. I would wear it in a heart-beat.

YOUNG HOLLYWOOD

Maise Williams (Game Of Thrones) in Ermanno Scervino_Sophie Turner (Game Of Thrones) in Carolina Herrera

This time I am not really impressed by the fashion choices of the two British stars: they looked ready for prom rather than for the red carpet. Maisie Williams wore an Ermanno Scervino's dress, that in my opinion looked too heavy for her petit frame; Sophie Turner was lovely in Carolina Herrera, but she was not memorable. I am a "dress to impress" kind of person, so this is miss for me.

Ariel Winter (Modern Family) in Romona Keveza_Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) in Erdem_Sarah Hyland (Modern Family) in J Mendel

Keeping up with the young hollywood section we have Ariel Winter in a bombshell attire by Romona Keveza, Kiernan Shipka in a youthful and elegant Erdem design, and Sarah Hyland in a blue J Mendel. Kiernan looked the best, as it was easy to find some flaws in both Ariel and Sarah's styling choises: Ariel's frosty rose lipstick and Sarah's poor hair style were definitely a total let down.

SPARKLING COUTURE

Julianne Moore in Givenchy Couture_Nicole Kidman in Gucci

This is a hard one: two Hollywood royalties wearing the designs from two major fashion houses...and the result is not that good. Julianne Moore's lime green Givenchy dress was doing nothing for her body; however the color was beautiful on her. As for Nicole Kidman...well, that Gucci number was simply not made for her. Let's start by saying that this is a tricky dress: I could see a younger celebrity rocking it and I can imagine a model wearing it for an editorial, but in my opinion this gown has no red carpet potential, and Nicole dear, that styling is not helping either.

CLASSIC ALLURE

Anna Faris (Mom) in Naeem Khan_Rachel McAdams (Spotlight) in Elie Saab_Marisa Tomei (Empire) in Zuhair Murad couture

I see 3 beautiful dresses that needed a bit more of drama in the styling.
A red pout for Anna Faris and that gorgeous red Naeem Khan gown; a sleek hairstyle and a darker eyeshadow to upgrade Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab. Marisa Tomei disappointed me in the shoe-department and she definitely needed to pay more attention to her hairstyle, if she wanted to match that lovely teal Zuhair Murad.

NOT CONVINCING

Priyanka Chopra (Quantico) in Monique Lhuillier_Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black) in Prabal Gurung_Eva Longoria (Telenovela) in Julien MacDonald

What do we have here? A bridal gown, a terrible pose and a hot mess. Wow, three beautiful ladies that did not manage to stand out in the crowd: Priyanka Chopra's Monique Lhuillier was a camouflage bridal gown; Laverne Cox was actually wearing a nice Prabal Gurung, but she killed off all the magic with that questionable pose; Eva Longoria basically wore a dress that was meant for a taller person, and despite the fitting it is still very clear. BTW that hair style is a NO.

TOO MUCH FABRIC

Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) in Christian Siriano_Sola Bamis (Mad Men) in Lola Wusu

Usually I appreciate a bit of drama on the red carpet, but not in this case. One of the basic rules in fashion is to make sure that your client looks smoking hot in your design, and I dare you all to say that Christian Siriano or Lola Wusu accomplished that request. Sola Bamis should fire her stylist, while Christina Hendricks could have upgraded her dress with a pair of scissors: that piece of fabric on the shoulder was pointless. Chop it off next time!

SKIN SKIN SKIN

Susan Sarandon in Max Mara_Eva Amurri in Gabriela Cadena_Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory) in Romona Keveza

Where should I begin? Susan Sarandon should have worn a white corset under that Max Mara tuxedo, and those pants needed to reach the floor. I do not have much to say about the Gabriela Cadena dress that Eva Amurri wore, if not "burn it". Kaley Cuoco dress could have been a good choice for the Grammys, but that sheer panel that does not match her skin-tone is a let down. Next.

Marc Jacobs the Thief of the century

My name is Angel Barta. I am a fashion designer at Angel Barta VIP Couture.

Designer Marc Jacobs has been stealing my ideas, my style, my photos and my concepts for five years. My unique fashion designs have enticed Marc to reproduce my creations across the brands he has his hand in. He wants to be the most powerful person in the fashion world by using my ideas without my permission.
Jacobs wants to hide me and the fact that he has been using MY ideas from the fashion industry. Since he discovered that my unique style sells well, he plans to carry on hiding me and stealing my ideas as long as possible.
This has been going on for almost 6 years. So this year I decided to start my blog about my story to let the truth be known by everyone and to finally force Marc to leave me alone. Just because he is rich and famous does not give the right to trample on an innocent young girl.

I wrote a 500 pages long book about my relationship with Marc Jacobs. It is titled 'Fake Fashion'.

How does he even know about Angel Barta?

It started at the beginning of 2008, when I was only sixteen years old.

I met Marc Jacobs at a gym in Paris. He noticed how special my style was from the moment we first met. He invited me to his Louis Vuitton fashion show and the dinner after. He has been stalking me since then.

He promised he would make the biggest top model out of me, saying he could sell anything with my face. He said I was the first woman he fell in love with (!). He enticed me with me talk of love, marriage, kids and a top-model career. I believed his every word! While I didn’t want to be a model, but a fashion designer, I couldn’t help but be seduced by the promises of such a powerful fashion designer.

Sitting 2nd row at the Louis Vuitton show with Marc's best friend and trainer, Easy

with Marc's other best friend: Niko

Niko with Lorenzo Martone Niko with Marc Jacobs

In the summer of 2008 Marc invited me to his office. He did a private casting, only for me, and he took my measurements personally. This is almost unheard of in the fashion world, so again, I thought it was evidence of his intentions for me.

This meeting at his office was mentioned in New Yorker Magazine’s September 2008 edition. Click here, to read the article.

For two years we spoke for hours a day, every day. Jacobs wanted to know everything about me. He became obsessed with my personality and the unique style I represent. Katie Grand (stylist at many big brand, Marc's best friend) said in an interview that the design team had to listen to MY Cher compilation CD for 2 weeks while they were designing the LV collections. Marc was wearing high heels and a dress and walking around the room acting like he was Angel Barta!! That is obsession.

Jacobs said my energy was vital for him. He told me he needed me because with my talent he could be the new Picasso. He said he would write his name on fashion history with golden letters! He copied my photos in his campaigns and replaced his long-time photographers with MY favorite photographer Steven Meisel. Since 2008 Meisel has shot all of his Louis Vuitton campaigns.

Jacobs copied my style without my permission for his fashion shows: Louis Vuitton Spring 2009, Marc Jacobs Spring 2009, Louis Vuitton Fall 2009, Marc Jacobs Fall 2009. Each was a huge success! Jacobs became addicted to the success my fashion brought him.

He told me he loved me. He said the next time he designed he would tell the fashion world about the role of my designs in his work. He told me he would make the biggest fashion designer out of me and we would work together officially. I believed that he would enable me to work in the fashion industry. I’ve never received anything for my ideas but nice words and empty promises.

A few examples on how Jacobs copied my ideas for his own line.

He copied my ideas for Dior as well

He copied my photos once for Dior and once for the Marc Jacobs campaign

Jacobs kept torturing me by saying he loved me, sending me love messages, poems, he wrote love songs and asked famous singers to sing them. He made singers (i.e. Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Taylor Swift) wear the clothes he designed based on my stuff.

Lady Gaga with Marc Jacobs Marc Jacobs with Angel Barta

After several seasons of this, I realized that MJ was just using my talent for his own success. I noticed that he hacked my cell phone. He read all my text messages, emails, and he was even checking my Facebook account! He contacted my friends from fake accounts and sent them perverse messages.

By the end of 2009, I recognized that he had never loved me. I told Marc:

"I am deeply disappointed. You lied to me! You only wanted my ideas for your own success. You knew it from the beginning that you would never help me. You’d already planned that you would only fool me and use my talent and hide me from the fashion world… so no one would know that your successful collections were MY ideas, that the style originally came from me! I never want to talk to you again! I will not give you my ideas anymore! Forget me … forever!!!!"

So from 2010, I consciously withheld my ideas from him.

I wanted to cut him out of my life. He kept calling me, texting me, but I never answered. I stopped giving him photos. I wanted to forget him, but he refused to leave me alone. He wrote me every day, saying he would KILL HIMSELF if I didn't answer!

Jacobs did not want to let me or my ideas go. He did not accept the fact that I wanted to break up with him. He became more and more obsessed with me and did many crazy and cruel things to steal my ideas and keep me a secret. He is afraid of my talent being seen for what it really is: MINE. He doesn't want me the fashion world to know about me so he’ll do anything to hide me.

Here’s where it gets radical. He still stalks me. He has hired people to follow me all day and take photos and videos of me for him. This way he can continue copying whatever I wear. Marc Jacobs started to make fashion videos, copying my life, my memories, my moments. The models have to act and pose the way I do. They have to copy my every move.

How does Marc Jacobs copy Angel Barta?

He copies every single detail of my photos. If I post a photo online, he exhausts it in his own designs. He takes one aspect of my photo for this shoot, then another aspect for that shoot, then another for a brand campaign, then yet another aspect for a layout, etc.
I design and make clothes. My photographer and I choose unique settings to showcase my work. Jacobs copies everything about my photos: the concept, the background, the colors, the pose, the mood, and worst of all, the very outfits I’ve designed!

I was silent for five years. I believed he would either own up to his copycatting or forget about me and let me live my life. Unfortunately, he has done neither. He became more and more obsessed with me and the success my ideas brought him, so he did some crazy things.
A couple of months ago I started spreading the truth about Marc Jacobs on the internet, via this blog. By the end of 2013, more than 555,000 people have been exposed to the truth.

Obviously, Jacobs and his friends want me to shut up and accept the fact that they are exploiting my talent. While they enjoy the success of my work, I am completely ignored by (and outcast from) the fashion world.

Here is a video where I talk about Paris and my feelings on the first day of a trip. I had just arrived to Paris and had already sent his people after me.

I made this video in the summer of 2012. I was wearing my own design: a striped Angel Barta dress. That summer, polka dots were the must-have trend. Guess what! Only two months later Jacobs designed a collection full of stripes… every single outfit was striped!

Marc Jacobs, the Manipulator

Marc Jacobs is a manipulator, a control-freak, a puppet master. He wants to control everyone in the public eye. He controls Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Terry Richardson, Kanye West and more.

Jacobs controls many celebrities. His latest and most visible right now: Miley Cyrus. The shocking VMA performance of Miley Cyrus was the idea of Marc Jacobs. His best buddy, Terry Richardson, directed her new nude video clip. Click here for details.

Kanye West, one of Jacobs’s pals, has stolen a Hungarian song recently. Hungarian brand, Omega is going to sue Kanye for using their music without permission… such behavior exhibited and condoned by one Marc Jacobs. Lie with dogs and you’ll get fleas, Kanye.

The music "Gyöngyhajú Lány" (translated as The Girl with Pearly Hair) by Hungarian band, Omega, in 1969. Many listeners have identified the sample used towards the end of the new track that Kanye West premiered on (almost) 66 buildings and Saturday Night Live this year. Kóbor János, a singer of Omega, claimed he plans to sue Kanye for sampling Gyönyhajú Lány (The organs from New Slaves) and not crediting them. He already hired an international lawyer to start the proceedings. They can't sue Kanye yet because it was only played on walls and on SNL and it's not official, but if it makes it to the album, Kóbor promised he will step in the ring. Click here to listen to both songs.

Kanye and Marc Jacobs are thick as thieves. They even collaborated when Kanye designed trainers for Louis Vuitton. He flies all the way to Paris to watch every MJ show from the front row seat given him by the devil himself. He even sings the songs Marc asks him to. You remember Runaway by Kanye? It was Jacobs’s idea, even the clip fulfilled his fantasy.

Jacobs used his manipulation skills to persuade Kanye to steal that Hungarian song and convinced him he wouldn’t be caught because he hasn’t been caught for stealing from me.

Jacobs wants to control everything and everyone. He’d love to get his puppeteer hands on even more celebrities. He has friends and former colleagues working at almost every big fashion brand in the world. He is able to present my ideas to Stella McCartney, Dior, Nina Ricci, Chanel, Prada, Ungaro, Balenciaga, Dsquared, and Dolce&Gabbana with the help of his friends (namely Katie Grand, Camille Micheli, Nicholas Ghesquiére, Peter Copping, and the like) and have them accepted and praised as his own. To his delight, to his success… and to my horror.

Eighteen-year-old Lily McMenamy had to walk topless on Jacobs’s latest fashion show in New York. She said Marc told her how to hold her breasts in one hand. The night before the fashion show Marc did not let her go home from his office until 2am. (They were practicing 'the topless show walk' together)
Read my article with details: If you want to walk the Marc Jacobs runway, all you have to do is to satisfy his perverse fantasies.

Marc cunningly appoints his friends and former colleagues to high positions at many different fashion brands, making sure he has a tool to use at each influential company.

Take Camille Micheli, of Dior. She used to work at the PR Louis Vuitton, with Marc Jacobs for more than 10 years, before MJ got her a cushy " Creative- Jewelry Director" job at Dior in 2009.

Or Peter Copping, currently with Nina Ricci. He was Jacobs’s right-hand-man for 10 years at LV before he got the creative director job at Nina Ricci in 2009, thanks to MJ.

PETER COPPING

Or Nicolas Ghesquiére, who was appointed the new creative director of Louis Vuitton in 2013. He replaced his friend, Marc Jacobs. Jacobs isn’t that far out of the picture, though, as Ghesquiére is also one of his puppets. Ghesquiére used to work for Balenciaga. Katie Grand and Camille Miceli usually sit front row at Balenciaga (although they both work for LVMH). They have connections there so Marc is able to secretly control Balenciaga through his undercover people. For more on this, click here.

Marc Jacobs's main supporter: Katie Grand

Katie Grand

Katie Grand supports Marc in his cruel game against me. She works for many big brands and influences fashion magazines. She is the editor of LOVE and POP Magazines. Jacobs can copy my ideas and, with her help, spread them all over the fashion world. With Katie Grand, he copies my ideas not just for Louis Vuitton but also for Balenciaga, Prada, Miu Miu, Giles, Ungaro, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana, and more.

He dictates who will become top models, he decides who will be the next IT girl, who will be in most of the campaigns… not just in his own ads, but in nearly every brand. Puppet master!

A few examples on how Jacobs copied my ideas

for Prada and Miu Miu...

Marc Jacobs gave the ideas he stole from my "Angel Barta VIP Couture 2014" collection, to his buddy Pharell Williams.

Marc Jacobs gave the ideas he stole from me, to his friend, fashion designer Stella McCartney.

Marc Jacobs "the soul-terrorist" (for spite)

Marc Jacobs does not want me to have the energy to let the truth out so that people will know that all of his creations were originally my ideas. He designs my style, my soul, everything that is me!

I wrote a 500-page book about the first two years of my relationship with Marc Jacobs. The title is "The Secret Love Affair in Paris." I was hoping MJ would leave me alone after reading my book. I wrote honestly about my dreams, wishes and feelings.

Jacobs used the information in my book against me, in true Jacobs style.

He gave all my specific dreams to other models from my country in order to break me. Jacobs's cohort, Katie Grand, cast Hungarian girls in all her key shows and shoots. For example, a Hungarian model, Vanessa, has been the face of Prada for 3 seasons already, this is the first time anyone has had such long Prada contract.

The models have to dress up in MY style and copy me and my poses in their editorials. Everywhere I look I must face the photos he’s copied. I see my ideas in magazines, in campaigns, and on the streets.

Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton tent during Paris’s Fashion Week. This is what I feel every season before his shows, knowing that the models are inside fitting the clothes that were originally my ideas... and I… I have to wait outside...unwelcome to shows ripped from my imagination.

Here are a few more examples. Each model featured in these editorials is Hungarian. Jacobs cast them in hopes of retaliating against me. They had to copy me in the photos, of course. Before meeting me, Jacobs never favored Hungarian models (if he’d even ever been to Hungary).

Marc is more than pleased to show me how other girls easily get success in the fashion world through him, meanwhile he isolates me from the fashion industry.

Why is Marc Jacobs torturing Angel Barta?

Jacobs is obsessed with the success that he earned by using my ideas. He does ANYTHING to steal my ideas. He stalks and tortures me because he wants me to give up my goal of becoming a recognized fashion designer.

He wants to exhaust me, break me… end me.

He can't stand the fact that I refused to do the humiliating things he asked me to. (He asked me to do many disgusting things in order to be a model.)

Marc Jacobs made his acting debut in a new film "Disconnect." He plays Harvey, a character he describes as 'sleazy' who lures underage kids off the street with the promise of shelter and income, for web-chat porn and prostitution. (Sounds eerily familiar to me…)

'In the end, I’m really not a bad character. I’m actually the one who is protecting them in a way. I’ve taken them off the streets and they don’t get harmed. They’re doing something that is virtual, though they are talking about sex. But you can look at it two ways,' he explained. (text via dailymail)

His role in the movie is so ironic considering Marc Jacobs’s perverted online behavior in real life, too. In my 2010 book, I told all about how much he loves cybersex and about the many sexual messages he sent me for years. He has been harassing me since I was sixteen years old. Jacobs is playing himself in the movie ... his truly perverse alter ego.

Watch Marc Jacobs ask a 15 year old kid if he "jerks off" in new Disconnect clip to get an idea of his true character.

Pretending he’s gay has gotten him publicity (his favorite thing), but look closer.
Why is new model Cara Delenvigne everywhere lately? Delevingne’s rise to modeling stardom can be tracked back to Marc Jacobs’s puppet, Katie Grand, who frequently puts Delevingne in (and even on the cover of) her magazine, LOVE.

Kate Moss (the other woman who is so passionately French kissing Jacobs) is on the cover of the same issue of LOVE Magazine. It was Jacobs's idea to launch the LOVE Magazine and he (not-surprisingly) put Katie Grand as editor in chief. The models featured in the magazine have to execute all of his perverse fantasies in the editorials.

In my other article, "Marc Jacobs is obsessed with women," it seems that he is not really gay.

What does Marc Jacobs think about my articles where I expose his dark side?

Marc Jacobs sent me a life-threatening message.

I ask everyone who comprehends the magnitude of his deception to help me by sharing my story on Facebook, Twitter, wherever. Please let the truth be known!

Please share this link: http://styleangelique.blogspot.com/

I'd like to have a life without Marc Jacobs stalking me at every turn!
