You can't look forward infinitive. You look forward to noun (often, a gerund). But you want "looking", anyway: "Martha was looking to ...."

I don't think you can end a faux pas. A faux pas is a one-shot thing. It means "misstep", as in dance. The plural is also "faux pas", by the way.

"Haut couture clothes" is redundant. It's like saying "fine cuisine food"
