H&M Spring 2010 Lookbook

hm-womens-spring-2010-4

Fashion is a funny thing. It’s not even winter yet, and here I am looking forward to all the beautiful spring clothes I’ll be buying soon…ish. H&M Spring 2010 Lookbook has surfaced, and so far so good. There are many pieces that I would be happy to add to my wardrobe (like the jacket above), and a few that perhaps I need to warm up to. Either way, here’s some escapist photos, that will hopefully take your minds off the dreary weather outside your windows and take you to a happy place smack dab in the middle of May. Enjoy!

What I’m Wearing: Fall-ing

fall

November is almost over, yet the weather is surprisingly mellow and might I even say…warm? And my weekend because of it was just perfect! Brunch at Celestin was deeelicious (Foodie post coming soon), yummy macarons from La Bamboche hit the spot, and November foliage made for a nice Sunday afternoon backdrop.

As for my clothes, I do have a tendency to become obsessed with one item and end up wearing it all the time. This week’s obsession is my H&M Menswear cardigan. Love it so much! It’s cozy and warm, and was much cheaper than a similar cardigan from Womenswear. Plus Boyfriend Blazers are so 2008, it’s all about Boyfriend Cardigans now! Pretty soon le boyfriend will start locking up his clothes. Posts on my new Forever21 Menswear t-shirt and H&M Christmassy sweater are coming soon. Kid’s clothes, menswear, I’ll wear it all…as long as it looks good!

That Helmut Lang dress is perfect, no? Would love, love, love to wear something like that for the holidays, especially since I am a sucker for yellow and graphic prints. Lucky girl, that Sophia Bush! Helmut, can you hear me? Size 4, please and thank you!

Forever21 – Boutique

tennesse-thomas-forever21-1

So it seems that Forever21 is jumping on the Urban Outfitters/Anthropologie bandwagon and releasing a “vintage-inspired” new collection, called Boutique. From a few outfits, modeled by Tennessee Thomas, the drummer of band, The Like, I’m not necessarily dying to see the pieces in stores, but my curiosity is piqued! The heart tights are cute, and the embellished vest/top definitely has potential. Either way, Forever21 prices will surely be affordable enough to get any of the items you like without breaking the already fragile from the holiday shopping bank. Are you excited about this new launch?

Holidays 2009: Chanel Iman in H&M Magazine

H&M has really been turning it on for the Holiday Season lately. After more prodding on the retailer’s website, Chanel Iman’s editorial shot by the talented Terry Richardson came up! And if you needed more holiday dressing ideas, it’s all there! Colourful baubles, luxurious fabrics, and fancy accessories, oh my! Do you like Chanel’s favourite things?

Friday Faux Pas: Victoria’s Secret Show

Victorias secret2

Ok, Victoria’s Secret Show is not this Friday’s Faux Pas, but rather the clothes that models were forced to wear on the catwalk. All together now…WTF? Heidi Klum opened the show, showing off her sick, I repeat SICK body, after giving birth just 6 weeks ago. As in less than 50 days ago! She looked hot, no doubt about it, but the ripped potato sack with whatever mossy growth all over her – not so hot. Alessandra Ambrosio in the weird pink cape thing with what appears socks/balloons attached all over the place – not hot. Marisa Miller in a Moulin Rouge inspired outfit – not hot. How could they manage making those models look weird instead of drop dead sexy? Of course the guys will disagree, they never pay attention to the clothes anyways, and granted, that’s not what Victoria’s Secret Shows are about. But this year’s “clothes” were especially horrifying.

Caroline Hedaya Spring 2010 Lookbook

I was never a fan, but I’m loving Caroline Hedaya’s Spring 2010 Lookbook! That white dress with cutouts and the cropped lace top are on my must-have list for Spring! Amazing! Can we just skip winter and go directly to Spring? Not looking forward to the slush. At all.

Rodarte for Target in Vogue

rodarte target2

So more and more Rodarte for Target photos have been popping up lately, but Vogue and Teen Vogue, understandably, got the first dibs for having the pieces as part of their editorials. Ahh…why don’t we have a Target in Canada? I really love Target, it has the best atmosphere for its type of store and they always have cute housewares stuff, as well as other miscellaneous crap that I always end up buying. Can we start a petition please? Bring Topshop and Target to Canada! Yes! Yes, we can! Anyway, my fave is still the leopard print dress on Dakota Fanning below, but the Vogue-featured pieces are also so very cute! The collection launches very soon (December 20th)! Can’t wait to see the rest!

Well, I’ve been #1, #2, and now #3 over the weeks, and the competition is most definitely fierce! I think everyone really, really wants to win this! And why wouldn’t they? VIP passes to fashion week??? $1000 to spend at Yorkdale Mall??? Parking spot??? YES, PLEASE! So I’m still holding out hope that I’ll pull through in the last week with some solid help from you all!

The above video is the latest effort to make this a fun and funny experience not only for the contestants, but for everyone that’s voting! You know what Haka is, right? And seriously, every time you see “Nelia” in the subtitles, if you listen closely, you’ll hear those New Zealanders saying my name.

So guys, don’t forget to vote for me when you’re bored, when you’ve got nothing better to do, when you’re in the bathroom playing with your phone, when you’re waiting for a bus, when you’re on the Internet reading gossip blogs (you know you do), and when you’re on the couch watching TV. Vote online: http://yorkdaleisme.com/profile/nelia/ or via your mobile phone 113 to #22333 (free if you have unlimited texting). Voting is unlimited, so vote as many times as you possibly can.

I really do appreciate all of your support! Thank you so much!

R.I.P. Daul Kim

Daul Kim - Blond Hair 1

Such sad news on a gloomy, rainy day. According to the NY Times blog The Cut: “Model Daul Kim was found dead in Paris this morning, her agents at Next confirm. “She was a top model and a great friend to all of us at Next. Please respect her family’s privacy at this time of sadness. We will all miss her very much,” they said in a statement. The cause of death remains unknown at this time but a source tells the Cut the 20-year-old committed suicide. She will be missed.”

I was a regular reader of Daul’s Blog “I Like To Fork Myself“. I enjoyed reading her random ramblings, stories from her life, and looking at the latest photos from her many travels and fashion campaigns. Daul was an incredibly successful model, working with many well-known designers, and shooting ads for the likes of Chanel. She captured her readers’ hearts with her quirky personality and always inspiring, thought-provoking posts. And though I didn’t know her personally, the news of her death really touched me. I guess, sometimes fellow bloggers become almost like virtual friends to each other, and virtual or not, my heart goes out to Daul’s friends and family at this horrible time.

Holidays 2009: H&M Party Guide

hm party guide5

The Holiday Season is upon us! Joy to the world! Ho-ho-ho! Jingle Bells! Ok, I’ll stop. But seriously, it’s about a month till Christmas, and some companies have already started throwing their Holiday Parties! Are you ready for it? Do you have something cute to wear? And not just to the office parties, most of us have other fun soirees to attend – from family dinners, to girls’ nights out – your closet needs to be prepared for the worst best! As a result, most of my party clothes have been coming straight from H&M or Zara lately. And why not? Their dresses are always cute, and are always moderately priced, allowing me to spend more moolah on Christmas shopping instead! Funny story, I went to H&M the other day, looking to buy a sweater for le boyfriend. But as soon as I walked into the men’s section, I immediately fell in love with a few sweaters! Ended up buying two of them for myself (pics are coming), and zero for le boyfriend. And why not??? That’s one of the advantages we have over the boys: we can wear their clothes, but they can’t really wear ours! Ha! And that is what I meant when I said “Christmas shopping”!

So going back to party outfits, H&M’s website has been chock-full of style ideas lately, and it seems they are more than prepared for the throngs of ladies, looking for something cute to wear! And not only are their stores full of awesome party-worthy outfits, their website is too! I really like them all, but for different occasions, obviously. What about you? Which of the below outfits would you wear to a party?

Complex Geometries Spring 2010 Lookbook

complex2

Have you seen it yet? If you haven’t, then you must! The Complex Geometries Spring 2010 Lookbook, shot by the fellow Canadian Tommy Ton is here! And it’s nothing short of inspirational! At least to me.

Love everything. Scratch that. I love everything on the female model. Not digging the male model’s looks, but to each their own. Love the colors, the draping, the complex geometries paired with such simple colors. I think I’d wear these looks every single day if I could. It all looks so…comfortable. I really need more of these clothes in my life! Though I really can’t complain right now. Because so far it’s been a great day: won Body Shop goodies on www.beautyparler.ca, Johnny Depp is Sexiest Beast Alive, year-end work review was positive, it’s sunny outside, and now this…

Style Fille: Kate Moss

kate moss

Speaking of Kate Moss. Just like thousands of others, I’ve always admired this Brit’s style. Effortless is one word that comes to mind. But this outfit, I just can’t decide. I think I really like it, except for the color of her coat (hopefully faux-fur). Is it too orangey?

Wednesday Candy: Sexiest Man Alive – Johnny Depp!

depp moss

When People crowned Johnny Depp as the Sexiest Man Alive (2009), thousands of Twi-hards lost their shit wings…and also sent out their anger in shape of hate-mail to the likes of Lainey Gossip. Did you read her article? Did you read those emails? So much ignorance and hate! And Lainey says that those women are not in their teens…no, those are grown freaking women! For some of those, getting a life might be a tad too late, but seeking help of mental professionals would be just fitting.

On to Johnny. If anyone deserves this title unconditionally, irrevocably, impenetrably, heterogeneously, gynecologically, and disreputably, it’s Johnny Depp. Who else can make a weird eye-lined pirate sexy as hell? Who else oozes sexiness even when he looks grungy and unkempt? Sexiest Man Alive? Johnny Depp! And though a part of me was hoping that Colin Firth would take the title this year, I am perfectly happy with their choice. Thank you, People Mag! Thank you for not giving it to Pattinson!
