Anna Dello Russo x H&M Collaboration Sneak Peek!

anna-dello-russo-hm-2012

Have you heard yet??? Anna Dello Russo is collaborating with my fave fast-fashion retailer H&M! Don’t you just love waking up to good news? Judging from the sneak peek photos - the accessory collection will be full of GOLD, GOLD, and more GOLD! And I honestly love it so much! Available from October 4th, 2012, in around 140 stores worldwide and online, the collection will feature jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, bags and a carry-on “allowing H&M customers uniqueness at an affordable price”.

“I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist, I know accessorization is essential; it is the personal touch in any outfit. With these pieces, everybody can have fun, and turn an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day”, says Anna Dello Russo.

Are you as excited as I am? Share in the comments!

Giveaway: Marni at H&M Flower Necklace

Marni-HM-White-Flower-Necklace

Marni at H collection launched this morning to extra-long line-ups, and people sleeping on the streets overnight to get in on the Marni action. Well, if you weren’t very lucky today, and weren’t able to get your hands on a little-something-Marni, I have good news for you! In honor of International Women’s Day (or The 8th of March, as we call it in the Soviet block), I am giving away a white flower Marni at H necklace to one of my readers! I was lucky enough to be able to pre-shop the collab last night, and walked away with some great loot, including one extra necklace to give away!

Interested? Read the rules carefully after the jump!

Wishlist: Marni x H&M

marni-h&m-accessories-wedding

The Marni at H collection will be hitting the stores this coming Thursday, March 8th, and I seriously cannot wait! My wishlist right now is fairly simple – a few pieces of jewelry, printed tee, and the cutest swimsuit ever…but I know that once I enter that store – all bets (and wishlists) are off. I still can’t decide which dress to get (maxi or knee-length), which pair of pants to pick up (shiny brocade, or pajama shorts)…and seeing how I’m on a strict pre-wedding budget, I really have to pace myself…or go broke trying.

Will you be lining up come March 8th? And if so, which pieces are currently on your wishlist? Share in the comments.

Wishlist: Ben-Amun

I am officially obsessed with Ben-Amun Jewelry by Isaac Manevitz! Obsessed. Was staring at the coin necklace for a few days, when I finally decided that I “needed” it in my life. Yup…needed that Ben-Amun gold chain coin necklace. It’s a necessity, you see? Not surprisingly, I’m also in love with the rest of his gorgeous vintage-inspired baubles, from the chain + crystal bracelet (which would actually be quite perfect for my wedding), the star & spikes mixed chain bracelet and necklace, lucite cuffs, and so much more. Seriously, Ben-Amun, where have you been all my life?

Am I late to the Ben-Amun party? Have you known about the brand waaaay before me? Share your fave pieces in the comments.

Wishlist: YSL Ycons Collection

How freaking awesome is the new YSL Ycons collection? From the enamel cuff and rings, to the oh-so-lovely charm necklace…I literally want every single piece! YSL Ycons ($295-$695) are a perfect blend of whimsy, style…and everything I love: hearts, stars, “love” charms, and YSL - it’s like it was made just for me…

So if you feel compelled to buy me a Christmas gift this year, you know what I want (what I really, really want)! YSL YCONS with a pretty bow on top! Please, and thank you.

Swarovski Spring 2012 “Swing, Sing, and Shine” Preview

As I stepped into the Gardiner Museum’s Terrace Room last month, I was overwhelmed by the abundance of colors, sparkle and shine of Swarovski Spring 2012 collection.

Set to the tunes of the swinging sixties, the “Swing, Sing, and Shine” preview was full of bold and beautiful jewels fit for a modern woman who likes a hint of vintage styling to her accessories. As a bride-to-be, I’ve been on the look-out for some pretty bling to add to my wedding day ensemble, and I think I might’ve found it in the Spring 2012 collection. From chunky bracelets, to drop earrings covered in mini crystals, to glam mesh necklaces – there was no shortage of pieces to drool over. Some of these pieces would make amazing Christmas gifts…the only catch is…they won’t be in stores for another couple of months. Don’t you just hate waiting?

Which Swarovski Spring 2012 pieces caught your eye? Share in the comments.

LG Fashion Week: Caroline Neron Spring 2012

Even though I got to check out Caroline Neron’s Spring 2012 LGFW pre-show walkthrough, nothing could prepare me for the joy that was about to follow. The joy of a campy, yet gorgeous spectacle of floating chiffon, cascading body jewels, and ethereal headpieces, with models sauntering and gliding down the runway - giving Victoria’s Secret models a run for their money.

“Spring/Summer 2012 collection emerges from the divine nature of water, air and earth. Silk, leather, wood, metal and crystals come to life in a modern and sophisticated alliance, designed by Bijoux Caroline Neron“. As I shared with one of the ladies at the show - this is how I want to look at my wedding – dripping in diamonds, while a wind machine gently tousles my hair. Ok, not really…but the look of a shimmering goddess was so tempting, that I seriously wished I had more occasions for this kind of opulence.

As some of you already know, I am a huge fan of Caroline Neron’s jewellery line. The one piece by Neron that I own, never fails to get me a compliment, and a “where did you get it?”. Well, pretty soon, the brand will have 14 stores across Quebec, with plans to expand across Canada and internationally (in 2012-2013), so more people can get in on the action. And after attending her Spring 2012 show, I seriously cannot wait until we (the shopaholics of Toronto) get a store of our own.

For the video of the show (and trust me, you want to see it), please go to the FDCC website. Enjoy!

TIFF 2011: Swarovski Fashion Suite

Ahh, TIFF! Celebs in town, gifting lounges all over the place, and parties, parties, oh, and did I mention PARTIES? Yes, Toronto is the place to be during the first two weeks of September – there’s no doubt about it!

Last week, I met up with my blogger/real-life friend Monica to check out the Swarovski Fashion Suite at the Four Seasons Toronto. Not knowing what to expect, I was stunned by the one-of-a-kind pieces displayed.

Making its one and only Canadian appearance, was the handcrafted Daniel Swarovski Catwalk Collection, which included both clothing and accessories – all of which looked both stunning and unique, adorned with crystals, feathers, sequins, and leather…oh my!

And though, only real stars got shiny baubles to wear on TIFF red carpets, checking out the swanky lounge and oggling the priceless pieces (seriously, these are not for sale) was fun enough for us. Though I would definitely not complain if I had something this glam to wear to TIFF parties!

What I Wore: EXpress Yourself

Wore this little number to The Ex this year – comfortable and cute, just the way (aha, aha) I like it! Also wore my newest favorite piece of jewelry from Caroline Néron. The detailing on this exquisite necklace is so intricate…I have been wearing it with everything to everything, and get nothing but compliments. In case you didn’t know, Caroline is a Canadian actress turned jewelry designer. If you haven’t seen her pieces before, make sure to check out her website Bijoux Caroline Néron.

This year’s visit to The Ex was a lot of fun…as expected. We tried some fried cola (tastes like coke-flavored funnel cake), played lots of games (le bf won a pink Blah for me), and gorged on Tiny ~~Tim’s~~ Tom’s donuts. It’s amazing how much fun one can have shooting cork bullets at cans (fact: I have good aim), or pelting rubber chickens into pots.

Have you gone to The Ex this year? You still have a few days to get in on the EXcitement! Fried butter, anyone?

I Wore: Dress – Forever21; Clutch – Prada; Shoes – Marc (Imelda); Necklace – c/o Caroline Néron

Shopping: Birks Jewelry

We all know what a certain blue blue box has become synonymous for (all together now) – Tiffany! But here in Canada, we have our own blue-box-central – and that’s Birks jewelry stores. Not only do they carry gorgeous engagement rings, wedding bands, and other bling, but as I recently found out, they also collaborate with notable Canadians (ESTY, Joannie Rochette, Jenn Heil) to create unique and timeless pieces.

There were so many pieces at Birks that I found myself coveting, and though many of them are out of my current budget, I thought I’d share them with you anyway!

At first glance, Birks Blue Collection’s engagement rings, though gorgeous, didn’t look much different from the rest. But if you take a closer look, you’ll notice tiny diamond-cut saphires embedded in each piece. Something blue on your wedding day? Birks has you covered!

Birks Needlefish Collection by ESTY is full of beautiful modern pieces, “capturing the very essence of sea life”, much like the Birks Seaside Collection. Those starfish earrings are totally going on my wishlist!

Aside from their signature collections, the company also sells vintage pieces, like the most adorable leopard brooch, and the decadent lapis lazulis and freshwater pearl bracelets above. They will cost you a small fortune, but if you’ve got the money to spend - you’ll be sure that your purchase is a unique piece of art with plenty of history behind it (and cute to boot).

If vintage is not your steeze, I am sure we can all agree that those Gucci bamboo drop earrings are to die for! Oh, and there’s a matching bracelet available too.

So what do you think about Birks’ selection? Share in the comments.

From Santa With Love

So, after months of waiting, Christmas has come and gone. And apart from the extra pounds gained from eating turkey roast beef, various mayo-based salads, deviled eggs, prosciutto wrapped breadsticks, sfoglia, tiramisu, and a ton of chocolates…all that’s left are the presents…not that I’m complaining.

And though DVDs are certainly an amazing gift for Christmas, seeing how I’ve been watching How I Met Your Mother non-stop for hours now, my top three gifts this year were:

1. Ghost Chair (from Kitchen Stuff Plus)

2. YSL turquoise ring from (from Saks)

3. Chanel chain necklace/belt (from Chanel)

Granted, I loved everything else Santa brought me this year, but these certainly made me jump with excitement! Did you get everything you hoped for from Santa this Christmas? Or did you get everything you wanted during Boxing Day sales?

Wishlist: nOir Natasha Ring

Things you might not know about me yet:

1. I like cute things
2. I like things that remind me of my heritage
3. I like things that are bright and colorful

This nOir Natasha ring is all of those things combined! With an additional bonus of a removable top doll! Didn’t you ever have one of those ballerina dolls hiding in a flower? And when you wind it up, the flower opens up to reveal a dancing ballerina? I used to love things like that – a thing concealing an even cuter thing. Combine it all, and you’ll understand why I am going nuts over this ring. But then again, that $225 can be spent so many ways on so many other more important “things”…and do I really need another costume jewelry piece in my ever-expanding closet?

I can go on and on in circles forever…the question, however, remains…to buy or not to buy?
