Alexander Wang x H&M Collection To Launch in November 2014!

14 April, 2014 Nelia

alexander-wang-h&m-collection-coachella-2

Happy Monday, lovelies! And it’s a happy one indeed, because this weekend it was announced that the next H&M designer collaboration will be with none other than Alexander Wang! Launching on November 6, 2014, the Alexander Wang x H&M collection will feature apparel and accessories for men and women and will be available at 250 stores worldwide! The announcement party at Coachella looked like a blast, with celebs like Alexander Skarsgard, Kate Bosworth, Iggy Azalea, Fergie and Katy Perry in attendance.

As the first American designer to ever team up with H&M for a designer collaboration, Alexander Wang says, “I am honoured to be a part of H&M’s designer collaborations. The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to pushing boundaries and to setting a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.”

To me, this collab makes a lot of sense, because of Wang’s cool, youthful aesthetic, which will certainly appeal to the majority of H&M’s clientelle, and I can’t wait to see which direction this collection will take. Here’s hoping for some cool leather bags, fun sunglasses, body-con dresses with strategically-placed cut-outs and draping, and of course some hot heels too!

Style Fille: Erin Wasson at CFDA Awards 2013

3 June, 2013 Nelia

erin-wasson-alexander-wang-cfda-awards-2013

Wow. Just wow. Had this gown been available before my wedding, this is what I would’ve worn on my big day. That’s how much I freaking love this dress. In my opinion there was noone better dressed at the CFDA Awards this year. Erin in her white Alexander Wang was perfection personified. Perfect accessories, hair, makeup. Not too much…just perfect head-to-toe.

Do you agree? Who was your CFDA Awards 2013 best-dressed pick? Share in the comments.

Wishlist: Balenciaga Fall 2013 Shoes by Alexander Wang

28 February, 2013 Nelia

balenciaga-shoes-fall-2013-alexander-wang-paris-fashion-week

We’ve all been waiting for it – Alexander Wang’s first-ever collection designed for Balenciaga! Presented during Paris Fashion Week last night, Balenciaga Fall 2013 was full of chic covet-worthy pieces. “I’m going back to the roots, identifying the codes of the house, and translating them into a functioning, full wardrobe,” said Wang, and while I truly loved the entire collection, I fell IN LOVE with the shoes.

I mean…just look at them! These shoes are classic, and yet they are not. Chic, but edgy. Comfortable? Probably not, but I want them all nonetheless. These shoes are what dreams are made of. And today, I am going to enjoy dreaming.

What did you think of Wang’s first effort designing for Balenciaga? You can see the entire collection HERE.

What I Wore: Dream Wardrobe

1 February, 2013 Nelia

nelia-belkova-kathryn-wilkins

How awesome is this illustration of me rocking my dream Spring 2013 pieces like the now-infamous checkered Louis Vuitton dress and these hot-to-trot Alexander Wang sandals?! Pretty amazing, non? Well, this is all thanks to my friend Marcus, who introduced me to artist Kathryn Wilkins and her lovely blog LOOKBOOKILLUST! Once I saw the multitude of gorgeous illustrations and the attention to detail that Kathryn puts into her pieces, I knew I had to commission her!

This isn’t the first piece that Kathryn did of me, but it’s the one I asked her to do for my blog’s new header. If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that I’m (very) slowly changing up the look of the site, and this adorable addition is just what Style Blog’s been missing. While deciding on what to “wear” for this illustration, I decided to go with aspirational dressing, rather than my good-old real clothes. Just because I can’t afford the entire Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 collection doesn’t mean that cartoon Nelia can’t.

If you like this illustration and would like one of yourself, or your dog, or yourself and your boyfriend/friend/husband/mom/goldfish, Kathryn is still accepting commissions, so if I were you, I’d jump on that before some huge company scoops her (and her talents) up. She already got a fun gig working for Bourjois, so who knows what’s next for this amazing woman!

What do you think of cartoon Nelia? Do you like Kathryn’s work? Share in the comments!

Alexander Wang Spring 2013 Ad Campaign

16 January, 2013 Nelia

alexander-wang-spring-2013-ad-03

I’ve been daydreaming about these amazing Alexander Wang Spring 2013 shoes for months now, and seeing them in this ad campaign shot by Steven Klein and starring Polish model Malgosia Bela has definitely reinvigorated by shoe-crush. These shoes/boots are (for the lack of a better word) HOT, and I hope I can get my hands on a pair this season.

Shopping: Fall 2012 Essentials

11 October, 2012 Nelia

fall-2012-must-haves

Fall is the most dangerous time of the year…for my wallet. What with gorgeous coats, boots, and leather pieces all over the place, I can’t help but drool over so many (too many) things. And while I try to be good most of the time, some things are just necessities. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself.

Above are just a few of those “necessities” of mine. Curious to know what yours are. Share in the comments!

Full list after the jump!

Wishlist: Alexander Wang Sonja Strappy Pumps

8 August, 2012 Nelia

alexander-wang-sonja-pump

For my friends and I, the “F-word” isn’t what you might imagine…Salty language aside, our dirty “F-word” is…FALL. As in – the season before the cold and neverending winter, and one that comes after my beloved summer. But even for someone like me (a person that hates cold weather), fall has its benefits. Yes, I’m talking about the clothes!

We all know that with cooler temps, come cooler clothes and accessories, and this year is no exception. There are so many awesome fall pieces on my wishlist already, some that aren’t even in stores yet…like these gorgeous classic-with-a-twist Alexander Wang Sonja Pumps ($485). The moment I saw them, I knew they had to be mine.

I don’t need to tell you that these will go with anything and everything, but they will. And the fact that the heel isn’t 500 million inches high is a huge plus for someone who’s always on the go. But the question is…are these special enough to warrant their steep price tag? What do you think?

Wishlist: Alexander Wang Spring 2012 Pumps

3 February, 2012 Nelia

Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and this is what I want to see under the Christmas tree…err…I mean under my nose, first thing in the morning when I wake up on February 14th. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge. I want these Alexander Wang Bianca/Joan Spring 2012 strappy pumps or bust. Nevermind the fact that they aren’t yet available online (well, not on any of the sites I frequent), because if le bf truly wants to make these happen, he just will. Unreasonable expectations? Never!

But seriously, ladies (and gents?), aren’t these ah-mazing? I think I would probably buy a pair in black…but the cream pumps also look pretty tempting for spring. Thoughts?

Alexander Wang at Holt Renfrew in Toronto!

12 July, 2010 Nelia

If you’re a fan of this CFDA Award-winning designer, then you need to get yourself to Holt Renfrew on Bloor St. on July 21 for a chance to meet Alexander Wang!  I’ll definitely try to make it to Bloor St. at lunch time. See you there?

Buy, Keep, or Toss: Backpack

17 May, 2010 Nelia

Trends come and go, which makes getting rid of old things super tough. Take shoulder pads for one, had my mom kept her power suit tops for me, I wouldn’t have had to spend a small fortune updating my wardrobe with Zara/H&M pieces. Same goes for the new trend in bags – backpacks. Had I kept my old one…brown leather and tiny…perhaps I wouldn’t have shelled out for my Chanel one.

Seeing how this new trend is popping up on stylish shoulders of celebs such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Whitney Port, Rihanna, Daisy Lowe, and Rachel Bilson, among others, and with Stella McCartney designing for LeSportsac, as well as a miriad of designers including backpacks on their Spring and Fall 2010 runways, options are no longer limited to the usual Prada nylon backpacks…there are so many choices available – dressy, sporty, preppy. Yet, still, this trend is definitely not for everyone. What are your thoughts on this one?

Would you buy a backpack, pull an old one out of the closet archives, or would never-ever wear consider wearing one?
