What I Wore: Power Ball 2016 – Pleasure Principle

6 June, 2016 Nelia 3 Comments

Just look at those inflatables behind me, happy and unaware of the night ahead of them. By the end of Power Ball XVIII: Pleasure Principle, most of those animals would be deflated and Inflatable Culture installation taken apart, creating numerous colourful photo-ops for partygoers throughout The Power Plant. As I mentioned in this post, Power Ball is one of my favourite parties of the year, and this year’s event did not disappoint. Apart from the inflatables, other art installations included Ungentrified by Lorna Mills – a collage of gif-like raunchy video clips, Opium Den by Karen Tam – “response to stereotypical portrayals of Chinese in the West”, complete with a gong and lanterns, Anaglyph by Jordan Sodenberg Mills – mirrors that created trippy 3D reflections, perfect for surreal selfies.

After checking out the installations, I devoured some delicious bites by Parts & Labour, and tried a non-alcoholic jello shot, which luckily wasn’t one of the chicken broth flavoured ones. It seemed that everyone in town was at the party, and I spent the rest of the night socializing and trying not to trip on my Erdem gown. It was definitely a night to remember, and I am already dying to find out what the theme for next year’s Power Ball will be.

So tell me, did you attend this year’s Power Ball? What was your favourite installation? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: Pins and Brooches

25 March, 2016 Nelia 4 Comments

I picked up this T by Alexander Wang bomber during The Outnet’s clearance sale, and loved the simplicity of it. But when it came time to wearing it, I found that it was missing something…turns out it was missing several pins and brooches. After arranging a few of my faves on the jacket, it finally looked complete!

The rest of the outfit came together like a charm thanks to a few stand-out accessories – my new fave Bulova watch – so elegant and timeless, my old fave fuzzy Prada clutch – a perfect match to Odessa Paloma Parker’s Shrimps stunner, and the most amazing choker from Jenny Bird – the one you probably have seen a million times on my Snapchat (@styleblogca if you want to check it out). With other accessories, this would’ve been a completely different look, but I am pretty happy with the way this one turned out. What do you think?

Shopping: Saks Fifth Avenue Opens First Toronto Store!

21 February, 2016 Nelia Leave a Comment

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Saks Fifth Avenue finally opened its chic doors in Toronto last week, and we got a chance to preview it the night before the official opening. Spanning four floors and 25,000 square feet, the store is bright, welcoming, and full of amazing designer finds from brands like Balenciaga, Céline, and Saint Laurent, and exclusive beauty brands like Acqua di Parma, Byredo, and Le Labo. And don’t even get me started on the iconic 10022-SHOE salon – it is amaaaazing!

In May, Leña, a South-American-inspired restaurant and bar by Chef Anthony Walsh will open its doors, offering a premium dining experience with a Spanish influence. And don’t forget about Saks Food Hall by Pusateri’s, which will consist of inspiring culinary stations, and will offer exclusive products, fine foods, services and a deluxe grocery assortment. Both Saks stores (Eaton Centre and Sherway Gardens) promise “a robust calendar of special events, such as fashion shows, personal appearances by designers and trunk shows”.

Having been a Saks customer for many years, I am thrilled that Toronto will finally get 2 stores of our own. What are your thoughts on Saks in Canada? Share in the comments!
