Holidays 2012: New Year’s Eve Pajama Party

24 December, 2012 Nelia

new-year-pajama-party

As much as I love getting dressed up and partying it up on New Year’s Eve, this year, I just don’t feel up to it. Perhaps I’m getting old, but the thought of wearing a skimpy dress while it’s freezing outside, and dragging my butt across the city to a crowded and overpriced party just doesn’t have the same appeal this year.

So instead of getting all dressed up, my friends and I will be doing the opposite – having a pajama party at someone’s house! And best of all, I won’t have to look shlumpy either. The PJ trend has been around for a while now, and some of the coolest looks I’ve seen as of late feature some sort of a fun twist on the sleepwear trend. So this New Year’s Eve I’ll be rocking my newly-acquired black with white-piping H&M PJs, Charlotte Olympia velvet kitty flats, and a bold necklace to dress up the look, while sipping delicious Pinnacle Whipped Vodka cocktails and playing Cards Against Humanity (aka best game ever!) with some of my dearest friends. Comfy, inexpensive, and fun.

So what about you? Are you planning to go out and party all night long? Do you know what you’ll wear? Let me know in the comments!

Pinnacle Whipped Vodka Recipes after the jump!

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia Lunatic Clutch

12 September, 2012 Nelia

charlotte-olympia-moon-clutch

Remember those Charlotte Olympia Luna shoes I posted about in July? Well, now I also want one of these Lunatic clutches as well! As always, Charlotte is a woman after my own heart, with her whimsical yet functional designs, perfect for those looking to inject some fun into their wardrobes. I, for one, am a total kitsch lover, and therefore cannot resist these lovely clutches. Somebody, please ice my credit card, stat!

What do you think of Charlotte’s Lunatic design? Is it too crazy for you, or just crazy enough? Let me know in the comments.

Friday Faux Pas: Another Blatant Charlotte Olympia Knock Off

31 August, 2012 Nelia

charlotte-olympia-kitty-flats-knock-off

I realize that a lot of fast fashion brands tend to “borrow” ideas from the more expensive brands, but this particular knock-off really takes the fake cake. Unlike Jeffrey Campbell with those Fruit Pump knock-offs, Go Jane hasn’t even bothered to change up Charlotte Olympia’s nearly iconic kitty flats design. The cat face is undeniably similar to Charlotte’s kitty, and though this pair will only cost you $19.40, these cheap faux-suede loafers certainly don’t look nearly as good as the original pair.

But what do you think about this? Is it wrong for Go Jane to blatantly rip off an original design, or do you think it’s not a big deal? Take the poll below, or comment to share your opinion.

What I Wore: Sisterhood of The Crazy Pants

9 August, 2012 Nelia

spots-pants

I literally sat and stared at my screen for hours before I came up with that title…mostly because I was too busy watching the trainwreck that is “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”. So I apologize in advance if this post is extra dotty today.

As you can see, my crazy pants obsession continues, but with polka-dotted, floral, pajama, python, plaid, and all other kinds of pants taking over my closet, I know I can’t be the only one! So what I’m trying to say here is…sisterhood of crazy pants, anyone? Anyone?

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia Luna Pump

25 July, 2012 Nelia

Charlotte-Olympia-895-LUNA--1024x794

Charlotte Olympia strikes again! This time, she’s got me dreaming about her Fall 2012 Luna pumps ($985), which remind me of the Dolce & Gabbana Face Wedges I was coveting back in 2010. So basically, what I’m saying is that it’s been 2 years, and I am still really into silly, kitschy, whimsical things. Sigh. I guess some things never change.

What do you think of Charlotte Olympia’s Luna Pumps? Is it something you’d ever wear? Share in the comments.

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia “Baboushka” Bag

22 June, 2012 Nelia

charlotte-olympia-matryoshka-doll-bag

The moment I saw this Charlotte Olympia “Baboushka” bag (GBP 375), I knew I had to have it. It’s like Charlotte continues to design things with me in mind…first the black Kitty Flats that are a carbon copy of my cat Pepper, and now this matryoshka bag! Oh, Charlotte…you know me so well.

Here’s hoping that Nicholas Mellamphy orders a few of these for The Room. Fingers crossed.

What I Wore: Copycat

16 May, 2012 Nelia

charlotte-olympia-jacob

Last Sunday, le bf and I took our amazing moms out to brunch at La Societe to celebrate Mother’s Day with yummy French Toast and Eggs Benny…because nothing says “I love you” like eggs and Nutella.

To mark the special occasion, I wore a pretty dress, paired with my fave kitty flats. And if my outfit looks strangely familiar to you…it might be due to the fact that I “borrowed” it from the lovely Alexa Chung. Only her dress was Valentino, and mine is from Jacob. That’s right…my outfit is decidedly more affordable AND (partially) Canadian. I mean, come on…I win, right? Right? Tell me I win and I’ll send you a cookie…it may or may not be fully baked and/or burned, but it’s the thought that counts, people!

What I Wore: Flare Magazine Blogger Style Spring Shoes

19 February, 2012 Nelia

Flare Magazine Spring Shoe Feature

Exciting news, lovelies! Yours truly, along with a bunch of amazing Canadian bloggers was featured in Flare Magazine’s Blogger Style Spring Shoe post! After being asked to rock my fave pair of spring kicks for the feature, I needed less than a second to decide which pair to actually wear…and if you’ve been reading long enough, you already know the answer to my non-dilemma – my dearest Charlotte Olympia Kitty flats!

After months of lusting after these adorable flats, I bit the bullet and picked them up at The Room at The Bay, and have been dying to wear them ever since. As you can see, my spring shoot, included piles of snow behind me, so in reality I still have not worn these kitties out. But soon enough, I will be wearing them all over town…all the time. Le bf still looks on in disbelief, unsure whether to call me a crazy cat lady, or just crazy. But what does he know?

So what about you? Do you have a fave spring shoe that you simply cannot wait to bust out of your shoe closet? If so, do tell!

Style Fille: Winter White

6 December, 2011 Nelia

Today I give you not one, not two, but three Style Filles! From SJP’s snowflake-inspired feathered Louis Vuitton number, to Alexa Chung’s Christopher Kane sparkler, to Cate (The Great) Blanchett’s see-through, yet classy Louis Vuitton frock, I am seriously loving this White After Labour Day trend! Don’t you?

And since I am seriously biased towards those kitschy-yet-cute Charlotte Olympia Kitty heels that Alexa is sporting, I will let you decide which star looked best in winter white. Take the poll below, and cast your vote!
