Style Fille: Alexa Chung in Charlotte Olympia

5 October, 2011 Nelia

Damn, Alexa Chung looks good! Valentino LRD with my favoritest flats by Charlotte Olympia – makes for an unexpected pairing, but in my opinion it works beautifully. Still drooooooling over these flats…and, boy, if I wasn’t on a strict budget right now, I would be all over them!

What do you think of Alexa’s outfit? Share in the comments.

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia ‘Smoking Cat’ Shoes

19 July, 2011 Nelia

If you know me, you know that I’m not a classic shoe girl. I am all about the quirk, and the wow-factor, and the extra-extra…and these Charlotte Olympia “Hello Kitty” Smoking Cat shoes definitely deliver on all counts. And though initially I was obsessed with the kitty wedge, right now, I actually think I prefer the flat version, which I’m sure I would wear all the time. I just know it.

Also, I own a black cat named Pepper…who looks a lot like these lovely shoes. It’s almost as if Charlotte was thinking of ME when designing these. Coincidence? I think not!

These babies will be available this fall at The Room at The Bay, and are going right on my holiday wishlist. Hint, hint…nudge, nudge.

What do you think? Crazy or crazy awesome? Take the poll below.

Friday Faux Pas: Jeffrey Campbell Fruit Slice Heel

17 June, 2011 Nelia

Friday Faux Pas is back! Yay?

This week’s faux pas is Jeffrey Campbell’s knock-off of Charlotte Olympia’s amazing “Bananas Is My Business” fruit pumps. Yeah, yeah, JC is known to copy other designers, and then selling his shoes for less. But in this case, blatantly copying something so original and unique (or at the very least recent) is definitely disturbing. And though his fruit bowl shoes look like a sad, sad…saaad version of Charlotte Olympia’s gorgessity (clear plastic, really?), I still can’t believe that Urban Outfitters agreed to carry these in their stores.

So what do you think? Are these knock-offs a buy or a faux-pas? Take the poll below.

Shopping: Spring 2011 Essentials

18 March, 2011 Nelia

I am so ready for spring! Sunshine, double-digit temperatures, birds chirping, love in the air…I am missing it all. But is my closet spring-ready? That’s another question.

For months now, I’ve been buying things here and there, trying to make sure that my wardrobe consists of enough fun pieces to carry me through spring in style. And below are my top Spring 2011 essentials (part 1).

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia Python Banana Baker Clutch Bag

8 March, 2011 Nelia

Tipped off by the lovely S. from The Backseat Stylers, I thought my dream of finally owning this amazing clutch/purse from Charlotte Olympia’s Spring 2011 collection was about to become reality. Alas, when I went to Matches‘ website, I was informed that the item is already SOLD OUT! Really, now? What’s a Canadian girl to do in order to get a piece of that banana action? Ok, that came out wrong, but I’m super serious now…

Are we going to see this bag in Canada any time soon? I am looking at you, The Room at The Bay. Make my dreams come true. Please, and thank you.

And if you happen to actually see this bag anywhere on the interwebs (or in stores), please let me know. I will be forever bananas grateful.

Holidays 2010: Dear Santa…

10 November, 2010 Nelia

Ahh, Christmas-time! The time of “giving and receiving as well as having and sharing”. To be quite honest, I struggled with my list this year…not because I don’t want things, but because, mostly, I feel like whatever I do want, I end up buying for myself (excluding Chanel 2.55). So here’s this year’s Christmas Wishlist of things that I haven’t bought for myself…just yet.

1. Salvatore Ferragamo Flats

Classic, comfy, lovely. Also want the “Miss Vara” belt, as seen here.

2. YSL Wallet

Technically, I am in love with the entire Y-Mail collection, but this beautiful wallet would surely rid me of my winter blues.

3. Charlotte Olympia Shoes

Ok, so this one is more of a “dream” wishlist item, considering the price. But after meeting Charlotte at a recent event, I’m not only in love with the witty Brit, but with her entire Spring 2011 collection.

4. Chanel Wallet on a Chain

Not even sure if this one is available in stores anymore, but I adore its simplicity and versatility. Wallet for the daily grind, and a chic clutch for nights out – all in one cute quilted little package.

5. Lanvin for H&M Dress

I don’t even know why I put this one on my Christmas wishlist, since I already know that I’ll be lining up outside my local H&M bright and early come November 20th. But in case Santa can really hear me…Please, please, please, give me luck (and strength) to get the dresses I want amidst the madness that is sure to ensue.

6. Chanel Earrings

These are vintage, and I’ve been looking for a similar pair in gold for quite some time now. Not an impossible item, but surely is a tough one to get.

7. Pierre Hardy for Gap Shoes

These peep-toe wedges are as amazing-looking, as they are kick-ass. Too bad I can’t find a pair in my size!

8. YSL Ring

Various versions of this ring have been available for a while now, and though at first I was clearly smitten with the one in turquoise, this indigo blue ring is a bit more…glam? Regardless, I love this combo the best!

So far, I only have 8  items on my Christmas wishlist. 2 more to come soon…as soon as I see something shiny that catches my eye!

What’s on your list this year? Any suggestion on the remaining 2? Share in the comments!

Details after the jump!
