Shopping: Best Boots to Buy This Winter

6 January, 2016 Nelia

We’ve had a pretty mild December, but now that winter is officially here, it’s time to take those snow boots out for a spin. And in case you need a new pair, now’s the best time to shop, since we are right in the middle of post-Christmas sales. Below are my top 6 must-have styles that will get you through winter in style.

Over the knee boots are certainly not going to be your every day pair, but it’s a very  cool style to pick up for those hot dates and special occasions. You can go for the high-heel or a flat version, both will make your legs look nice and long!

Statement boots are my fave style. It’s another one you probably won’t wear regularly, but they save you on those “have no idea what to wear” days. These boots, whether glittery, printed, or patchworked, have the ability to make even the most boring outfits shine. Try a fun pair with black skinny jeans and a peacoat, or go all out – they can be surprisingly versatile.

Depending on where you live, you can probably get away with wearing rain boots instead of hardcore winter boots, with a pair of fuzzy socks for warmth. I actually do that in Toronto on slushy days – my new pair of Sorel high-heel rubber boots is comfortable, warm and looks good with everything.

Wishlist: Coach Legacy Fall 2012 Collection

29 June, 2012 Nelia

Coach-Legacy-Fall-2012-Collection

Ever since I saw these pics, I must admit – I’m really into Coach’s Legacy Fall 2012 Collection. It has everything: classic silhouettes, high-quality leather, and gorgeous colors. What more would you want? I think this collection is one of the best Coach has ever produced – classic, simple, and oh-so-covet-worthy.

What do you think of Coach Legacy Fall 2012 collection? Which style would you want for yourself? Share in the comments.

Shopping: Coach Boutique at The Bay

25 February, 2011 Nelia

Earlier this month, The Bay held a little soiree at its Queen St. West location, to celebrate a new addition to Canada’s favorite department store – a Coach Boutique. There were freebies, champagne, and an overall candy-monium (ha!). Among the feverish crowds, I was able to check out the space, and though I’ve never been Coach’s biggest fan, I was surprised and delighted at the store’s selection. My favorite pieces ranged from the on-trend black leather backpack, which can be found in the men’s section, to the most adorable red patent clutch from the fittingly named youthful line – Poppy. The store itself is lovely and bright…and works really well with The Bay’s new and improved image.

If you are a fan of Coach, which I know many of you are, make sure to stop by The Bay to check it out. And while champagne might not be a daily thing at the boutique, there’s certainly no shortage of eye-candy.

For more locations, visit The Bay’s website.

Valentine’s Day: Gift Guide For Her

3 February, 2011 Nelia

Valentine’s Day is less than 2 weeks away, and I am still stuck on le boyfriend’s gift! What to get for a man that has (seemingly) everything? Well, that’s my problem to solve (unless you have some helpful advice). And though I won’t likely be doing a men’s gift guide this year, here are a few gift ideas for the guys that might also be struggling with what to buy for their beloved (obsessed with that word).

I am always happy to get a perfume for any occasion, and if you know your girlfriend well-enough, a sexy fragrance might just be what the doctor ordered! My current faves are below.

1. Coach Poppy Perfume ($60)
Recently launched, Poppy is simply lovely, with notes of jasmine, gardenia, cucumber, and rose petals. I got a chance to try it for myself, and I must admit that I really liked it! It’s light and fresh…and simply amazing!
2. Calvin Klein BEAUTY Perfume ($89-$115)
I’ve said so much about BEAUTY already. Read all about it here to decide whether your girlfriend might love it, or check out a tester at the mall.
3. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb ($105-$185)
This is the one I use right now. The fragrance is sweet and feminine, the bottle is all glitter and glamour – the best of both worlds!

If perfume is not your (or your girl’s) thing, a few other gifts might sweeten her day.

4. Danier Red Clutch/Wallet ($39 on sale)
Perfect for a romantic dinner out, this leather clutch will hold all of her essentials and spice up her outfit.
5. Louis Vuitton Heart Coin Purse ($455)
Penny-pinching has never been so stylish! Also comes in a showstopping leopard print!
6. Banana Republic Bracelet ($50)
Don’t buy her earrings or a cocktail ring for Valentine’s Day, lest she confuse the small box with an engagement ring! That one might create some awkwardness. Get her a bracelet or a necklace instead. Banana Republic has a really lovely selection (at amazing prices).
7. Locher’s Necklace ($53-$71)
Speaking of necklaces, I’ve been a Locher’s fan for years! The designs are cute and sassy. And if your girl has a sense of humour, I guarantee that she will love it!
8. Heart-shaped Macarons ($4 each)
They are macarons, shaped as hearts. Go get ’em NOW at my fave MoRoCo Chocolat.
9. Your Love (priceless)
If all else fails, a simple I LOVE YOU should do. Adding “just the way you are” at the end will earn you some brownie points. It is a day to celebrate your love, after all…not some materialistic holiday, masterminded by Hallmark to bilk you out of millions of dollars!!!
10. A Card 
Even though I said that thing about Hallmark, most of us (ladies) would still like a card. So make sure to get her one (Papyrus  cards are amazing)! The one I got for le boyfriend this year kicks ass!

So this little post might or might not have been helpful in your search for a perfect Valentine’s Day gift. If it wasn’t very helpful, I am sorry…email me for more genius ideas. Happy Shopping!
