Golden Globes 2016: Best Dressed

10 January, 2016 Nelia Leave a Comment

Golden-Globes-2016-Olivia-WIlde-Michael-Kors
I usually love to watch the Golden Globes live – from the red carpet arrivals to the show itself – I find it more entertaining than almost any other award show. But this weekend, I simply forgot all about it! So this Best Dressed list was based on photos and photos alone. To tell you the truth, it was a bit challenging selecting 10 favourite looks, as a lot of celebrities and their stylists opted for either been-there-seen-that, or snoozeville looks. With that said, here are my faves.

Olivia Wilde is not my usual style favourite. Her style is uneven at best, but this time, in this oxblood Michael Kors Collection gown, she looks ravishing (if we overlook her demon-like eye makeup). The dress fits her like a glove, the colour suits her skin tone, and while I think that necklace is completely unnecessary, she still looks mighty good. Bonus points for keeping it real and rocking a pair of great custom-made ALDO heels (#WearCanada FTW!).

Golden-Globes-2016-Cate-Blanchett-Givenchy
It’s no secret that Cate Blanchett is a superior human being, and as such, she would probably make this list no matter what she decides to put on, but it helps when she shows up in a visually-arresting Givenchy gown. I wish some of those strings/dress hairs weren’t so stringy, but beggars can’t be choosers. Other than a stray string or two, Cate The Great looks impeccable, no surprise here.

Golden-Globes-2016-Kate-Bosworth-Dolce-and-Gabbana
I’m not sure why Kate Bosworth was at the Globes tonight, but the fact is, the woman’s got style. This sequinned Dolce & Gabbana gown looks great on her, the print is interesting, and I love that she chose minimal accessories, letting the dress shine.

Golden-Globes-2016-Alicia-Vikander-Louis-Vuitton
Alicia Vikander is quickly becoming my new favourite. Even the fact that she’s dating my boyfriend Michael Fassbender can’t stop me from liking her. She’s marvellous in The Danish Girl, and has been killing it at every event she attends. I am not madly in love with this Louis Vuitton gown, but she makes it work. I love the stripes, the criss-cross back, and the ruffles around the neckline; it’s both chic and simple, and in my opinion, it’s certainly one of the best looks of the night.

Style Days of Christmas: Dolce & Gabbana The One Gift Set

10 December, 2013 Nelia

dolce-gabbana-the-one-limited-edition-giveaway

I can’t believe we are already on Day 8 of Style Days of Christmas Giveaways! Time really does fly. Today’s amazing prize is a very special limited edition Dolce & Gabbana The One perfume and cologne gift set* (valued at $224) – a perfect luxurious prezzie for a sophisticated lady (and gent) on your shopping list.

With top notes of bergamot, mandarin, lychee, and peach, The One perfume is rich without feeling overbearing, feminine, sensuous, and irresistible. All you need is a little dab, and you won’t be able to stop smelling yourself all day. Recently, I’ve started to move away from the girly fragrances I used to be drawn to in my early twenties, and Dolce & Gabbana The One is now my go-to scent for the fall and winter months.

The One for Men cologne is also very alluring. The scent is powerful and spicy, with hints of cedar and tobacco. It aims to be “not a banal classic, but a classic men’s fragrance that would last for years and be the type of scent that women adore”. From this woman’s POV, this is indeed The One. I love the smell of this cologne, and I am sure the special guy in your life will love it too.

Sounds like something you’d like to see under your Christmas tree? Enter the giveaway below!

Independent Spirit Awards 2013: Green with Envy

23 February, 2013 Nelia 2 Comments

kerry-washington-giambattista-valli-spirit-awards-2013

Even though Indie Spirit Awards are the last award stop before the Oscars, both Kerry Washington and Zoe Saldana brought their A-game to the pink carpet. Kerry in a beautiful Giambattista Valli Couture floral dress, matching shoes, and lovely fresh makeup, looked super radiant. For someone who’s mostly on TV these days, Kerry sure does have a great stylist with access to beautiful clothes. I’ve been loving her red carpet choices lately, and can’t wait to see what she wears this Sunday.

Zoe Saldana also wore green, but instead of floral, she went for a chic wide-striped Dolce & Gabbana dress. And though I would probably add some statement earrings or a necklace to this look, I think those white pumps were a pretty kick-ass accessory.

What do you think of Kerry’s and Zoe’s looks? Which leading lady wore green best? Share in the comments.

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013 Ad Campaign

22 January, 2013 Nelia 2 Comments

dolce-gabbana-spring-2013-ad-campaign

Dolce & Gabbana ad campaigns always look like buckets of fun to shoot. Exquisite clothes, gorgeous people, and dreamy vistas. What’s not to love? Shot in duo’s beloved Sicily, the ads once again feature D&G regulars like Monica Bellucci and Bianca Balti, as well as a medley of Italian characters, making these ads look like personal snaps from a stylish, fun, and rowdy family vacation. As for the collection which the ads are meant to sell…I love it! The clothes are sexy and vibrant, the accessories are loud, and I can only wish that I could afford it all.

Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012 Ad Campaign

27 June, 2012 Nelia 3 Comments

dolce-gabbana-fall-winter-2012

Love, love, love this Fall 2012 ad campaign for Dolce & Gabbana, featuring Monica Bellucci, Bianca Balti, and Bianca Brandolini, shot in beautiful Italy, and featuring what looks like everyday family moments. That is if your family has outstanding genes (Monica is magnificent, no?), and wears a lot of Dolce & Gabbana. I also adore this collection…from the baroque prints, to black lace, to gold accents overload…I want it all!

This ad campaign is very similar to the Spring 2012 ads shot in Sicily, but still manages to take my breath away. You like? Share in the comments!

H&M Conscious Collection

3 February, 2011 Nelia 8 Comments

This morning, when I first got these photos of H&M’s new collection – H&M Conscious, I had to do a double take. Natasha Poly, white-heavy garments, romantic and pretty. Doesn’t it remind you of Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2011 show? Same model, similar-looking clothes…but much cheaper and sustainably made. Love it so much! Once again, I can’t wait to see all these pieces in stores!

Here’s what H&M had to say about this collection:

“Sustainability is a long-term trend at H&M. This April H&M, as part of its focus on sustainability, will introduce Conscious Collection, an ongoing range for women, men and kids, made from environmentally-adapted and greener materials such as organic cotton, Tencel® and recycled polyester. H&M’s designers have been inspired by different shades of white, one of the most important colours this spring. A minimalist, tailored look is combined with romantic lace, Broderie Anglaise, frills and draping. The Conscious Collection will be on sale in all H&M stores from April 14th.”
