Jimmy Choo X H&M Ads Are Here!

20 October, 2009 Nelia

jimmy choo2

Remember that Sex and The City episode when Carrie missed the last ferry to Manhattan because she lost her “Choo”? Well, November 14th the H&M versions of the famous shoes will be available in select stores. As I’ve mentioned before, I am a little underwhelmed by the previews of the collection, but then again, I’ll need to see it in stores to decide whether any of the pieces are worthy of the precious space in my already overcrowded closet. So far, I really like the Grecian-looking leather dress that Tamara Mellon is wearing, as well as the thigh-high leather boots. But purchasing those will definitely depend on the fit. What about you? Are you counting down the days until you can get your hands on a pair of Jimmy Choos for H&M or do you think that the collection is overrated?

Rodarte for Target Preview

14 October, 2009 Nelia

rodarte-x-target-look-book-01

It’s finally happening! The first look at the Rodarte for Target collection lookbook is here! Hooray! And so far it looks very promising! I love the ribcage print on this mini dress, but wish it wasn’t sequined. Hopefully the collection also has a similar t-shirt dress, which I would love to rock with some tights and boots. Hotness! But since it hasn’t been officially confirmed that the above image is in fact from the collection’s lookbook, we’ll just have to wait for a confirmation* and more photos. Rodarte for Target collection hits stores December 20th, 2009. I am so excited about this one! Are you?

*Update: Seventeen magazine has more photos of the collection here. So it’s confirmed, the dress is a part of the Rodarte for Target collection! Woohoo!

Topshop Holiday Collections Preview

6 October, 2009 Nelia

topshop-holiday11

I’ve been so preoccupied with the many fun and exciting things happening, that I completely stopped paying attention to things like…it’s OCTOBER ALREADY! What that generally means, is that the holiday season is nearly here, and very soon the crazed shoppers will start hitting the malls in search of fresh blood Christmas gifts. It also means, that pretty soon we all will need holiday outfits! The search never stops! Well, thankfully, Topshop people are much more on track than I am, and both Topshop and Kate Moss for Topshop holiday collections will be available in stores come November. In the meantime, we have a preview of the few pieces from the two collections.

And while I love Kate Moss’ style as much as the next fashionista, I am not in love with her pieces, especially considering the price range of $100-$400 (and that butterfly dress!!! WTF?)! My fave items, surprisingly, come from the main Topshop collection in shape of the sequined dress ($410), red velvet undies set ($150), and the black rope dress ($210). All of which, though cute, still seem grossly overpriced! I’ll definitely be waiting to see what becomes available at Zara and H&M. What about you? Are you loving any of the pieces?

Hear Me Roar

5 October, 2009 Nelia

VoguePelle7Web

Had I (or the magazine) forgotten to credit the photographer in this post, Scott Schuman’s signature style of photography would surely give it away. This Vogue Pelle spread was shot by the infamous Sartorialist, and I am very much in love with it. The clothes are so well-captured and the colors so rich, that it makes me want to pull out all of my leopard-print garb and pile it on right this second. Don’t you just looove the printed blue tights? Must. Have. I tend to wear a lot of dresses to work, and sometimes, tights are the only way to spice up otherwise boring work outfits. Wish I had more time to roam around Toronto, taking street style photos. Alas, work gets in the way of shooting…Priorities, priorities. Hope you’re having a bearable Monday. I am super sick, but more posts are coming soon!

Shopping: H&M Divided Exclusive

1 October, 2009 Nelia

hm dress

I am still searching for a dress to wear to the wedding in less than 2 weeks, and I am still empty-handed. Le sigh. I just get so annoyed that I always see covetable dresses when I don’t have an occasion to wear one! Next time I see one, I am definitely pouncing on it and saving it for a later occasion, because apparently Murphy’s Law also applies to clothes-shopping.

I had time to kill yesterday before my bellydancing class, so I went to H&M. Was pleasantly surprised by the new shipment of new fall clothes, and especially Divided Exclusive collection, which is now in stores! So awesome! The dress above, I just don’t have any words for it. Should I? I’m thinking about it, while it’s on hold until the end of the day today. And if you can’t afford the Opening Ceremony’s Wild Things look, look no further than H&M, with their long black furry vest that I love, love, love! Would look so hot with thigh-high boots, and only $80! Below are a few other finds from my last-minute shopping trip, as well as an LBD attempt for the wedding. Fail!

Mission Impossible: Boot Shopping

21 September, 2009 Nelia

zara boots4

If there’s an upside to Fall, it would have to be shopping for Fall clothing. I’ve been boot hunting for a while now, and while I did pick up a pretty nice pair of Over-the-Knee Boots from Guess, I still am searching for that perfect pair of biker boots for my more casual days. And although (my) history shows that I tend to neglect my flat boots, I think this time will be different! Here’s some boots I spotted at Zara recently. Should I get black, brown, grey, or beige biker boots? Studded? With buckles or chains? Suede or leather? So many options…it’s really tough to just pick one! What’s a girl to do?!

Jimmy Choo for H&M Preview

18 September, 2009 Nelia

jimmy-choo-for-hm

Call me crazy, but I am not very impressed with preview photos of Jimmy Choo for H&M collection. The pieces look nice, but not AH-MAZING! Which is strange, because I loved the last few designer collabs with H&M, but not really feeling this one. I’m blaming the rising expectations and the fumbling economy. Are you going to choo-choo-choose to shop this collection when the time comes in November?

Zara Lookbook Fall/Winter 2009

17 September, 2009 Nelia

Zara_LookBook_5

Oh Zara, how I love thee! Another wonderful lookbook from my favorite Spanish store. Awesome styling, a lot of classic pieces mixed in with some trendy items, and the result is pretty great! My fave is the layered fur vest with a leather jacket underneath. I am definitely going to try that! The leather skirt is also a must-have piece for fall. Are you excited about fall clothes yet?

Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga…again

4 September, 2009 Nelia

balenciaga2 2009

I’ve always admired Jennifer Connelly’s beauty and acting chops, so was pretty excited to see her starring in Balenciaga ads again. The clothes are beautiful, while Connelly herself seems to almost disappear (apart from her awkward posing). Which I guess is the point – helps showcase the clothes, not the person wearing them. Love the rich, opulent colors and fabrics. Moody gorgeousness.
