What I Wore: Winter Is Coming

18 November, 2015 Nelia 1 Comment

If you live in Toronto, you know we’ve had a pretty good run weatherwise. Thanks to this mild and sunny fall, we all got more use out of leather jackets and light coats. But (and don’t hate me for saying this), I think it might be time for heavier coats…perhaps not for the heavy-duty parkas just yet, but definitely for those faux fur chubbies and cozy wool coats.

Just in time for those plunging temperatures, I picked up this reversible faux fur jacket at Ann Taylor during their Friends & Family sale at 30% off, and it was like buying two coats for the price of one – a furry one and a nylon one. I’m not happy about the weather changing, but this coat is making it just a little more bearable.

What I Wore: It’s a Cape, It’s a Coat!

17 October, 2014 Nelia 1 Comment

I am conflicted about fall. There’s a number of things I dislike about it (waking up in the dark, cold weather, rainy days), but sometimes the stars align and you get such a perfect autumn day that it makes you forget all about the negatives (and the inevitable winter).

On one of those perfect fall days (cool, but sunny) I finally got to wear my beloved H&M Studio Fall 2014 cape jacket, and it was lovely. The coat kept me warm, while those cape sleeves let my body breathe without feeling like I’m being roasted alive. It’s a keeper, I tells you! I also got to wear my knee-high boots for the first time this season…I didn’t wear them nearly enough last year. And there you have it…just a couple of weeks ago, I was all about summery dresses, and now I am fully into fuzzy, furry, warm outerwear. Isn’t Canadian weather fun? And by fun, I mean unpredictable and completely nuts.

H&M Studio Collection Fall 2014 Lookbook

26 August, 2014 Nelia Leave a Comment

We are almost in September, which means a couple of things – fall and fall fashions. And while I’m certainly not a fan of cold weather, I am usually all about fall collections. Last February, I posted photos from H&M Studio’s Paris Fashion Week show, and now, we finally have official lookbook images, and photos of most pieces that will be hitting the stores on September 4th.

I have my eye on a few things from this collection, including the faux fur jackets, and that gorgeous striped dress. And while I do hope that warm weather will stick around just a bit longer, living in Canada comes with a few certainties, and one of them is – winter is coming…eventually, so it’s never too early to buy a plush faux fur coat.

Will you be checking out the collection next week? Which pieces are you coveting? Share in the comments!
