Wishlist: H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection 2016

21 March, 2016 Nelia 1 Comment

H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection 2016 is not only beautiful, one may even call it art. What with prints borrowed from Botticelli, and inspired by Moreau, these gowns may just be the most exquisite H&M clothes you’ll ever set your eyes on. And if you’re getting married and are still looking for an affordable gown, you’re in luck – there are 3 wedding dresses in the collection, and they are all stunning!

“Working with innovative sustainable materials and ornate embellishment, the collection is a layering of references, shapes and textures topped off by intensely decorative accessories and deco-inspired bijoux,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M. Materials used in this collection include organic silk, hemp, recycled linen and Tencel® blends as well as new innovative materials such as beads and rhinestones made from recycled glass and Denimite® a material made out of recycled worn-out denim (H&M is the first fashion company to use).

The collection will be available in approximately 180 stores worldwide and online from April 7, and I for one, can’t wait! What about you? Share in the comments.

Style Fille: Olivia Wilde in H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection

16 April, 2015 Nelia 2 Comments

H&M’s latest Conscious Exclusive collection hits the stores today, and while I already got to shop it yesterday at the brand’s pre-shop in Toronto, I wish this cream cape blazer that Olivia Wilde is wearing here was available too. I ended up picking up the black version, which is also pretty amazing…but I was really hoping to steal this entire look, seeing how I already own a similar Led Zeppelin tee. Oh well, I guess I’ll settle for the black blazer with a white tee instead…should be just as good.

Are you planning on shopping this collection today? Check out the lookbook and be prepared for crowds! Let me know which pieces you picked up, and whether you love Olivia’s look as much as I do.

Shopping: H&M’s Conscious Exclusive Collection Spring 2015 Lookbook

Every spring, I look forward to checking out H&M’s newest Conscious Exclusive collection, and this year’s is finally here! Fronted by Olivia Wilde as the face of this season’s campaign, the collection is full of timeless pieces that I love. Take the cape blazer for example…how sick does it look on Olivia?! It’s a perfect blend of masculine and feminine and frankly, I need it in my life. Same can be said about the rest of the collection, rendered in neutral colours, and classic silhouettes.

“I love the Conscious Exclusive collection at H&M, both for the look, and also for its ethics. This is how all fashion should be: great style that’s naturally more sustainable,” says Olivia Wilde.

H&M’s new Conscious Exclusive collection was created using sustainable materials like hemp, organic linen and organic leather, and will be available worldwide on April 16. Are you loving this year’s collection? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: Exclusive

Even I can’t believe that I finally wore a dress without tights! It’s a ~~Christmas~~ miracle, people!!! Just like that, we went from wet snow to 20+ degree weather…from winter to summer in a matter of days. Not one to waste a good opportunity, I decided to take my new H&M Conscious Exclusive dress out for a spin. With its breezy lightweight fabric, and dreamy blue print, this is the most perfect dress for lazy spring days – dressy enough for a romantic dinner with le bf, but casual enough for a neighbourhood gelato run. It’s definitely a current favourite!

The rest of H&M Conscious Exclusive collection is just as good! With stunning boho dresses, elegant jumpsuits, exquisite matador-inspired embroidered pieces, coolest shoes and jewellery, and so much more…this collection is now in stores and should not be missed. But beware, you may not be able to walk away without getting one of everything. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!

H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection Spring 2013 Ad Campaign

19 March, 2013 Nelia 1 Comment

Good news, lovelies! H&M Conscious Exclusive collection will launch on April 4th worldwide! Following the success of H&M Conscious Glamour capsule, The Conscious Exclusive collection will consist of glam party attire and accessories for both men and women created from sustainable materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester, recycled polyamide, and Tencel. Prices will range from $19.95 – $399.00, making this collection an affordable way to add some Hollywood glamour to your closet.

“Old Hollywood comes alive with Conscious Exclusive, a collection perfect for celebrating the arrival of spring. Rich in detail and eloquent design, the collection is full of dramatic gowns and sharp tailoring for women, and a rock-and-roll, red-carpet style for men. A floor-length dusty pink gown is elegant from the front – and dramatic at the back, which is entirely open – and is made from 100% recycled polyester. The three-piece suit has been given a feminine twist, with a fitted blazer and fitted, high-waisted pants that zip at the ankle, in an organic cotton blend.

There are so many options for living the Hollywood life. An off-white, loose-fitting kimono set has a bohemian air of faded glamour, especially with its pants that sweep to the floor; a jumpsuit has modern edge with its cutaway back; a demure white dress has rock-and-roll romance with its sheer sleeves, asymmetric train and bird embroidery; and there are seemingly endless layers of tulle in a corseted dress that feels like it just stepped out of a bygone world. The collection is completed with accessories, such as an embellished box clutch and elegant minimal heels with the slenderest of ankle straps. Everything is made from more sustainable materials.”

I, for one, can’t wait to get my hands on a few pieces from this collection, but the one MUST HAVE dress on my list is the below white long-sleeved “mullet” lace dress, which needs to be in wardrobe RIGHT NOW!

What do you think of this new Conscious collection? Will you be hitting the stores come April 4th? Share in the comments!
