What I Wore: Solange, Coco, and Minnie…Oh My!

5 November, 2014 Nelia

wmcfw-day-1-spring-2015

Another WMCFW season has come and gone, and this time I found myself at the tents every single day, and saw more shows than I normally would have. As such, my full fashion week recap is going to be up sometime next week, with my fave new designers, outstanding pieces, and fave collections, as well as the beauty recap from our contributor Aleyda. But for now, here’s a post about all of the fun outfits I wore to the tents last month.

Thanks to a slew of wonderful photographers like Ania Boniecka, Aleyah Solomon, Jenna Marie Wakani, Ryan Emberley and Stefania Yarhi, among others, I was able to document every look from a variety of angles and lenses…candid and not. It’s a bit of an exercise in narcissism, but hey, this is a style blog, what did you expect?! Let’s get to it, shall we?

On day 1, I ran into the lovely Talia Brown, and we were snapped together for FLARE Magazine. I didn’t bother with my outfit on day 1 – mainly because I had a very intense day at the office, so I simply swapped my ankle booties for a pair of ALDO heels, and my work bag for an ela clutch, and that was it.

After the shows, we were treated to a VIP party courtesy of Joe Fresh, with Solange Knowles on turntables. We were literally inches away from this stylish beauty, but I’m still not sure if waiting nearly 3 hours for the privilege was worth it. My feet were crying by the time I got home.

On Day 2, I actually managed to change out of my office clothes, and into a fun faux leather overalls from H&M. Knowing that a Minnie Mouse party was in the cards, I made sure to grab my trusty sequinned Minnie ears, which completed my look that day. To add a bit of Canadian flare to my outfit, I wore one of my fave falconwright clutches to the tents.

What I Wore: #ALDOALIST

19 December, 2013 Nelia

aldo-a-list-party-yorkdale-5

Last Sunday, I woke up bright and early and headed to Yorkdale to host a party at ALDO’s Toronto flagship. The store opened earlier than usual, welcoming A-list guests with refreshing orange juice and breakfast brownies (my favourite!), as well as 20% off the entire store! The party was thrown in honour of Noelle, who won a special #ALDOALIST contest from Virgin Radio, and as such, she was ALDO’s celeb for the day – hanging out in her very own VIP booth at the store, and shopping with her besties before the store’s official opening hours. Lucky girl!

But Noelle wasn’t the only lucky winner that day. I was also super pumped to meet Ariel, who won an ALDO shopping spree from this season’s Style Days of Christmas Giveaways. It was so wonderful to do a little shopping with Ariel and see her favourite pieces. With her $200 ALDO gift card, Ariel picked up an elegant bag, a pair of boots, a hat, and some jewelry. Not a bad haul! Not bad at all. And you know what? Seeing Ariel’s and Noelle’s faces light up with excitement made waking up early on a freezing Sunday morning totally worth it.

Isabel Marant Pour H&M Collection Preview

30 October, 2013 Nelia

isabel-marant-hm-collection-preview-23

It’s so close, I can almost taste it! Isabel Marant Pour H&M collection will hit the stores worldwide on November 14th, and last night, I got the chance to preview the collection, touch the pieces I’ve been coveting, and make my personal shopping list. I have to say that I was sincerely hoping to walk away hating everything (for my wallet’s sake), but, alas…that did not happen. Instead, I left the preview wanting and aching to get my paws on at least a dozen of oh-so-Marant pieces. But since I am a responsible adult, my current must-have list includes a pair of black leather pants, black tuxedo jacket, and a cozy shaggy sweater – that’s it! Those are the only pieces that I will allow myself to buy…but ask me again on November 14th, and my answer may (or may not) change.

Are you getting excited yet? Share your must-have list in the comments!

Celeb-studded Isabel Marant Pour H&M Collection Paris Party

25 October, 2013 Nelia

isabel-marant-pour-hm-paris-fashion-show-6

Last night, Paris was the place to be! Beautiful celebs like Audrey Tautou, January Jones, Freida Pinto, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Olga Kurylenko, Alice Dellal, Mélanie Doutey and Lou Lesage gathered in the city of lights to celebrate the launch of the Isabel Marant pour H&M collection. Guests at the celebration got a chance to shop the collection early and some came decked out in coveted pieces from the highly-anticipated collaboration that will be available for the mere mortals like us on November 14th!

“We wanted to present the collection in a way that felt real and casual, not a red-carpet extravaganza: this is how I see my work. I design for everybody and am constantly inspired by the world I see around me, so it felt natural to have an urban setting as the backdrop of the event. And it had to be Paris, because the city is part of my DNA,” shared Isabel Marant.

“This street celebration was the perfect way to launch a collection that oozes the energy of cool Parisian style. It felt optimistic and real: a reflection of Isabel Marant’s knack for urban sophistication and bohemia. I think the collection for women, men and teen captures her spirit and I hope our customers are as excited as we are for the launch,” said Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Advisor at H&M.

And while we weren’t in Paris to celebrate the launch of Isabel Marant pour H&M, these images of happy models, confetti falling from the sky, and celebs looking gorgeous in their Isabel Marant pour H&M gear definitely convey the feeling of fun and excitement that surely permeated the air that night. Now the countdown REALLY begins…Less than a month to go. What’s your shopping strategy for this one? Share in the comments…and don’t forget to scroll down for more photos from the party.

Isabel-Marant-HM-11-Vogue-lookbook-6

Just days after I posted the first Isabel Marant for H&M sneak peek, the entire lookbook and collection images hit the web! How’s that for timing? First up – the lookbook. I was so excited by Marant’s choice of models for this one! Alek Wek, Milla Jovovich, Constance Jablonski, Lou Doillon…love, love, love! Styled perfectly, looking smashing! And the pieces? They exceeded my expectations. First of all, I NEED Alek’s entire look, along the white lace top, white leather (?) side-tie pants, gold-printed dress, and a couple of men’s cardigans. Isabel Marant for H&M, I’m coming for you!

Isabel Marant for H&M Sneak Peek!

22 September, 2013 Nelia

Isabel-marant-h&m-sneak-peek

The highly-anticipated Isabel Marant for H&M collection is set to hit the stores on November 14th, which, if you think about it is VERY soon! So when I saw the sneak peek of the collection, published in Harper’s Bazaar, I got really excited! While I was expecting to see a lot of tribal pieces, the sneak peek proved that the collaboration will be much more than that!

Earlier this year, H&M posted 2 other sneak peeks of the collab, a dress (and possibly boots) from the women’s collection, and a sweater from men’s. Both very distinctly Marant. The Harper’s Bazaar article shared that the collab will also include tees, sweats and tribal-chic jackets similar to what the designer showed in Spring 2010, embroidered dresses similar to Fall 2012 collection, and oversized and cropped  “shaggy sweaters” made of loops of wool yarn. “We did a kind of knitted ‘fur’ in wool, which is super cool,” Marant said.

And if you were worried about the quality aspect, don’t! Here’s what Isabel Marant had to say about the collaboration: “It was clear from the beginning that we didn’t want to just do a cheap version of Isabel Marant, so we worked around keeping a really high level of quality in the fabrics and the manufacturing, doing things by hand.” Sounds promising to me!

What do you think about Isabel Marant for H&M? Are you getting excited? Share in the comments.

Isabel Marant pour H&M Collection to Hit Stores This November!

11 June, 2013 Nelia

isabel-marant-pour-hm-3

Stop whatever you are doing! This bit of news deserves a happy dance! Uber-chic Parisian designer Isabel Marant is the next designer to collaborate with fast-fashion giant H&M. Known for her it-girl-beloved effortless chic clothes, the designer had this to say about the collab: “I am flattered by this collaboration: H&M works with the best designers and this invitation is an exciting honour. I aim at creating something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian: you dress up, but do not pay too much attention and still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be mixed following one’s own instincts: my take on fashion is all about personality”. Available from November 14, 2013, in around 250 stores worldwide and online (though sadly not in Canada), the collection will feature clothing and accessories for women and teenagers. Isabel will also, for the first time, create a collection for men.

Exciting, right?! Since I’m still drooling over her Dicker boots many years after they’ve been first released, I cannot wait to see what this collab will look like. I expect a lot of Marant-esque prints, and some cowgirl-inspired pieces like the jeans that Marant is wearing in the photos. For everything else…we’ll just have to wait and see. So tell me, are you excited about Isabel Marant pour H&M collection? Share in the comments!
