Style Fille: Elizabeth Olsen in KENZO x H&M

27 October, 2016 Nelia

First things first…H&M CANADA ONLINE SHOPPING HAS FINALLY LAUNCHED!!! And if you sign up to be on the brand’s mailing list, you will receive 20% off your purchase and free shipping until Oct 30th! What this means for those who are looking to shop the KENZO x H&M collection? Well, you just got an alternative to lining up in the middle of the night. But don’t rely on online shopping as your only way of getting those coveted pieces – sites are known to crash due to high demand.

Now that I got that off my chest (seriously, I’ve been waiting for H&M online shop for AGES!), we can look at Elizabeth Olsen’s amazing KENZO x H&M getup. These two pajama-inspired pieces are at the top of my list, and I love how she styled them with a pair of velvet heels. So perfect. For those who have yet to embrace pajamas as daywear, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. It’s comfy and chic, and I am all about it. Obviously, Lupita Nyong’o also looks super gorgeous in that amazing printed dress, but in this instance, my eyes are permanently glued to Elizabeth Olsen’s outfit.

Are you excited about H&M Canada online shopping being available??? Do you love the pajama trend? Share in the comments!

KENZO x H&M Collection Lookbook

10 October, 2016 Nelia

The full Kenzo x H&M Collection lookbook is here and it’s fun-tastic! With lots of mixed prints, layers upon layers of colourful dresses and separates, and some really cool outerwear, this collection has something for everyone, but mostly, this is a collection tailor-made for all the maximalists out there.

My personal wishlist seems to be growing with every viewing. I love the combination of zebra and regular stripes, the fuzzy green turtleneck, and that dress with the honeycomb pattern mixed with florals looks pretty amazing too. I also NEED that entire outfit in photo #4 – a turtleneck and matching pants of my dreams. There’s lots more to drool over, but I’ll reserve final judgement until I see photos of individual pieces…it’s not always easy to determine which items are layered and which are shown as-is.

The collection will be available in stores on November 3rd, and I can’t wait. What about you? Are you going to line up for Kenzo x H&M? Share in the comments.

First Look at the KENZO x H&M Collaboration

28 July, 2016 Nelia

While I was sunning my buns on vacation in Portugal, H&M released the first sneak peek photos of the KENZO x H&M collection. As expected, the garments look vibrant, printtastic, and super fun. And while the zebra pieces may not be my cup of tea, the pink shearling-lined leather coat is exactly what I didn’t know was missing in my life. And just like that, with one sneak peek, I am foaming at the mouth, anticipating the November drop date like a fashion lemming that I am. Sorry, not sorry.

KENZO x H&M Collaboration to Launch in November 2016!

25 May, 2016 Nelia

KENZO x H&M Collaboration was announced this morning, and I am so excited!!! I love the playful aesthetic of this Parisian fashion house, and paired with H&M, this collab is definitely a match made in fashion heaven. I expect to see a lot of vibrant colours, fun prints, and cool cuts. H&M interviewed KENZO’s Creative Directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon and here’s what they had to say about the upcoming KENZO x H&M collection:

Humberto Leon: ”We like to make sure each piece [in the collection] has its own value and feels special, but at the same time that the collection as a whole feels really united. That means people should be as excited to own a t-shirt as they are to own a dress. Each piece should feel deliberate.”

Carol Lim: ”Yes, and, overall, it’s always about realising strengths and weaknesses. We know what we’re good at and what we can bring. We know what the team at Kenzo is good at and what they can do. We try to give everyone that space to be creative. And then it becomes about letting there be a dialogue between those perspectives. Sometimes, it’s really easy. And sometimes, it’s hard because there are multiple points of view involved. But that’s good! Ultimately, you work it out.”

KENZO x H&M will be available in over 250 H&M stores worldwide, as well as online, from November 3rd, 2016. More details to come!

What I Wore: WMCFW Outfit Roundup

24 November, 2015 Nelia

I’ve been meaning to share some of the street style photos of my outfits from WMCFW, and while it’s been over a month, I really love these photos, so I guess better late than never? This season, with my hair a shocking shade of blue, I had to be careful not to dress too crazy while still staying true to my playful spirit. Naturally, I gravitated to black and complimenting shades of blue, but I also ended up wearing colourful stripes one day, because why the heck not? Let me know which look is your fave in the comments.

Shopping: Fall Edit from Shopbop

24 September, 2015 Nelia

It’s the first week of fall and even though I reaaaally love summer, I have to admit that autumn is a much better season for style. Between cool layers, chic leather pieces, and outerwear galore – we have endless options when it comes to dressing during those cool, but not cold months. And after spending countless hours on one of my fave sites ever – Shopbop, I narrowed down some of the best fall trends and put together this fall edit to hopefully help you find some new faves this season. From flared denim, to leather moto jackets, to over-the-knee boots, there’s something for everyone, so proceed with caution…your wallet may be in danger.

Share your fave pieces in the comments and let me know what are your must-haves this fall!

What I Wore: Miami Ice

17 February, 2015 Nelia

miami-kenzo-dior-7
I don’t know about you, but I am officially sick and tired of winter. This past weekend (Valentine’s Day and Family Day long weekend) was so frigid (felt like -40!!!), that going outside felt like an act of bravery. Le bf and I did manage to go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day, and I did make it to the gym one morning, but the rest of my long weekend was spent on the couch, wrapped in a fluffy blanket, drinking hot tea, and watching movies. Hybernation is the only way to survive, y’all. Which is why we haven’t shot any new outfit posts lately…and also why I am trotting out my last What I Wore post from our long-ago trip to Miami.

I didn’t post it originally because we didn’t take a lot of photos that day, but beggars can’t be choosers, so here it is now…a couple of months later…all sunshine and pretty colours. Makes me want to get away again! Luckily, our next trip is coming soon, but not soon enough!

So tell me, how are you surviving winter? Wherever you are…
