H&M Conscious Glamour Collection

Color me super-impressed! My fave fast fashion retailer H&M is stepping up its design game. Launching on April 12th in around 100 stores worldwide* is H&M Conscious GLAMOUR Collection, featuring mind-blowing dresses, and separates for an H&M addict (like myself) with glam things to do, people to see, parties to attend…or for the lack of glam parties…to strut around the house feeling oh-so-pretty.

“To celebrate the rise of glamour, H&M has created the Exclusive Conscious collection of red-carpet looks that have all been made from more sustainable materials like organic cotton and hemp, and recycled polyester, as part of H&M’s Conscious initiative. The glamorous collection shows the diversity of what has become possible with greener fashion, with each outfit an individual style that stands on its own, to reflect the scope of red carpet fashion today.”

My jaw pretty much dropped to the floor when I first laid eyes on the ruffled dress above…I mean…Carrie Bradshaw in Paris came to mind immediately…and I knew then and there that I needed to have that dress (along with half of this collection). H&M Conscious Glamour Collection has already been worn by Oscar-nominated actresses like Michelle Williams and Viola Davis…as well as Kristin Davis (there’s the SATC connection!), and Amanda Seyfried. And now I’m literally counting down the days until I’ll be able to get my claws into a few of these gowns…Forget wedding planning! April 12th can’t come soon enough.

What do you think about H&M Conscious Glamour Collection? You have to love it! You love it, right? Right? Share your thoughts in the comments.

*H&M Conscious Collection will be available at the Eaton Centre in Toronto, as well as select stores in Vancouver and Montreal

SATC2 Style: London Premiere

28 May, 2010 Nelia 9 Comments

I don’t even know where to start with this one…it’s like the Friday Faux Pas bonanza…all in one picture! Can I just say that the oldest woman of the four is looking the best here? Kim Cattral doesn’t disappoint and is looking pretty hot with that hair, and lipstick, and a simple black dress, perhaps a little on the boring side too…but that’s the least of their problems here.

First of all, can we talk about SJP’s hat? Last year she also wore a hat…it was daring, and not the most flattering choice, but it was ok…it was fitting for her character. This time, it’s obviously for the same character, but SJP is no Lady Gaga, and I don’t think she should try to be…and it almost feels like she’s running out of ideas, so out comes the hat. The sleeping bag dress, the black cloud (Lost’s MIB anyone?) hat, and that weird one-boob bodice…adds up to a big fail for me. I’m sorry, but this is no Carrie Bradshaw. You might think that she looks fabulous, and that her headpiece is fashion-forward, but I just don’t get it. Maybe it’s a fail on my part.

And then there’s Miranda aka Cynthia Nixon. Why, Cynthia??? WHY? The hair? The g-damn Kate Gosselin extensions? You’re Miranda-freaking-Hobbs, not some washed up reality TV mom. Add to that the crotch stain, and we’re done here. I’m sorry to hate on the Sex and the City four, simply because the show is so near and dear to my heart…but these ladies have stylists, and assistants, and an entourage…Why isn’t someone telling them that they are looking gnarly? Ahh, it breaks my heart, but the London premiere outing is a bit of a big disaster in my opinion.

Oh, and Kristin looks nice, I suppose. A tad boring, but at least her hair is lovely, and there are no visible stains on her dress…

SATC2 Style: NYC Premiere

26 May, 2010 Nelia Leave a Comment

Sex and the City 2 movie opens tonight at 12am, if you have tickets to the midnight showing that is. I am sure it’ll be mayhem, so I’ll wait a couple of days till the hysteria dies down a bit. In the meantime, here are Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda at the NYC premiere of SATC2. I love how their gowns represent their characters so well! Don’t you think? And since I’ve been obsessed with polls lately…exercise your snap judgement below.

Friday Faux Pas: Sex And The City 2 Poster

1 May, 2010 Nelia Leave a Comment

What in the Heidi Montag Plastic Surgery Photoshop Hell is this? Are we supposed to believe that these four computer-generated mutants are Sex and the City girls? Carrie looks like the girl from The Exorcist – with her head doing the 360 spins…and seemingly not belonging to her body…Charlotte has dead eyes, skin, and…in general looks deceased. Miranda is…well, Miranda looks ok…And then there is Samantha…or Sharon Stone…or some transvestite that performs Sex and the City themed shows every Saturday night at El Convento Rico…or a burn victim…mannequin…something plastic and definitely not human or alive or real. Is this Sex and the City – the computer game? I just don’t understand!

This is Sex and the City! Couldn’t they hire better photoshop-professionals? Couldn’t they arrange a quality photoshoot for all four ladies at the same time, instead of photoshopping them from different stock photos? I really don’t understand. If this was my artwork for Digital Graphics class in high-school…my teacher would certainly fail me and tell me never to come back to her class again.

This is blasphemy and sabotage. Or perhaps it’s a joke? Yes, that’s it. This is a deliberate hoax…and not a real poster. It can’t be…it just can’t.

SATC2 Style: Official Photos

12 March, 2010 Nelia Leave a Comment

Seeing these new official photos of the fab four made me so very happy, as it’s been a while since I’ve seen any new pics from the set of Sex and the City 2. I do realize that there’s a good chance that the movie won’t be anything to toast a Cosmo to, but I can’t help but be excited for the release in May. All I know is my girlfriends and I will be there on the opening weekend, rain or shine. And even if the plot is cringeworthy, the fashion might still be its saving grace. From the looks of the photos, I am expecting lots of bright colors with a Moroccan twist. Can’t wait!

SATC2 Style: Carrie and Charlotte in the 80s

17 September, 2009 Nelia Leave a Comment

Wow. We’ve already seen Samantha’s wild child look, as well as Carrie’s super curly do. Well, now we have Carrie as Madonna and Charlotte channeling Jackie O. Hmm, seems to me that the story relies heavily on the 80s flashbacks. And considering that the Sex and the City ladies aren’t getting any younger, I am very curious to see if they can pull it off without looking…well, old. I guess we’ll see when the movie comes out.

She was rocking that tutu even in the 80s!

SATC2 Style: More Shoes, Please!

8 September, 2009 Nelia 3 Comments

I don’t know why, but every time I see new photos of Sarah Jessica Parker and the gang filming SATC2 scenes, my heart leaps a little. It’s definitely part nostalgia, but mostly…it’s the accessories! More specifically – the shoes. Pat Field has this amazing ability to make clothes (and characters) come to life by pairing them with appropriate shoes/bags, etc. Love her styling choices so much!

Don’t you just love that they re-used Carrie’s Dior newspaper dress from Season 3 (very fitting to recycle it in this economy)! I guess it can be considered vintage now? So far the only outfit that I actually hate is Charlotte’s pink “power-suit”. It reeks of Businesswoman Barbie to me. Can’t wait to see more Carrie outfits…More shoes please!
