What I Wore: Canada Day

5 July, 2011 Nelia

First of all, I wanted to apologize for the amount of wrinkles on my shorts in these pictures. I can already hear you yelling at me for not being a good blogger, and posting these wrinkled-ass shorts pics. Well, in my defense…this is what cotton shorts look like after a three-hour-long drive to Lindsay. Yes, it took us three hours to get to Lindsay, ON last Friday. Three glorious hours of Ace of Base, Best of Backstreet Boys, some old school Puff Daddy, and Nana thrown in for good measure, with a dash of Bryan Adams Unplugged. It was either that, or Indian music, courtesy of my friend Donkey. Thanks, but no, thanks.

The reason for our trip to the mysterious faraway land of Lindsey was to visit our friend Jo. She and her hubby had the crazy idea to relocate there (of all places), and this was our first attempt at being good friends and visiting the fam.

Truthfully, it wasn’t all that bad. Lindsey, I mean. Yeah, it was way too far for my liking, but the fact is…the beach is a quick drive away, Kawartha’s best ice-cream is the most delish thing I’ve had all summer, and there is something very charming about a neverending backyard. So, after some hot dogs (yum), Barefoot Bubbly Moscato Spumante + Pom Juice Cocktails (yummy), some homemade smores (yummier), and the most amazing…no, seriously, the creamiest ice-cream ever…I was ready to move right in.

Instead, I was dragged back to Toronto, kicking and screaming. Until next time.

PS. According to le boyfriend, this is not a Canada Day outfit…this is a Poland Day outfit. And though technically, there’s no such day, I would never be able to convince the stubborn Aries otherwise. So yeah, I looked like the Polish flag on Canada Day. Quick, call the Prime Minister!

I Wore: Shirt, Ring – Forever21; Shorts – Banana Republic; Shoes, Bracelets – H&M; Bag – c/o Ecco; Sunglasses – Ray Ban (c/o Lenscrafters)

Lenscrafters RxHIBITION Event with Mena Suvari

27 May, 2011 Nelia

Did you know that only 11% of the glass-wearing population actually get prescription for their sunglasses? Not a presription wearer myself, I can’t imagine spending a hot summer day sunglass-less, squinting and not protecting those peepers from the harmful UV rays. Well, Lenscrafters has a perfect solution for you, squinty eyed person with vision problems. Their RxHIBITION program allows you to replace the lenses of your Lenscrafters sunglasses with prescription ones, quickly and efficiently. You should also know, that if you buy eyewear from Lenscrafters, on top of lovely service and great selection, you will also be getting a 90-day unconditional guarantee, one-hour service, and free adjustments and cleanings for those brand new (sun)glasses of yours! Sounds like a damn good deal to me.

Lenscrafters  carries a vast variety of brands for every personality out there: D&G, Burberry, Ray Ban (my faves), DKNY, Tory Burch, and many more. You can even take an online quiz, just like the attendees of the RxHIBITION event did, to determine which eyeglass frame personality type you are. I, myself, was deemed a Style Maven (ha!), though I usually tend to gravitate towards the Classic Wayfarer look more often than not. Either way, the quiz is quick and fun, and helpful, especially if you are cripplingly indecisive.

The event’s gorgeous hostess – actress Mena Suvari – attended last week’s event, sharing that she’s a longtime fan of Lenscrafters, and prefers the classic shades like Ray Ban, herself. And though Mena had lasik eye surgery to fix her vision problems, she still rocks her fave Lenscrafters sunglasses all year long.

So tell me, do you use prescription sunglasses? I’d love to hear your stories!

More photos after the jump!

What I Wore: The Cat’s Pajamas

27 May, 2011 Nelia

Lately, I’ve been straight up obsessed with pajama pants. Ok, maybe not actual pajama pants, but pants that strongly resemble the said loungewear piece. What’s not to love? They are comfy, breezy, and super cool (at least in my mind)…le boyfriend has his own opinion on this one.

This pair is from Zara, and I love how it billows in the wind, creating almost a maxi-skirt-like effect. Breezy, I’m telling you!

So what’s your take? Should pajama-looking pants stay indoors? Let me know in the comments!

I Wore: Top, Pants, Shoes – Zara; Bag – c/o Ecco; Bracelet – Urban Outfitters; Sunglasses – Ray Ban (c/o Lenscrafters)

What I Wore: Like Dandelion Dust

23 May, 2011 Nelia

Can someone please tell me why dandelions are considered a weed, and carnations are still called a flower? I really don’t get it. Personally, I am a huge dandelion fan. Seeing those fuzzy-looking yellow flowers popping up all around the city is a clear sign that summer is on its way, and sunny days are ahead. This year, I’ve been extra sun-deprived (exhibit one: see my corpse-colored legs above…no photo-editing was performed…they really are that grey), so I’m thinking that I’ll have to resort to self-tanners.

Any good ones out there that won’t turn me into a Snooki lookalike? Something drastic must be done to take care of this grey skin situation. Some girl on the subway actually gave my legs a disgusted look…though it might’ve been directed at the suspicious looking puddle on the floor…but I think it was my legs. So…any advice, short of hiding in a basement until winter rolls around again? Help!

I Wore: Skirt, Blazer, Belt – H&M; Top – Forever21; Shoes – Aldo; Bag – c/o Ecco; Sunglasses – Ray Ban (c/o Lenscrafters); Earrings – Chanel
