Shopping: ERDEM x H&M Collection Lookbook is Here!

15 October, 2017 Nelia

The ERDEM x H&M Collection will be arriving in stores and online on November 2nd, and now that the lookbook and official collection images are finally out, we can all start strategizing! Considering that prices for this collection go up to around CAD300, I will have to be very careful…otherwise I may end up spending way too much on this one. First of all, I NEED that floral suit, sequin slip dress, and hoodie…but I am also super into that Victorian blouse, leopard print coat, bow earrings, and strappy heels…Aghh…so tough to decide!!

Shopping: H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection Spring 2017

27 March, 2017 Nelia

It’s become a bit of a spring ritual for me, waiting for the H&M Conscious Exclusive collection images to drop, knowing that I’ll most likely want it all (or at least the majority of the collection), and this year is no exception. As always, the Conscious collection is chock-full of perfect party frocks and standout accessories, all made of sustainable materials.

“For this year’s Conscious Exclusive collection at H&M, we thought not only about the look of the pieces, but also how they feel and sound. It’s a collection to please all our senses, and also our desire to be sustainable in everything we do,” says Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M’s Head of Design and Creative Director. And while I don’t know how the 2017 collection feels and sounds, it sure does look amazing. Currently on my wishlist is the pink sequined cocktail dress, a pair of statement earrings made out of recycled glass and plastic, and a frilly frock with a delicate hand-drawn print. I am also contemplating several other pieces…but will have to see how they look in real life.

H&M Conscious Exclusive Spring 2017 Collection will be hitting the stores (and online) on April 20th, prices ranging from USD 12.99 to USD 399, and will include a selection of styles for kids and a set of fragrances for the very first time.

If you are in need of a few exceptional pieces to wear this spring/summer, then you must check out the lookbook images below. Share your thoughts 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.

H&M Studio Fall 2016 Collection Lookbook

18 August, 2016 Nelia

Back in March, I wrote about the H&M Studio Fall 2016 collection presented during Paris Fashion Week. The eclectic collection definitely caught my eye, what with the abundance of embellishments, textures, and prints. Well, the wait is almost over, as H&M Studio Fall 2016 collection will hit the stores on September 8th, and until then, we have this beautiful lookbook and photos of the entire collection to feast our eyes on. Personally, I’ll be on the hunt for this tiger-print dress, a couple of velvet pieces, jacket with chain details, rose earrings, and that gorgeous navy striped pantsuit.

What about you? Are you excited about H&M Studio Fall 2016? Share your faves in the comments.

2 February, 2016 Nelia

Guys, I’m pretty sure that winter’s been cancelled!

I guarantee that you’ll love Aritzia Spring 2016 Collection Lookbook – it’s the epitome of spring chic!

Shopping: #HMBALMAINATION Lookbook

3 November, 2015 Nelia

Every single time H&M announces a designer collaboration, there’s a huge amount of hype and excitement…but #HMBALMAINATION created a full-on hysteria I’ve never experienced before. Perhaps it’s because pieces from the fast-fashion collaboration look nearly identical to Balmain clothing from past collections, or maybe it’s due to the skilful marketing, which included top model of the moment Kendall Jenner attending events wearing pieces from the collection, Backstreet-effing-Boys performing at the launch party in New York, and Olivier Rousteing doing his fair share of promoting his work all over social media…and then there’s the upcoming holiday season and all the holiday parties that come with it, which Balmain x H&M pieces will be perfect for.

Whatever the reason for #HMBALMAINIA, if you want to snag something from this collection, it may be a challenge, but it’s not impossible. Quantities are said to be limited, but if you live in a major city like Toronto or Montreal, or better yet in the US, where you can shop H&M online, there’s still hope! Even if you don’t live in the US, I would highly recommend trying to order pieces from the collection online and shipping them to a friend who lives in the states, a hotel (if you plan on travelling to the US soon), or one of those mailbox rental places. The website will most likely crash from all the demand, but there’s still a good chance that you’ll be successful without having to camp outside overnight. Luckily for Torontonians, temperatures will be quite mild this week, so in case you are lining up, you should be fairly safe from pneumonia. I was told that most pieces run small, so take that into consideration.

Personally, I thought I would be immune this time around, as I was never that crazy about Balmain to begin with…but after seeing photos of the collection, I am totally obsessed. My shopping list isn’t very long – black tuxedo dress, beaded velvet jacket, and a simple white blazer – but with the velvet jacket retailing for over $500, it’s still going to be one expensive trip to H&M!

So tell me, are you going to line up on Thursday? Which pieces are on your wishlist? Share in the comments…and may the odds be ever in your favour!

Sneak Peek of H&M Studio Spring 2016 Collection

9 October, 2015 Nelia

Paris Fashion Week came and went, and I just realized that there was no H&M Studio fashion show this season. But don’t fret, I found some sneak peek photos of the H&M Studio Spring 2016 collection instead, and the pieces are pretty awesome. Think vibrant colours, exciting prints, modern silhouettes, and a whole lot of sweet vacation vibes. Yes, please!

“H&M Studio for spring/summer 2016 is an adventure in style. Our girl is always exploring, whether she’s on the city streets or on the trip of a lifetime. She mixes function with femininity, sportswear with pieces for a party, and whatever she wears she always looks effortless,” says Pernilla Wohlfarth, H&M’s head of design. And I couldn’t agree more! From the looks of it, I’ll be picking up a few pieces come spring, to take on a few adventures of my own…and I can’t wait!

The collection will be in stores and online from February 25th, 2016.

Shopping: H&M Studio Fall 2015 Collection Lookbook

24 August, 2015 Nelia

I wrote about H&M Studio Fall 2015 collection back in March, and now that the September 10th launch of the collection is mere days away, we have campaign images, as well as photos of the entire collection! And while you may not want to think about fall just yet, some of the pieces are bound to sell out, so planning ahead is a must.

For me, standouts from the collection include outerwear, leather and printed pieces; I also love the strappy camis that would be a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe. I will be previewing the collection later this week, so watch my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the up-close-and-personal pics!

Shopping: Andrew Coimbra Fall 2015 Collection Ad Campaign

17 August, 2015 Nelia

I don’t often write about menswear on the site, but Andrew Coimbra’s designs don’t just work for men – a lot of the pieces from his collections can actually be worn by both sexes. Andrew, who’s worked with such renowned Canadian brands like Pink Tartan and Philip Sparks, and interned with Proenza Schouler in New York City, is a talented young, who certainly should have a bright future ahead of him. His modern cuts, stellar prints, and tongue-in-cheek details should earn him all the accolades he deserves, but as is often the case in Canada, we don’t start supporting our homegrown talent until they have already made it abroad. Here’s hoping Andrew Coimbra can achieve that here on home turf.

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

23 March, 2015 Nelia

1155_102_PR
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!
