What I Wore: Wynwood Walls

23 December, 2014 Nelia

One of the things I was most looking forward to in Miami was a visit to The Wynwood Walls. After seeing dozens of photos of beautiful murals, painted doors, and even flower walls, I knew it was going to be a very special place, and that we couldn’t miss it. Of course, being a fashion blogger, I had to pose in front of several of my favourite walls, as one does. But there were so many more that le bf and I got to admire, wondering why Toronto’s graffiti alley isn’t as well-known. Although, no offence to our graffiti alley, the murals we got to see in Miami were definitely not your usual street art – those were intricate, interesting, and expertly-painted murals, not your run of the mill “tags”.

We saw murals painted by Kashink, Lakwena, Maya Hayuk, and of course, the infamous flower wall by Fafi – all women artists, who kick ass at street art, which has primarily been a boys club until not too long ago. Inspiring and so very cool to see.

After exploring street art of Miami, we hit up Miami’s new Design District for a delicious lunch at Mandolin, where we sipped unsweetened iced-tea, and nibbled on delicious cheese saganaki, bulghur salad, and kefte, on their lovely patio. One of our most memorable meals in Miami to be sure.

Post-lunch, we climbed into a cab, driven by a crazy woman (she literally drove us crazy), and returned to South Beach to relax by the pool at our hotel. Just another day in paradise.

Holidays 2013: All I Want For Christmas…

18 December, 2013 Nelia

christmas-wishlist

Christmas is officially only one week away and I am getting more and more excited with each passing day. Excited for all the family get-togethers, yummy desserts, holiday movies on the couch, and of course…the presents! This year, gift shopping was a breeze…half of it done online, with the other half swiftly purchased at a couple of select stores in a couple of easy visits. I was even able to grab something special for myself to celebrate yet another year of blogging, working, and keeping it all together. Hooray!

Sadly, le bf wasn’t as lucky. I have to admit, getting a Christmas prezzie for me is kind of a tough task, since I tend to be quite picky and lack any patience, which means that anything I really want (and can afford), I end up getting for myself. So this year, to make his ordeal a little easier, I’m making an official “Dear Santa/Husband” wishlist and calling it a day. Some of these are a little less realistic than others, some are catlady things that I’m pretty sure are on his “banned forever” list, but between the adorable Charlotte Olympia travel kit, and the cutest gummy bear clutches ever, I’m hoping this completely impractical gift guide will get him through this impossible task…and maybe give you (or your man) some ideas too. Happy Shopping!
