Marimekko for Target Collaboration Is Launching Next Month!

3 March, 2016 Nelia

Well, if you needed another reason to mourn Target’s departure from Canada, here’s one – Marimekko for Target collection is slated to hit the stores on April 17th, and it looks like it’ll be a good one! A really, really good one! From bikinis, to dinnerware, to teepees, this is going to be one printastic and colourful collab, and I literally want everything! The collection will feature “more than 200 playful, print-centric pieces that span outdoor décor, furniture and entertaining essentials, as well as beach and swimwear for women and girls. Standout items include the paddle board, inflatables, hammocks and swimsuits. The collection also features a number of firsts for Marimekko, including the bocce ball sets and parachutes. And best of all? Most pieces can be yours for under $50.” I mean…how amazing does it all sound?!

But don’t worry, if you live in Canada and don’t have a Target store nearby, you may still be able to snap up a piece or two over at Target Loves Canada – the international version of the e-comm site. I am not 100% sure whether the collab will be available to shop on the Canadian site, but it’s worth a try.

Banana Republic Marimekko Collection Lookbook is Here!

5 May, 2014 Nelia

banana-republic-marimekko-lookbook-5

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve always been very fond of  the Finnish design house Marimekko. Their vibrant colours and iconic patterns are the definition of fun, and when I heard that Banana Republic was teaming up with Marimekko to create a collection, I was stoked! A few months ago I actually got a glimpse at the collection in person, but was not allowed to share what I saw…until now. Now that the lookbook is officially out, I can finally share my excitement about this collab…because I honestly want so many pieces! For budgetary reasons I won’t be buying everything my heart desires, but that full skirt, black and white pants, floral matchy-matchy top and shorts, blue maxi, and a floral blue and green dress must be mine!

The collection is priced moderately, with apparel ranging from $50-$175, and accessories from $69.50-$98. And since I’m currently packing for a much-needed vacation, I am super excited that the 25-piece collection will be hitting the stores on May 22nd, just in time for me to snag a piece of five.

Converse Spring 2012 Collection Preview

7 March, 2012 Nelia

Last week, I stopped by Toronto’s Le Germain hotel for a preview of Converse Spring 2012 collection, hosted by MB Communications. I roamed the room, checking out the new styles, making mental notes as to which pair to buy for le boyfriend this season (the cool-looking “Leather Jacket” pair below), which pair to buy for myself (the extra lightweight mesh Converse), and which pair to gift to my Converse-loving friend (the black and white one from the Gorillaz collab).

Speaking of special collaborations! Converse once again teamed up with Marimekko and DC Comics, to produce awe-inspiring designs both for the folks that like their Chucks with a side of Batman, and those that like their shoes more on the feminine side.

The newest collaboration with the English musical and visual project Gorillaz, resulted in several graffiti-style pairs, that any self-respecting Converse lover would be happy to add to their collection.

After attending this preview, I can attest that there’s a Converse pair out there for everyone. Spring 2012 brings an abundance of classic Converse shoes in a variety of colors (pastels, anyone?), as well as many new and improved kicks, in leather, canvas, and mesh…printed, zippered, and painted over…oh, my!  Pairs that will make you feel like a superstar, or a superhero. All you have to do is decide on which pair to buy.

Converse Spring 2012 Collection is available in Toronto at Get Outside, among other retailers.

Converse Fall 2011 Collection Preview

19 June, 2011 Nelia

I adore checking out Converse previews…spring or fall, I love them all! For next season (aka Fall 2011), DC Comics collab is back full throttle, and I will definitely be picking up the Batmobile pair for my year-old nephew. Marimekko collab will also continue for fall, with signature prints and bright colors. Just looking at those makes me feel happy.

And though the women’s collection showed some promising styles and colors, my favorites this season came from the men’s collection. While the main silhouette remained classic, elements like leather laces, zippers, and fun fabrics were introduced for fall. In my opinion, leather Chucks would be a perfect addition to any man’s shoe closet, and there was no shortage of those at the preview (in grey, camel, black, and more). Another cool thing I noticed, were the abundance of winter styles, rangingfrom the classic Chuck silhouette to the winter-boot-looking styles, lined with faux fur for extra warmth. This way you don’t ever have to stop wearing your Converse shoes, rain or shine.

Converse Spring 2011 Collection Preview

15 February, 2011 Nelia

It’s February, and what does that mean? Spring items arriving in stores daily! Hooray!

Last week, thanks to MB Communications, I got to check out what Converse has to offer this Spring. And I definitely liked what I saw. The main attractions for me was the Marimekko collaboration collection. Bright colors, fun original patterns from the 1960s – I’m officially in love. The Marimekko collab included a new, more feminine Chuck Taylor All Star PJ silhouette, as well as the Jack Purcell Helen, All Star, and Oxford silhouettes. These shoes are perfect for some summer lovin’, and should be in stores now.

Another amazing collaboration for Spring 2011 is Converse x DC Comics. I seriously wished I saw these pairs in stores much earlier, as they would’ve made a perfect Valentine’s Day gift! Most shoes from this collection feature both good and evil characters from the iconic comic books, including Batman, Joker, Wonder Woman (yeah!), Superman, and many others. There are so many cool pairs in that collab, but I am pretty sure they’ll sell like hot cakes. So if you or someone you love is a comic book fan, make sure to track down a pair soon, before they are all gone.

All in all, I was very impressed with what I saw. Apart from the main collabs presented, there were studded Chucks, camo Chucks, woven leather Varvatos Chucks, Jack Purcell Chucksthat James Dean used to wear, and so many more…I wish I could justify buying them all, and if I wasn’t such a high heel girl, I totally would. In the meantime, I think I know what I’m getting for le boyfriend’s birthday!
