What I Wore: MasterCard Stylicity Canadian Tuxedo

24 October, 2013 Nelia

When I was asked to style my version of the Canadian Tuxedo for MasterCard Stylicity, I have to admit that I wasn’t sure if I was up for the challenge. I mean, yes, of course I own a chambray shirt or two, and my closet is full of denim…but the idea of wearing the two together has never been my idea of a chic outfit…not on me. But surprisingly, once I added a bejewelled sweatshirt from Banana Republic and a pretty white necklace from M for Mendocino, my Canadian Tuxedo actually became very me. Mission accomplished!

But here’s the best part – MasterCard would like to see YOUR version of the Canadian Tuxedo. Simply Tweet or Instagram a photo of yourself using the hashtag #Stylicity and you will be entered to win a $2000 prepaid MasterCard. Super easy! And it doesn’t even have to be denim on denim, so get creative! More details HERE. Good luck!

Rewind 2012: A Year in Photos

8 January, 2013 Nelia

I have to admit, so far 2013 is kicking my butt. I caught a cold on January 1st, found fraudulent activity on my debit card, and have had pretty bad migraines all week. Hopefully, from here, the only way is up.

But don’t you worry about me! 2012 was pretty sweet, so instead of focusing on the negative, I’ll just look back on some awesome moments from last year, and hope that things turn around soon.

1. The best thing that ever happened to me in 2012. Sorry if it sounds cheesy, but spending time with our friends and family in Italy, and then marrying the love of my life was a dream come true. Truly. Seeing our wedding featured in the pages of Wedding Bells was a cherry on top.

2. In February, I participated in a fun photoshoot with fellow bloggers Gracie and Elizabeth for Holt Renfrew’s blog Holts Muse. Shot by the talented photographer Adam Moco, this was a fun project to be a part of, and definitely started my year off right.

3. Had I ever dreamt that one day I’d have a byline in FLARE MAGAZINE?! Nope. But that’s exactly what happened in 2012. Granted, it was for Flare’s website, but I was simply thrilled to write my 9 Unique Ideas for Wedding Day Style story in April. Flare also showed Style Blog some love in their Flare Magazine’s Wear Canada, Blogger Style: Spring Shoes, Back to Work, and Street Style round-ups! What a year!

4. Canadian retailer JACOB asked a few Toronto bloggers to help them create a Live Chic City Guide to Toronto, and I was super excited to be a part of it! Featuring bloggers’ favourite Toronto hot spots, this guide is an awesome way to explore the city and visit some of its lesser known attractions.

Shopping: Black Friday and Cyber Monday Wishlist

26 November, 2012 Nelia

While Canadians tend to save the majority of their holiday shopping for Boxing Day, our US neighbours get to go all out on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And as someone who’s lived in the US, I can attest to how tempting some of those deals can be. But what usually stops me from doing some major damage and taking advantage of every awesome sale out there (apart from the budget, of course) are those pesky duties, and shipping and handling charges.

Well, if there’s something on your list that you simply MUST have this season, you MUST check out MasterCard Canada’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals that will be in effect until December 10th! With great offers like Free Express Shipping, Discounts, and DUTY FREE SHIPPING from some of my fave US retailers like Barneys New York, Bloomingdales, Gilt, Saks Fifth Avenue, and more, shopping those Cyber Monday deals has never been easier…and cheaper.

Right now, my wishlist is pretty short, and I am still trying to decide between finally getting my hands on a Miss Lanvin doll, Barneys x DVF vinylmation figure, or that gorgeous printed Prada clutch. A Christmas prezzie from me to myself. Don’t forget to treat yourself too! Happy Shopping!

Toronto Fashion Week: Canadian Essentials from eLUXE

22 October, 2012 Nelia

toronto-fashion-week-essentials-eluxe

Toronto Fashion Week is here, and our city is buzzing with excitement of SS13 collections, street style photographers on the prowl, and media, bloggers, and industry folks flooding the tents on King Street. And since I wasn’t able to hit the shops last weekend to pick up a few things to wear this week, I checked out eLUXE’s wide assortment of Canadian-designed pieces instead!

From a roomy bag, to a statement blazer, to oh-so-necessary eye cream, it has never been easier to add a few Canadian pieces to your wardrobe (and beauty cabinet too!). And with special MasterCard Stylicity eLUXE deal ($25 credit when you spend $75 or more, $25 off purchase of $75 or more), the timing couldn’t be more perfect. So take advantage while you can!

What I Wore: Toronto Life’s Most Stylish Party and Fashion’s Night Out Toronto!

11 September, 2012 Nelia

Toronto-Life-Most-Stylish-2

What an EPIC day last Thursday was! It all started with a visit to Toronto Life’s Most Stylish party held at the new Shangri-La Hotel downtown. Toasting Toronto’s most sartorially gifted, this event was one of the best I’ve attended in a long while. Greeted with life size cardboard cut-outs of the 25 Most Stylish, my friend Lisa and I made our way around the room, checking out the immaculately dressed crowd, and snacking on pretzel bread grilled cheese sandwiches, fresh oysters, and caviar. Fancy!

I also got to finally meet Andrew Coimbra, the winner of Toronto Life’s Most Stylish Reader contest (which I was also a part of). And I have to say, he was the WORST! Just kidding, he was pretty awesome, and we are now the best of friends. True(ish) story.

After mingling at Toronto Life’s fancy party, Anita and I headed out into the night…more specifically into Fashion’s Night Out! Our first stop was eLUXE’s pop-up shop, full of candy, Smythe jackets, and Rebekah Price baubles, where we did a little mugging for the cameras at the photobooth. It was FUN!
