“Hi Nelia, I’ve recently discovered your blog and I LOVE your style. I’m having a style dilemma, maybe you can help.What type of accessories would you wear with this dress, and is it ok to wear flats? I’m a mother of 5 so I never wear heels.Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.” – S

Wishlist: Pamela Love x Nine West Boots

28 September, 2012 Nelia

pamela-love-nine-west-boots-3

As we are all gearing up for colder temps, shopping for warm layers and boots becomes a priority. So imagine my delight when I learned about the amazing Pamela Love x Nine West collaboration. I was thrilled! Still am, actually. These gorgeous vintage-looking moto boots ($299) look super comfy (but so cool), and would be perfect for lazy weekends, and fun nights out alike. Can’t wait to get my paws on a pair…or two, come October 30th.

“I really felt the idea of the traveler riding on their motorcycle through the Southwest summed up my brand and my personality more than anything else. I wanted to design a boot that could have been from another time, and I wanted it to feel tough,” says Love about the collab.

What do you think? Would you ever wear these Pamela booties? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: MVP

3 August, 2012 Nelia

green-pleated-dress

Last time I blogged this dress, I paired it with comfy flats and silver accessories…this time, I wore it with heels and gold accents. The fact that I love it both ways just speaks to the versatility and wearability of this dress, which is probably why I wore it so many times this summer! Maybe it’s the color…or the pleats…whatever it is, it makes me happy when I wear it, and I think it shows.

Do you have a piece of clothing that makes you feel better the moment you put it on? What is it? Let me know in the comments!

You might’ve seen a sneak peek of this outfit over on Nine West Canada’s Tumblr, but since I love this shirt so much, I thought I’d share a couple more pics. Hope y’all are having an awesome Friday!

What I Wore: Nelly Belly

9 July, 2012 Nelia

nella-bella

When I first heard about the Canadian brand Nella Bella, I immediately thought of…myself. “How vain of you, Nelly!” – you might be thinking. But if you knew that my nickname for many years (throughout my senior year of high-school, university days, and even now) was Nelly Belly, you’d see my point.

“Nella Bella is a Canadian brand of handbags and fashion accessories that utilizes state of the art vegan fabrics to create beautiful, trend setting, high quality collections that accentuate an individual sense of style.”

The lovely Tarek (Creative Director and Head Designer) of Nella Bella gave me one of their bags as a wedding present, and I’ve been breaking it in ever since. And as someone who loves her real leather bags, it was pretty hard to tell that Nella Bella’s purses were vegan! The Nu Ocean material my purse was made of is soft, textured, and feels very leather-like. I also love the color and shape of my Augusta bag, and the fact that it fits all of my essentials.

Make sure to check out Nelly Belly Nella Bella when you get a chance, and let me know what you think of the brand in the comments!

What I Wore: A Day in My Life

29 June, 2012 Nelia

nine-west-pastel

Nine West Canada asked me to tell them what a typical day in my life looked like, and so I told them! Go and visit their new(ish) Tumblr page, if you are curious to know what it is I do all day. As it turns out – it’s fairly difficult to remember to take photos of your outfit/shoes/things you do, while you are running around town from meeting to meeting, to lunch, to events, etc…so those pics may or may not have been taken over the course of a week. But I sure did wear these lovely Pamper shoesies all week long…because they go with everything. Seriously, if you want your legs to look long, invest in a pair of nude-colored heels, and you’re set for the summer. Oh, and they are on sale now too. You’re welcome.

Now, go and check out Nine West Canada’s Tumblr, and have a wonderful long weekend!

What I Wore: Date Night

27 June, 2012 Nelia

nine-west-shoes

I wore this outfit in Florence to dinner with le bf…who by then has become le husband…and it was (possibly) our first date night as husband and wife together…ever! So…I apologize for the lack of detail shots…as we were in a rush and took only a couple of photos, before running through the streets of Firenze, across Arno, and to our fave restaurant in Italy – 4 Leoni. If you’re ever in Florence, you must go there, and order some pear ravioli. It will change your life.

I am almost out of vacation/honeymoon outfit posts, and it makes me incredibly sad. It’s weird, isn’t it? After a week or two of travelling, I am almost always ready to go home, sleep in my own bed, and stop living out of a suitcase. But then like clockwork, a couple of weeks after I get back, I am itching to go away again. So what I’m really saying is…where should I go to next??? Any suggestions? Share them in the comments.

What I Wore: So Fresh

8 March, 2012 Nelia

what-i-wore-joe-fresh

Picked up this awesome printed shirt from Joe Fresh for…wait for it…a measly $19! And I love it so much. My loot that day also included a pair of cropped skinny jeans, a sweater, and a pair of flared jeans…along with the pants I’m wearing in the photo. I think I might have another obsession on my hands.

Funny thing is…I was so sure that le bf was going to HATE this shirt…but all he said was “I think I’m used to your choices by now”. Looks like I’m slowly, but surely pushing his fashion boundaries. Next step – print on print…I’ll keep you posted on his reaction.

What I Wore: Mad Men

12 January, 2012 Nelia

I was going to call this post “Mad Women”, but then you might think that I’m mad, and I’m really not…so “Mad Men” it is. Because if this high-waisted pencil skirt doesn’t scream Joan, then I don’t know what does. Ok, I do know – big tatas…but since I’m lacking in that department, high-waisted skirt it is.

I’m also wearing my beloved belt from the OBJECT by George Antonopoulos for Danier collection (say that 10 times!), which literally goes with everything, and garners compliments every time I put it on. And that’s awesome. Can’t wait ’til the Spring 2012 collection hits the stores! Seriously, can’t wait!

What I Wore: Snake Charmer

23 November, 2011 Nelia

Is it bad that in my books, this counts as a conservative outfit? When I first wore these snakeskin pants (purchased at my trusty H&M), le boyfriend LITERALLY recoiled in what can only be construed as horror. Yeah, yeah, Eastern European fashions…blah, blah, blah. Snakeskin prints (not unlike other animal prints) are scary to men…and I don’t understand why.

Take these pants, for example…I really like them, not just because python is a huge trend for fall, no! Because high waist elongates my legs, leather detailing on the pockets adds something extra to the look, and because they fit like a dream. Seriously, what’s not to love?

And in order to prove my point (or maybe le boyfriend’s point), I am going to ask you to take this poll. Do you think these pants are work-appropriate? Why or why not? These are cotton trousers, and I think they should be fair game at the office…especially, when worn with something as conservative as my silk Joe Fresh button up. Do you agree? Disagree? Take the poll below, and let me know!
