London 2012 Olympics: Models, and Spice Girls, and Erdem, Oh My!

12 August, 2012 Nelia

Did you watch the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremonies? So much amazingness all at once. So many fantastic British performers! Loved seeing tributes to Freddie Mercury and David Bowie…loved Beady Eye…and of course, SPICE GIRLS!!! Zigazigah forever!

But the one thing that I was not expecting, was a tribute to the British fashion industry, as showcased by iconic Brit models Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson, Stella Tennant, Karen Elson, Lily Cole, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn, and David Gandy. Both Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell shined in Alexander McQueen, while Lily Donaldson wore Vivienne Westwood, Stella Tennant – Christoper Kane, Karen Elson – Burberry, and Lily Cole looked incredible in Erdem…who’s technically a Canadian, but whatever.

Holidays 2011: Gift Guide for Him

27 November, 2011 Nelia

This year, le boyfriend and I have decided to limit our gift-giving to one present each. So whatever I end up getting him really has to count! Unlike me, he doesn’t get very excited over presents (crazy, I know), so practical is the way to go for him.

Now, I am not saying a $3K coffee machine is necessarily practical, but if you can afford it, this Saeco Xelsis Digital ID SLX 8870 MS is a Lamborghini of coffee makers, complete with fingerprint technology. And it makes the best cappuccinos ever! Perhaps I should’ve put it on my wishlist instead.

What’s on your man’s wishlist this year? Share in the comments.

1. Saeco Coffee Machine ($3,200)

2. Gucci Formal Lace-Up ($640)

3. HBC Collection Burton Snowboard ($795)

4. Official 2012 Team Canada Olympic Apparel (from $15)

5. Beer of the Month Club Membership (from $29.99 per month)

Wishlist: HBC Canadian Olympic Team Replica Apparel

4 November, 2011 Nelia

Earlier this week, HBC unveiled its 2012 Official Canadian Olympic Team replica apparel…and I want it all! Especially the three pieces above: denim jacket with Canadiana patches, the 2012 version of this Cowichan sweater, and of course a pair of red mittens to show my rah-rah patriotic support (and to keep my mitts warm!).

I really can’t get enough of those retro patches. I would seriously wear this jacket all the time! Not to mention every time I travel…which is soon! Ok, I just decided…gotta get this jacket stat, before they are all gone! So much for my spending ban.

Have you had a chance to take a look at The Bay’s selection of Olympicswear yet? If so, what are your fave pieces?

What I’m Wearing: Russia vs. Canada

25 February, 2010 Nelia

Last night’s “epic” game was way too painful to watch. At least for me. I went in truly believing that no matter which team won, I’d still be happy, since I am a Canadian of Russian descent. It’s a win-win, right? Wrong! Sitting at a St. Louis, surrounded by a sea of jersey-clad Team Canada fans, I felt a little sad for Team Russia, and though I dressed to represent both teams – Russian Matryoshka tee with a Canada Cowichan sweater on top, I found myself gritting my teeth when Canada scored not 1, not 2, but 3 goals in the first period and the only one in the entire bar to leap for joy when Russians scored! I guess, so much for neutrality.

Still, I would have to admit, Canadians played really well. Much, much better than during their game against the US. As for the Russians…they just didn’t show up. Oh well, maybe next time…perhaps winning on home turf is what matters, and the team that really, really wanted it won? We shall see if it’s the case in Sochi.

I am wearing: Top – Zara; Men’s Sweater – The Bay; Rings – H&M

All Canadian

24 February, 2010 Nelia

Being Canadian is really de rigueur nowadays. It’s incredible what a little marketing can do. The Vancouver Olympics, of course, have a lot to do with it. But, credit should be given to HBC for really marketing the crap out of their Canadiana apparel. From Wayne Gretzky and Glee guys, to it-girl Rachel Bilson – The Bay clothes are all over celebs and athletes, and are selling out in stores everywhere! Over 3 million pairs of red mittens were sold to date…and still going.

As for this Smythe HBC blanket coat – I do love this coat on Rachel. Such fun colors and so very Canadian. Hmm, perhaps the All-Canadian look will catch on in the rest of the world soon enough? Until then…Go, Canada, go!
