What I Wore: From Odette to Colette

20 August, 2014 Nelia

While I usually tend to avoid the touristy Latin Quarter in Paris, this year, it was on my “to go” list. Why? Odette. After seeing countless photos of those photogenic French puffs on Instagram, I knew I had to try them. So after a leisurely stroll from our Airbnb apartment, we found ourselves in front of Odette. The place was tiny with limited seating, so we grabbed some petit-choux, and began to devour them right on the street. My verdict – they were ok. The coffee ones were my fave, but in general, I found them way too soggy and not as good as the ones from Nadege in Toronto. Nadege offers petit-choux that are light, fresh, decidedly not soggy, and so very flavourful. They may not be quite as pretty as Odette’s, but in my opinion, they are way superior in all other aspects.

After our petit disappointment, we walked back towards our Parisian apartment, exploring rue Saint Honoré. As some of you may know, rue Saint Honoré is home to one of the coolest shops in Paris – Colette, so of course, that’s exactly where we ended up. We nosed through the store’s trendy book selection, picked up some souvenir postcards, featuring Anna Wintour and other fashion notables playing soccer (it was World Cup season after all), and gawked at the gorgeous clothes displayed on the second floor – designs from Christopher Kane, Carven, Kenzo, Mary Katrantzou, Comme des Garcon, and so much more. There wasn’t a huge breadth of items available, but the curated pieces were enough to set my heart aflutter.

Sadly, I limited myself to postcards, and a fragrant melon that I picked up at a fruit stand nearby. The melon was sweet and the postcards were adorable, and even if I didn’t buy any fab clothes, my day was still quite perfect. As cliche as this may sound…I don’t need much when I’m in Paris…a walk through its charming streets is all it requires to make me realize just how freaking lucky I am.

What I Wore: Easy Does It

10 June, 2014 Nelia

One of my favourite things about summer (other than endless sunshine, BBQs, beach days, and ice-cream) is dresses. I wouldn’t call myself a girlie-girl, but once summer rolls around, dresses is all I want to wear. I’m sure I’ve blogged about that before, but here I go again. This one in particular is from Zara, and it was love at first sight. I bought it when it was still wintery and snowy outside, daydreaming of those warm afternoons when I would be able to throw it on, tie those faux sleeves around my waist and go – so easy and comfy.

I wore this on a neighbourhood discovery walk I took with le bf recently. Since we bought our house a year ago, we haven’t really had the chance to explore our new hood, and now that it’s summer again, we are making an effort to discover the cool things about the place we call home…like this amazing park we stumbled upon – with a stunning ravine, fun splash pad, and this beautifully-painted wall. Definitely a gem that we’ll keep in our regular rotation.

What I Wore: Jumpsuit Up

28 May, 2014 Nelia

zara-jumpsuit-park-5

After searching for a pair of perfect denim overalls, I stumbled upon this Zara jumpsuit, and immediately fell in love. Instead of channeling J.Lo circa 2001, I decided to jumpsuit up in this simple, super comfy, and versatile one-piece instead. So far, I am seriously obsessed with it, and want to wear it all the time. And the best part is…I can! During the summer, I can pair it with short-sleeved tops. To dress it up, I’ll wear it with a tuxedo jacket and sky-high heels. And when it gets colder again – this leather jacket will save the day. So simple. It may just be the most versatile piece in my wardrobe.

So what about you? Would you wear a jumpsuit in your daily life? Or do you still prefer J.Lo’s denim one-piece? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: Bonjour, Mon Amour

25 April, 2014 Nelia

It’s FRIDAY!!! And I am super excited to get my weekend started. This is what I wore last weekend to grab some gelato with le bf, and hang out with my friend (and beauty contributor) Aleyda. The weather was lovely, the sun was shining, and I was feeling elated. Also, something to be happy about are these amazingly comfy boyfriend jeans from Zara that hang just right (though le bf disagrees), and can be dressed up or down. I think I’m going to live in them!

I also got to wear my treasured HBC Converse. They are an instant mood enhancer + conversation starter. People just feel so drawn to them. And no wonder – they are pretty perfect, non?

Anyway…hope y’all have an amazing Friday! Let’s get this weekend started!

Are you ready for the PETER PILOTTO for Target amazingness?!?! The highly-anticipated collection launches this Sunday, February 9th at Target stores and online on NET-A-PORTER, and last night in New York, celebrities showed their support by rocking the boldest prints from the collection. My celeb BFF Diane Kruger along with Alexa Chung, Dree Hemingway, and Taylor Schilling all showed up to the fashion show decked out in the printastic PETER PILOTTO for Target pieces that we will all be fighting over come this Sunday. Elbows up, ladies.

If you still haven’t made your shopping list, you can view the ENTIRE LOOKBOOK HERE. Make your list, check it twice, and make sure to wear comfortable clothing. See you at Target?

The Complete Peter Pilotto for Target Lookbook is Here!

13 January, 2014 Nelia

peter-pilotto-target-lookbook-5

We are now less than a month away from February 9th launch of PETER PILOTTO for Target collection, and the lookbook is here! The printastic collection features nearly 70 covet-worthy pieces that range in price from $14.99 to $79.99 for apparel and swimwear and $16.99 to $39.99 for accessories.

The collab will mark the first time designers behind the brand, Christopher De Vos and Peter Pilotto try their hand at accessories and swimwear! Said De Vos, “The starting point was swimwear, and we were very happy that we could do it first with Target. We found it exciting to build the looks around that category. That was the idea that there are all these pieces in swimwear like rash guards and tops that you build an outfit around.” Funny enough, even though I can be a little print-crazy at times, swimwear and accessories from the collection are what caught my eye, and I can totally see those sell out in a heartbeat.

But tell me, which pieces from the PETER PILOTTO for Target collection are you coveting? Will you be in line bright and early on February 9th? If you are…prepare for MAYHEM. Judging by my Phillip Lim for Target shopping experience, I would recommend bringing a bodyguard…or two. And may the odds be ever in your favour!

Peter Pilotto for Target Collection Sneak Peek!

5 December, 2013 Nelia

peter-pilotto-target-collection

Back in September I wrote about the upcoming PETER PILOTTO for Target collaboration, launching on February 9th, 2014…and now, we have the first official look at the highly-anticipated collection. And OMG…it’s amazing! If you’re a print lover like me, I can imagine that you’re already obsessing over every detail of that photo above. I mean, that gorgeous romper is only $50, and the printed skirt is $35! That’s bananas!

Here’s how ELLE described this photo: “Designers Pilotto and De Vos, center, in their own clothing, with models wearing, from left: Stertch-nylon swim top, $25, cotton, nylon, and spandex skirt, $35, cotton and nylon slip-on sneakers (shown on all three girls), $30 a pair, spandex-blend romper, $50, spandex-blend racer-back tank, $25, skirt, $35, all PETER PILOTTO FOR TARGET, at select Target stores nationwide starting in February, call 800-800-8800 or visit target.com.”

And while I may or may not have promised myself to avoid designer collabs, I think this ban will have to be lifted for this one. I am only human, and getting a piece of Peter Pilotto for $25 sounds like something that I just won’t be able to resist. What about you? Are you excited about this one? Share in the comments!

PETER PILOTTO for Target Spring 2014 Collaboration Announced!

15 September, 2013 Nelia

peter-pilotto-target-collection

While most of us are still recovering from the battle traumas of Phillip Lim for Target collection launch, Target goes and announces another INCREDIBLE collab. This time with PETER PILOTTO!

“Set to launch on Feb. 9, 2014, at most Target stores in the U.S. and Canada, PETER PILOTTO for Target will feature women’s apparel, accessories and swimwear, with most items less than $60.

Additionally, Target is partnering with online luxury retailer Net-a-Porter to offer international fans of PETER PILOTTO a curated assortment of the limited-edition collection.

Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos are the designers behind PETER PILOTTO. The two met while studying at Antwerp’s prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium and together created one of London’s most recognized and coveted fashion brands. Celebrated for their innovative, complex and colourful prints, the designers explore and question conventional notions of prints, textiles, sculptural shapes and draping. PETER PILOTTO for Target exemplifies the designers’ distinct aesthetic, combining hyper-real digital prints in striking blues and greens and warm reds and oranges. The assortment features nearly 70 items and ranges in price from $14.99 to $79.99 for apparel and swimwear and $16.99 to $39.99 for accessories. Standout pieces include chic dresses, flattering skirts and versatile swimwear that can be mixed-and-matched.”

A celeb favourite, PETER PILOTTO is known for eye-catching prints and daring cuts, and I can’t describe the joy I’m feeling right now! Finger crossed that PETER PILOTTO for Target Spring 2014 collection is as amazing in real life as it is in my head.
