Shopping: Saks Fifth Avenue Opens First Toronto Store!

21 February, 2016 Nelia

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE'S CF TORONTO EATON CENTRE (PRNewsFoto/Saks Fifth Avenue)
After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Saks Fifth Avenue finally opened its chic doors in Toronto last week, and we got a chance to preview it the night before the official opening. Spanning four floors and 25,000 square feet, the store is bright, welcoming, and full of amazing designer finds from brands like Balenciaga, Céline, and Saint Laurent, and exclusive beauty brands like Acqua di Parma, Byredo, and Le Labo. And don’t even get me started on the iconic 10022-SHOE salon – it is amaaaazing!

In May, Leña, a South-American-inspired restaurant and bar by Chef Anthony Walsh will open its doors, offering a premium dining experience with a Spanish influence. And don’t forget about Saks Food Hall by Pusateri’s, which will consist of inspiring culinary stations, and will offer exclusive products, fine foods, services and a deluxe grocery assortment. Both Saks stores (Eaton Centre and Sherway Gardens) promise “a robust calendar of special events, such as fashion shows, personal appearances by designers and trunk shows”.

Having been a Saks customer for many years, I am thrilled that Toronto will finally get 2 stores of our own. What are your thoughts on Saks in Canada? Share in the comments!

Saks Fifth Avenue is Finally Coming to Canada!

29 July, 2013 Nelia

saks-fifth-avenue-toronto-canada-the-bay

Last night, Retail Insider broke the news that The Hudson’s Bay Company has just purchased Saks Fifth Avenue, bringing the Canadian shopaholics’ dreams of shopping at Saks stores (on Canadian soil) one step closer! Last year, we reported about the potential Bloomingdales acquisition by HBC, but that deal (unfortunately) fell through, which brings us back to Saks. Not only are we rumoured to be getting the “regular” Saks stores, but the discount chain Off 5th will be making its way north of the border as well. I don’t know about you, but waking up to news like this is my definition of BEST MONDAY EVER!

Are you as excited as I am about this new development? Share in the comments!

Tommy Ton for Saks Fifth Avenue Spring 2013 Shoes!

4 February, 2013 Nelia

tommy-ton-saks-spring-2013-shoes

Speaking of gorgeous spring shoes…check out this amazing spread shot by the Canadian street style photog Tommy Ton for Saks Fifth Avenue! Featuring some drool-worthy styles by Salvatore Ferragamo, Fendi, Valentino, Altuzarra, Jil Sander, Derek Lam, and more, these photos are making me drool all over my laptop!

Right now, I am straight up OBSESSED with these lace-up Ferragamos. They are insanely hot, and I need them in my life ASAP. The heel looks super high, but the design also looks sturdy and secure, so I probably wouldn’t break my ankle. Just in case, I’d like these flat snakeskin Valentinos as well…you know, to mix it up!

What do you think about this photo spread? Are you getting excited for spring? Do tell!

What I Wore: Prized Possessions

11 December, 2012 Nelia

chanel-brooch-military-pants-dvf-clutch

Last weekend, my blogging bestie Sharon and I set off on a little roadtrip to Buffalo to do some Christmas shopping, and pick up some things that we both purchased months ago…like my new precious Chanel brooch. Having ordered it from Saks back in August, I was ecstatic to finally be able to get my hands on the tiny treasure. So ecstatic in fact, that I ended up wearing it to brunch the very next day…along with my new bejewelled DVF clutch that I picked up from Saks Off 5th during the same Buffalo trip (for a steal!!!). Score and score!

Along with my YSL arty oval ring, and Margiela with H&M booties, this outfit is pretty much a collection of my most prized (physical) possessions…ones that I will surely treasure for years to come.

Do you have special pieces that always make you happy and jazz up any outfit you wear? Tell me all about them in the comments!

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!

Wishlist: Alexander Wang Sonja Strappy Pumps

8 August, 2012 Nelia

alexander-wang-sonja-pump

For my friends and I, the “F-word” isn’t what you might imagine…Salty language aside, our dirty “F-word” is…FALL. As in – the season before the cold and neverending winter, and one that comes after my beloved summer. But even for someone like me (a person that hates cold weather), fall has its benefits. Yes, I’m talking about the clothes!

We all know that with cooler temps, come cooler clothes and accessories, and this year is no exception. There are so many awesome fall pieces on my wishlist already, some that aren’t even in stores yet…like these gorgeous classic-with-a-twist Alexander Wang Sonja Pumps ($485). The moment I saw them, I knew they had to be mine.

I don’t need to tell you that these will go with anything and everything, but they will. And the fact that the heel isn’t 500 million inches high is a huge plus for someone who’s always on the go. But the question is…are these special enough to warrant their steep price tag? What do you think?

From Santa With Love

27 December, 2010 Nelia

So, after months of waiting, Christmas has come and gone. And apart from the extra pounds gained from eating turkey  roast beef, various mayo-based salads, deviled eggs, prosciutto wrapped breadsticks, sfoglia, tiramisu, and a ton of chocolates…all that’s left are the presents…not that I’m complaining.

And though DVDs are certainly an amazing gift for Christmas, seeing how I’ve been watching How I Met Your Mother non-stop for hours now, my top three gifts this year were:

1. Ghost Chair (from Kitchen Stuff Plus)
2. YSL turquoise ring from (from Saks)
3. Chanel chain necklace/belt (from Chanel)

Granted, I loved everything else Santa brought me this year, but these certainly made me jump with excitement! Did you get everything you hoped for from Santa this Christmas? Or did you get everything you wanted during Boxing Day sales?
