What I Wore: Cute Winter Boots

30 January, 2018 Nelia


[show_shopthepost_widget id=”3010368″]
Breaking news! I finally found affordable, waterproof winter boots that look cute! After spending the entirety of December and most of January slipping and sliding in my stylish boots (or having to wear my clunky winter boots when the weather got really bad), I was determined to find a pair of waterproof leather boots with a non-slip rubber sole and faux fur lining, with a modest heel and at least knee-high, so I could wear them with culottes…but they had to be cute and versatile and also inexpensive (because I tend to ruin shoes almost immediately). That was quite a wishlist to fulfill…I considered La Canadienne – a Canadian brand I love, but all of the styles I liked were just out of my budget, and so I had to keep looking…until I found another Canadian brand – Blondo!

Let me preface this by saying that this is absolutely not sponsored, I simply fell in love with Blondo’s stylish selection of waterproof boots, and once I received my boots in the mail, I was super impressed with the quality too. So far, I picked up two pairs – a pair of ankle booties and these over-the-knee suede boots. Both are super comfy, waterproof, insulated, and they make every one of my winter outfits so much better. No more ugly winter boots for me. I honestly have no idea why I’ve spent so many winters in non-waterproof boots with slippery soles, the winterized Blondo boots were just as affordable and just as cute!

What’s your winter footwear strategy? Do you prefer the clunky winter boots? Do you know another footwear brand that makes cute winter boots? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: Concrete Jungle

Even though my Ann Taylor trip to New York was only a quick 13-hour jaunt, it reminded me how great that city feels in the summer. The streets are balmy and teaming with people, the non-stop action propelling the crowds, lines snaking around the corner from Shake Shack, excitement in the air.

After previewing the gorgeous Ann Taylor Holiday 2013 collection, the girls and I checked into our beautiful hotel, before stepping out into the rainy night to enjoy some delicious guac at Dos Caminos. Of course, I couldn’t end my trip without some dessert, so off to Shake Shack we went…and damn…THOSE SHAKES! Just thinking about one of those big boys makes me wish I could pay another quick visit to NYC.

So there you have it…13 hours in New York City, 1 fashion preview, 1 bowl of guac, 1 chocolate malt shake, and a pair of striped shorts is all it takes to make this girl a happy blogger. And speaking of Shake Shack. Can someone please open one in Toronto? Pretty please?

Wishlist: Fall 2012 Surrealist Accessories

17 August, 2012 Nelia

surrealist-accessories-fall-2012-2

From Nicholas Kirkwood to Diane Von Furstenberg to Lanvin to MAC Cosmetics, it seems everyone is embracing the surreal and the abstract in fashion. And for someone like me, who loves all things quirky, these pieces are simply perfect. Last week, I actually saw the Kirkwood flats at The Room, and was so tempted to buy them, but I’m afraid le bf would kick me out of the house, if I’d brought another pair of weird-looking shoes home. Obviously, I will still keep an eye on them, just in case a pair is available in my size come sale time.

What do you think of this artsy trend? Are you as into it as me, or do you find it weird? Let me know in the comments!

Wishlist: Birthday Girl

4 June, 2010 Nelia

It’s my birthday next week! Hooray for cake, not-so-hooray for the aging part…

Above is my birthday wish list, in case you want to send me a little something-something. I do love birthday gifts, I won’t lie. And as any shopaholic, the few latest items I’ve been coveting are slightly outrageous…well, not horrendously outrageous, but definitely things that I would not buy myself (oh, and also tough to find, since some of them are a few seasons old). And though there’s obviously no Birthday Santa out there (is there???), it doesn’t hurt to throw it out in the universe and see who hears me, right?

I would also love to hear about your birthday wish-lists! Is there anything that you would really love to get on your birthday, that you would not buy for yourself? Let me know in the comments!

Wishlist: Suede Kisses by Sonia Rykiel

3 June, 2010 Nelia

The moment I laid my eyes on this Sonia Rykiel bag, I knew it was love at first Suede Kiss! I am such a sucker for all things red, hearty, lipsy, and kitsch – it’s all so me! I just can’t help it, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame, and there’s nothing I can do, but give in. This bag comes in three colors: green, black, and dark plum. I like the black and red version, for obvious reasons, but the green one is also super-super cute! All three colors are currently available at The Room (at the Bay), and are on sale!

Now before they are all gone, I need to decide whether I should or shouldn’t give in to this particular temptation. Can you please help me out?

Elle Spain’s Disney Designers

15 April, 2010 Nelia

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Karl Lagerfeld fell into some well (ala Enchanted) only to end up in a Disney-animated world? Well, Elle Spain certainly has given it some thought, and the results, I must admit, are pretty cool! Can totally see Donatella as a duck, it’s completely spot on! But then again, most of the designers in the spread are ducks (with the exception of Karl, and D&G). Were the folks at Elle Spain too scared to paint someone as a pig, a cow, or…gasp…an elephant in their April 2010 issue? I would guess so. I, for one, would never want to taste someone like Karl’s wrath! No, thanks!

I think these cartoons are pretty amazing! Do you? Sound off in the comments!
