CHANEL Yorkville Boutique in Toronto Opens its Doors

16 November, 2017 Nelia

chanel-yorkville-toronto-boutique-2017
If you’ve been impatiently waiting for the new Yorkville CHANEL boutique to finally open its doors, I have some very good news for you – THE WAIT IS OVER! Tomorrow is the official opening day of the stunning new boutique, with two floors of CHANEL goodness on display. I was one of the lucky few to get a sneak peek of the store today and it’s magnificent! Designed by long-time CHANEL collaborator Peter Marino, the new boutique is a vision to behold. Everything from carpeting to tweed couches to product displays is so uniquely CHANEL, with many elements inspired by Coco Chanel’s Parisian apartment.

There are two salons dedicated to Ready-to-Wear collections, and four accessories salons, featuring a selection of shoes, handbags, small leather goods, eyewear, as well as CHANEL Watches and Fine Jewellery. Near the elegant stairwell, a commissioned art piece by Jean-Michel Othoniel demands your attention – a larger than life white and gold beaded 3-D pearl necklace cascading through the staircase, similar to the one at the ave Montaigne boutique. Smaller art pieces can be found all around the boutique, like little treasures waiting to be discovered.

The breathtaking new CHANEL boutique feels like a little bit of Paris in Toronto, and I had a very hard time leaving. I probably sat in every single chair and on every single couch, pretending that this is my new home, filled to the brim with CHANEL and most spectacular furniture. One can only dream!

The boutique will open its doors on Friday, November 17th at 98 Yorkville Avenue, just in time for holidays. Happy Shopping!

Shopping: Fall Edit from Shopbop

24 September, 2015 Nelia

shopbop-fall-faves
It’s the first week of fall and even though I reaaaally love summer, I have to admit that autumn is a much better season for style. Between cool layers, chic leather pieces, and outerwear galore – we have endless options when it comes to dressing during those cool, but not cold months. And after spending countless hours on one of my fave sites ever – Shopbop, I narrowed down some of the best fall trends and put together this fall edit to hopefully help you find some new faves this season. From flared denim, to leather moto jackets, to over-the-knee boots, there’s something for everyone, so proceed with caution…your wallet may be in danger.

Share your fave pieces in the comments and let me know what are your must-haves this fall!

What I Wore: Florals For Spring? Ground breaking.

30 April, 2013 Nelia

floral-pants-4

How amazing was the weather last weekend? After those few craptastic weeks of spring (ha!), it felt like being in para-para-paradise! So instead of wasting my time on my mom’s comfy couch, le bf and I went out shopping for one. We hit up Queen St West, King St West, Dundas St West…walking everywhere, with little pit stops to grab Yogurty’s, and other yummy snacks along the way. It was amazing! Leather jacket weather, how I missed you so!

So what about you? Did you enjoy the sunshine last weekend? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: Rebel Without a Cause

27 November, 2012 Nelia

club-monaco-leather-skirt

Earlier this month Yorkdale’s new expansion wing finally opened its doors, and lucky for me, I got to stop by the new Club Monaco store to do some much-needed pre-winter shopping. Not only is the new and shiny store a visual masterpiece to behold (seriously, check out the details next time you stop by), but it’s also pretty much impossible to walk away empty-handed from the amazing selection currently in stores.

I’ve had my eye on the Candace leather circle skirt for weeks now, so I made sure to take the time to finally try it on…after which it became perfectly clear, that I couldn’t walk away without it. The perforated detailing and the breezy fit made this one a winner for me. I love that it’s girlie, but also tough, and I’ve already paired it with half the shirts in my closet. It goes with everything!

The other item I picked up during opening night was a Beatrice Sweater in grey. Asymmetrical hemline, softest cashmere, and open knit? Yes, please! This sweet sweater will surely keep me nice and toasty this winter, and more importantly…le bf actually approves! Score and score!

There were also oodles of printed pants, cozy sweaters, embellished tops, skirts, and dresses in perfect winter shades, and even vintage designer goodies too! So if you haven’t had a chance to stop by the new store, make sure to check it out. You know you want to!

What I Wore: Grey’s Anatomy

19 November, 2012 Nelia

label-mavi-alexa

Wore this outfit the other day to work…and today, I’m wearing something very similar again, all thanks to my addiction to this LABEL Clothing top. Not only is it super comfy, but it’s got style for miles! I mean, just look at that removable leather panel! With it on, or off, this sweater looks incredible…and it’s Canadian too!

This time, I paired it with my new waxed Mavi Alexa jeans in a very subtle snakeskin print, a bib necklace from Banana Republic’s stunning Anna Karenina collection, and new fave shoes in my closet – Devon flats from Stuart Weitzman. I think this outfit is as simple as they come, but with a lot of special touches, that make this one of my favorite looks in a while.

What do you think of this monochromatic outfit? Share in the comments.

What I Wore: Letting Go

5 November, 2012 Nelia

h&m-the-grey-concept

I don’t know about you, but for me, one of the worst parts about the impending below-zero-temps is that soon it’s going to get too cold for leather jackets. Well, technically, it already is…but I am still trying to squeeze in as many leather jacket days as possible (without catching yet another cold this season). This one is from the edgy new H&M Divided The Grey Concept Collection and I never want to take it off. With its slim fit and slick jet-black hardware, this versatile little topper seems to go with everything in my closet, so if you are looking for a perfect leather jacket, you should try one of these on before they all sell out!

I’ll also be very sad to put away these adorable Stuart Weitzman lace-ups this winter. I’ll probably be able to wear them for another couple of weeks with skirts and tights, but I wish I could wear them all year long. They add that instant cool factor to any outfit, and are pretty comfy to boot. Actually, the entire Stuart Weitzman Fall 2012 Collection looked so good, that I might just grab a warmer pair to rock once the temperatures drop.

So what about you? Are there any pieces that you don’t want to stop wearing this winter? Share in the comments!

Stuart Weitzman Fall 2012 Trend Event

2 October, 2012 Nelia

stuart-weitzman-fall-2012-trend-event-toronto

Last month, Stuart Weitzman held Fall 2012 Trend Event in Toronto, and I was lucky to get a little preview of the goods. The brand’s fall collection was full of drool-worthy shoes and boots, from embroidered smoking flats, to over-the-knee croc-embossed leather boots, to bold animal prints, the variety of styles made my head spin. And that was not all! The new collection of handbags was also unveiled at the event, showcasing a line-up of sophisticated structured satchels, envelope clutches, and more.

My fall favourites included the aforementioned embroidered flats, toe-cap lace-ups, and those gorgeous (GORGEOUS) croc-embossed boots. I might not be a fan of low temperatures, but I sure do love my fall footwear!

To check out Stuart Weitzman’s entire Fall 2012 collection, please visit the brand’s website, and choose your own favorites!

What I Wore: Childish

23 April, 2012 Nelia

zara-floral-pants-pastel

As we’re bracing ourselves for wind, snow, and slush…I thought I’d share one of my recent spring looks. The pastel floral pattern of these Zara jeans reminds me of children’s clothing for some reason, but I really don’t mind. In fact, I think I really love these jeans. Childish, or not.

I also love my new minty fresh H&M sweater. The open knit is easy and light enough to wear on cool summer nights…all summer long. IF it ever shows up that is.

Hope you had a great weekend, lovelies. Now excuse me, while I go dig out my parka out of the garbage bin.

What I Wore: Casual

18 April, 2012 Nelia

stuart-weitzman-capsize

Sometimes all you need is a great pair of shoes. That’s all. No matter how casual the rest of your look is…throw on some amazing shoes, and you’re good to go. That’s what happened last weekend…lazy outfit instantly upgraded by a pair of lovely pumps.

These Stuart Weitzman Capsize pumps are everything I wanted in a spring shoe – perfect pastel pink color, metallic pointy toe, and a sturdy heel. Oh, and they come in “salad green” color too…which I might just have to go out and buy…because, HELLO! They are so pretty!

What’s your go-to shoe this spring season? Share in the comments!
