Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia “Elsa” Lobster Shoes

24 February, 2014 Nelia 1 Comment

Phoebe: Hang in there, it’s gonna happen.
Ross: What? Okay, now how do you know that?
Phoebe: Because she’s your lobster.
Chandler: Oh, she’s goin’ somewhere.
Phoebe: Come on, you guys. It’s a known fact that lobsters fall in love and mate for life. You know what? You can actually see old lobster couples walkin’ around their tank, you know, holding claws.

Remember that awesome Friends episode?! Well, I’ve had a soft spot for lobsters ever since then, so it’s no surprise that seeing these Charlotte Olympia “Elsa” Lobster shoes sent my heart aflutter. How fun would it be to wear these in the summer with a crisp white shirt-dress? They are simply perfect for date nights with your own lobster, and would even work as whimsical wedding shoes too…if lobsters are your thing, that is. Either way, I’m adding yet another pair of Charlotte Olympias to my wishlist. The woman just keeps on designing things that speak to me…like cats, lobsters, bird cages, gummy bears…you name it. And I don’t mind one bit!

WedLuxe Wedding Show 2014

The WedLuxe Wedding Show is where “True Love meets True Luxury” and if you are a bride-to-be in the GTA, this is the show you need to go to. As a member of two bridal parties in upcoming weddings, I am becoming quite educated in what is involved in planning a wedding. So when my cousin recently got engaged I suggested we visit the WedLuxe Show. What better place to start your planning?!

So there we were, early Sunday morning walking onto the second floor of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel and being greeted by a ceiling covered in rose vines, bountiful collections of lovely floral arrangements and just ultimate decadence at every corner. The theme of this year’s show was “Springtime in Paris” and literally felt transported to The City of Light.

Our first stop after registering was at the Le Rêve Boutique Gift Bar. This is where your complimentary tote bag came into good use! We were showered with a variety of gifts and samples from the many sponsors of the show. Moroccanoil samples (one of my favorite product lines!), William Ashley tea cups, Jergens body products and the list goes on. It was truly a fantastic way to start the show. From here we were guided over to the Ooh La La Nail Salon where manicurists would freshen up your nails with a wide selection of O.P.I colors! Definitely felt very spoiled at this point.

What I Wore: Wedding Leather

Sorry for the crappy photos, but it was raining that day and I really liked this dress, and my hair was done, so it was either photos on the porch, or no photos at all, and well…this is the result.

I’ve been saving this Line and Dot dress for a special occasion, and finally ended up wearing it to le bf’s cousin’s wedding at the beautiful Toronto Hunt Club. The wedding was beautiful, bride and groom looked happy, and we ate our faces off because the food was phenomenal. And the best part is…even though I stuffed my face, my dress concealed the food baby, and that is one of the many reasons I love it (the dress, not the food baby).

Since it was a cool day, I ended up wearing my leather moto jacket over my maxi. I wasn’t sure if leather jackets were appropriate wedding attire, but I wasn’t going to wear a pashmina or a blazer, so leather was it. And you know what? I’m pretty happy with the combination – dressy, but also a little badass, and 100% me.

It may not be your cup of tea, but I wasn’t lying when I said that I LIVE in my leather jackets. The office, weekends, weddings, you name it…leather jacket always seems to be the answer. But what about you? Do you think it’s appropriate to wear leather to a wedding? Share in the comments!
