Style Swellness: Zara launches online shopping

Zara HOME CANADA DEF

The day is herrrrrrrre! Zara launches their Canadian e-commerce site today, whee!

I’m not typically an online shopper when it comes to clothes (I really like to see how pieces fit on me and to touch the fabrics) but having received an invite to shop Zara.com pre-launch, and being pretty familiar with how Zara’s clothing fits–I have a feeling I’ll be shopping online much more often now. Plus, there’s a new app, too, so shopping on your smartphone or tablet is even more streamlined.

ZARA app ENGLISH

Standard delivery is free for orders $50+ (or you can pick up your order in store for free delivery, too). Same return policy as shopping in person, that is 30 days for returns or exchanges. And yes, you can return or exchange items bought online in store (I personally much prefer that over mailing back items).

Lucky me, I was invited to shop the new site and my order should arrive today. I’ll anxiously be awaiting the courier! I’ll post my buys on Instagram (You can find me there @healthandswellness).

Beauty Swellness: The new Marni fragrance

Marni fragrance

What I’ve been wearing…

The new Marni fragrance, which I got to learn about weeks and weeks ago but only now am able to post about (media embargo til the end of last week and all!).

The top notes are spicy (including pink peppercorn, ginger and bergamot) and at its heart, rose, cinnamon bark and cardamom, while woodsy notes complete the fragrance. It’s eclectic yet also classic.

The polka dotted bottle, stout with a red topper, stands out, much like the designer’s covetable jewelry. And how cute is the Huggy Doll that comes with the purse spray? (I so regret not buying a Marni doll necklace when I saw them at the outlet outside London in the fall…Why didn’t I buy it? I do not know. Silly, silly me.).

Marni fragrance collection available at Holt Renfrew (from $52 for the Shower Gel to $175 for the 120 mL Eau de Parfum).

Are you a Style Idol? Enter to win a trip to NYC!

I don’t normally aim to be all judge-y but as part of the Schick Quattro for Women Canada Style Squad that’s exactly what I’ve gotta to do with the Style Idol contest. Which you must enter because the prize is most excellent: a trip to the Big Apple and some spending $$$. Sweet! (Totes wish I could enter!)

All you have to do is go to the Schick Style Idol page, upload a pic showing your killer sense of style, get peeps to vote for ya and and then the top 10 will get judged by the Style Squad (that’s moi, Niki Blasina of A Haute Mess and Janine Falcon of Beauty Geeks)! (For full rules and regs, go to the Style Idol page).

(And if you haven’t yet checked it out, be sure to give the Schick Quattro for Women Canada Facebook page a look and a big ol’ thumbs-up “like” to stay tuned to the Squad’s style, beauty and health news and such!).
