Lanvin for H&M

So the unveiling for the new Lanvin for H&M happened on the 2nd and from the photos I saw it is fierce! I have been eagerly awaiting a look at Alber Elbaz's mass-market designs, including dresses, separates, shoes and accessories, like handbags and jewelry. Ever since the collaboration was announced in September, it's been the talk of the town on the fashion front. I had been searching far and wide for any sneak peak. But now it's out and I can drool over the entire collection; I was NOT disappointed at all. The one disappointment--we have NO H&M close and you cannot buy online at the American H&M site. So that means..no Lanvin for me. Boo. It seems pretty exclusive; I even read that Madonnna wanted to buy some pieces before the November 20 in-store date and she was told no. Who tells Madonna no? Well, I guess I'll have to resort to buying it on Ebay for 3x the original price. It's times like these when I wish I lived in a bigger city! Ahhh..Lanvin!

Harry Potter Who?

Emma Watson is best known for her role at Hermione in the Harry Potter series. I never got into it, but it definitely made her a star and one of the best known young actresses of our generation. Now that the saga is over, she had the opportunity for a drastic change: a pixie! I had seen older photos of this transformation, but in this month’s Marie Claire confirms that this choice was the right one! It makes me want to get a pixie cut even more than before (not to mention recreating her doe-eyed look on myself). Loves!

The Midas Touch

Gold. I went through a love/hate journey with gold my entire life. If you were to buy me anything gold growing up, I would have gagged. "Gold, really? How tacky!" Wow--was I mistaken or what?! Currently, i'm obsessed with gold. OBSESSED. And this time of year gold is a popular choice in more than just jewelry. Gold and forest green, Gold and mulberry, Gold and charcoal gray. Love all these combinations. Gold is in style and here to stay. 'Tis the season, why not fancy-it-up?

Diggin’ the Scots

Fair Isle prints are everywhere this winter. D&G, Rag and Bone, and Max Mara all showed them on the runways…not to mention every magazine and site imaginable is featuring them. So why shouldn’t I jump on this highly fashionable, highly cozy bandwagon? Fair Isle sweaters are traditionally knit and get their name from a tiny island north of Scotland where they first developed this technique. They seem to be most popular at ski resorts and in woodsy small town, but not anymore! I got a fabulous one retailing at $120 at A&F in February (but I got it at $15 because apparently they were having trouble getting people to buy them). I guess I’ll just consider myself to be ahead of the trends (at least for this anyway). Snuggle up with some cocoa and let these toasty cable knit threads warm you up!

Etsy Pick: joelmasouza

This shop includes a variety of items; purses, jewelry, and these cute little spats. These are my favorite items in Joelma's shop. I love that they are in a variety of fabrics and can transform the most basic shoe. Spats were most popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and were made to cover the instep and the ankle. Icon Michael Jackson was a huge fan! These are a little more feminine and lady-like and I can't wait to order a pair! The ability to get a hundred looks with only 1 pair of shoes. Fierce!

A Peek Inside My Wardrobe..

Hi everyone! Well my last post was Tuesday--yeah, last week. To say i've been slacking would be an understatement. I decided to make up for lost time by starting a "Peek Inside My Wardrobe" post. I'm going to start taking picture of my own clothes, but also keep adding pictures of stuff that I drool over (but can't always afford, ha ha). This is a little number I wore for a gala held by Alpha Phi, my sister's sorority. Hope you like it! xoxo

Lady in Red

Old Navy always seems to have the cutest coats with the cheapest price tags. Every year, I fall in love with more than one but they always seem to sell out before I can get my hands on them. This year, it’s all about this gorgeous red wool ruffled coat. It’s the perfect length and the ruffled detailing adds a little unexpected extra. How cute! I guess I’m not the only lover of this jacket—Kristen Cavallari and AnnaLynne McCord have both been spotted in it! And it’s on sale right now for $60.00 (regularly at $89.50). A steal if you ask me!
