Versace Versace Versace.  The design house although one might never guess produced this edgy collaboration with H&M, but clearly Dontella has left her design aesthetic all over these pieces, and  done a damn good job of it too!  My girl Abbey Lee Kershaw strikes various poses for the collections officially released lookbook, showcasing pieces in bright colors and prints, and daring darks in “leathers” in blacks and silver all studded and sparkly.  The collection which spans from everything to shoes, hand bags and jewelry will be available in the US & Canada November 19th.  The excitement however doesn’t end there, on January 19, 2012 Versace will also release a pre-spring collection.  Go hard! Don’t you just love these cheap/couture collaborations!

By the way Happy Birthday Anna Wintour!

I’ve seen the light, and don’t ever plan on going back!  Bright colors continues to go strong into the fall season, I for one am all for it seeing as most of my life I’ve spent locked up in black and white.  I’m all for minimalism but with collections like this “Looks We Love” for J.Crews Fall launch I’ve learned minimalism doesn’t mean black and white.

Liu Wen and Jacquelyn Jablonski demonstrate how to marry both minimalism and color blocking into one happy family.  All the pretty colors makes you want to jump up and sing just  a little bit doesn’t it?

 

The fast approaching fall season is both saddening and exciting for me; summer will soon be but a memory and It’ll mean school is about to start. (O yeah I haven’t mentioned that till now) Yes This september I’m headed back to the big house to further expand my noggin with useful tidbits of information.  This also means more outfit posts to share..Yay!

 

Crushing on the first two looks above and the third one with the beige trench directly below.  I still need to pick up a colorful pair of pants.  Put that on the to do list.  [images via]

 

I’ve noticed, as I’ve gotten older there’s been a shift in what I consider to be stylish, or chic. I’ve always gravitated towards clean lines or modern and very tailored looks, not to say that I don’t like being trendy but not until very recently in my adult life have I felt the desire to emulate this sort of distinguished career woman sort of look on a regular basis.

 

I’m still young yes only 24, and I won’t give up my youth but theoretically I’m feeling like it’s time to grow up and replace my sneakers with flats and heels, and my purses with Birkins…if only my ass could afford one!

The looks from Chole’s fall 2011 lookbook boast that very sophisticated tailored look my heart can’t seem to get enough of right now.  Broken down and paired with some trendy pieces these other wise mature looks could work out very nicely.  I imagine the striped poncho in second row paired with some black biker boots and black legging to punch it up for fall in the city.  Loving every bit especially the pistachio colored blazer and all of the heavy knits.

 

I think it’s getting close to that time for me to start really being a woman, Wow already, where does the time go?

Ad Campaign// H&M Fall 2011

Karlie and her ability to go from candy sweet to vampish seductress plays it cool for H&M’s Fall 2011 lookbook.  Like a vintage goth; thats a new combination..she layers the latest knits, gloves, skirts trousers and cardigans, all while wearing a just bitten rouge lip. Who isn’t loving this??
