VIDEO PREVIEW: Versace + H&M

Just got word that H&M has teamed up with Italian fashion house Versace and they sent a really nice video my way. It talks about the history of Versace and the collaboration with H&M that will showcase 40 pieces for women and 20 pieces for men including accessories ( jewelry and house-ware) !

Yesterday at her men’s fashion show for Versace,  Donatella wore one of the pieces, a body hugging leather studded dress down the catwalk to a crowd of clapping and ecstatic front-rowers. “Very sexy” she says.

The collection is set to hit stores Novemeber 17th. Promises to be Glamour and Rock’n Roll.

What do you guys think?

LOOKBOOK LOVE: STRADIVARIUS

I was speaking of Stradivarius Paris in an earlier post, and I wanted to share some of their May Looks with you. It’s a cool way to get inspired, even if you don’t have a store located near you! Their styling is very fresh, fun and functional and many pieces could come from your wardrobe or other retailers. This seasons trends: bold prints, bight colors and sexy tropical prints.

I love the use of the polka dot blue and red scarf here, with stripe socks.

Another socks and sandal combo – would you wear socks and sandals?

Dual color block sandals comme Prada, gotta love it

Navajo prints and fringe bags – hippie chic anyone? Hey didn’t I see like a hundred people dressed like this at Coachella?

LOOKBOOK LOVE: MAJE PARIS

The french clothing brand Maje is renowned for designing “typically” Parisian style clothing for the hip and trendy.

They’ve been in the news recently because of their collaboration with Vanessa Traina to launch a capsule collection. She is also daughter of Novelist Danielle Steel and the face of their recent print ad campaign.

According to racked.com “The Vanessa Traina x Maje collaboration line features 14 basic pieces in Parisian jet-black and a splash of crisp white and accented with bits of alluring lace trim and feminine draping. The price points are on the affordable side of contemporary designer chic—adorable silk short-shorts are $155, tapered trousers are $235 and a long cami asymmetrical dress is $265.”

As a long time fan of Maje,I was very inspired by their all red magazine campaign and excited about their Spring Summer 2011 collection; reds, maxi skirts, and the seasons mix of girly prints in light shades of pink and powdery blues.
