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?

How are you all doing today? The sun is out here in Paris and so are the masses. I’m so thankful not to be freezing my tush off anymore!

At first I didint want to post these photos because I’m not very happy with them, as there wasnt enough lighting.We took them as a quick shot after I dropped Pierre off at school. This is a part of his courtyard.

But I hope they can still be a bit inspirational of how all you need is a pair of nice jeans, some sexy shoes and some killer accessories like my Marni-esque clutch and my oversized mens watch.

Home Sweet Home + H&M Conscious Collection

I’m back home, to our apartment in Paris, and I can’t tell you guys how happy I feel to be back in my love shack, and to see my shoes!

We had a good time at the in-laws but I was starting to feel a bit paranoid, like Debra in Everybody Loves Raymond, if you know what I mean.

Another good news, is that I’ve made it through my 30 day shopping challenge!

So I took the opportunity to escape from my hubby and kid to hop on over to H&M Les Halles, and I forgot that the Conscious Collection was in store.

But its was a pleasant surprise, because I ended up walking away with this LWD, little white dress, for 19 euros!

I mean I was looking around like a bandit – thinking ” Did they make a pricing error?”…

Anyways, the collection is perfect for summer, lots of white, recyclable and organic fabrics and reasonable prices ( after all it is H&M we’re talking about here).

I also bought these cute colorful mix of neon yellow, pink and black socks. Thank God socks and sandals are trendy right now, because let me tell you all a little secret; I hate my toes! Yes, I said it. So I’ll be mixing these up this summer a bit.

And this little make-up pouch was too cute not to get- I can never have enough.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When I got back from shopping, I found out there’s a party tonight downstairs in my building for a L’Ecole de Re-Looking ( Make-Over / Styling School) that just opened on the 1st floor. The woman who invited me was like ” We’re having a party, we’ll be making some noise, but feel free to stop by!”  In my head I was thinking “OMG I hope they don’t get a live band”.

Anyways, out of boredom and shear curiosity ( and partially I was feeling in the mood to dress up) I forced my son into being my chaperon and we took an elevator ride downstairs.

Hmm, it’s 12:30 am and I can’t sleep so that’s a great excuse to do an outfit post, right?

These photos are from weeks ago (before Paris fashion week) , but I should put it up – will post more looks in the days to come.

Hopefully my outfit can inspire you to rock something that’s just been hanging in your closet.
