Shhhhh…it’s a sale

Can you keep a sale secret? Neither can I!

net a porter sale

Net-a-porter is having a massive sale ( not yet open to international buyers) and as much as I’ve tried to resist the urge, I find myself constantly clicking back to the site. So for once and all, here is my list of items on sale that I want to get ( might not even get any of it). But I have to get it out of my head, and hey you might like some of them too, so get your shopping on. Share the love tell your friends!

New Year, Old Habits

Ok OK, okaaayy… H&M is still my lil-pick-me-upper

I’ve been out of the first world for a while now, and what are the first two things I do when I get back?

1. Head to Srtarbucks for my Caffeine/Latte Fix

2. Head to H&M for my fashion fix

sad but true, I’m a true blood consumer. I embrace the many sides of me, you will too.

Any who, have you all seen whats in store at your local H&M. Ladies, OMG, I was having a dizzy playing dress up in the fitting room. Look what  I tried on

and then on my way out I got startled by this little beuauty. Oh my wallet be still!! It was 20 euros!!!!

I got this sweater dress because I knew it's something I would wear everyday. Nothing fancy.

Now, these remind me of the Isabel Marant red leather pants. They were one size too big, but If you're interested you can pick them up for 140 Euros ( or the equivalent of you local H&M).

This was a perfect fit, except I made a promise to wear less black. So I didn't get it.

OMG-I love pencil shaped (sheath) dresses and loved that this was below the knee!!

Kate Moss New Face of Isabel Marant

Well if it seems like every other page you turn in you magazine there’s a picture of Kate Moss you’re probably right. Next to Giselle this girl gets more bang for  (a fashion magazine) book!

Madame Kate at the ripe ole age of 36 is doing what many top models, who’ve retired by this point, wish they could, work.

As the new face of chic Parisian label Isabel Marant, Kate brings the face to a Parisian favorite brand that has a cult like following of celebrities. Lets not even get into figures but that kind of marketing move doesn’t come cheap! * I mean they did call in the heavyweight, the big dog.

I absolutely love the simplicity of the black and white ads, but my only concern is advertising clutter and brand dilution.


Kate is a well known and used face , Isabel Marant to many isn’t an internationally well known brand. Combined with the fact that she’s already doing ads for Longchamp , YSL, Balmain, Topshop and now Just Cavalli isn’t the chances of Isabel Marant getting lost in the Ad clutter is high? Especially in jam-packed mags where after seeing one Kate you’ve basically seen them all.

Or is it that we can never tire of Kate and that she can bring Isabel Marant exactly what they want, more visibility?
