FASHION FORECAST: Preview H&M Fall 2011

Sneak Peek of the H&M Fall 2011 to hit stores.

Tartans, florals, leather, biker, clean cut , minimalist, with a 60s vibe.

I just got this in an email today from the Paris press team, but I had to share right away. Je suis completement accro a H&M.

Stay tuned for my more in-depth review to come this week. I’m already dying for the off white women’s coat, the brown biker jacket and a few items like sneakers and accessories from the men’s department too!

CUTE FIND: THE DENIM DRESS

The denim dress is one of the most versatile pieces any woman can have in her spring or summer wardrobe. It’s perfect for a garden party, taking the kids to the park or having a lazy Sunday. You can dress it up with heels or down with some flats or converse sneakers.

If you’re plus sized or have a fuller figure a denim shirt dress, halter top, or a full mini are perfect for accentuating your features.

I love this shirt dress version from Torrid.com

If you’re working with a tight budget and want something on the cheap, you can always save money by shopping at Forever21. It’s only $25.

I’m in a Smokie Robinson kinda mood lately. These photos were taken last Friday while Cruising around the Marais. Truth be told I went to grab a falafel and L’as Du Falafel was closed, so I just made use of my time while there and went to snapping with Cleo, my camera.

Cute Fashion Find: Bright Blue Purse

Taylor Tomasi is always one of the best dressed women you’ll come across during the fashion weeks. She gets snapped up by all the street photo -bloggers and many fashion readers love her as the Marie Claire accessories editor. The red hair, the bold accessories, the sunglasses and that tiny leather jacket – she’s got coolness down to an art.
This past New York Fashion week Fall 2011 one of the biggest trends on and off the runway was bold colors, and here she is with a bright blue Celine clutch.

I’ve been searching the internet to find bright blue color accessories and I found this cute wallet from PAUL’S BOUTIQUE for today’s Cute find feature.

Pauls Boutique Lizzie patent purse is so cute with its little colorful charms and patent blue cover with a baby pink interior. It might be a bit too “sweet”, for me, but might be just right for you.

Are you ready to try the new bold color trend?

Cute Fashion Find: Castaner

Luis Castañer founded the family run espadrille manufacturing company in Spain in 1927.  According to Net-A-Porter, ” the turning point for the company came in the mid sixties when Yves Saint Laurent featured a pair of high heeled espadrilles in his collection and what was traditionally a country folk shoe became luxury fashion footwear. Today the signature wedges are made from woven straw, rattan and wicker and combined with unusual materials.”

I can tell you from experience that these shoes are like walking on heaven, seriously I should do a ” I can’t believe its wicker” ad , similar to the “I can’t believe its not butter ads. :) You can see photos of me wearing my Yves Saint Laurent Wedge sandals here.

You can find many of their shoes and espadrilles on Selfridges.com

I’m already dreaming of this one for summer; Eva wedge sandal.
