Lanvin and H&M

 

I die! Obviously any major designer who collaborates with H&M, the merchandise will be at an affordable price. In the past Jimmy Choo has also created pieces for H&M and now it's Lanvin. Shoes will not be the only thing featured!

take a look into my mind

Back on August 11th, 2010, I posted my Top 3 Favorite Looks for this Fall. (Just in case you didn't get a chance to read check it out, here it is! fashiongawker Archive: Come Soon Fall).

Though the look book doesn't consist of my Top 3 Favorite Looks from my previous post, these will be added to make my Top 5 Looks :) 

the RED BLAZER

Red is a hot color not only for Fall 2010, but as a pop of color for any outfit. In the pictures below, the red blazer is paired with an animal print skinny belt along with multiple gold chains to create a fuller look. Though many of us would not go out in just a blazer and undergarments, this added a playful look.

the CLASSIC TRENCH COAT

The Class Trench Coat is a necessity in everyone's closet. Men AND Women. It can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on where you are going and what you plan to wear underneath. In the picture below, wearing the trench coat as a layering piece on a chilly day will keep anyone warm and stylish. Once again, adding a pop of red will add some pizazz to any neutral tone outfit.

 

the NOT SO SECRET SCARF DRESS

If you've been in MKE driving on North Avenue, I'm sure you may have passed this dress in BOUTIQUE REVOLUTION'S WINDOW. Much to your surprise ... it only consists of scarves from FOUND OBJECTS, pinned together to give the illusion of a dress. This isn't your ordinary day to day dress. Pinned and ruffled together to make the fabulous scarf dress.

--Though this isn't a "fall trend," I thought you all would enjoy awesome colors as it gets chilly :)

 I can't pin point the exact day I saw this spread. I know it has been awhile! But it's simply A-MAZING! I love every single bit of it =) And to top things off, I love Minnie Mouse! So it makes everything even better. Hope everyone loves German VOGUE, Chanel Iman, & Minnie Mouse! =)

Nha Khanh

My parents are amazing!! Every time they come across Vietnamese designers, my mom and/or dad call me to share! Today my mom blew up my phone making sure that I wrote down the correct spelling for: Nha Khanh. Definitely go visit their website & check everything out. Very different and amazing work they have accomplished. 

To have an awesome support system for anything in life, one is very grateful.

Comme des Garcons Play

While surfing the world wide web :] I came across some pretty awesome cardigans, sweaters, etc. by Comme des Garcons Play. Perfect layering item for the fall/winter season. Although not all of us are able to invest in these cute cardigans, you can definitely go anywhere and find an amazing cardigan.

Check out www.tobi.com and just type: Comme des Garcons Play in their search engine and you should be able to view the womens & mens apparel!

vintage floral bag

Way toooo efffffing cute!!! This is such an adorable bag! I hate carrying purses, but I'd throw stuff in here when necessary :) Gotta love Forever 21! hehehe. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do wish I still worked there just to check out all the new inventory they got EVERY SINGLE DAY. Goodness was that a nightmare! Has anyone checked out the new location in Madison? Beside the people who actually work there? It's probably nice because it's new. Not like the chaotic tornadoes we have here. It was a pain to work in though. That sounds like enough rambling for now :)

luv unlimited

A couple of years ago my little sister introduced me to a shop down the street from my mom's house that I was unaware of. I can honestly say, it wasn't BS when I walked in like most places she takes me to lol. I can honestly say that I will always shop at Luv Unlimited or just stop by anytime & every time I'm by my mom's house in Bay View. My boyfriend's also bought handful of amazing items. Their sunglasses collection is on point by the way :) I always get compliments! The last thing I bought there was a gorgeous yellow short sleeve blazer w/ puffed sleeves. Who doesn't love puffed sleeves!? HELLO!! Show me someone who doesn't love them & I'll show them my fists! Just joking! ;) But I digress, which I absolutely love to do.

Brief summary of Luv Unlimited that I found off their website. 

"Luv Unlimited has been in business since July, 2004. We are the exclusive home of Hex Designs - a line of one-of-a-kind creations by Becky Heck.

Luv Unlimited sells new, vintage & handmade clothing, accessories and jewelry for men and women. We also offer hand-dipped and imported incense, records and gifts.

We also offer new and vintage iron-ons which we professionally press on new American Apparel & Alternative Apparel shirts and sweatshirts."

OH YEAH! And they have a live DJ in the store, hoooowwww freaking awesome is that!? Don't tell me I didn't warn you about the pure greatness of this store!

malia designs

Last semester at school, I had a designer for Malia Designs come in and just explain how the company as a whole uses recyclable items to make amazing bags, and the profits go to I believe Thailand? That's probably wrong, but they do help out those in need. I'm absolutely in love with these recyclable rice bag totes. They aren't all that expensive either so that def makes me want to buy them :) You can purchase them online at www.maliadesigns.com and I also noticed that Whole Foods on Prospect was listed as a location where you can purchase these locally. I haven't had a chance to actually go there and look to see if they have them, but if you beat me to it, let me know :)
