H&M Collaboration with Jimmy Choo

Having talked about H&M collaboration with the giant footwear designer brand Jimmy Choo, how about having a glimpse on what's coming up on November the 14th?
1. Suede dresses which remind me '80s disco style- it actually reminds me TopShop style as well, I mean the whole collection with the combination of shinny look.
2. Lots of lots of glitter
3. Leather belts with studs, shoes with studs, clutches with studs, I mean everything with studs
4. Zebra print ;)
5.Black and white with the combination of vibrant colors such as blue, pink and magenta.
6. '80s
7. Will '80s be over? We'll have a look at Summer '10 collections for that.
In a nutshell, I guess this collection is good for a party season with all this shiny materials.

H&M Collaboration With Sonia Rykiel

Here is another collaboration of H&M with a designer. Sometimes when such collaborations are made around the same time, they overlap eachother and one of them might be neglected. That's what happened to Sonia Rykiel lingerie collection for Christmas which will be launched in December 5th since everyone is talking about Jimmy Choo designs for H&M. Today we had the chance to see a sneak peak of this campaign with three sexy models (Lara Stone, Caroline Trentini and Anna Vylitsyna) in satin sexy lingeries in front of a purple background. Apparently, purple will be a dominant color this winter. Silk Kimono designed by Rykiel at $59.95 is very inspiring though. That's what I love with these collaborations ( except the fact that being have to wait in the line at 5 a.m in the morning- way earlier than the shop opens).

Will Your Boyfriend Let You Borrow His Watch?

Having talked about boyfriend trend, there you go : Boyfriend's watches...Sneaking into your boyfriend's wardrobe to wear his watch might get hard time this time though, his watch is his best companion...Maybe you need to get your own now, but with the classic style, it's worth getting one anyway ;)

Mamamia, What A Beautiful Mom to Be!

Gisele Bundchen is expecting a baby girl in December. Her perfect figure hasn't seem to be affected by this pregnancy although she is in the last stage of it. This must be the reason of her confident walk in Manhattan, she has the full right to show off her bump, don't you agree?
29 years old top model is like walking on runway on the street also with her casual, easy and chic street style. I loved her blazer jacket and the combination with nautica jeans. Every item of this season is like taken from boyfriend : Boyfriend jeans, boyfriend jacket, boyfriend watch. It seems like an economic trend if you have the same fit with your boyfriend ;) Beware though, they get mad when they see girlfriend using their items! :P

350

"On 24 October, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5200 events around the world, people gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis."
"350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis--the solutions that science and justice demand.Our mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis—to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet.
Our focus is on the number 350--as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. But 350 is more than a number--it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.
To tackle climate change we need to move quickly, and we need to act in unison—and 2009 will be an absolutely crucial year. This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. The problem is, the treaty currently on the table doesn't meet the severity of the climate crisis—it doesn't pass the 350 test.
If an international grassroots movement holds our leaders accountable to the latest climate science, we can start the global transformation we so desperately need."

Gucci Spring Summer 2010

Gucci Spring Summer 2010 collection seems very inspring in terms of classic black dresses and shoes. Everything is embroideried with metallic and crystal beading which looks great with simple -clean cut design that reflects the simplicity of modern woman. Frida Giannini did not only use this embroidery style only on the neck line but also other places such as back and sides. The look is not romantic, or folkloric, but surely since it is stylish and chic will be adopted by Gucci followers.

Junk Art By Gabriel Dishaw

Gabriel Dishaw is an artist who creates sculptures that everyone can understand and relate to by using found pieces of metals and insignificiant objects. "Using found objects from typewriters, adding machines and old computers, he takes the items people no longer have use for and he carefully disassembles these items and then reassembles these together using metal wire creating his Junk Art." In his webpage, you can see his work created by this unique idea and extraordinary patience for assembling.
Below sculpture, Junk Dunk (Left), is a metal Nike shoe made of circuit boards. I think it could be a great inspiration for Nike designers as it has such a good color combination and surface pattern.

A Must Have : Trench Coat

There are times to get back to our trench-coats year-round in Spring and Fall, two seasons in which it's hard to estimate what the weather would be like in the afternoon. This happened to me two days ago : The weather was just awesome like a late summer day stolen from fall. So I went out with my great and functional summer outfit. Late that day, it started raining cats and dogs, and I was more than wet:) If I had my practical trench coat with me, things would have been difficult;)

A well-made classical trench coat will always save your life by means of both being very useful and stylish at the same time. Two birds, one stone...What else could be expected from the term "fashion" ? Like the Ms Celebrities, Burberry has the best options. But if it's not affordable, go ahead and choose one of the nice ones in your price range- since it's just amazingly easy to find a trench you like and can afford.

Voluminous Hair

Good time to grow out their hair for men to catch the latest look of fashion shows in Milan, London, Paris and New York. The key is having it voluptous on top and short on sides to make it retro looking like in James Dean movies. Not that much masculine though. It's allowed to use hair spray, but not as much as James Dean used to have like in movie " Rebel Without a Cause".

Either wear very clean cut CK style skinny suits with this big an bold hairstyle, or dispersed as possible such as never looked at the mirror after getting up. Woodcutter shirt and a pair of very dispersed and worn out jeans could be good matches.

Rachel Bilson and Her Amazing Look

Rachel Bilson was caught during her "secret" photoshoot with three different outfits. Although gray scale outfit can found anywhere, her flats in vibrant red made the whole look different.

My favorite is the yellow dress and matching boots. This dress has a dual effect on viewer depending on which side you are looking at it. Back of the dress is totally chic, wearable at red carpet event wheras the front view is just as casual smart with her shirt dress look and easily made bow belt. I just loved it.

Remember the trend we were talking about few posts back? Fringed shoulders? There they are in Rachel's cardigan on her nice, flowy maxi dress. Keep in touch ;)





Run Suri Run!

Little fashionista Suri Cruise was spotted with her celebrity parents in the park. She seems to have too much energy to be spoiled by her mum. Her mum, Katie is just so cute as usual. I really liked her color pick for her scarve and her casual cardigan with a bit of military look.
