Latest fashion collab: get ready for Versace for H&M!!

by Elisa on October 21, 2011

in accessories,fashion,shopping

Ooooooh, boy. This is going to be a wild one. Remember Jimmy Choo for H&M? (which was pretty good, but probably not worth the insanity.) And then Lanvin for H&M? (which was sooooo over-hyped!)

Well, this is bigger than both of them. Put together. Get your wallets and your battle shields ready, ’cause Versace for H&M is here!

Ok, not quite. Details and prices for the entire collection were finally released today, but the collection won’t land until the 17th of November, and even then, it will be only in about 300 stores worldwide. Two of them in Zurich :-)

Squee! Or not? You be the judge.

Embellished silk dress, USD 199/CHF 299; silk scarf, USD 29.95/CHF 49.90; leather bag USD 199/CHF 249; bracelets USD 29.95-39.95/CHF 39.90-59.90

Studded silk dress, USD 199/CHF 299; rings, USD 19.95/CHF 29.90 each; bracelet (worn as choker), USD 39.95/CHF 69.90

Necklace, USD 39.95/CHF 69.90; silk dress, USD 149/CHF 199

Leather jacket, USD 299/CHF 349; silk top, USD 69.95/CHF 99; silk skirt, USD 69.95/CHF 99; men's belt, USD 59.95/CHF 79.90; jewelry USD 19.95-29.95/CHF 29.90-39.90

Sequin print dress, USD 129/CHF 179; necklace, USD 39.95/CHF 69.90

Me likey! Keep in mind that I posted the more… ehm… subdued looks. There are several much more adventurous ones, believe me.

Thoughts? I am really tempted by the black silk dress and the black and silver blouse and skirt ensemble, but in the end I will probably stick to accessories: I’m thinking one of the silk scarves, the studded men’s belt, the men’s leather cuff, maybe the miniature stud-embellished dress.

My Versace for H&M picks

Hmmmm… I think I’l have to set a budget for this. And go with a detailed list.

Now I just have to figure out how I’ll make it there, through the insanity and out the door with some merchandise without losing  any teeth in the process.

Think it’s worth the hassle? Want to come along?

Saw, Loved, Want: House of Harlow Fall collection

by Elisa on October 4, 2011

in accessories

I have to hand it to Nicole Richie: not only has she got it together nowadays and has put her drunk, spoiled brat days with Paris Hilton behind her, but she is now a wife, a mother, and as it turns out, quite a talented designer.

I have loved House of Harlow 1960 since the very first pieces surfaced a couple of years ago, because it managed to be chic and super-wearable while staying true to Nicole’s passion for boho, and because each item in the collection is a statement piece but still incredibly versatile.

The Fall collection didn’t disappoint: the starbusts and arrows came back, much to the happiness of many fans of the line like myself, I am sure; but with them also came some new pieces, like the leather cuffs, that will likely conquer even the less adventurous for their revisited classic lines. In other words, the line is growing up, but it has no intention of becoming a big old bore.

And now excuse me, while I go decide which one of these pieces will finally be joining my already fairly crowded accessory drawer ;-)
