Lanvin for H&M Lookbook

By Leave a Comment

The highly anticipated launch of the season will arrive in a few weeks. Yes in just two weeks and three days (November 20, 2010 in the US) we will be apart of the mayhem. The lookbook was released yesterday and I must tell you that I am very impressed. Animal prints, great jewelry, bold shoes, ruffled dresses, printed t-shirts…definitely must haves for a stylish wardrobe. They have a wide range of accessories and clothing for men and women. Yes fellas, the collection will be available to you also. One may think the price points for the merchandise would be extremely high, but not this collection. Items ranges from $9.95 for a pair of tights to $349 for a coat. All shoes will be $99 (I have my eyes on the leopard pair) and the dresses are reasonably priced as well. This will be a great opportunity to find that perfect holiday party dress as well. I still haven’t come to terms with the other 50,ooo girls that will be wearing the same pair of shoes or the exact dress, probably at the same party. That is the only thing preventing me from purchasing anything from this collection. I know many people are going to say, “Well it depends on how you rock it. You can make it look different.” This is true, but just the thought of wearing the same dress at the same party with 10 other girls is just ridiculous. Anyway…enough of me talking…take a look at the collection

Lanvin for H&M Women’s Collection

Lanvin for H&M Men’s Collection

Are you ready to put up a fight? Well if you want anything from this collection be ready! The collection hits stores in the US November 20.

HGB LookBook: Homecoming Football Game

By Leave a Comment

My homecoming is this week and I have been getting quite a few requests on what to wear. Last week I did a post on what to wear to the Alumni Cabaretand today my focus is the football game. I put together a few looks. No one goes to the football game to actually watch the game. This is the time where we catch up with old friends before we had back to the main campus. We see everyone from the Dean, old RAs, professors and even our old college sweethearts.

The football game is where everyone tailgates and just chill. Dressing for this event is very tricky. You do not want to be climbing up and down bleachers in 5inch heels, no matter how “comfortable” they are. You don’t want to wear a fur coat because you are at a sporting event and you will look like the girl who tries way too hard.  Not only do you have to dress for the actual game, you have to be prepared to stand and mix and mingle with all of your old friends for the rest of the day when you go back to the yard. This is when the Greeks do their greek sings and they have the homecoming parade so be prepared for a lot of standing. So all of these looks will feature a pair of flat boots. Wedges are ok, depending on how long you plan on standing, but flat boots are always the go to for an event like this. They are stylish and comfy. Trust me when I tell you there is nothing worse then being in pain because you tried to be cute in a pair of heels.

This look is for the girl who is very laid black. A cute chunky knit sweater, suede boots, t-shirt, and scarf for when it gets chilly. I love gross body bags because they keep your arms free.

Sweet Tooth: Motorcycle Jackets

By Leave a Comment

Motorcycle Jackets are definitely a must have for the Fall. I love the edginess and toughness of the look, but some jackets are extremely thin because they are not meant to be worn in the winter. Since they are so thin (even the really expensive ones) I do not see the point in spending hundreds of dollars. I found two jackets that are pretty affordable, and they both have a unique look.

Simply Vera by Vera Wang at Kohls $78

Rosabel Motorcycle Jacket $90
