Pendleton for Dr. Martens Fall 2012 Collection

I’m a big fan of Pendleton, so I was eagerly anticipating this collaboration with Dr Martens! Finally the collection released featuring an exclusive Pendleton woven jacquard pattern called ‘Pagosa Springs’, the collaboration offers Dr. Martens iconic 1460 8-hole boot in Cherry Red and Black Smooth leather with a comfortable and cozy wool quarter panel on each side. In addition to the boot, there is also a traditional Dr. Martens satchel, crafted with the Pagosa Springs design and finished in Cherry Red or Black polished leather.

The ‘Pagosa Springs’ design was inspired by a legend about a deadly plague affecting the Ute Indian Tribe. They were miraculously cured when they assembled on the banks of the San Juan River. The Ute Tribe honored this area with the name ‘Pagosah’ which means ‘healing waters.’ Arrows in the pattern symbolize the path as the waters make their way to the surface. The four-cornered elements represent the location of Pagosa Springs in the Four Corners region of Colorado. The Medicine Man’s Eye in the centre represents vision, surrounded by the peaks of the San Juan Mountains.

The collection is currently available at Dr. Martens stores in the USA, UK, Asia and Europe, online and karmaloop.com. LOVE!

H&M Women’s Spring 2013 Lookbook

The Swedish mega-brand H&M has given us another reason to drool, and this time it’s the Spring 2013 collection. The latest from the brand is a western inspired extremely embellished (and affordable as always) collection of mini skirts, leather jackets, and baseball caps.

Taking some serious inspiration from the Spring 2013 runways, there are references to the Wild Wild West, as we saw at Derek Lam as well as fruity pineapple accents like we saw on the Moschino Cheap & Chic runway. But I’ll never complain about being able to afford a designer inspired piece and that’s what makes H&M so perfect for the mandatory wardrobe update when spring hits.

They have given tried and tested pieces like the leather mini and pencil skirt a whole new life by adding embellished leather accents and long tassels to step up the basics’ game. Entire monochromatic looks in red and black fit in perfectly for spring (case in point: I saw one colour looks day after day during fashion month), and turquoise stone bolo ties make us excited to embrace our inner cowgirl as soon as the snow melts away.

It’s all only a winter away.

H&M Men’s Spring 2013 Lookbook

Yesterday H&M previewed its Spring 2013 collection at the New York showroom showcasing bright color and vivid prints for men. According to the press release, the suit continues to be the key item with new cuts, colors and textures. There’s also graphic prints on suit jackets, pants, shirts and T-shirts. Some pieces were inspired by the 1950s featuring essentials like a baseball jacket or biker jacket. Accessories include printed scarves, espadrilles, ethnic-inspired shoes, sneakers and a baseball cap.

“This spring at H&M we’ve traveled through menswear heritage to make something that feels truly contemporary. It’s so exciting that men today are wearing more prints and color, and are confident enough to try something new in order to find their own personal style,” says Andreas Lowenstam, H&M’s head menswear designer.

Stay tuned for the women’s lookbook coming soon.

Did you shop the Maison Martin Margiela with H&M collection?

Did any of you guys shop the Maison Martin Margiela with H&M collection this morning? I didn’t end up getting anything since my sizes were pretty much gone and it was just a bit overwhelming. I like a few pieces in the collection but honestly feel that they might linger in stores. No other collection that H&M has had has been able to amount to the frenzy that Versace caused. Just my opinion.

Also, saw this spread in the December issue of Elle Mexico featuring some of the piece and thought it was pretty nice and perhaps may help you decide if you want anything. The photos were shot by Santiago Ruiseñor, via Fashion Gone Rogue. LOVE!

If there’s no H&M where you live or you just simply don’t have time to go, there’s always eBay. 😉

MANGO SPRING/SUMMER 2013 PRESS DAY

Totally enjoyed Mango’s Spring/Summer 2013 Press Day! Everything I saw- I wanted! Tweed cardigans perfect for Spring (definitely going to give the Zara ones a run for their money). IN LOVE with ALL the sweaters and knits; from fringed sweaters (TO DIE FOR) to just perfectly shaped, timeless pieces.

Can not forget to mention the beautifully detailed accessories! From the handbags, to the necklaces, to the earrings, to the SHOES everything was just gorgeous!

I do have to say that I believe Mango is throwing it out of the park with this collection. Those of you that don’t shop there, you are missing out ! Run into your nearest Mango store today!
