Fashion First
Pastel camouflage prints and standard-issue olive green were the motifs of choice in the Pre-Fall 2012 outing of Thakoon’s lower-priced Addition line. The designer himself described the oversize-pocketed full skirts and swing jackets as “flirty, cheeky military.”
Glimmering jewels, jazzed-up hues, and just a little bit of shimmer — dress up your holiday with these 10 party-ready pieces. From a pair of glittering pumps to a gemstone-packed cuff, one of these is all you need.
After getting a preview last month, a first look at the full set of the second Versace for H&M collaboration — for Cruise 2012 — is out. Unlike the first collection, this set — which launches Jan. 19 — will only be available to buy online on http://www.hm.com in Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway — unfortunately not in the US.
BANANAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m still crazy with these Versace January J VE2120 Sunglasses that released for SS’11, I might need to pay a visit to Sunglass Hut or Versace to pick-up a pair. I don’t really have anything like these in my collection, so they would be the perfect addition. This pair of sunnies has a retro feel and a cat-eye curved silhouette, this frame comes in the classic shades of black with the Medusa 3D detailing in silver or gold. One-body lens and the entirely metallic structure make this model unique! Spotted on January Jones (of course) and Lady Gaga. What do you guys think?

For those that are eager to shop the H&M Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Collection by Trish Summerville, here’s a sneak peek of the pop-up in NYC. As I mentioned previously, to celebrate the launch H&M is unveiling the H&M Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Pop-Up Shop in New York City. The pop-up is inspired by the film and will be part retail, part coffee shop with a cyber café. The opening will align with the world premiere of the movie and exclusively carry the entire collection. As guests shop the special collection they will enjoy never-before-seen official extended film trailers, computer hacking activations, an on-site photo booth and complimentary coffee bar. The pop-up shop looks pretty sick!
Start putting together your wishlist. The collection will also be available in Divided departments in around 180 H&M stores worldwide, as well as online starting on December 14, 2011. Are you excited?!
H&M Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Pop-Up Shop

Open Daily from December 14th-16th | 12pm-10pm daily
Exciting news, you guys! The new Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 campaign has just landed – and who are Christopher Bailey’s latest muses? None other than Eddie Redmayne and Cara Delevingne.
It’s no secret that the enviably-browed Cara has slotted seamlessly into the Burberry fold. She first appeared in the S/S’11 campaign, followed by those Burberry Beauty ads, and has opened several of the brand’s London Fashion Week catwalk shows, including the latest for S/S’12.
As for Eddie, it may come as a surprise to hear he’s already in Bailey’s crew too. Remember the S/S’08 campaign when Agyness Deyn was jumping about with a hot male? Yep, that’s our Eddie. Four years later and we’re very pleased to see him reinstated as the quintessential Burberry hero, wrapped in a parka and holding a cuppa tea. What more could you ask for?
‘Christopher wanted something playful from the shoot,’ Eddie reveals, ‘and so Cara and I had a genius couple of days fooling around.’ It sure looks like it, Mr Redmayne! Because although the Brit brand has become famous for showcasing young, homegrown talent, it’s not often we see a Burberry couple doing this:
Ooh err. Okay so Jourdan Dunn did get cozy with Sacha M’Baye on Brighton beach for S/S’11 and Emma Watson was draped around George Craig for S/S’10, but it was nothing like these two, getting all steamy on the floor in His ‘n’ Hers coats! In fact, Cara appears to be wearing nothing but the trademark trench, fox-tastic platform sandals and a saucy stare while Eddie lies beside her. It’s enough to get you hot under your Burberry checked collar.
Rebecca Minkoff has teamed up with the Baby-G to create a timepiece exuding the “downtown romantic” aesthetic that Minkoff has come to be known for. I heart Rebecca Minkoff and her collabs are always so cool and edgy. This collaboration marks her first watch, unlike the typical Baby-G watch bands, Minkoff’s bracelet is made of black ion plated and matte black stainless steel with resin. For contrasting of the black, the dial is pink champagne to give the timepiece a classic, romantic touch. The watch retail for $200. Cute!
“I’m so thrilled to team up with Baby-G, because like me, they believe in providing women with classics that have a twist,” said Rebecca Minkoff. “My collaboration watch was designed as the watch for the everyday woman that wants both function and fashion. Watches are a great accessory – I like to wear a rose gold one and it’s just a beautiful piece of jewelry that adds some fun and color to my outfits. Every woman has a go-to-accessory; I designed this Baby-G with this in mind.”

Have any of you guys shopped at Joe Fresh?!! The Canadian brand launched in 2006 and offers stylish and affordable apparel and accessories for men, women and children. The beauty range launched in 2009. Joe Fresh opened its first international stores in NYC this fall and already there are 3 locations in NYC: 5th Ave, 34th Street and Madison Ave.
Love the Spring 2012 collection, lots of classic silhouettes in basic colors with a pop of orange, yellow, green and blue. The minimalist looks are sick with a few prints here and there. Definitely going to pick up some pieces! What are your favs??!!
