Fashion First
I just got all the images from the Versace for H&M collection, and we’re slapping them up on the site as fast as we can cut and paste. Of note: the leather jacket, those prints, that iconic black dress, that pointed shoe, those belts! I LOVE all of those metallic dresses and the bags, but the good stuff is really getting us thinking about fine tuning our crowd battling strategy… How many more sleeps until November 17?

Hello, Miss Piggy! In celebration of her upcoming movie The Muppets—her first on-screen appearance in 12 years—the Notorious P.I.G. took a moment out of her busy schedule to pose for a photo shoot for InStyle’s November issue. Six designers created custom pieces for her, including Prabal Gurung (shown), Jason Wu, Brian Atwood, Suno, Opening Ceremony, and Giles & Brother. “Simply beautiful, yet deliciously exotic and enticingly romantic. Yes, I’m talking about myself—as well as this fabulous frock designed by my new BFF Prabal Gurung,” Miss P. says of this look. See all of her model moments in the November issue of InStyle, on newsstands Friday.

Iconic dresses are the focus of the women’s collection which includes a classic black silk crepe dress has gold Grecian buttons on its patent straps, multi-colour sequin dresses are covered in archival Versace prints, short metallic dresses come in either silver or gold, and strong colour shift dresses are embellished with studs in classic Greek motifs.
“The collection for H&M is the essence of Versace. For the collaboration we’ve brought back from the archives, as well as from more recent collections, some of the icons of Versace, such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can’t wait to see how H&M’s wide audience will make these pieces their own.” Donatella Versace.
“Versace’s collection for H&M is a moment in fashion. It is full of strong pieces that stand out, with colours, prints and cuts that are clean and precise. The women’s collection is flattering and full of dresses, while the men’s collection is very sophisticated. When I think about Versace I think of iconic items. With this collection for H&M we’ve got the essence of Versace.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.

Gwen Stefani’s children’s line for Targetwon’t hit stores until November 13, but we just got our hands on the full look book so you can peruse what may be the most unique collection of clothing ever designed for those under the age of four.
Your kids may not understand what Harajuku means, but unless they possess the rare sophistication of Suri Cruise, they will probably love these clothes because they look like what an overstimulated child would pick out if left to his or her own devices. The line, which caters to infants, toddlers and tweens, is halloween costume-meets-ballerina-meets-schoolgirl. While your baby might get some weird looks for wearing a pink/floral/striped tutu with legwarmers or sweatpants with giant bunny ears on the butt, the clothes are, for the most part, practical and appropriate. You won’t find any kiddy lingerie here.
So, look below for all the clothes and accessories that Nicki Minaj is totally wishing came in her size. 😉
Be still my beating heart…I found my dream shoe for LIFE, and it isn’t a Wang, a Miu Miu, or a Zanotti. In fact, it’s brand-new London footwear brand Mark Charles, and this Afina boot with criss-crossed straps, a contrast sole, and the most interesting (and flattering!) toe and heel shape I’ve seen recently.
Their awesomeness comes with an awe-inspiring price as well—these strapped boots will set you back $1,148. But, if you’ve got the spare change and a growing interest, you should probably just do it; These boots are made in a limited run, and only 500 are available. The shoes also come with two spare heels, a horsehair wax brush, wax cream, gloves, and a cloth for buffing…which means you know they know the shoes will last you a helluva long time.
You can save and save (and save) for months on end, to put aside enough cash for a dreamy handbag with that infamous, to-die-for label. But, let’s face it, you need something that looks phenomenal now, while still paying your rent. And there’s definitely no reason to shackle yourself to debt just to score a carryall that looks luxe, and maybe gets stopped on the street every once in a while, for a compliment. That’s why we’ve narrowed down the options to five (under-$100) bags that fit the bill in every sense of the term. Pick your favorite for fall, and save the change for your piggy bank.

I was invited to nOir Jewelry‘s showroom to check out their new collections. I was walked through all the new designs and immediately was attracted to the nOir Jewelry for L.A.M.B. collection which debuted in Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. Spring 2012 presentation during NYFW. The collection was beautiful, Indian-inspired and simply amazing! Stay tuned for more pics: )
