Previously you’ve seen H&M‘s Summer 2013 women’s and men’s lookbooks, now here’s a preview of the collection. For Summer, H&M is back to the 90′s grunge era. Layering is key for the look, it’s a mix between girly and tough. The collection was inspired by the most influential catwalks for Spring 2013. Key garments includes: the transparent checked shirt, ripped denim, bold front printed tee and the apron dress. Print-wise, the check is the most important print; combined with patchwork, flowers and bold text prints.
MAC’s new big makeup collaboration has the 12-year-old girl in me very excited.
It’s ARCHIE COMICS, you guys. Betty! Veronica! All recreated a lá MAC.
I always thought I was a Betty at heart — the quiet girl-next-door with a sweet disposition — but the Veronica line of makeup? Full of vampy reds and moody purples? Dang, I might be swayed toward the dark (haired) side.
Take a look below at the Betty and Veronica “Archie’s Girls” collections:
Sugar-sweet peach and bubblegum pink personifies the cheerful, innocent Betty.
The Veronica line — deep red, purple, navy, etc. — is as bold and daring as the dark-haired heartbreaker herself.
The entire “Archie’s Girls” MAC Collection is available online NOW, and in stores February 7…just in time for Valentine’s Day.

rag & bone launches its first ad campaign for Spring/Summer 2013 featuring the one and only Kate Moss. The campaign was shot in England, photographed by Alasdair McLellan, and produced by Laird+Partners. Spring/Summer 2013 is a continuation of the minimalistic concept of creating unique, stripped back imagery. I WANT IT ALL!!
“We shot our first campaign on a deserted North London street so thought it would be an interesting contrast to follow up in a remote English village, which Kate happens to have an affinity for. It was also a fun play on our British heritage,” says Marcus Wainwright, Managing Partner.
