H&M to open concession

H&M are launching a concession stand in Selfridge's in London, this Thursday.

This is huge, as it's their first ever store-in-store worldwide!

On their app, H&M say about the new concession that it will contain an 'edited selection' of their collections as well as 'limited and exclusive collections'.

As a huge, H&M fan (about 3/4 of my wardrobe is from there) I'm super excited to see what they're going to bring out!

News broke this week about Kate Middleton and Prince William's engagement.
Ever since, there has been excitement in Britain and across the world surrounding the possible wedding dates/venues and of course, the dress.

As well as this, the day after the engagement was announced, the Issa dress worn by Kate when making the announcement was sold out.

What are your opinions on the dress and the engagement as a whole??

Finally...

Finally it's Friday which means that I can tell you my big news that I'm really excited about :)
I'm going to new york in a month!
I'm super excited about it. I've only been once before, for just under a week, about three years ago. And I've been craving to go back ever since and finally I can so... yeah, I'm really excited :D
Here's some pics I took from my last trip.
I actually lost the rest when my laptop broke (must remember to back files up!!!) so I'm looking forward to replacing some of the photos this trip too.

I'm rubbish at blogging...

I've been so bad at blogging lately, been really busy though with work-ish stuff. I've got some new stuff going on that I'm pretty excited about. Its best if you follow my twitter (here) I keep that better updated.

Also I have some pretty exciting news, which I'm probably going to break in about a week or so. MUST stay tuned for that :)

I'm still looking for a more permanent job as well. It's becoming a little bothersome lol.
I'm being very patient. I'll keep you updated on that also. :)

NYFW - Preen

Another one of my favourite fashion houses have shown already at NYFW.

Preen, like Thakoon, and elements of Victoria Beckham's collection features explosions of whites and silvers. 

This pale palette is showased in minimalistic designs and cuts but with a little extra. Think pleats (picture 3) and ruffles (2) and interesting apron-like extras on their trouser suits and shift dresses (1 & 6).

NYFW

My favourite Victoria Beckham pieces from her spring 2011 RTW collection. 

I'm really sad that I'm not at NY fashion week. Instead, I have to look at all the collections on style.com.

As you should know, I'm the biggest fan of VB. 

I was really excited about the unveiling of this collection as its the biggest one she's done.

The bags are also designed by miss VB herself, and the shoes are once again by Brian Atwood. 

[NEWS]

So the news on twitter this morning is that Lanvin are going to be designing a collection for H&M.

H&M have been teasing their followers for the past week with video clues. 

 

The collection will be revealed on 2nd November and  in stores on the 23rd - I've already put it in my diary. :P

(Lanvin haven't confirmed or denied this yet.....please let this be true!)



What are you hoping to see in the Lanvin/H&M collection?

EDIT: Lanvin have now confirmed that they are designing for H&M.

The French Government today is aiming to pass a law which states that wearing a burka will be illegal.

There are around 2000 women who wear a burka in France.

If a women is caught wearing the garment after the law is passed, they can face a 150€ fine. However, if they are being forced to wear it by their husband for example, he could face a year in prison.

The garment is already illegal in French state schools.
