Thank You Fashion Bomb


Today I was featured as a Fashion Bombshell of the Day on The Fashion Bomb and I couldn't be more appreciative. The Fashion Bomb is a website that covers "all urban fashion all the time" and is a great site to see what celebrities are wearing, trends emerging from the catwalk, and much more. I love them so much for picking me and it was great to see some postiive feedback on my personal style! Definitely has got me thinking I should post outfit pictures on this site, maybe i'll start that soon. Until then THANKS FASHION BOMB!!! You guys made my day :)

Lavin Love :: H&M Autumn 2010

If H&M wasn't fashionable enough on it's own its ability to team up with major designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Commes De Garcons and Sonia Rykiel keeps them in demand. This autumn expect an even bigger fashion frenzy when Lanvin for H&M hits stores on November 23. The Parisian label is collaborating with the brand under artistic director Albar Elbaz and designer Lucas Ossendrijver and will feature both womenswear and menswear. Lanvin is easily on of the most influential designers of the 21st century so it will be such a treat to have it at such easy access. Albar described the collection as translating " the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less...what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public" (H&M.com). You can hear more of his thoughts of the collection on Lavin's website as well as view his work for previous collections and you can preview of Lavin for H&M fashion show at 8:00 November 2 on H&M.com.




If you can't wait for Lanvin 's debut H&M has more than enough to chose from in store right now. We've all seen the commericals of well dress models primping themselves to Erykah Badu singing Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters and those stylish pieces are are from H&M's Autumn 2010 collection. This fall you will find over sized cardigans, denim and leather variations, neutral tones, belts, soft chiffons, floral, utility styles and over the shoulder bags.

White Carpet: VMA's 2010


The MTV Video Movie Awards are always a star studded event but this year there a lack of shine. From Ke$ha's taking out the trash ensemble and Lady Gaga's rotting meat I was less than impressed with the fashions of this years white carpet. Even the always fabulous Kim Kardashian bored us in a beige ensemble, Rhianna who always rocks it out caused me concern when she dawned a long pink tutu, fire engine red hair and a sparkly head band (she must have been taking tips from Ke$ha backstage) and Katy Perry looked more like a member of the ice capades than a pop princess. Although there were no great fashion moments to take note of, a few of my favorite starlets did not a disappoint and salvaged this years carpet from being an utter disaster.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER:
What I love about these two looks is that both Ciara and Eva Pigford took a risk for the VMA' with funky feathers, sheer bodices and sky high platforms.


SIMPLY CHIC:
Simple is always chic especially in black or white. These ladies keep it classy with out being boring by incorporating trendy elements like lace and leather with lots of leg.


SILVER BELLES:
Audrina Patridge and Selena Gomez prove that silver is sexy and at little extra bling is never a bad thing!

DO wear white


Why keep white in your wardrobe? It's crisp, clean, contemporary and a great neutral to wear with your favorite fall colors. This years hottest designers cast white as a constant in their collections. Contrary to popular belief white is a season less shade that can be worn all year round. Pick pieces in leather, thick wools, furs and chunky knits in line with the season.


But even more intimidating than the color "no white pants after labor day" is an urban myth. HOLD ONTO TO YOUR WHITE JEANS. Denim is always a staple to every wardrobe so don't toss your bright whites just because there are leaves on the ground. To stay fall fresh pair your whites with chunky knits, fur and leather.Use white as base and layer up with deep colors and multiple textures. Don't be afraid to wear an all white look and use accessories for a pop of color and interest.


See how I plan to wear my favorites this season:
