Be All That You Can Be
Not in the army silly! On Project Runway! This is actually a subliminal post, to a dear friend of mine who has all the creativity, smarts, and knowledge not to mention killer shoes and wardrobe, to not only own the next season of P.R but to shut it completely down. I can only hope this advertisement serves as the inspiration she needs as well as the kick in the pants! I also hope this is the motivation that a lot of other amazing designers out there take this step on to become a legacy. Go for it little monsters (in GAGA voice), I believe in all of you. (-;

H&M Haul ****UPDATE*****
Saturday morning I made my way down to H&M to check out the Garden Collection, as well as a few other items that caught my eye. I was very pleased with the look and quality of the items. Though because of the proportions of my body, the best accessory that I had handy was my belt. The collection contains beautiful deep reds royal blues and floral prints done in ruffles drapy and flowy fabrics. I've mentioned in a previous post what my favorite pieces were, however, the main item I wanted to pick up, the floral print kimono dress was unavailable at the location. I will try again tomorrow. Here's what I did have a chance to try;
This is my typical saturday outfit, very comfortable and easy to change out of for trying clothing on, messy hair, no makeup very low maintenance. Here Forever 21 gold jacket, American Apparel Sexuali tee, H&M long cardigan, Guess embellished flats, and LOTS of hardware! I will discuss the large vintage rings in a up and coming post they have a very interesting story.
This jacket was pretty cool, on clearance for $10 bucks, it was a light weight textured 3/4 sleeve jacket with hook eye closure, great cut and lined. Quite a steal!
Part of the Garden Collection, this red rose textured 3/4 sleeve cropped jacket was my most favorite item. Im a big fan of strong and exaggerated sleeves. The color, didn't show up as I would have liked because of camera phone but its a very vibrant true red.
Next up is the floral ruffled shirt, which was available in 3 different patterns I believe. I really like the sleeves but it was one of the items that looked best on me accompanied with a belt.
This was an item that i found while browsing, I really love the soft peachy color for spring and the ruching of the fabric, makes it less simple, and more versatile, giving the option as both dressy and casual.
This dress was another example of "saved by the belt". I tried on the dress in a medium and it looked like a trash bag but when paired with a belt, Abra Cadabra! Structure and shape! Also the color was a deeper and more beautiful ocean like blue.( smh picking up new phone tomorrow)
Last but not least, my second most favorite item of the day. This black grommet studded shoulder mini situation. This was UNBELIEVABLE. The quality of the fabric was wonderful, very heavy and thick. The shoulders obviously would make Michael Jackson and any Balmain lover proud. The price, a very cool 59 bucks....Totally worth double! Very sexy, very chic. What else do you need???
****UPDATE*****
Another day with no makeup, bed head, awful lighting, and blurry camera shots excuse me. I went back today, in hopes of finding the Kimono sleeve floral dress and I DID!!!! Not only did i find the dress I also found the above ensemble. I would have never ever ever chosen this for myself and thats a great thing because it looks totally different from anything I have in my closet and I've really been trying to branch out and try new things. More of Garden Collection delight, the floral print tank is great and has a hidden bra inside, love the fabric, except they didn't have my size and this one was too big in the chest area. The shorts, were extremely comfortable and comes in the collections signature deep ocean blue color. Though ruffle detail especially around the hip area can get messy and frumpy, I found these shorts flattering and comfortable and very pretty. Last but not least the boyfriend blazer was a great topper to complete the look. Great neutral color, nice cut and tones down the sexy just enough to make this appropriate for daytime and keep your shoulders warm without taking away from the hypnotic attraction of the fabrics and shapes.

The Garden Collection by H&M
Inspired by "70s hippie chic flower-power, chlorophyll-green gardens, and sun drenched landscapes" H&M's Garden collection is everything you would expect in Spring 2010. Beautifully crafted flower print airy dresses. Organic frilly flowing tops and my favorite of the collection, pure red structured bolero jacket and banded mini dress with flowered detail at the lower half, featured in a soft nude and the pure red which seems to be how the line is identified. The most interesting detail about the line is that sustainable materials or recycled PET bottles or textile waste were used, in the production. What a way to go green gorgeous! Below are my most favorite pieces of the collection and more detail about the elements used...
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
- Organic cotton is cotton that has been grown without the use of hazardous chemicals.
- Organic linen is linen that has been grown without the use of hazardous chemicals.
- Recycled polyester is polyester made from PET-bottles or textile waste.
- Tencel is silky, renewable material produced with minimal environmental impact.

Alexander McQueen X Puma
As if I needed another reason not to entertain strangers and passers-by while stumbling though the rough concrete streets of New York in anything over two inches. I present to you the late Alexander McQueen X Puma.
The metaphoric concept of 'Power' is the DNA of the new collection. Physical and mental power exist at the very core of sport, and the collection strives to interpret and convey it in innovative and unexpected ways. With 'Power' as a constant reference, each season's collection will also have a specific seasonal theme related to sport. The Autumn/Winter 2009 seasonal theme is boxing – a sport with power at its essence, referenced in style, color and material applications. The concept of 'Power' is represented by 'Crane vs. Tiger', the new iconic brand image created by fashion photographer Nick Knight and Alexander McQueen.
