So I wore my Wolf sweater for the first time last weekend. And though nothing magical happened that day, I am sure one of these days the power of the wolf will show itself! Until then, I love the softness of it, and le boyfriend likes that it’s a men’s sweater, hence he can borrow it when he feels particularly silly. Magical and versatile!
Hot on the heels of The Row lookbook, comes Elizabeth and James Spring 2010. And this one, I definitely like much, MUCH better! Nothing new in terms of silhouettes, but nevertheless love the pretty dresses, the more serious separates, and the shoes! Are those shoes Elizabeth and James also? Again, nothing new, but still my heart flutters! It’s not even snowing in Toronto, and I am already thinking about my spring wardrobe. What is wrong with me???

Well, November is actually pretty much over, but the holiday season is still in full force! Thus this month’s H&M Shopping post is devoted to dresses, dresses, dresses…and some sweaters! There are always so many things I want at H&M that it becomes increasingly difficult not to go nuts and buy everything I try on, but thankfully some of the items aren’t available in my size – which is the only thing that stops me. Thank goodness for that!
This time around, I spotted lots of holiday-worthy dresses: golden lamé dresses, floral dresses ala Stella McCartney, and my personal favorite - black furry dress. The latter was so adorable, yet I didn’t buy it, because as per my worst fears, I ended up looking more yeti, than chic. Oh well.
I also must let you know that H&M is having an outerwear sale, with most coats and jackets going at 50% off! Hence, the below studded leather jacket is no longer $130, but a very affordable $65! That’s a pretty good deal for real leather and great fit! And my latest addiction – menswear shopping for myself is still not satiated, as I found more lovely sweaters this time around! The one with the wolf is an homage to the “3 howling wolves” t-shirt phenomenon. I hope it brings me luck in love, life, and everything else. It’s supposed to be magical, just read the amazing comments! More shopping posts are coming soon! Stay tuned!
And yes, the below cardigan is also available in H&M’s men’s section! So comfy and great for winter!
I love Sasha Pivovarova! Not because she’s Russian like moi, but also because she’s a beautiful model, an artist and so much more! These Holiday ads are so much better because of her radiant smile, no? And the tall, dark, handsome and scruffy male model isn’t too bad either!

Spring 2010 lookbook promises skirts, fringe, embellishments, pink scarves, multi-color patterns…No, I’m not talking about womenswear, silly! If you didn’t think that women’s line was anything to write home about, the menswear lookbook is definitely trying to push the envelope. As a newly converted omni-shopper, I look at the H&M Spring 2010 Menswear Lookbook, trying to find pieces wearable by moi. And so far, it’s pretty promising. Loving the colorful scarves, the leather camel-colored jacket is fab, and the feather t-shirt would look awesome with leggings. But the styling of this lookbook is just “meh” for me, but then again…what do I know? Are you loving any of the looks/pieces or is it just too much?

So it’s been announced that Kings of Leon partnered up with Surface to Air to design a limited edition collection, which will be presented and sold exclusively at ParisTexas store in Denmark. This strikes me as such random news, that I don’t even know what to think. The pieces definitely look like something that the guys from Kings of Leon would wear (love the jacket, boots, and the necklace), but celebrity clothing lines are so common and pedestrian nowadays, that it’s seriously surprising to see them agree to it. Riding the wave of their recent popularity, perhaps? But then why Denmark? Why not Sears or JC Penney? Can’t you just imagine? Is it the economy?

Well, I hope my male readers are quite happy with me, because I have yet another post dedicated to the boys this week! A few photos, featuring the new Jimmy Choo for H&M collection have surfaced, and here they are! I am absolutely hating the studded belt styling for guys. It’s just…not right. But if you think your man would be into it, then by all means, it should be available November 14th at select H&M stores. I do, however, like the rough boots. I actually want these for myself…If only I wore the same shoe size as le boyfriend. Wait, then my feet would’ve been freakishly big, or his extremely small and girlie. Ok, scrape that thought.

Finally an H&M male model that doesn’t look like a Geico caveman! As promised to my male readers, here’s some menswear ad campaign photos for H&M’s Fall 2009 knitwear collection (and some womenswear after the jump). I, myself, really love wearing knits during the fall and winter months, and even in the spring. They are just so comfy, cozy and warm! I already picked up a couple of sweaters at H&M this season. They always have so many styles to choose from and it’s getting colder and colder each day! Happy Friday everyone! Stay warm!

Have you heard of Blanco? Unlike Mango and Zara, this store also hails from Spain. And of course, since European clothing companies take their precious time expanding to North America, we, Canadians, still don’t have a taste of Blanco here. Last time I was in Madrid, I wasn’t too impressed with the collection in stores, but the new Winter 2010 lookbook is really making me change my mind about the brand. Maybe it’s the lovely photos, but I am in love with it all: shoes, dresses, sequins. So pretty! So romantic! And just like with Topshop, all I can do is mope around and wish it was here. Sigh.
Many more photos after the jump!
