danier-leather-gift-card-giveaway

Last week, I wrote about the Danier Leather Spring 2013 preview, and today, on day 9 of Style Days of Christmas I want one of my  lucky readers to win a $100 gift card from Danier to either spend immediately on a bunch of awesome winter necessities, or save it until those beautiful spring goodies hit the stores. The choice is yours.

Personally, I’ve been eyeing the entire Greta Constantine Skin capsule collection, which features some must-have Danier pieces like the sexy leather detail dress and skirt, leather combo vest, obi wrap leather belt, and jersey and lamb leather leggings. Those are the sexiest basics I’ll ever own! So if you’d like a skirt or a vest of your very own, make sure to enter this giveaway below!

H&M Spring 2013 Lookbook

h&m-spring-2013-lookbook

As we are gearing up for winter here in Canada, my fave fast-fashion retailer H&M is looking forward to spring…and I really don’t mind! Yesterday, I attended the brand’s Spring 2013 preview, and walked away needing my fix of spring H&M goodies. Not until next year, unfortunately…but we can still admire the clothes…right?

Lately I’ve been straight-up obsessed with decorative pineapples, so imagine my delight when I saw not one, not two, but a whole bunch of H&M Spring 2013 pieces with my fave fruit all over them (in print, of course!). Apart from pineapples, there were some really beautiful printed pieces, which reminded me of Clover Canyon and Mary Katrantzou, with their photo-prints and flowy silhouettes. If I could get my hands on a printed maxi in time for my vacay, I think I’d be the happiest ever…but alas, it won’t be hitting the stores until next year, so no dice.

I also loved the Western-inspired leather pieces, from booties to skirts to pants to jackets, this trend will have a strong presence this spring, and I hope to snag a leather mini to wear with my ankle boots come spring.

Overall, I really enjoyed the Spring 2013 preview…it was a small taste of spring on a bleak fall day. Now if only we could just skip the winter altogether, and get to the good stuff already!

H&M Divided The Grey Concept Lookbook featuring Alice Dellal

hm-divided-the-grey-concept-fall-2012-01

Speaking of H&M Divided The Grey Concept Collection. I am absolutely head over heels for it. Featuring edgy layering pieces in various shades of grey (and black), this collection was pretty much made to emulate that coveted model-off-duty look.

Featuring Alice Dellal, Charlotte (Olympia) Dellal’s little sister, the lookbook is a perfect fit for the collection that was inspired by rock & roll and youthful rebellion.

“Youthful rebellion drives the collection, mixing aesthetics across the board. A fabulous fusion of dishevelled grunge/rock garments to die for, layered together to create an edgy new look.”

So what do you think about this collection? Will you be checking out the pieces in stores? Share your faves in the comments.

Maison Martin Margiela at H&M Lookbook!

maison-martin-margiela-h&m-lookbook

How awesome are the above Maison Martin Margiela at H&M boots and glove bag? Pretty effing awesome if you ask me. We are less than a month away from this glorious collab hitting the stores, and I am almost done making my shopping list! For one, those boots and bag are non-negotiable (as in I will punch anyone who tries to get between me and those two items…you’ve been warned), but I’ll also try to get my hands on the gorgeous silver necklace, blue dress, bra top, blood dress, beige pumps, glove clutch, silver leggings, red dress, blue skirt, and possibly those white paint covered mens shoes…if I find a size small enough. Holy crap. Come November 15th, I’ll be broke and eating Mr. Noodles on the regular. But at least I’ll look good, right?

What’s on your shopping list for the Margiela at H&M collection? Let me know in the comments!

I hope you weren’t planning on being very productive today, because the H&M Winter Holidays 2012 Menswear and Womenswear Lookbooks will have you daydreaming about pretty party clothes all day/night long.

I, for one, can’t wait to get my paws on some of these gorgeous party frocks (especially the blue one above), printed separates (hello, space invaders skirt!), and fun Marni-esque jewelry. I am even thinking of picking up a couple of menswear pieces for myself too. Don’t tell me you aren’t loving this gorgeous green suede moto jacket! It’s PERFECT for fall!

From sequins, to leather, to velvet, to suede…looks like H&M will have my holiday attire covered this year! What do you think about this collection? Are you loving it as much as I am? Share in the comments.

Absolutely in love with this Madewell Fall 2012 lookbook, featuring Beyonce’s little sis Solange Knowles. This beautiful lady has been known to gravitate towards vibrant colors and fun pieces, and Madewell looks to be a perfect fit!

Joe Fresh Fall 2012 Collection Lookbook

joe-fresh-fall-2012

In other Canadian fashion news, Joe Fresh Fall 2012 collection lookbook finally hit the interwebs, and I am seriously contemplating buying it all. At Joe prices, I can certainly afford it!

I’ve already seen some of the pieces back in March at the Joe Fresh Toronto Fashion Week show, and have promised to stalk them until I hunt them down. Well, I’m one step closer to making it happen! *insert happy dance here* My favorites so far are the houndstooth pieces, the colorful pants, and the fun knits, which I can’t wait to pick up and rock this fall.

Lana Del Rey for H&M Complete Lookbook

lana-del-rey-hm

Back in July, I posted a sneak peek of Lana Del Rey’s campaign for H&M, and today I am happy to share the complete lookbook with you! Looking pouty and somewhat dazed, Lana has been styled in mostly soft pastels, and retro silhouettes. And though I do like a few pieces from this campaign, I must say, I wish H&M had chosen someone with…more of a personality to model their fall collection, because to me, this lookbook falls a little flat.

Curious to know what you think! Share in the comments!

Zara Woman August 2012 Lookbook

zara-august-2012-lookbook

Remember when I was all “cooler temps = cooler clothes”? Well, if this Zara August 2012 Lookbook, featuring the lovely Liu Wen, doesn’t prove it, then I don’t know what will. Literally half of the items in these photos are going on my fall wishlist. Where shall I start? Jacket above – MUST HAVE! Dress below – YES, PLEASE! The entire collection of leather, boucle, feathers, knits, lace, embroidery, and more leather has me drooling, while my wallet is quietly weeping in the corner.

I know I’m not the only one who’s obsessed with this lookbook! Who’s with me?
