H&M Fall 2011 Luxe

I am in no way ready for fall or winter coats or boots, as my spring shoe collection has barely seen the light of day. But I came across the H&M Fall 2011 Lookbook over the weekend and was just so impressed with textures and styling of their upcoming pieces. I love the pin straight hair and dark lips, the dark jewel tones and luxe looking materials they'll be using. And true to H&M form all items will retail for under $199. Hey, always need something to look forward to, right?

Friday Favorites

my new Jeffrey Campbell Groovies

purple blouses from H&M and Club Monaco. kind of feel like Prince meets Geisha.

YSL arty ring, quite possibly my favorite new purchase in a looong time.

the perfect cutoff shorts from Zara- will possibly live in these this summer.

super cute copper glitter nail polish from Sephora for OPI. I have the gold and silver already and love how they look solo or layered on top of other colors.

The Great Sock Debate Part II- Solved!

So I was originally planning to wear this outfit with tights. But finally the weather in NYC blossomed into something beautiful and I just couldn't bear to stuff my legs into another pair of tights after months and months spent in them. So last night I decided to take a trip to JCPenney on my way home to find just the right sock! I tried this look with both a light tan and a heathered navy sock. I think the tan works better. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the outcome and my heels are much more comfortable with the soft sock on. Part of me even feels like a little girl without the ruffles on her socks. What do you think?

H&M Spring 2011

Kasia Struss brings Spring to life in the most recent H&M Magazine. Loving the easy but structured looks and digging the strong shoulder on that red blazer.
