Classic is always in

Hey everyone!

I hope you all had a great week and continue to have a great weekend. Vintage has always been a favorite word of mine. Music, movies and above all else...clothes. So you can understand why I'm extremely excited about Coach bringing back their line of classic bags inspired by the 70's. Coach has been the number one leading brand for purses since I can remember and is preferred by woman all around the world. Whenever I see that their famous logo on a bag I get goose-bumps. Although I'm not a huge fan of their new logo, I still adore the brand regardless. The Classic Collection is mostly made up of beautiful, leather messenger bags in a variety of vivid colors (as seen on the right). I've always preferred Coach's vintage line and have four classic purses I got for an amazing price at a thrift shop. Imagine my surprise when I heard the brand was bringing back some of their classic pieces. It's also kind of bittersweet because it's as if the world is in on the same secret you've known about for years. Nevertheless, I'm thrilled about the comeback. You can find the classic collection at Coach store's worldwide!

OMG!!

Dear Readers,

If you your a fan of my blog you'd know that H&M is one of my favorite stores EVER! It has so much t offer without an enormous price tag to go along with it. With their collaboration with Lanvin back in Jan and their recent Fight Against Aids campaign, it seems H&M always has something exciting to offer. It seems that H&M has done it again. Versace has teemed up with H&M to collaborate a collection that will be debuting in November 2011. The collection will consist of dresses featuring studded leather, silk, and colorful prints. The accessories will consist of high heels and costume jewelry. Think Gaga meet's African Queen. If I was excited for Lanvin's collaboration than I'm ecstatic for Versace's. I'll honestly be camping out right in front of H&M on November 11th. You can find Versace's collection at H&M on November 11th in the U.S and January 21 worldwide. 

Red Hot's

Dear Readers,

Let me just start this post off by saying Happy Fourth of July! I hope you all had an amazing weekend and continue to have a great week. Let me ask you a questions, who doesn't love a beautiful cherry lip? It's no secret that finishing off a look with a elegant, red lip is the key to perfecting any outfit but it seems the color red is even more chic on places other than our lips. There's no doubt that red has always been a statement color since the beginning of the fashion itself. The color red and the word sexy go together as well as Coco Chanel and pearls. Whenever you try on a piece of clothing that has even the smallest amount of the hue on it, it's almost impossible not to feel invincible. Well, it looks as if we're going to be seeing a lot more of this magnificent color around because it's one of the biggest trends of fall 2011. Now, I don't want to get into every, single trend that's going to be hot this season because summer just started. But I just wanted to write about one of the fall trends that's got me incredibly excited. The color has made numerous appearances at this year's fall show's and has been seen on runways raging everywhere from Gucci to Ferretti. I'm head over heels for this trend because I feel it adds a bit of empowerment to woman's clothing that we've have been seeing loads of already. Since it's not fall yet you can incorporate the color in your accessories. Such as a purse, shoes, or even a nice, red lip goes well. Whichever way you choose to broadcast this trend as a preview for autumn's coming attractions, I'm sure you'll have everyone as excited for this seasons looks as I am. Stay safe and fashionable!

Men's Wear 101

Dear Friends,

Men's wear. Those two words are enough to send goose-bumps all throughout my entire body. With autumn not far behind it seems that this trend isn't too far behind as well. I know you're probably wondering why on earth I'm even beginning to discuss autumn trends when we've just started with summer. Well lets just say I like to get a heads start. But not only that, this trend on woman has been around for sometime now. I'm sure you've all heard of a phenomenal woman named Katherine Hepburn. If you haven't then it's about time you hit the classics section on Netflix because she's what you'd call an icon. She's been gracing films with her tomboy/feminine sense of style. Not to mention, she's a damn good actress. Anyways, I always felt that men's wear on woman was and is such a classic as well as timeless look. I'm sure if you ask any man out there he'd tell you that a man's shirt on a woman is just as sexy as a man's shirt on a man. I guess it's a sense of empowerment we woman feel when we throw on an over-sized men's shirt or a blazer. Plus, with designers like Calvin Klein and Stella McCartney bringing back this trend in a more sleeker and stylish way, it's kind of impossible not to fall head over heels with it. And it's hard  not to come across a Chole ad with a some gorgeous model dressed head to toe in nothing but men'w wear. Yes, it seems that this trend is here to stay and that's all there really is to it. So now that you've realized that the trend is here to stay, you're probably wondering how on earth to pull this look off. Honestly, it's easier than most people think. If you're a trying to pull this look off for work then it's best to go with a silk, chiffon blouse tucked into some high waited trousers. Finish the look off some nude stilettos. If you're going out then try a sheer, peach tank tucked into white, skinny jeans finished off with a nude, over-sized blazer. If you're going to invest in a good blazer then I'd try one from Zara. The tailoring is perfection and they have numerous beautiful styles. As far as trousers go, I'd try H&M. Thier bargains are they have a collection of  trendy trousers. With a trend this fashionable and easy, you can bet I'll never leave the house without it. Have a great week and stay safe!

XOXO Sandra :)
