RALPH LAUREN X COLLETE SOFT RICKY BAG

$2229 FROM COLETTE 

Now I've seen the Ralph Lauren Soft Ricky bag and I was always on the fence about it due to the colors that were available but this collaboration has me looking at it COMPLETELY different. The touch of blue on the sides of the bag give it a nice pop of color and a very unique appeal.  Both in the Black/Blue White/Blue, the closures and straps are almost reminiscent of a treasure chest, neatly done to fit the design of a handbag. Now all you need is $2229.68 and the bag is all yours. :D

TOP THREE PIECES FROM THE ISABEL MARANT X H&M PREVIEW

    So from the looks of the Isabel Marant X H&M collection photos that have surfaced, alot of the collection screams fringy, tweed like tops and sequined pieces that are great as separates, but NOT meant to be together. I'm quite surprised she didn't do a H&M version of her heeled sneakers that have brought here to the forefront recently. Seeing most of the pieces, the best ones tend to be the ultra warm, fuzzy pieces you'll need for that under 20 degree weather in New York or Russia. Either way, it'll be November when the collection releases, so be prepared to invest heavily into these three comfy creations.

MY 3.1 PHILLIP LIM X TARGET WISHLIST

            I don't think I've EVER been so excited for such a collaboration since the LANVIN X H&M collaboration ( which was short lived since I worked at H&M and had to deal with the crazy antics of those killing to own a piece). It looks like such a stylish collection, and the ad campaigns in magazines are definitely presenting the collection as essential pieces by dividing it into a morning, noon and night story. What appeals to me the most is the styling, since when worn together, the looks create really interesting lines and shapes and the details become more apparent. Below are my three picks, and you can click here to stay updated on the collection when it releases on September 15th. I never knew why my city decided to plop a Target down the block from my house, but obviously now I know they were thinking about me :D.

CONVERSE COLLABORATION X 2

   So, two new collaborations are on the way to atoners store near you. The first is the Chuck Taylor All Star San Francisco Moments collaboration (thats a lot of "title"). Detailing some of the most historic moments in the city of San Fran (the Gold Rush being on the bottom and the 1906 earthquake on the top), the collection evokes a very handmade, original feel, and I'm getting attached to the Gold Rush style already. The best part about this collaboration is 100% of the proceeds goes to Compass Family Services, helping underprivileged families in San Francisco. The collection drops Friday and is available on www.shoebizsf.com.
