Styling my Altuzarra boots

Edgy Look

Hello Fashionistas! It's hump-day (I know it's already Thursday in the UK, but my West Coasters still have a couple more hours here in the States). Where does the time go? Monday went by so fast that it feels like I completely missed Tuesday. Oh well, Fri-Yay is on its way. I wanted to do this post for a while now, but the weather hasn't been cooperating with me. It's still warm here in the South; not complaining, just would like a little drop in the temperature. Not wanting to wait any longer, I went ahead and created three different looks for my Altuzarra x Target over-the-knee boots. I already have my favorite look in mind and will be sharing in a later blog post. However, I could be swayed.

Alexander Wang and H&M

Hello Fashionistas! TGIF! 
Any big plans for the weekend? I would love to hear about them. I have family visiting so I'm trying to think up some fun things for us to do (just us girls). On to the blog post. I'm pretty sure you're all aware of Alexander Wang and H&M's collaboration, right? This has been in the news since April. I think. This is something a lot of designers are doing, making affordable pieces for customers who love their designs but can't afford the high-end stuff. I think it's smart. Other designers that have done this are: Altuzarra for Target, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte and Zac Posen. Narciso Rodriguez for DesigNation at Kohl's, also Derek Lam.  When I first saw these looks for the collection, I was a little bit disappointed to be honest. I was not expecting such a sporty collection. I love that he decided to keep the color palette dark, but the sporty look is not really my cup of tea. The dresses are not so bad - depending on the material - they could work as edgy LBDs with the right heels and accessories; they could go from sporty to flirty. I'm on the fence. As it is a woman's prerogative to change her mind, the verdict is still out until I see the pieces in person. Let me know what you think of the collection from Alexander Wang for H&M? Will you be purchasing any of the pieces on November 6th? Of all the collaborations so far, which has been your favorite?

Stripes are taking over! Do you love it? hate it? or just going to go with it? I wonder if the inspiration for this trend was the original candy-striper uniform (do you remember candy-stripers?). I think I'm indifferent for right now. However, the rocket dog selection above is really cute. The verdict is still out on this one.

Ladies, have you wanted to wear boots in the summer but it was too hot and the fear of your toes sweating unbearably was a deterrent  so you opted for sandals? Well, a few designers have answered your prayers, behold the boot/sandal combo. Tom Ford, Stuart Weitzman, Jimmy Choo, just to name a few have designed the perfect mixture of sexy high heel boots with ventilation to let in some air. Will you be wearing this trend this summer? 

Thanks for visiting!
