A throwback among H&M collaborations

Have you heard the big news? This season's H&M will collaborate with..KENZO. Yayyy!The capsule collection will be released in november.. like every year.. and I can't wait!
I've been following H&M's collaboration since 2008.. I actually didn't like the past couple of collaboration to be honest.. not really for the pieces themselves which were just as beautiful as the standards of Balmain and Alexander Wang (just to name some) but cause It became a status thing.. hours queuing.. boutique prices.. people arguing over a belt.. As a fashion student you can easily understand how much this world means to me.. but really.. when it's too much it's too much.. fashion shouldn't be used to show money.. it should be used to show personality.. aaand back at the main topic..I'm just so excited about Kenzo this year.. I do really hope that it's usual radiant colours and vibrant patterns will bring more fun than just the idea of "grabbing a random piece cause it's Kenzo" if you know what I mean. So in preparation of the big launch.. that will actually be in 5 months..I thought to do a little throwback posting some bits of the past collaborations that I enjoyed the most! At first I wanted to post a pic for each collaboration but they actually are too many.. so here's some of my favs!

Selfmade clothes are the best

here

Hiya! Today I'm so proud of my outfit.. not only cause I sew this dress myself but because of how good I feel in it. I have to say it's quite bold because of the pattern and the bright colours.. so you are supposed to be in a good humor in the first to wear it anyway but I can assure that once on I would keep it for ever!

I've been wondering why among all the dresses I've ever sewn this is the only one that gets me so..emotional ..and really I don't know. I wore it last week..and the coats and thights clearly describe the terrible weather of the last few weeks.. I haven't worn this dress in ages anyway but seen how much I love it still now after 4 years of having it.. I decided to look for the spare fabric I used to make it.. and guess what..I actually found it..and guess what again.. I've actually already used it. I was so excited that in a couple of days my new favourite peplum bustier was ready..so yeah.. just let's wait for this random-storm situation to pass out and I'll show you my new bit!

Un post in Italiano dopo secoli! Stavolta è per parlarvi di un sito stra carino che vende abiti eleganti ma affordabili! Principalmente Abiti da sposa ma che in realtà possono essere visti con ben diversi fini, come l'abito sopra che io indosserei tranquillamente per una serata "dal tocco in più".

here

Se mi dovessi sposare domani (cosa non proprio in programma) probabilmente tra i vari Vestiti da sposa sceglierei questo.. ne sono innamorata! Oro e bianco sono un abbinamento così fine ma allo stesso tempo non scontato per un matrimonio, non pensate?

Oltre alla sezione degli Abiti da cerimonia, però, c'è anche la sezione dedicata a chi al matrimonio è stata solo invitata.. ma che non per questo non può sentirsi magica per una sera..

here

Si sà.. il rosa fa sentire bene tutte le donne.. e tra Vestiti da cerimonia e Abiti da sera ce n'è solo l'imbarazzo della scelta! Ma se come me avete la carnagione troppo chiara per essere al top in un bel rosa cipria senza scadere nell'effetto "confetto sbiadito" vi consiglio questa perla trovata tra i Vestiti eleganti proposti dal brand

here

Insomma.. che il matrimonio sia il vostro, siate una damigella o un'amica di Vestiti per matrimonio qui ne potete trovare per tutti i gusti! E se ancora non siete riuscite a trovare l'abito giusto date un' occhiata anche qui su stylewe, dove la varietà è, se possibile, ancora maggiore! Questa è la sezione dove io ho trovato esattamente quello che cercavo --> mini skirts

February went fast but I've been so full that literally I had no time to eat even.. March didn't start as an easy one neither but in between work I seem to have a little more space! ..Not enough for a good session of shopping tho.. so my only thirst can be satisfied by adding pieces to my "I NEED IT" folder on the desktop sadly.. At least I got some good gems from my late night web resources :)

TRENDS| Olive

The Yeezy Season 1 collection and the ubiquitous and costant protagonism of the Kardashians and their nude-suede-balmanish look with a splash of brown and loaaads of olive green brought up a new global trend. We've been through the ugly burgundy-mustard phase for like 4 winters in a row and we were quite resigned that there were no colours for winter out of them.. but.. we evolved from there! Now beije, brown, rose gold, marble, nude..and..olive green got the spot.

From all these new colours the one who got me the most is the olive one.. No pale colours for pale skin girls.. so yeah..not that I could choose! And the web seems to be on the same wave length cause I found so many nice and affordable pieces zipping around.. and so.. here's a list of all the things I'd buy in olive green at the moment.. But first here's some pics of the Kardashians in their olive outfits..just to get a better idea :)
