Looks by Vanessa: Easy Breezy

Top: Thailand Market  

Skirt: Vintage 

Wedges: Kurt Geiger

I'm so excited for this week — the Versace for H&M collection is coming to stores, and I can't wait to buy the studded leather jacket. I think it's perfect for my style :)

The weather is getting worse and worse near me. There's lots of rain, and it's getting colder as the days go by. Actually, time is passing by really fast — we only have a month until Christmas! (One of my favorite holidays of the year.)

This week's look is easy breezy. The top is from Thailand Market, the skirt is vintage, and the wedges are Kurt Geiger. 

Well, have a great week!

Love, V

Fashion (and Fashion Shows) Galore

Last night, Donatella Versace displayed her Versace for H&M collection to an audience full of fashion editors and celebrities. The event took place at Pier 57 in the Meatpacking District of NYC, which turned into "Versace for H&M Hall on the Hudson," just for this special occasion. The show consisted of 43 studded and palm-tree printed Miami styles.

This certainly serves as a pleasant reminder that Versace for H&M will be in stores exactly one week from Saturday, on Nov. 19. Mark your calendars and save those paychecks — you'll need them!

Ten days later, a less pricy (free, actually) event will air on CBS: the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Nov. 29. In fact, Victoria's Secret is taping its hyped-up annual runway show today. It's taking place at the 69th Regiment Armory in Kip's Bay. The Angels are set to wear a total of 69 costumes, with themes ranging from aquatic to magic, and references that include New Orleans, the movie Pretty Baby, and voodoo.

Which event are you most excited about: Versace's or Victoria's?

Versace Menswear for H&M

 

For menswear, the new Versace for H&M collection will include sharp, sophisticated tailoring and a rainbow of vibrant, eye catching colors. Dontella has taken the essence of previous Versace collections to make something magnificent — not to mention making it affordable for all men to look their very best.

For many pieces, including full suits, the Italian house has chosen to keep one color constant to make a bold and formal fashion statement. The collection also has a variation of different materials, such as black leather, zebra stripes, and other extravagant prints. It’s aesthetically pleasing and will surely sell out quickly.

One key piece in the collection is a pair of black tailored knee-length shorts with gold and silver embellishments on the sides. The fact that the shorts are rolled up a few inches at the bottom verifies that this style is currently on trend, since such fierce tailoring and detail has never been seen from Versace before. The collection covers all realms of menswear by adding outstanding accessories to the mix. There are several embellished scarves and hats — including prints, too!

Versace's menswear collection for H&M will storm 300 stores around the world and will also be sold on H&M'a website, so there will be plenty of opportunities to grab (and flaunt) these amazing Versace-quality items, beginning on Nov. 17. More of the collection after the jump...
