Hats Galore

Summer is very nearly here (horray!), and that means we'll be needing some good ol' hats to keep our heads from burning under the noonday sun. Everyone loves themselves a straw hat, from wide, floppy brims to crisp and neat fedoras, there are plenty to choose from. I'm coveting the John Lewis stripy, wide-brimmed hat. 

Who else is thrilled for the warm weather? I went fishing today and I sure could have done with one of these gorge hats to keep the sun off my face. Speaking of hats, who watched the royal wedding? There sure were some crowd-pleasingly awful hats, weren't there? There were even jokes made about one of the hats worn being a Chihuly.

And after those photos, it might be a bit embarrassing to admit that I quite liked a lot of them. Good work Phillip Treacy! 

Happy weekend!

Lanvin for H&M Image Released

Aaaah a preview of the Lanvin collection for H&M was just released via Vogue Russia and it's making me even more excited. The models are Hannelore Knuts, Jane Schmitt, Tati Collitar and Natasha Poly. The collection is going to have 30 pieces for women (not including accessories) and 25 for men. I hope the clothes live up to expectations (especially mine)! There's definitely some fun ruffle and pleat action going on here, but the quality of the tuxedo jacket is looking a bit iffy. I guess we'll have to wait and see until the full lookbook is released in November.

Cheaper than a sandwich

Just so you know I usually measure how much things cost by how many sandwiches I can get for the same price. I know that's weird but just go with it. Anyway, H+M has this dress out now that goes for a whopping $4.95 and it's not half bad. I think it would be better a lot looser but it could definitely work esp. if you had it loose with a black belt or some such. Just think, you could be getting the same type thing but paying 10x the money if you got it at American Apparel.

Can't beat a good deal.
