Urban Cavalier - Lux & Low Cost

I love this H&M horse print, and it is actually long enough to wear as a little dress with leggings, but here I preferred to pair it with a leather skirt.  These are some of my favorite colors, maroon, caramel, chocolate brown, burnt orange.  I also tried to focus on mixing textures and materials, warm tones and cooler ones, and some of my favorite low cost items with pricier accessories.

What I'm wearing:
Button-down shirt + Skirt + Tights:  H&M
Jacket:  Max&Co.
Bag:  Jamin Puech
Boots:  Ralph Lauren
Belt:  Zara

Marni at H&M - Chic Spring Silk

 

Last week I managed to buy some items from the beautiful collection, Marni at H&M.   This sale turned out to be quite an adventure.  I arrived at the H&M near Milano's Duomo at 10am to discover that people had been waiting outside the shop since dawn to get a numbered bracelet that would allow them a mere 15 minutes of shopping.  There were crowds of people desperate to get in somehow before everything was sold, and I realized that I probably wasn't going to be buying any Marni.  In a last-ditch effort, I blurted out, "I guess the only way to get in at this point is by bribing someone!".  Little did I know that this comment would introduce me to my fashion guardian angel.  After chatting for a little while in line, fellow fashion blogger  www.ilariaginevra.com very kindly gave me one of her two entry bracelets.  Thank you Ilaria!  I'm thrilled with my purchases.

Making Mustard Palatable - Autumn City Look

 

Mustard is hot this season, but it's not always complexion flattering when used as the primary color in an outfit.  Try using it as an accent, blended with other warm, autumnal colors to make it more palatable if it's not quite your color.
