Lanvin Love

This weekend is packed full of exciting things, one of which is the release of the Lanvin H&M collection in my city. I've been obsessing over the perfection of the vibrant dresses, chic black silhouettes, and ruffled skirts for a quite a while, and I can't wait to actually see my favorite pieces in person.

I dream of wearing the yellow, one-shouldered party dress to the wedding of a very dear friend. I know she would appreciate the significance. {We initially bonded over our similar fashion tastes.}


Have you seen or purchased anything the collection?
What are your favorites?

as if i needed another reason to love nyc...

...enter the vault by lisa perry.

the vault will be downstairs of perry's flagship store on madison ave that was once a citibank and will offer up to 75% off of merchandise from current and past seasons. there will be racks ranging in price and a table of pick-me-up items {accessories, trinkets, etc} at even lower price points.

the bright colors are so happy and inviting! but the thing that i love the most?

the actual vault of the old bank is an installation featuring large costume jewelry and money spilling out of the boxes. ingenious. j'adore.

it looks like a summertime trip to nyc may be a necessity sooner rather than later.

J'adore Dior

Some of my favorite inspirations from pre-Fall 2009....

Christian Dior combines feminine silhouettes and structure. I also love the splashes of red along with the grey and black. It is one of my favorite ways to add interest to an outfit. 

 

I also really adore this look from Givenchy, especially the structured nude sandals, and hope to recreate it in the near future.

Alexander McQueen was among my favorites mainly because of the playful equestrianism of his collection. 

Overall I found that black is the new black, and architectural femininity is key. What do you think, my lovlies?
