isabel marant for h&m

it's november and you know what that means.... THE month has finally come. the wait is almost over. 

no i'm not talking turkey time at thanksgiving and it's much better than braving the mobs for black friday... in less than ten days the isabel marant x H&M collection will be unleashed in stores and online.  and this is no target, mini curation... we are looking at nearly 130 pieces of affordable perfection from the amazing isabel marant that will easily rival the phillip lim craze that hit stores back in september. the collection stays true to maran'ts rocker bohemian vibe from sleek leather pants and studded heels to fringe sweaters, beaded jackets and suede booties. 

the entire collection is available to view online and sales start 11.14.13... i'm in love!

phillip lim x target

after waiting what feels like FOREVER since the announcement of the phillip lim for target collab earlier this year, the arrival in stores of the coveted line is finally upon us. 

well, for some, it was this week.  apparently several target stores got a little too excited and jumped the gun (wouldn't we too??) releasing the entire collection on shelves for hoards of shoppers to stock up. sadly items are already showing up on ebay at ten times the cost, but at least it's a semi sneak peek for those of us that have to wait until sunday.

you can preview (and soon shop!) the collection here. i know i'll be waiting and ready at midnight to snag as much as i can (it's all fabulous). wish me luck!

xo.

what i want

maybe it's the america's cup frenzy sweeping the city, maybe its listful thoughts of a sunny summer day on the water (the quote "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in san francisco" has never rang so true), or maybe i'm just drawn to the classic look of the navy and white stripes and gold accessories... whatever it be i'm feeling these nautical pieces right now and how perfect they are all summer long!
