My Marni Adventure
8 MarThe day has come! Marni for H&M debuted today at select H&M stores across the country. The wait for the fancy high-end Italian house’s affordable line is finally over. The collection included traditional Marni bold printed blouses, flirty polka-dotted frocks, structured jackets as well as accessories — including a mix of chunky bracelets and necklaces. Only 3 stores in the LA area had the collection, so I chose an (indoor) mall location just in case I had to wait in a line long. I arrived at the mall at 9am ran up to H&M to find a wristband person(I read online they’d be giving wristbands out). I got my wristband with my designated “shopping time”10:45-11:00am on it. Every 15 minutes, they would let a group of 30 people in a barricaded area to shop. There was a guy with a megaphone screaming the time remaining. I just watched the frenzy for the next hour and 45 minutes until my group was let in. I also watched in sadness as my beloved white flower necklace slowly disappeared off the shelves:( Finally they let my group in and I felt like I was on supermarket sweep…..my heart was racing. I Grabbed 7 pieces and ran to the dressing room with about 5 of my 15 minutes left to spare. I fell in love with 2, a tribal top and a polka dot dress. Got in line bought my items and got the hell outta there,with a slight headache. On my drive home, I looked over at my H&M bag and envisioned myself on vacation in these super cute clothes. Thanks H&M!!!! Until next time………rumor has it a HUGE designer collaboration is up next ….. like Tom Ford huge;)
Here are some pics from my adventure today.

Rock the Rainbow (Wearable colored denim)
5 MarColored denim can be wearable and stylish. Denim in a variety of rainbow hues, can add a playful punch to your look. This colored denim looks best in fitted styles, skinny & cigarette being the most flattering. You want them fitted but still comfortable, A little stretch always helps as well. Colored denim looks great when color blocked with another bright colored top or if you want to downplay the color, you can pair these jeans with a white, black or neutral top. I love nude heels and wedges with this look, leaving all attention on the bright pant. Here are some styles to shop so you can step out in Spring color!

Top 10 Wardrobe Essentials!
1 MarEvery closet should include some essentials, or carryover pieces to build your wardrobe around. Trends are great but the goal is to have great pieces that will live in your closet longer than one season. Carryover pieces should be classic,versatile and great quality(Don’t hesitate spending good money on these pieces, you’ll have them for years to come) FACT: A lot of carryover pieces are black. Black is flattering on all, impossible to see stains on,and will match most anything. Here are my personal can’t live without wardrobe essentials.
- LBD(little black dress)
- Leggings preferably black or navy
- Black Blazer
- Classic white shirt ( a T shirt or a button up)
- Great fitting pair of jeans(you may have to try on 50)
- Black pump
- Nude heel
- Cardigan(black,white,neutral)
- Day dress(light & flowy)
- Flat boots/riding boots.
Ok I’m not done yet: 3 bonus accessory essentials I love are Diamond studs, a black handbag and a colorful scarf. No matter where you fall into the sartorial spectrum, adding trendy pieces to your basics makes life easy when your deciding what to wear, while keeping your closet functional.
