Purchase

Haul: Zara and Forever 21

Zara had one of their annual sales and I really wanted to purchase this leaf blazer I’ve been eyeing out. After walking around the store digging for gems I picked up a hefty stack of clothes. Luckily I managed to only pick two great items that were out of my comfort zone: the leaf blazer and a beautiful orange dress. I thought these two pieces were perfect to bring some color into my wardrobe.

I also picked up a pair of leopard slip on sneakers from Forever 21. These leopard slip on sneakers are really trendy right now and look amazing with boyfriend jeans and all black looks, so it definitely was an item I wanted to purchase. I was eyeing the ones at Steve Madden, but I didn’t want to pay the price when there are tons of cheap dupes. I’m pretty satisfied with them, since they’re temporary I don’t really mind some of the “cheap” qualities that came with the price.

Banana Republic L’Wren Scott Holiday 2013

Happy Monday Dolls!

We all know how much I love collaborations. As said before, I think it’s amazing when luxury brands team up with huge retailers to give consumers that luxury piece at an affordable price. L’Wren Scott’s first collaboration is with Banana Republic. We have known of this collabo since the summer, but finally it’s almost here. This holiday collection will be available on December 5th, which is perfect for preparing gifts or snagging a chic outfit for those holiday parties.

Instead of imagining what’s in store, the lookbook has leaked (sucks, but yay for us!). The collection consists of garments in bold jewel tones, chic patterns, sequence, and faux fur. All of these things are definitely in for the fall and are perfect for the holiday season. The collection will consist of over 50 pieces that are class L’Wren Scott designs.  Here’s a photo to show what the collection will look like.

Personally as a college student, I haven’t been able to afford L’Wren Scott designs. However, many die-hard fans say that the tailoring of the clothes are perfect and have ultra-flattering cuts. In that case I cannot wait to see the pieces in person. I’m sure they’ll live up to the L’Wren Scott brand’s standards. The prices of the apparel range from $39.50 to $165 and the accessories ranges from $39.50 to $198. I cannot wait to see the rest of the collection in person. I’m sure every piece will be worth the money and those that are higher priced will be worth it.

Will you go out and snag yourself some Banana Republic L’Wren Scott? If you decide to, you better get it before it’s sold out!

Best, Jair xx
