Kate Bosworth at the Burberry Prorsum Fall '12 show - source: vogue.fr
Whooo-who's got the cutest sweater in town? You do, you do. Sure, you can wear it with your skinnies (yawn), but I love it most of all when worn à la Burberry Prorsum - pair it with a chic tweed pencil skirt (or pants), a cute cropped jacket, a pretty bow belt and little ankle booties.
Pick up your Softest Printed Crew Sweater (only $32.94) now at Old Navy (also comes in fox and sheep print if you can stand it)
PS - Perfect timing alert - Go to Old Navy, Gap or Banana Republic and get 30% off your purchase (online only) w code CAGIFT30. Sale ends tomorrow!
Part of Banana Republic's Anna Karenina Collection, these kid suede t-strap pumps are so sophisticated, so subtly sexy, that I really can't possibly say no. I know the word is overused but: OBSESSED.
Check out the whole collection, including my soon-to-be Kieley Pump ($128) at Banana Republic.

Okay, so here's the thing. On occasion, I'll go to an art installation, a book reading or a modern dance performance. Sometimes, I totally get it; I can appreciate the beauty and understand the message the artist is trying to convey. Other times, I'll be like 'huh.' My bottom lip sticks out just slightly, I nod my head twice and then cock it slightly to the side with a simultaneous brow furrow/index finger to lips as I attempt to look reflective, all the while wondering what I'm missing. That's kind of how I feel about Maison Martin Margiela. Part of it I totally get: the sequined pieces, the oversized peacoat, the plexi wedge heels. Love. Love. Love. (see the gallery below for the pieces I want).
But then there's the other stuff. Acid wash denim-on-denim. Skirt/harem pant/asymmetrical jumpsuit. Trompe l'oeil dresses. Models whom you'd likely avoid if encountered on a deserted Parisian rue. 'Huh'. Bottom lip out. Nod head twice. Cock head to side/furrow brow/index finger to lips.
As I mentioned on this site back in June, venerable French fashion house Maison Martin Margiela has joined forces with H&M for an exclusive collaboration, available in select stores worldwide in a few weeks. "With these Maison Martin Margiela re-editions, some of the most important garments in recent fashion history will be made available at H&M. The pieces are incredibly accurate to the original, and prove how the most radical concept can result in fashion that is both desirable and wearable." Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor to H&M.
Mark your calendars: The Maison Martin Margiela with H&M Collection ranges between $17.95 - $399 and is out in select stores worldwide Nov 15th! Do you like? Love? Or does it all just make you go 'hmm...'?
PS - Will post my World Mastercard Fashion Week pics tomorrow. So many great shows this year x
Remember those crazy cool headpieces worn by Madge, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A at the Super Bowl? The jewel-encrusted beauties were the work of Erickson Beamon, the go-to jeweler for A-listers everywhere, including Reese Witherspoon, Beyonce, Michelle Obama and even Lady Gaga. I've always loved the brand's vintage meets rockstar designs, so I'm beyond excited about the new partnership w Club Monaco. Since we're currently on a strict household budget (and I feel guilty even thinking in robin's egg blue), this ring is totally going on my Christmas wish list this year. The ring, necklace and earrings range between $130 and $225 and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your upcoming holiday fêtes. Love!
Add them to your list, or, if you just can't wait, treat yourself now at Club Monaco
