Lusting Marni

 

I would be lying if I said before the H&M collaboration last spring, I wasn't majorly aware of Marni.

Though after seeing this seasons collection it would hard not to be aware of them, let alone want all of it.

I've seen snippets of the collection in Selfridges, and ogled the website, hoping a money tree quickly appears.

 

Embellished T-shirts

Easy Wear Shorts

The geo prints are to die for and so easy to wear. The shapes of shorts aren't made for Barbie dolls with perfect pins, but real women. And don't get me started on the T-shirts with embellished necklines. To top it off Mollie King offa The Saturdays, was pictured wearing a beautiful Marni outfit at last nights InStyle awards.

All though my bank balance can't stretch to the £430 for a T-shirt, there seems to be lots of high street Marni inspired pieces.

ASOS have these brilliant Geo print easy tailored shorts, which would look great with a plain tee, and added oversized necklace, to get that Marni look.

Finally, if you didn't get your hands on any of the H&M Marni collaboration last spring. H&M have a very similar necklace to the one which sold out, in stores now. What do you think of the casual laid back Marni look? Will you be searching the high streets for your Marni alternative?

 

What's been going on....

I've shown Abigail's Party a little but of a cold shoulder recently. End of year deadlines piled on top of me, as well as end of term fun. But here's a little round up of what I've been up to the last few weeks...

 I'm extremely excited to return home for Christmas. Even the Christmas Eve drive, is making me giddy. I've managed to finish all my present buying early, and now looking forward to grabbing some bargains in the sales.

Anna Dello Russo for H&M

It seems this may be the year for high street collaborations. I am already eagerly awaiting Friday for JW Anderson for Topshop as mentioned here. But now pictures have emerged for what could be the glitzyest collab yet. Anna Dello Russo for H&M.

I always love the H&M collabs, so well thought of and organised when you arrive at the store, and they never fail to excite me. And this one seems no different.For those who don`t  know Anna Dello Russo is Vogue Japans Editor at Large, and is seen at every fashion week looking nothing but fabulous. Known for being at the for front of fashion and always being top of her game when it comes to accessorizing, its no wonder H&M have snapped her up.

The collaboration hits stores October 4th, which lucky for me is payday. The images which I have collected from Vogue seem to show a strong theme of Gold and Turquoise, which quite honestly looks beautiful. Every piece shows some part of Anna Dello Russo`s style, which what I feel makes the collection so great and lust worthy.

All though I`m not huge on jewellery, I plan to pick up a few pieces. I love the suitcase collection which includes a cute vanity bag, I think this may be a must for me. The earrings  from this collection, are easy to wear and fit perfectly in with this seasons trends of chandelier earrings. I also have my eye on the clutch featured in the campaign image. Though I reckon this piece may be flying off the shelf. Finally, I think it would be wrong to not try get hold of a pair of sunglasses, with them being Annas signature style piece and absolutely gorgeous they are a perfect piece to show you`ve been a part of this collection. Looks like it will be another early start, and elbows at the ready come October 4th.
