Versace for H&M

Versace is the brand that shouts beauty, sexiness, style, class, sophistication, drama, glamour, and rock and roll. It is always associated with that. Versace is a luxury brand that caters to the upper market so not everyone can experience what it is to wear such brand. Thank God, Donatella Versace has finally said yes to creating a capsule collection in collaboration with the retail giant H&M. In this case, Versace will be available for everyone to enjoy!

Watch the video for Donatella Versace's message on the collection.  The collection will be launched on November 17, 2011 worldwide. Thank God I'm here in Singapore, I could purchase some pieces for myself, my sister, and my favorite cousin (since they've been very supportive of my plans so I think I'm gonna have to treat them), because we don't have it in the Philippines. I really hope that H&M will also be available to Manila (at least).  Anyway, here are the photos of the collection.  Photo credits to NYMag.com and Fashionologie.

I was really happy to see the entire collection on the internet. I initially saw it on Elle Singapore November 2011 issue but they only feature some of the items due to limited space. The moment I saw it online, I was really amazed by the entire collection. Versace never fail to inject the glamour factor in each piece. Here are my favorite pieces from the collection:

I can really imagine the leather studded dress going perfect paired with the high boots plus the rich fuschia and gold bag and some cocktail rings here and there. It's the perfect outfit for a night out with the girls or a date with your special someone. The sparkly dress, however, is perfect for clubbing. This can be paired with the Versace bangle (I recommend placing two bangles in one hand for a maximum glamour effect) and high heels of course. I love print so the printed pants is one of the most favorite piece in the collection. I really can't wait for them to appear on the racks of H&M. I'm sure every fashionista will go craaaazzzyyy!!! What about you? What are your fave pieces? Happy Monday loves! Xx

First Purchases at Singapore

October 2011
Singapore

I was so amazed by the city. Singapore is a huge tourist attraction. And with all the wide array of shopping choices, any fashionista will go crazy!! I've been controlling myself from splurging for weeks but I just can't say no to the inviting shops along Orchard especially the giant H&M store.  So, here are my first purchases: 

I bought a flowy sheer turquoise top, long horn necklace, cocktail stone ring, and gold hoop earrings from H&M. I love this top since you can dress it up or down depending on your mood. I can see it fabulously paired with ultra short shorts when you want to go to the beach. It can be a pretty bikini cover up too. You can also wear it to a party by pairing it with your tightest skinny jeans and highest black heels and some sparkly gold accessories. Complete the look with smokey eyes, pale lips and dewy skin and you're good to go! I have also purchased a romper from Cotton On. You can check out my blog post on that by clicking here.

I also purchased makeup from Sephora and Mac. I was concerned with my uneven skintone so I thought I had to purchase a new foundation that matches my new skin color (I got darker when I came here maybe because of all the walking we did during daytime). To match that, I purchased a lip tube from Mac. This is by far my favorite lip color: Pink Noveau! It really looks pretty with smokey eyes. I can't get enough of it, I use it everyday!

Recently, I also purchased my first fashion magazine in Singapore: Elle Singapore. I haven't read the entire issue yet, I just browsed through it since I can't find time yet to read it from cover to cover but I must say that it is really interesting. Plus it features some of the pieces from Versace for H&M collection which will come out on November 17. Can't wait!! The November issue comes with a free pouch that I use to store my body oil, moisturizer, and all the other bath and body essentials.

You know how much I adore fashion and I am really really looking forward to this collaboration. Versace is a name that connotes style, class, glamour, and sophistication. So I am so happy that Donatella Versace finally said yes to H&M's invitation for a collaboration for capsule collection. I will make a blog post on the entire collection tomorrow. Please do visit my blog again for you to see. :)

I saw these cheap but ultra fab clear cases wherein you can store your accessories, makeup and all the other essentials inside. It's only SGD 2 for each clear box. You can purchase it too on your local hardware stores. It really helped me organize my things here.  On other note, my two friends have already purchased their iPhone 4S. Here it is:  I'm thinking of purchasing the same model, that or a BB Bold since I'm not a techy person. But I think I NEED to replace my phone. Haha! So I'm contemplating between the two.

Anyway, I'm so excited for the coming week since I already have planned out the things to do for the entire week. And I can't wait to take outfit shots for my next blog posts. Have a great week ahead loves! Xx
