Isabel Marant for H&M: She makes clothes that girls WANT to wear

I have yet to buy anything from H&M's designer collections. Maybe it's the hype, or the frenzy it strikes, but something about mass shopping crazes really puts me off shopping. I'd love to be able to find a piece that fits me that I wouldn't regret buying, but it just hasn't happened yet. I even shopped the sale racks for MMM x H&M, and despite availability, I wasn't tempted.  Hopefully, this next collaboration with Isabel Marant will be a real winner. If H&M could bring e-commerce to Canada in time for November, it would take so much stress out of shopping! The only stress you'd get would be from sweaty hands on your credit card.

The first look from the collection popped up today, and I'm feeling kinda "meh" on this tunic. Marant's not about wow factor though, she's more about sensual-chic. You wouldn't know it by her Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages but, Marant's got major influence in fashion at least at a retailer level. "She makes clothes that girls want to wear" said Style.com's Nicole Phelps. 

Kirna Zabête for Nine West

Kirna Zabete Bandeau Ostrich shoes $129.00USD

I am a shoe fiend. I really don't know where to put them all. When I found out that these feathered shoes from Kirna Zabête were going to be happening, I knew I had to get my hands on them. (Street style photogs at Toronto Fashion Week, you will not be able to deny me!) There's definitely a WHAT factor about them, if not a little boudoir. I actually set an alarm on my phone to remind me to get on to the Kirna Zabête website this morning to beat the pack, and it paid off! Canadian shoppers can get a hold of this collection at www.kirnazabete.com
