If you’re like some of us, you probably logged off of your computer just a hair too early Monday night and missed Oscar de la Renta’s Pre-Fall 2013 runway show! If you’re also like some of us, you’re kicking yourself. But no worries, not only do we have the collection of looks, we also found the runway show in its entirety (oh, bless you Youtube).

After taking a look at the collection, we quickly fell in love with the designers assortment of structured pieces and whimsical pastel colors. Almost every woman’s style is somewhere hidden inside this line– from the high powered fashion moguls headed to a super important meeting, to the artists on the rise in need of a style savvy outfit for their next gallery exhibition. The gamut of stylish go-to girls is encompassed in this fun, fresh collection. If we could just get our hands on those printed high-waisted pants, or that green crocheted cardigan we too could be suited in fabulous Oscar de la Renta style… and life would be complete.

Take a look at the collection along with the full runway show!

As you all know menswear isn’t necessarily our forte, but I’m pretty sure you won’t mind this exception. Since it’s debut in 2011 David Beckham Bodywear for H&M is going strong, now on its third collection of under garments and sleepwear.  The soccer player turned spokes model posted images of the line on his Facebook page yesterday with the caption, “Thought you’d like to see some of my new H&M Holiday campaign shot.” Gosh, how did he know? The new holiday campaign features t-shirts, lounge shorts, towels, and a pant-less David Beckham. Scroll slowly.

 

Whew. Now check out the behind the scenes video of the campaign shoot. That’s right– David Beckham. Scantly clad. In motion. TGIF.

We’ve been talking fashion collabs all week! First Maison Martin Margiela for H&M, then designers partnering with Harrods department store for Disney princess designs, and now news of Prabal Gurung for Target has surfaced. Don’t you love this cozy, collaborative, “can’t we all just get along” side of fashion? Aside from the perceived disconnect with mainstream chains and high-fashion, the designer/mega store dynamic is definitely a “thing”… we’re feeling it.

Prabal Gurung has dressed some of the worlds most fabulous women and now the Singapore-born New York designer will be bringing his figure flattering, sexy and wearable pieces to Target. This isn’t the international superstores first partnership, riding on the coattails of a recent Jason Wu collab and an upcoming Neiman Marcus collection (launching Dec. 1st) that will feature 24 designers including Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, and Tracy Reese. Of the brief partnership Gurung says, “The reason I wanted to do this collaboration with Target was to offer what I do to a wider audience.”

Prabal Gurung for Target 2013

The Prabal Gurung 80-piece collection will include clothes (ranging from $20 to $200), shoes, accessories, and jewelry (from $13 to $40) in both stores and on Target.com. It debuts on February 10th and will most likely be swept up within hours. We’re predicting a lot of bold colors and prints strolling around next Valentines Day.

Check out a sneak peek of the collection and Gurung’s thoughts on his upcoming designs and his love driven aesthetic.

True to form Chanel recently paid tribute to photographer Erwin Blumenfeld in an artistic I Love CHANEL short film.  The new additions to the Rouge Allure line are gorgeous and it helps that there are a ton of shades to choose from. The video was posted to Chanel’s Facebook page this morning and has definitely sent me on the hunt for the perfect red lip.

A lot of big decisions go in to prom. The dress, the limo, the shoes….. and the date! With the Moonlight prom range at MissesDressy the dress is covered with a selection of form fitting and expertly tailored gowns. Features of the ranges are exquisite draping and extremely feminine cuts with exposed backs and luxurious fabrics. The profile picture above shows three of our personal favorites; this coral backless gown with beading detailing along the straps. The beautiful draping reminds you of a train on a wedding gown and would be as at home on the red carpet as at your prom. With similar cuts we also love this purple and pink backless gown with overstated train and this cherry piece with added bling and simply divine draping.
 
And with their look book the lovely people at Moonlight have you covered for date suggestions too! Try to keep your eyes on the dresses ladies, male model not included!
