Yvan Rodic of FaceHunter shot these fantastic pictures for Topshop’s new collection called ‘Dress Up’. The line contains a collection of fun and sexy statement dresses, great for parties. Topshop’s also doing a competition to win a dress, every month, for a year. I’m absolutely loving the entire outfit on the second picture! In general I occasionally think sequins are a bit done by now, but the rainbow coloring definitely works.

Drooling……drooling…………drooling over all of these beauties…………. Love the fifties cut of the dresses, love the platforms, love the leopard…… All items: topshop.com.

The womenswear and accessories for the Lanvin for H&M collection launching tomorrow at 08:00AM. I am madly in love with that tule fifties ballerina dress! Madly! Might order it, to see the quality… and see if it’s worth it’s €199… Why that much! Or maybe I’ll draw a pattern of it… haha. No Renée, stop it, that’s just your fifties craze.. It IS too expensive. The red shoes, black shades and long brown furry coat are also good…. Not to forget about the coral red earrings and necklace. Which are your favorites?

And how do you feel about designers collaborating with retail brands like H&M? Don’t you think the prices overall are still a bit high? Personally I think that even though it’s a collaboration between H&M and Lanvin, it still has an H&M tag on the inside…

Last night we celebrated the opening of the ILV Atelierboutique, and were so glad to have everything finished on time! The shots above might look a bit empty, but they’re mostly taken before and after. Thanks everyone for coming! It was nice to finally meet again, and meet some new people. I’m wearing my new Tinroof Vintage sheer ruffle dress, new Topshop heart tights, the usual Wedins boots and random silver rings.
