Marni 4 H&M...

Yes, that time has come. Marni has now launched its H&M collection! Ahead of its official launch, Marni recruited famous faces like Drew Barrymore, Mila Jovovich and Jessica Chastain to model the new H&M collection at an event in Hollywood a couple days ago.

The collection shows off what Marni does best. The incredible textures, colours and patterns encompass the elegance of the womenswear, menswear and accessories line.

Have a squiz at some of my favourite pieces in the Marni for H&M lookbook...

Love in Paris...

It was all about coats at the Celine Fall 2012 RTW show in Paris. The beautifully tailored coats stopped just after the knee to expose 80's inspired pants. Zips and stripes were the trend on bottom, while simple warm jumpers and leather pieces took control on top. Check it out for yourself...

breaking the piggy bank...

Ever go through a short period of time where you're constantly buying new pieces to add to your wardrobe? Well, imagine this on a continuous basis...welcome to me life! In my defence, I do love a good bargain! I look for the sales and search endless vintage racks until I find a diamond in the rough. Below are some of my very recent purchases...

 These delicious numbers are from Mosman's ZOMP store. A casual roam around the shops (with coffee in hand) led to a small purchase. Yes, I do mean small! On sale these babies only set me back $65...I couldn't believe it either!

A Sunday spent at Avoca markets led me to Oh Deer Vintage. I found this classy top for $15! Can you say dirt cheap?

A Wednesday delight from ASOS arrived in the early afternoon. Didn't I find some beauties on sale, or what?

First of all, sorry about the sideways shot (but, what are you going to do, right?). Secondly, I'm so in love with my new Topshop sleeveless leather collared jacket that if you tried to take it from me, you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands (yes, I'm dead serious!). It's a great throw-over number. Thirdly, this is not my room. I hijacked my nonna's guest room for the photo.

There you have it...less than one weeks worth of purchases. Not too shabby if I do say so myself!
