H&M x Lanvin - Pieces I'm Peepin'
This is bad. Ohhhhh, it's bad. This is my very narrowed down list of "must haves" after thoroughly perusing the recently released capsule collection more than a few times. In fact, I've actually gone through and justified each piece in this post so that it actually kind of makes perfect sense to get each of them.

The ruffled cream skirt, the leather gloves and bold red necklace? Statement pieces at reasonable prices are a no brainer. That yellow dress would be perfect for a graduation event come April (and is Spring 09 all over again but in a bright colour!). The ruffly indigo number is just begging to be worn at a Christmas party with silver toned jewels, and of course the black zebra trench would be the ideal overcoat for both. The asymmetrical shouldered violet dress is a bit simple, yes... but that exaggerated sleeve and tulip skirt totally set it apart enough to be worth it. And pointy toed red pumps with a matching ankle sash-- need I even begin??But alas... I am but a practical soul (or so I would like to think) and it is simply not within my means to get a hold of everything. So if I could only have one? Sorry girls, but you guessed it: the yellow dress that you all saw and decided you must have-- it arrived at the top of my list too. Oh, and I guess the affordable pieces can be there as well... since they are, you know, affordable.

And maybe the trench. No, definitely the trench. Ahhh!!!

(side note: I am curious to see what/how the materials are though. Are the dresses silks or poly? At that price you would think they would be the former but I'm suspecting they will be the latter, especially since Alber Elbaz has worked with polyester before...)

Which are your favourite pieces? Are you going to be lining up? What time are you going? I want to know!
