Flare- February 2013

oh, dear, outfit posts

The outfit posts start...NOW! Outfit/personal style blogs are the best because no two are the same. Everyone has a unique spin on stuff, even if they like the same pieces. So, I have decided to do Outfit of the Day posts.

Just as a bit of a disclaimer: I am not a photographer, I do not know what I'm doing, and I do not own nice photo equipment. I know nothing about Photoshop. All I have are clothes I love and an iPhone. So, here goes!

Fisherman sweater: Urban Outfitters 

Acid jeans: H&M

Platform Sandals: Urban Outfitters

Vintage necklace: Chanel

Ring: Kate Spade

lanvin + h&m

As if it's hard enough that Omaha doesn't have an H&M. Now H&M is collaborating with high-end Paris fashion house Lanvin for one of the most anticipated sartorial marriages of the year. The results were an incredible fashion show, a killer lookbook that virtually every blog has featured and fashion lover has drooled over, and an uber-stylish launch party. The queen of minimal chic, Sofia Coppola, was divine in a fur coat while my favorite look was Susie "Bubble" Lau's striped ribbon dress topped off with her signature bun.

And the absolute best part? The runway looks. Seriously, I need to hop a plane or drive to a nearby H&M (Chicago, Minnesota, St. Louis). These were so inspirational and over-the-top, exceeding my expectations. If I can't own anything, I definitely plan on copying the outfits with my own pieces. And with all of the leopard, floral, and black, it shouldn't be too difficult.
