TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ LANVIN X H&M LAUNCH

So, by now everyone has heard that the great Alber Elbaz has agreed to do a capsule collection for H&M. And everyone is going into deep frenzy over it, I'm sure. But I don't know how to feel about it. These little collections don't really get me into the stores, because, frankly, it's not the real deal. It's H&M. That said, I imagine what Monsieur Elbaz has planned is going to be amazing with a little of his cheekiness tucked into the seams. I'll eat my words if I have to. I was excited, though, when I got a mysterious package in the mail. (It looks like a chocolate box.) I've been off the scene, kind of, for a while...meaning, I left all the magazines I was writing/editing for to work on a novel and do some art directing for Nike and some other brands. So it was nice to get this mystery package. It felt like I was back. (I am back.) In it is the invite for the launch of the Lanvin for H&M collection at a new H&M flagship store in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace. A special discount is also included, but does not apply to the Lanvin pieces, of course. And underneath the invitation is a HUGE red flower pin...perhaps a sneak peak into the collection? I wonder. I'll def let you know if I make it to Vegas...♡

POST SCRIPT...SEE THIS JUST IN** AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!

such a cute box. believe me...when i took it out of the envelope, i was STOKED. really well done.

the invite. looks cool. sounds fun. if i get to vegas it will be. though, it's non-transferable, of course, and it only admits one. no plus ones. not sure i'll drive out alone. hmmm.

underneath the invite...a huge huge disheveled flower pin. it's huge. like bigger than my face.

MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ TUTORIALS TUTORIALS

I found these tutorials by accident and, compared to a lot of the video tutorials that are overproduced and have loud loud talking, no pretty faces, superfluous information, bad graphics, terrible music, these were really lovely. And the makeup is excellent. LOVE IT. I was only going to show the Sophia Loren makeup look because I think it looks a lot like the Italian Vogue vixen spread I posted something about a while ago which was GORGEOUS. But then I got hooked looking at some of the others that I thought were very very Nancy Girl...Edie Sedgwick makeup (esp the eyeliner), Debbie Harry (from Blondie) and of course Brigitte Bardot. These are all on Youtube under Pixiwoo. Woohoo!♡

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ PULP STILL RULES

I love PULP and I plan on writing a screenplay that is soundtracked with Jarvis Cocker songs because he's a genius. I know the song above isn't rare...but the video is really nice. And the song below is gorgeous. Happy Sunday, luvs...♡

SATURDAY SHOPPING ♥ THE CÉLINE CABAS

I think it's pretty fun and funny that everyone lately has been doing mock bags of real every day normal plastic or cloth bags that you might use at the farmers' market or in Chinatown somewhere. This one, by Céline, is quite chic, though. It's not cheeky or cartoon like most of the bags I showcase on here. It's simple, but nice. I mean, a shearling Céline shopping bag? You def know if you saw someone holding one, you'd look twice. The bags are very Phoebe Philo. Simple and to the point and somehow there's youth stitched in there somewhere. They're available as of this last week. Get shopping...♡
