The Birds and the Bees.. MAGIC

Good morning people. It's finally Friday and I can't wait to catch up on so major needed sleep, laziness and probably lots and lots of DVDs. I am getting old. I can't neither party as much as I used to, nor as often. So I decided to no longer fight it, and just give in to my body's needs. (I'm considerate that way... what??? I am.. honest.. sorta.. oh leave me alone..).
Haven't really been updated with the fashion world, or the random world, or any world for that matter, and that's because I've been living in my own little bubble.. mentally... and in the real world I'm just working and working.. and working some more. So now that I'm trying to get back on track, I wanted to share something with you. Won't get into details, but you know the stories of the birds and the bees? Well my little darlings, the fashion world has gotten familiar with it too. When designers, bloggers, singers, celebrities and big fashion brands come together, fireworks, magic and champagne bottles are the result. What am I talking about? Simple. Some pretty darn impressive collaborations. Here are a few of my faves.

• Jewellery brand DANNIJO and internet celebrity and blogger Rumi Neely.
  I'm already coveting a few things especially the double ring. I'm in love...



• Swarovski and Karl Lagerfeld.
  Actually Swarovski is collaborating with more than one designer, I chose to ignore the others :) (I'm biased that way.. sue me). So since cuffs are big this season here's one to love. ($335)

• Beyonce, Temptu and Deréon
  Beyonce and Temptu worked on temporary tattoos for a shoot for Deréon. They turned out so beautifully that they decided to sell them. So I say, So long pretty dainty Chanel chains and pearls.. Hello dark and bold bolts, jewels, spiders and chains.

• Lanvin for H&M
  I like to save the best for last, and I'm telling you Lanvin and H&M in the same sentence? That's music to my ears. The collection hits stores November 23rd. Not sure about Beirut though, even though the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection was released her.. Oh well.. Fingers crossed people. Check out the entire collection here and weep. And check out the video.

That's all for now.. I'm sure there are many collaborations, but it's almost 11, I'm on 4 hours of sleep and I actually have work to do. Thank God it's Friday. And because I heart you all I am going to share one of my new song obsessions, Kanye's Runaway.

Hibernating soon,
Bambi

Shopping May-hem

This blogging world is going to leave me jobless.. I spend hours every day reading blogs, from fashion, to lifestyle, to random mumbo-jumbo (kinda like my random mumbo jumbo) and even cooking blogs (they're quite inspirational actually). And I made a list of things I want to get badly as a result of my not-so-spare time at work.


Item 1: I honestly can't find a nice denim jacket. Don't get me wrong they're everywhere but I can't find one that just jumps at me.


Item 2: Isn't this 23-karat gold-plated ring set from Maison Martin Margiela just divine? The website is pretty cool too.


Item 3: I want a nice striped Breton top. I think I'll find one at Zara or H&M.


Item 4: Still obsessing over the Alexa Satchel from Mulberry.


Item 5: And I'm telling you this is the most coveted item at the moment. Everyone's wearing it, and I still want it. You can find this Miu Miu inspired dress at Zara.


Item 6: Oh my, these sunnies are amazing. The thing about Ray Ban is that, they suit all face shapes.. Well most face shapes. And they're quite affordable. Next time you see me out and about, I will be wearing these really funky passe partout Cat sunnies.


Item 7: The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook. I won't be buying this. I'll be stealing it off Milky Way. It's nice to have a friend who enjoys making and eating desserts as much as I do.

Guess what I'll be doing this weekend..
