Lanvin for H&M

Today I saw the first pictures of Lanvin's collection for H&M. Like alot of girls I was looking forward to the grand unveiling of this collection not only because of all the hype that has been created around it but because I am a true fan of Lanvin and their bow tied creative director, Alber Elbaz.
There is defo some pieces worth wanting in there (although the shoes are truly awful) but the price point is quite high with dresses starting at £99.99 and I can't help but wonder if I would be going crazy for these pieces if I saw them in H&M normally... Having said that I will probably be queuing in Oxford Circus on the 23rd November, i've got to try these dresses on before I dismiss this collection.

Interesting twist on the black dress. This dress looked amazing in the advert for the collection staring super model Natasha Poly.

At £149.99 this dress is tres pricey for H&M but not a stitch (price wise) on the Lanvin dress which inspired it. I do love a bit of yellow although i would probably prefer to sport this dress with a more structured belt, these elastic belts offer little support and can be unforgiving on tubbier tummies.

This is probably my favorite dress in the whole collection. It looks like it costs loads of money and has a Vivienne Westwood feel too it. I heart silk tafetta!  

High waisted, tiered, lace= my perfect skirt. Can't wait to wear this with a black shear peter pan collared shirt from American Apparel, ankle socks and...

These wooden healed boots from Urban Outfitters, £85

Or could team the skirt with this top, the more I look at the collection the more I like it. It's a grower.

The best of a bad lot- Sorry Alber, i'm really not a fan of the shoes.

Tights

These are some of the most interesting tights I have ever seen!

By Bebaroque, £80- Although these tights are lovely I think the wearer has to be very careful about what they put them with, they could so easily make a black outfit gothic or a colourful ensemble look like costume.

Tights with pearl and diamante applique, £110 by Bebaroque.

These tights wouldn't be at all out of place in Gwen Stefani's 'What you Waiting For' video. They would look amazing with an all Vivienne Westwood outfit (as sported here by Gwen), teamed with...

Black, python Christian Louboutin 'Bloody Mary' shoes. 

Tights available from Urban Outfitters and Liberty's.

Pirate Boots

I can't help but find Vivienne Westwood's pirate boots slightly appealing. In the north pirate boots are abundant and have become the moniker of 'would be trendies' and 'try hards' who go to Vivienne Westwood in their droves to buy style (think David from last years Big Brother).

However the pirate boot is quintessentially classic. Westwood has been making them forever under the Gold Label and they are kind of perfect; they go with dresses, shorts, skirts, look fine when they've been worn to death, are super comfy (or so i've been told, most Vivienne Westwood footwear is) and can be worn all year round.

I don't know, now I no longer live in the north I think it would be okay for me to own a pair but NEVER admit to it when in mixed company.
