Off the Rack: H&M Holiday 2011 Collection




In case you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed yesterday that I stopped by the H&M showroom in NYC for the very first time to see what's new. I got to preview the Spring 2012 looks, which I will be sharing with you all shortly, but first, let's take a look at some of the highlights from the Holiday 2011 collection, ie., fashions you can shop right now! From a classic black and champagne color palette to bright gemstone hues, there was something for everyone and every occasion, whether it's a leather pencil skirt for the office holiday party or a slinky tassle-draped cocktail dress for a more formal fête. Keep reading for some of my favorite pieces that will probably make you swoon, like copper bow-embellished platform heels, a glamorous gold envelope clutch or the ombre sequin mini shown above which has New Year's Eve written all over it.

What I'm Wearing: Lands' End Canvas Mariner Sweater




Lands' End Canvas sent me this amazing Mariner Scrunch Neck Sweater a couple weeks ago and I've been wearing it practically every day since, no joke. It's just so warm and cozy and easy to wear. Anyways I finally remembered to grab my camera for a little outfit "photo shoot" but when Mr. BB starting shooting, my camera battery died and that was that - oops. At least we managed to get one shot! This is but one of many reasons why I could never be a personal style blogger. But what I can tell you is that Lands' End Canvas is such a gem for stylish winter clothing. The quality is great, they have sweaters that are actually warm (look for wool blends) and they have low prices and even better sale prices.

My exact sweater comes in three chic color combos for $34.99 (down from $59.50) and you can click the image below to shop this and other styles.
