Big news dropped this weekend: H&M announced that their next designer collaboration will be with New York designer Alexander Wang!! The collection will feature apparel and accessories for both men and women, and will hit around 250 stores worldwide and online November 6th, 2014. I hope there's a bag in the H&M collection that pays homage to the iconic "Rocco" bag - and if there is, it will go lightning fast and be incredibly hard to resist. I often see things at H&M that feel inspired by Alexander Wang already, which leads me to believe that some of Wang's signature elements - edgy jackets, drapey jersey tees and rounded shoulders - will translate well to this budget-fashion line. No doubt about it, the fashion world will go wild for this collab. Will you?

Yesterday I headed to Kohl's in the afternoon to check out the launch of the St. Barths-inspired Peter Som for DesigNation collection. I've already professed my admiration for this line, and have received press samples from Kohl's PR as well, so there were no surprises. As you entered the store, there was a Peter Som display showcasing some of the looks, which was a nice touch albeit a quiet one. I had no competition browsing the racks, and everything was still available in all sizes. Plus the collection was already on sale - 25% off! And you could save an additional 15, 20 or 30% off with your Kohl's charge and coupon (mine came in the mail; I believe they also send these via email if you sign up).
