Exclusive Summer Capsule Collection Presented by Lucky Magazine and HSN


Exclusive Summer Capsule Collection Presented by Lucky Magazine

Lately it seems like every designer on the planet is teaming up with a home shopping network to create a diffusion line, and now Lucky Magazine has teamed up with HSN (Home Shopping Network) to present a capsule collection of fashions from some of these designers, which you can shop today via Facebook (fan Lucky Mag or HSN, then click on the Pop Up Shop tab).

The designers include F+C (by Foley + Corinna); Thread (by Thread Social); La Victoire (by Pour La Victoire footwear); Pade Vavra (nature-inspired jewelry) and Gerard Yosca (statement-making costume jewelry).

You know I love the idea of affordable collabs, and I like the novelty of a Facebook pop-up shop, but I still think both HSN and QVC are overpriced, despite their growing popularity. What do you think, are you ready to drop $250 on a Lucky Magazine-approved F+C bag from HSN? Am I being too cheap?
