Last night, models and celebrities gathered in Paris to celebrate the launch of Sonia Rykiel pour H&M. The Grand Palais, one of the city’s most famous buildings, was transformed into a Parisian fantasy land for around 2,000 guests, who were given a preview of the Sonia Rykiel pour H&M lingerie collection, which debuts in around 1,500 H&M stores worldwide from December 5, as well as the knitwear collection for women and girls, which arrives in around 200 stores on February 20, 2010.

Rather than tease you with footage from the launch party, keep reading to see 21 looks from the collection that you purchase for yourself. I think I know what I'll be treating myself to this Christmas! While I wasn't impressed with the ad campaigns, seeing these individual pieces has me excited. There are some truly beautiful items, like the silk kimono and satin bustier, and the prices are just right. Will you be shopping this collection?

On Cyber Monday, I was interviewed by MyFoxDetroit Fox 2 News WJBK via satellite from New York City to share advice on getting the best online deals for the holidays. Mind you, I had never been in front of a camera before that morning (when I actually ended up recording a whole slew of radio and TV interviews all in one shot—more on that later). To say I was nervous would be an understatement, but everyone I worked with was so professional and kind, it really put my mind at ease and allowed me to focus on my message and, dare I say, have fun. Thank you, Fox Detroit!
