Anna Dello Russo for H&M

I’m very excited for the latest H&M collaboration with one of my personal favorite style icons–Anna Dello Russo! On October 4th, you’ll be able to shop her exclusive accessories collection that will be available at 140 H&M stores.

The collection will consist of shoes, bags, jewelry and sunglasses…and all statement-worthy and over-the-top. Would you expect anything less from ADR?

From Anna herself– “I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist, I know accessorization is essential; it is the personal touch in any outfit. With these pieces, everybody can have fun, and turn an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day.”

Let’s Get Beachy

You’re invited to a beach party….no bikinis required (unless you’re feeling extra daring of course). On Wednesday, May 16 I’m teaming up with Juicy Couture for a beach weekend-themed party and YOU’RE INVITED!

Not only will all guests receive 20% off (and you’ll want to keep reading for pictures of their sweet new Spring/Summer merchandise) but Rosemary Fanti (who designed my logo) will be in attendance doing live illustrations. Plus there will be an awesome raffle AND a portion of the proceeds will benefit PAWS. So help the animals, amp up your wardrobe for Spring/Summer and come hang out with me at Juicy on Oak Street from 6-8pm Wednesday, May 16.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the brand new merchandise you’ll see at the event (and can get for 20% off!)

One of my favorite things Juicy just started offering are these DIY necklaces that are not only customizable with various charms but you can also adjust the length of the necklace to be any size (it’s truly genius). Here’s a look at mine…

Can’t wait to see what you do with yours! From now until May 7 when you buy 2 charms you get one free. Perfect for Mother’s Day or a birthday.
