Isabel Marant Collaborates with H&M

Designer, Isabel Marant

If you loved those sneaker wedges that Isabel Marant made popular, well here's some good news...designer Isabel Marant is going to collaborate with H&M. Yes, H&M has collaborated with many designers in the past, but I think with Isabel Marant it's influenced by her personal style. What many people loved about Isabel is her mixture of Parisian and urban aesthetic. The collection will hit stores November 14, 2013.

Are you excited about the Isabel Marant and H&M collaboration?

Skyn Iceland x Henri Bendel Event

It's half way of the year and we all need to de-stress and find ways to relax. I attended an event for Skyn Iceland at Henri Bendels in NYC. Skyn Iceland is a paraben-free skincare range that uses potent natural ingredients from Iceland formulated to bring skin back into balance. I agree, we all need some balance in our daily lives and after testing some of the Skyn Iceland products, this is my first step to a balance life. 
Below, I'm trying out their Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels, which you keep under your eyes for 5-10 minutes and it helps with dark circles and puffiness. From late nights to having stressful days, the look of our eyes reveals how we truly feel.

Market Appointment: Wallis Fall/Winter 2013 Preview

Wallis, is a UK based clothing retailer that recently had their fall 2013 preview. The brand only has stores in England. This winter they launched their E-commerce, which is great for their potential customers in the US. At their fall preview was also a peek at their current summer collection. The summer collection was great with colorful and flowy caftan and dresses, perfect for a the beach. But other than that, the Fall pieces were tailored with leather piping and other were embellished in sequin and snake skin. Lately, I've noticed many knock-off trends that are in some stores looks so contrived and forced that it's a little upsetting. The Senior Head designer, Sital Mehta was on hand to explain that for Fall, he wants the customer to have the runway trends but to look effortless. I love that idea!

Clover Canyon Resort 2014 Mirrored Prints

Clover Canyon Resort 2014

The Resort '14 is in full swing now. You can check my pinterest page to see my favorite looks so far. Other than that, I have to pull the Clover Canyon to the side because I am fascinated by their mirrored prints throughout the collection. According to Style.com, the brand's inspiration trip to Cuba was the reference for the prints. Look closely you can see cigars, bananas and other tropical fruits in a reflected pattern .

Do you love the Clover Canyon mirrored prints?

Please bear with me...

Hey Readers,

I haven't been posting the way I would like because my computer has a terribly virus. With having a full-time job, going to the gym and more importantly going to events, it's hard to find a computer or laptop when I need it. I love to write and design trend stories after 10pm so my options of posting has been scarce. If anyone has any ideas of what I can do to fix my computer or where I can loan a laptop  (for a decent price) please let me know. Right now, I'm typing this on my iPad which is not too functional for the Blogger platform. So, if you need some Chic Inspector fix, follow me on Twitter, Instagram and tumblr.

Thanks again.

Xoxo,
S
