H&M’s New “it” Brand

- On January 29, 2013
The H&M Group is in the works of adding a new page to their book. With H&M, COS, and Cheap Monday known worldwide to be some of the cool kids on the block, sometime this Spring will mark the launch of & Other Stories, a womenswear brand offering a wide range of bags, accessories, shoes, beauty and ready-to-wear items.
Each piece in the affordable yet expensive-looking line is designed and created with great quality and attention to detail in their Paris and Stockholm atelier’s.
This future one-stop styling destination has butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Not that H&M‘s past collaborations with designers Karl Lagerfeld, Matthew Williamson, and Anna Dello Russo didn’t get me excited, but this new fashion “it” chain takes the cake. You should really take the time to check out the & Other Stories promotional concept videos that they’ve slowly released because if you aren’t already excited, you will be.
Stores will be opening up in Stockholm, Paris, London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Milan, and Barcelona, with the online store only shipping to selected European countries. So as sad as that may be for those living in North America, at least & Other Stories will be something to look forward to when travelling abroad.
Tease Alert: This future “it” brand is sure to be every girls dream. So while we’re all waiting patiently to find out the anticipated opening date, why not start your style story by visiting their Tumblr page to see what & Other Stories has in store for us “it” girls.

Kookn Kappin “it”
April 24, 2013 | TassyTas
This chic bonnet Kookn Kap keeps the odor out of the hair and the hair out of the food!
This “it” gal is all about cooking and baking. You can find me spending all my evenings trying new recipes and the weekends testing them out with friends while entertaining. But the one thing I can never stand is the smell of cooking in my hair. I have no time to get a blowout or get ready before guests come; that was until I was introduced to a fabulous new concept.
When I make curries or BBQ I put on the cute pink Kookn Kap and kook away. They are cute little chef hats in pink and white with fun slogans. My fave is the “bitch in the kitch”.
I love this trendy version of a chef hat, so get yours and start Bitchin in the Kitchen!
Responsible Life – Gucci “it” Watch
April 3, 2013 | GuestIn January 2013 it was announced that Gucci Timepieces and Jewelry were coming together with Chinese actress and Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations, Li Bingbing, on a new Collection – an eco-friendly limited edition Bamboo watch collection.
Each watch is handmade, as if that isn’t impressive enough; they are using bezel, a lightweight bamboo and have also created a bracelet to complete the collection. The bracelet is made of bamboo and Tagua nut, which is a vegetable ivory as opposed to using animal tusks.
You can purchase this watch online at Gucci, choosing from the three styles available. The collection is beautiful and simple with much attention to detail like the “Responsible Life” script you will find engraved into each piece. I think the silver accents the naturalness of the bamboo perfectly, making this piece a luxury watch must-have to keep wrapped around your pretty little wrist.

“it” Trend: Clear Clutch
March 19, 2013 | LaurenThis “it” accessory gives the simplicity of the clutch purse a whole new meaning. When many of us ladies turn to the clutch as a way of cutting back on the number of items we haul around in our purse, this new trend of the clear clutch will help you make the perfect item selections.
In the majority of these clutches, as you see, there is no area in the bag to keep something hidden. But this also allows you to have a little fun. Minimizing to your cell phone, a lipstick, small wallet, sunglasses, and a set of keys, with perfect placement will have people talking about how cute your new clear clutch is.
Or if you’re looking for a less bold version of this trend, try placing your contents in a fun coloured or printed pouch, that you then place into the clear clutch.
Either way this clear clutch trend is one to try, and it will have all of the other “it” girls talking about what’s in your bag.
