Insight Collectables Fall 2012   HOT WAX!

I love candles and especially love candles that are super creative and interesting. Insight is set to debut Insight Collectables, a selection of handpicked things this Fall season. A culmination of Creative Director Steve Gorrow’s favorite oddities and eccentricities, Insight Collectables begins by offering a range of candles. The range includes an eagle skull, human heart, doll’s torso, bones and molotov cocktail – each given the Gorrow hand touch, truly making it a collectable piece of art. How cool?

Peep more candles after the jump…

Missoni for Target Throw   back in stock!

While doing some shopping on Target.com, I came across the Missoni for Target Throws that were sold out in an instant when it first launched! Looks like Target restocked online (only available on Target.com), or probably people returned them. There are 3 colorways in the throw available: Passione, Colore and Famiglia. I ordered one of each, now let’s just hope they’ll ship. For $39.99 each, you can’t go wrong, they’re great Christmas gifts as well. Buy it before, it sells out. Happy shopping.

Versace for H&M Women’s & Home Products + Prices
Photos courtesy of H&M

Finally finished editing the still life photos of the Versace for H&M women’s a home product shots, there’s so much! There’s a lot of pieces I want and I can’t wait for the release. Also check out the ad campaign, women’s lookbook, men’s lookbook and men’s products + prices, are you excited? Which pieces do you like? I wished Donatella Versace made sunglasses for the collection, oh wells! Be sure to check out the price list below as well.

Versace’s collection for H&M includes many of the iconic designs. For women, a classic black silk crepe dress has gold Grecian buttons on its patent straps, while the flow of a floor-length goddess gown is balanced by boning in the bodice. For night-time shine, multi-colour sequin dresses are covered in archival Versace prints, short metallic dresses come in either silver or gold, and strong colour shift dresses are embellished with studs in classic Greek motifs.

For H&M, Versace has revisited some of its most famous prints, which for women are used on pieces such as dresses, short pleat skirts, velvet bomber jackets, leggings and jeans. Meanwhile the importance of leather for Versace is reflected in leather jackets that come decorated with gold studs and zips. Accessories include a high-heeled laced boot and a studded suede high-heeled sandal, along with studded leather bags as well as velvet bags covered with the Miami palm print.

The US and Canada will release the collection on November 19th in select stores. The collection will be available in about 300 stores worldwide. I’m counting down the days…

PROJECT LV: Pendleton Spring 2012

I love Pendleton so I made sure to stop by their booth while I was out in PROJECT Las Vegas back in August. Although I didn’t get to see any collabs they’re working on (well except for one but can’t talk about it) their main collection is just as good. Love the colors, prints, fabric, everything!
