Lawan by Koi Suwannagate for Anthropologie

On the heels of a collection with Ruffian’s Brian Wolk and Claude Morais, Anthropologie tapped LA-based designer Koi Suwannagate to design a collection. According to WWD, the collection will be called Lawan after the Thai word for “beautiful,” the four-style lineup is Suwannagate’s first stab at a secondary collection slated to launch later this month. Lawan retails from $228 to $298, features a gown, two cardigans and a sleeveless top, all cut from wool blends and embellished with the designer’s signature frothy, hand-sculpted appliqués, and each piece represents her past bestsellers.

“We had so many requests for pieces with a more affordable price point,” explained Suwannagate. “But we make everything in-house and it would have been too expensive for us. Working with Anthropologie was a natural fit.”

Victorias Secret Miraculous Push Up Bra
Photos courtesy of Victoria’s Secret

This holiday, Victoria’s Secret introduces Miraculous, their newest push-up bra that instantly adds two cup sizes for maximum cleavage! The bra may surprise you when you first pick it up because it’s really padded but when you try it, it’s really comfortable and not heavy at all- and yes the cleavage is kinda crazy after you put it on. The bra is also very versatile with convertible straps, can be worn under strapless, backless and halter dresses- perfect for those dresses that needs that little extra “oomph”. The satin knot that holds the front of the bra can also be twisted tighter for extra cleavage if needed, the all satin bra and seamless stitching makes it invisible under clothing. This bra may not be an every day bra for most but it’s great for holiday parties or when you need that extra boost rockin’ a certain dress, I tried it and loved it. Would def put it in great use, who needs breast implants when you can go push-up! Miraculous is available in vibrant colors and prints for $45, available at Victoria’s Secret stores and www.victoriassecret.com.

Jimmy Choo for H&M x Dorothea Barth Jörgensen | Swedish Elle

Spotted this amazing photo shoot in Swedish Elle featuring select pieces of Jimmy Choo for H&M and regular H&M on model Dorothea Barth Jörgensen at TFS, shot by Andreas Sjodin and styled by Lisa Lindqwister. I’m not really a girly girl so I’ve been trying to imagine how the glam Jimmy Choo for H&M collection would look played down or on a more casual note, these photos just answered my call. The peachy pink dress she’s wearing is from H&M Trend (I bought the black one)  and the leopard clutch is from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection, loves it all!
