Seeing Stripes

By mid-summer, the fashion mags are displaying the Fall 2013 looks, but we are still trying to beat the heat while looking professional. The easiest way to stay coolis to be mindful of the fabrics we wear.

This striped blazer is made of a light breathable fabric, and with a nice tank underneath, don’t be afraid to sling it over the back of your chair during lunch on a patio!

LOVE SUMMER😎

This blazer is great with a black bottom or a fun colour.

Also looks great when paired with thicker stripes too.

H & M Conscious Exclusive

On Wed I was cordially invited to H & M on Bloor Street by a dear (fashion forward) friend.

Thank goodness for friends in high places because this event was great!

Although the style wouldn’t fit my work wardrobe, the H & M conscious collection is not one to miss!

20130406-182213.jpg
This collection is all about re-ducing, re-using and re-cycling fashion, and the clothes were still fashionable and fun!

20130406-182423.jpg
Both of these dresses were in the $200 range, which is pricey for H & M, but the quality was there.

20130406-182545.jpg
The white lace dress on the right was city hall wedding chic, while the cocktail dress on the left is great for any spring event. Both again over $200.

20130406-182726.jpg
I just couldn’t take my eye off of this dress, and for my fellow matchy-poo’s this dress comes with matching headband and cocktail purse!

20130406-182903.jpg
Although not part of the Conscious Collection, this cute little number caught my eye and its $60 price tag sealed the deal!

And as if the night couldn’t get any better, given the free alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages; the appetizers: and free cup cakes…not to mention the discounted shopping!

H & M out did themselves with one heck of a swag bag!

20130406-183255.jpg

That’s 2 free eye liners, a FLARE magazine, full sized shampoo and conditioner; full sized Dove deodorant;2 Schick lady’s razors; Tresemme heat protection serum, Covergirl suede lipstick; free hoop earrings!

How to get invited to these event?

Sign up for mailing lists at H & M stores and they will send you great invites like these, particularly for avid shoppers.

And don’t forget to invite a friend to spread the good fashion karma!

This look is nothing new, but still one of my absolute favorites.

The navy, beige and orange palette are highly enjoyable.

The Irene Edition~Stay Classy San Diego

Yes, I love the movie Anchor Man featuring Will Farrell and Christina Applegate, however, what I love even more is a classic work look that is under $50.00!

Irene strikes again with this $39.99 dress from H&M and the $10.00 necklace from her last trip to the Burlington Coat Factory in Buffalo, NY
