Pass that Ver-sa-ce ~Kanye


I am too excited! Versace and H&M have teamed up to bring you designer clothing on a budget as the H&M’s autumn 2011 designer collaboration. According the press release by H&M, “the exclusive collection will look back to the vibrant heritage of the brand, full of leather, prints, colour and exuberance in exclusive materials at fantastic H&M prices. The collection will include ranges for women, men and selected pieces for the home. It will be available from 17th November in around 300 stores worldwide, as well as on-line”
Versace is glamourous, colorful, and not for the faint of hearts. Check out Donatella wearing one of the dresses from the Versace for H&M collection at the Versace men’s fashion show in Milan June 20th, 2011:

Splurge vs. Save: Fashion Basics Every Woman Should Own

Published on by Danielle YB Vason8 Comments

I remember being in college trying to explain to my Dad how and why I spent $300 on a pair of Dolce & Gabbana strappy wedged heeled sandals. I tried to compare my growing shoe collection with his collection of art. Both deserve to be seen, both are an investment, and both, shoes and art, are an expression of personal style. My Dad redirected with one irrefutable point, shoes unlike art don’t increase in value over time. Ugh!! Looking back those shoes are still in great condition, 7 years later, which got me thinking. When faced with the choice to splurge or save, how do you decide?

 Personally, I suggest splurging on the basics and saving on more trendy items. Check out my inspirations below!!

SPLURGE

The Little Black Dress (LBD)

Swap Party: Renew Your Wardrobe on a Budget

Published on by Danielle YB VasonLeave a comment

I have two words for you:  SWAP-PARTY!  For those of you who are unfamiliar, a fashion swap party is a creative and cost efficient way to renew your wardrobe and possibly clean out your closet at the same time. This Saturday, May 14, 2011 Fashion Envy, LLC and PGRDresses have joined forces to bring Atlanta the most anticipated SWAPINISTA DAY PARTY.  Are you ready?

To participate you must bring at least 3 new or gently used articles of clothing and/or  accessories.  Think about the rules for selling to a consignment shop and apply those same rules here.  Gently used… is not ambiguous so please bring your clothes to the swap party clean and in a ready to wear condition.  Your items will then be ranked on a silver, gold, and platinum system that corresponds to swap bucks.  Silver equals 1 swap buck and represents economy brands like Walmart and Target.  Gold equals 2 swap bucks and represents department store brands.  Platinum equals 3 swap bucks and represents designer label brands.

If this isn’t reason enough to grab your girlfriends for a chance to update your clothing and accessory game, please allow me to share my 3 top reasons for attending this particular swap party.

  1. The Vendor Suite.  Discounts, freebies, samples…oh my!!  Perhaps, Saturday will be the day you find out about a business you never heard of.  I think this is a great opportunity to meet the represented businesses, don’t you?

VENDOR SUITE

Funky Flair Boutique

Metropolitan Frock

Sassy Mitchell

Cupcake Diva LLC

Carson Bryce Trading Company

 2. The Pamper Lounge.  Upon purchase of your ticket, you are given the options of spa and/or salon services.  I chose the massage and I can’t wait!!

PAMPERING LOUNGE

Chair Massages by Develon Anthony

EyeBrow Threading by Baziara Campbell

Eye Make-up Application

3. The Feeling of Philanthropy.  Do good feel good.  Unclaimed items and a percentage of the proceeds will go to a non-profit.

See you at 2pm on Saturday at the Emerging Art Scene at Castleberry Point.  For advanced tickets, click here.
