Designer Collaborations I’m Shopping

There is nothing that I love more than a designer look at a bargain price. Here are a few designer collaborations that I am loving or looking forward to:

Maison Martin Margiela for H&M

Photography: Sam Taylor-Johnson/H&M

Yes, I am saving my pennies for these amazing oxblood/lucite wedge heel boots from the Maison Martin Margiela line for H&M on November 15 at 8AM at the Powell St. location. If you see me, stay away from these in a size 38. They are mine!

Gap x GQ

The Gap x GQ collection is already in stores and online. Even though this collection was made for the boys, I snagged some pieces for myself, including this awesome Saturdays NYC baseball hat.
Check out the collection here.

Banana Republic, Anna Karenina collection.

The Banana Republic, Anna Karenina capsule collection is everything a girl needs for the holidays season. Think lace, fur and sparkle! This collection was inspired by the Anna Karenina film and designed by Banana Republic and the film’s costume designer, Jacqueline Durran. Shop the collection online and in select Banana Republic stores.

This Russian faux fur hat is on my shopping list for my next Banana Republic trip.

San Francisco x Chuck Taylor
Converse All Star: City Collection

This collection is exclusively available at ShoeBiz and designed by local SF designers, Alan Gonzales and Kris Mestizo. I’m obsessed with the old school (pre-clipper card) muni ticket design. Snag these at ShoeBiz, starting at $60 with 100% of the profits benefiting Youth Against Poverty and Compass Family Services.

It Was a Khaki Kind of Day

I had no idea how khaki I was feeling last Wednesday until I opened up these picture from my inbox.
I was probably in head to toe brown because last Wednesday was the day of the Giants parade, which made me feel very bad (as a die-hard Dodgers fan).
Thank god our in-house photographer was taking pictures at work, so I got in on the photo shoot for some fancy shots for KatWalk…while everyone else watched the parade!
A huge thank you to John!
