"It's not stealing... I simply borrowed without permission."

I think we've all been there when you wake up in the morning without an ounce of fashion inspiration. In my case, that was this morning. Fortunate enough for me, my mom probably has as much if not more fashionista-blood running through her veins as I do which meant that I went over to her closet this morning. Turns out, going through the racks in one of her closets was like being able to pick and choose from the entire Marni for H&M-collection. Not that I mind.

I think that was a very successful collaboration because not only did Marni reach out to a wider crowd, but I think they updated their look. The majority of the pieces still stayed true to the playful prints and innovative thinking that make Marni great, but they had the updated fit and sophistication that H&M is beginning to associate themselves with nowadays.

Today I played with print more than color but I still added a little bit of rustic and fun to what could have turned out to be a very polished look. The nailpolish, #116 from Viva la Diva, and accessories took it to another level.


Outfit: Marni for H&M blouse and coat, Matthew Williamson for H&M belt, Cheap Monday jeans, H&M jewellery and Chloé wedges.
