Flavor of Friday: H&M for Marni, Solange on Vogue UK, Simply Be & More

Happy Friday darlings! What a crazy week it’s been. Everyone is in overdrive mode prepping for New York Fashion Week starting this Thursday. I’m getting excited – are you? Though I won’t be pumping to as many shows as I’m used to, I’m still thrilled to see all the amazing people who will be in and around the tents for fashion week. Anyway, enough fashion week talk, here’s the tea this week:

Marni x H&M Collection Video by Sofia Coppola


If you don’t know now you know. Get your tennis shoes ready, because if you stan for H&M designer collections like myself, you’ll want to be ready to run once those doors open on March 5th. If Versace x H&M was any indication of how crazy it gets, you already know the deal.

My fave red carpet regular and street style extraordinaire Solange Knowles is engaging in a photo diary for Vogue.co.uk. I’m thoroughly enjoying her outfit updates. 

Simply Be S/S 2012 Collection

Simply Be was kind enough to invite me to their S/S 2012 collection launch this past Wednesday. If you participated in 25 Days of LoveBrownSugar over the holidays, you probably remember that they were one of our sponsors. They have some super cute staples for curvy girls in their arsenal. Check out the new looks at SimplyBe.com.

MAC x Nicki Minaj & Ricky Martin for VIVA Glam

In beauty news, it looks like MAC has teamed up with Nicki Minaj once again to launch another collection for VIVA Glam, in support of HIV/AIDS research. This time Ricky Martin is in the mix. The two stars are releasing a lipstick & lipgloss duo as part of the collection. My girls over at Glamazons blog have the details on that, so check it out it out at Glamazons Blog.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch, I’m sporting my own pink lips round the office. And a turban too.

Enjoy the weekend!
