First Look @ Balmain x H&M (Men's)

Contrary to my popular belief, what I've seen so far of the men's collections for Balmain x H&M isn't half bad. The prices are actually just as affordable as the Wang x H&M collection. Let's take a look shall we?

(All photos from GQ.com)

Very Balmain! I'm very here for it. Going for $349

I'm actually disappointed that the Biker jeans are apart of the collection. Every retailer has made a knock off rendition and charged more. Congrats guys you'll finally have a real pair of Balmain Biker Jeans. Going for $99

All black with details, I'll take it. Going for $299

This jacket gives me MJ Fever like the Thriller video. *does the mummy dance at the end of fge video* Going for $349

I don't hate the sneakers. I actually like that they're suede and green. I've seen something similar(if not the same silhouette) from Marc Jacobs. Going for $149

Definitely here for the shoulder details. Not too shabby. Going for $70

Add some words to this bad boy and you're Andre' 3000 at Art Basel. Going for $129

November 5th is around the corner. Get your coins ready.

Get It While It's Hot: Fall Trending Now🍂

Well hello September! It won't be hot too much longer so let's start transitioning that closet. This is the one of the best times to shop for your Fall wardrobes because almost every store has extended their sales for Labor Day weekend and they even include the new stuff. My theory: Get it while you can find it and while it's cheap! Some transitional pieces you can even wear now; break them in (specially flats) and get that comfy worn look in by the time October hits. Check out my favorite trends for Fall 15':
