H&M has just announced that their next designer collaboration will be none other than Versace.

When I heard this news, I wasn’t overly excited because their previous collabs have been overrated, re: Madonna (boring in all-black), Lanvin (all Monets – up-close they were a big ol’ mess, tees were reminiscent of clothes from Chinatown), & Jimmy Choo (disappointment, shoes were cheap!).

Another reason for my lack of enthusiasm is that H&M always rolls out these guest-designer lines at certain flagship stores, downtown, so that means that I hafta haul my butt there, hours ahead of time, and stand in a line for mediocrity. No thanks!

SO…with that sort of history, there isn’t much Versace has to do in order to have a runaway hit. Due to the hype, these lines ALWAYS sell-out, but the question remains: Will it be any good?

Obviously, I don’t expect the pieces to be hand-crafted in Italy, but as you may know, there’s a fine line between the flamboyant styles of Versace and just plain ol’ gaudy. Think: Neon coloured, leopard print.

The ingredients are there, but they can be used for either good or bad!

For a sneak peek at Versace x H&M collaboration, click here. Aside from blacks + nudes, I certainly hope that it’ll feature a wider range of colours!

Recently our long time and well loved cuddly member “Koala” won a huge makeover contest.  Below is her experience, first hand.

Mid January I received a phone call that changed my life. I found out I was one of  5 winners of the Skin Vitality $10,000 10 Years Younger Contest!  That was the first conversation of many that changed how I feel, and how I look.  I literally won a  gift of youth that most women only dream of. Entry was only a recent photo and story as to why I deserved a makeover and judges made the decision (based on the info submitted).
 
How do I feel now that my makeover is complete?  Fantastic, honoured, and still fuzzy. Maybe it was all the champagne last night (haha) Honestly, I feel fantastic inside and out. Willy (my husband)  went to every appointment with me and documented the entire journey. I am so proud of myself, and I know Willy is proud of me. We really make quite the team.I am still pinching myself to make sure that it is me, and this really happened. 
 
Skin Vitality provided the most amazing treatments which included:  Photofacial,  Botox,  Soft Lip,  Skin Tightening,  Fraxel,  and  Chemical Peels. Minimized are the wrinkles and any of my broken capilliaries and discolourations!! Included in my treatments were hair, teeth, wardrobe, cosmetics, and photo shoots. I was treated to not one, but two days with David Clemmer from Style By Jury!  He provided fun, humorous, but constructive criticism providing tips how I should dress, and what I can wear.  I finally realize I can wear belts, and fitted garments and look fashionable, comfortable, and if I don’t mind saying so myself,  pretty darn hot!!  Hey, it’s not every day you get a man to dress you. I highly recommend it.
  
Read about the entire journey over at my blog. You will find more pictures and more about my story.
