ZARA Young February 2011 Lookbook

More looks after the jump!

February 01, 2011

H&M's Summer lookbook has reaffirmed the rule of thumb that Summer looks are supposed to be easy and breezy. The pieces look really light and comfortable. The white jacket and shorts paired with the pink sweater reminds me of Jil Sander's SS2011 collection; and I'm really digging the shorts plus boots combo in the first look!

More looks after the jump!

And my favorite FW2011 collection is...

Despite the Zara-esque lookbook vibe, I find Balmain's FW2011 collection the best overall. From the earth tone palette to the the finer details, it's all quite refreshing and different from the edgy styles that we've come to expect of the brand. I'm loving the "bohemian nomads" energy with the different layers of mixed plaids. Especially digging every single one of the pea coats featured! And oh, do I even have to mention the signature skinny jeans?

Tom Ford SS2011 Lookbook

Miranda Priestly from the movie, The Devil Wears Prada, once said (in a sarcastic way), "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking."

That's what came to mind when I first saw Tom Ford's SS2011 collection. But in a good way.

I must say floral patterns on formal wear is quite a breath of fresh air. I had hesitations at first because I was reminded of another movie quote, this time from Legally Blonde's Elle Woods, who's sure that "nobody looks good in paisley." But then on a second look, they do look quite interesting and fitting for Spring without overshadowing the classic Tom Ford chic and dandyness with all the busy prints. Having that said, I probably won't have the guts to wear them in public, especially in Hong Kong, where people already stare at you when you wear sunglasses. On a sunny day.

So I guess they'll just all go into my pretty-to-look-at-but-won't-ever-buy-or-wear" file. On that note, the visually stimulating tux seen in the last set has already been featured in the sizzling hot campaign for Tom Ford Eyewear SS2011.

If you're like Jane Bingum / Deb Dopkins from Drop Dead Diva, who thinks "florals make me dizzy", there are some pattern-free looks after the jump!

Preview: H&M Spring 2011 Lookbook

Here, we have the preview of H&M's featured looks in Spring 2011. The trend of military green extends from AW2010 to SS2011, along with combat boots and brown leather details! Not a huge fan of the green jumpsuit, but I'm liking everything else I see. I'm particularly digging the sweatpants in the second look.

What about you?
