Runway Look For Less: Burberry April Showers 2011
"Tut-tut, it looks like rain!"
Just in time for the first rainy day in Spring here in Hong Kong. These visuals mark the second year since Burberry launched its April Showers campaign. Once again, bright and vibrant colors are confirmed to be on the hit list this season.
First off, I'd like to say I'm digging the white pants - they definitely made raining look less gloomy. The waterproof fabrics also made the outfits light and breezy. Another take-away from this campaign is to limit your outfits to only three colors to keep things simple and chic.
Topman has this purple trench coat which I find to be along the same vein as the April Showers campaign (especially the blue trench in the second picture above). It's now available here, retailing at £110.00. The styling isn't perfect - would've preferred the buttons to be black and I wouldn't pair this with brownish pants (unquestionably I'd go with white) - but then when the Burberry one costs £395.00, this one from Topman will have to do for now. No?

My obsession with baseball jackets has reached fever pitch after Zac Efron, Joe Jonas, and Lookbook.nu celebrity Andreas Wijk were seen wearing them back to back to back over the last couple of days.
Baseball jackets are perfect for this Spring / Summer because the sporty look is totally on trend, but at the same time, the retro vibe is also very timeless. Wear a simple t-shirt underneath like Zac and Joe or layer it up like Andreas - they're super versatile and can be very easily blended into our everyday wardrobe.
As a side (and cheeky) note, this baseball jacket trend might very well have been brought on by one of my favorite and the most popular show on TV right now - Glee!

I wish I could be poetic and say we'll all be needing a light beige-tone jacket for those chilly nights in Spring or a relaxing day at the beach enjoying the Summer breeze, but let's be real - it's for the ridiculously cranked up a/c. At the mall. Or in your office.
As you all must've heard by now, beige, camel, grey, khaki and all earth-tone colors will be major this season. Fabric-wise, light and comfortable are key. The marriage of these two brings us these gorgeous jackets that would definitely come in handy functionally, as well as aesthetically.
If you're not a huge fan of the color, what you can do is get a navy blazer or jacket and then pair it up with beige-tone shorts. Finish the look with a pair of desert boots and you're good to go!
Revisit items #1, 2 and 3 here, here and here, and stay tuned for more items to come!

Shopping Intel: H&M Conscious Collection (with Price Lists)
It's always great to see big companies taking care of the environment. In H&M's latest aptly titled 'Conscious' Collection, we can see how the environmentally conscious high street fashion powerhouse created these sustainable looks with organic cotton, Tencel® and recycled polyester. The collection includes looks for the ladies, as well as kids.
The fabrics are perfect for the Spring / Summer weather, especially since they're all in different shades of white. These are my favorite pieces from the collection - they can easily be blended into our wardrobe and are great for freshening up old looks from last year or so.

Style Notes: H&M SS2011 Trend Guides & Styling Sessions
Swedish clothing giant H&M continues to galvanize the fashion world with their seasonal trend guides and exclusive styling sessions!
I'm absolutely loving all the looks Hanneli picked out, but especially the grey and black sweaters with the two contrasting fabrics in the second and last look! They hint a bit of Rick Owens mixed with a bit of Neil Barrett. Mental note: Must buy.
As for the hottest SS2011 trends, we've already spotted them back in December last year from the brand's video lookbook, but it's always helpful to get confirmation from the pros: blue, beige, grey, khaki, and white will dominate; aim for long, loose silhouettes with fabrics that create movements; blazers and uniform inspired jackets continue to reign, but added to the mix are desert boots and leather belts.
Looks like I will have to add some more items to my shopping list! Stay tuned for more on what to wear this Spring / Summer! And as a special treat for the female readers - check out the SS2011 trend guide and styling session for womenswear after the jump!

H&M Summer 2011 Lookbook
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!
