A Sneak Peek: Pour La Victoire Campaign

The fabulous brand, Pour La Victoire, is cashing in on the excitement of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week by releasing their first ever ad campaign! Lovelies, PLV sells some of the chicest shoes and accessories on Earth (I saved $295 for my first pair of PLV wedges!)

Anywhoo, they landed Terry Richardson, an amazing fashion photog, to capture supermodel Jessica Hart for their Holiday and Resort campaign. The shoot blended sophisticated modern looks with retro accessories. Peep Jessica’s beat face. That red lip is everything! It is classic 50’s mixed with the sleekness of present day lingerie.

PLV will soon be headed to the ad pages of our fave glossies. But until then, we have a behind the scenes peek into the makings of this sizzling shoot. Check it out below:

 

What do you think? Would you purchase a pair of these Pour La Victoire beauties?

Confessions of a Shopaholic: ELLE Picks for H&M

Yesterday as I was strolling my neighborhood waiting to have coffee with a friend, I wandered into my local H&M and was pleasantly surprised to find that they've stocked up on most of their Fall line already. Even more surprised was I to find a beautifully merchandised front section of the store littered with little tags reading "Elle Picks".

 The editors at Elle Magazine have teamed up with H&M in a nationwide campaign featuring their absolute favorite Fall items this season. I think it's so great when fashion brands and publications team up like this. I mean who wouldn't take a second look at a fashion editor's favorite things?

I fell in love with this metallic faux leather mini on the racks. Not sure if I could pull it off, but I imagine it would be super cute with a tight bustier, a fitted blazer and some killer platforms.

Can you believe this is faux leather?? Neither could I. That's always a good thing...

Not sure if this was one of the ELLE Picks but it's certainly a LoveBrownSugar pick. Cognac lace-up booties are huge for Fall! Currently scouting my own pair. I'm tempted to add these to my "Bootie Calls" installation. If I can find a size 10 in the tri-state area, I'll tweet about it.
