Denim Shirts / Olivia Palermo

Denim shirts are one of the many trends that have resurged, but I’m only now warming up to it and thinking of getting a denim shirt for myself. (Yes I’m typically late in catching the Fashion Bahn.) I found a nice one in H&M, but I decided against buying, thinking denim shirts have had their […]

Isabel Marant for H&M

I KNOW RIGHT. Only just heard about this (I read the FT not Vogue -.-) I wonder what the collection will include..?
