Versace for H&M Collection

H&M has collaborated with some amazing designers in the past from Lavin to Jimmy Choo, but now H&M is welcoming another extraordinary brand to the pack: Versace! The collection features old archives to bring that classic Versace look to the forefront of the collection!

"The Collection for H&M is the essence of Versace. For the collaboration we've [pulled] from the archives--as well as from more recent collections--some of the icons of Versace such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can't wait to see how H&M's wide audience will make these pieces their own." -  Donatella Versace

Where We're Shopping: Emyloo Shoes!


Hello there dear readers and HAPPY MONDAY! Hopefully your day is going to according to plan and a bright week is ahead of you!

As the weather changes, I know many of us are beginning to look for new shoes. Answer me this, dear readers, do you have trouble finding shoes? Perhaps because you have smaller-than-conventional feet? Well aren't you in luck because this post is all about a great new website called EmylooShoes.com. 

Owned by Emily Krause, this specialty footwear website caters to women with petite feet, sizes 3 and up! Emily herself is a petite woman, and after years of frustration trying to find shoes for her size 4 feet, she decided to start her own business to cater to women like her!

We caught up with Emily to ask her a few questions about her site. Here's what she had to say! 

How did you get interested in selling specialty shoes?

"As a petite woman interested in fashion, I’ve always been extremely frustrated with the lack of options for cute shoes in small sizes. Very few retailers carry shoes smaller than a woman’s size 5 or 6, and the selection is typically minimal if they do. Industry standards keep getting larger and the sad truth is that many stores are phasing out a size 5 altogether. I set out to provide fashionable footwear for a niche market of women with petite feet."
