H&M Scores Yet Another HUGE Guest Designer

H&M is pretty fabulous in its own right, they have a great selection of trendy, eclectic clothing for bargain prices without sacrificing quality.

And now they're about to give you one more reason to drool...Versace for H&M!

I know what you're thinking already, "Can't possibly afford it." Let me tell you, at these prices, you can!

Here are 5 outfit ideas straight from the Versace for H&M lookbook:

This Hollywood-inspired chainmail dress is on the more expensive side of the spectrum at $249.

This outfit is such a genius mix of prints, and it's to-die-for! It's glamorous without a single sequin or speck of glitter in sight. The luxurious silk bustier is $129, and the pants are a steal at $69.95.

This hot pink dress ($199) is tough girl glam at its best! And it's something you can wear now until next Spring! Pair this number with black tights and ankle boots for the cold months. In the Spring, opt for bare legs and cute sandals.

This is not your average LBD, and it has me swooning! It's the perfect mix of bad girl (with the tough, bondage-y bodice) and good girl (with the flirty skirt). This number will set you back $149. Gotta have the suede boots? You can walk away with them for $149.

This bright yellow frock looks like a sibling to the hot pink dress, and it's goregous! Another number you can wear year-round for $199. Let me tell you, that printed bag, is an artful show-stopper and it'll make you the envy of every fashion-conscious lady you know.

Versace for H&M hits stores on November 19. Prices will range from $29.99 to $399.

How do you ladies feel about Versace for H&M? Will you be hitting up the stores on day 1? Do share!

How-To: The Sneaky Way to Whittle Your Waistline

Whether you're a curvy woman or a woman who wishes she had more curves, you will love me for this small trick that will make a big difference in your shape.

Take a look at this picture of Kate Winslet on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival...

When I first saw this picture of Kate in that Stella McCartney number, I thought, "No way! Her waist is TEENY tiny! That has to be Photoshopped..." Alas, it is not! Take another look. Kate has a bod men drool over and women envy anyway, but her secret's in the fabric. Thanks to strategic placement of colorblock panels, every curve is highlighted in the best way. It's one of the oldest tricks for stylists - using dark panels on the sides creates the illusion of the perfect hourglass figure. It's along the same lines as using a belt to cinch your waist, but it's not quite as obvious and can work in a more formal setting. And this girl is all for getting a bod like Kate's without stressing myself at the gym!

Check out some of these colorblock options to get the same effect for less, including one that's just like Kate's for only $78!

Fall Fashion Guide: 10 Trendy Ponchos Under $50

I thought it was a great thing went the poncho trend came and went about 10 years ago. Now that it's back, and with a whole new look, I have a new take on them!  However, ponchos can go wrong quickly (think the shapeless, bright ponchos of 2000 - ick!). Just follow my simple tips and you'll always be  poncho-chic!

1. The poncho should be the only slouchy item of your outfit.

If you pair a slouchy sweater with baggy pants, you'll be in for a fashion disaster! Steal Kim Kardashian's idea and go basic black with your poncho. Try it with leggings and boots for a stramlined look.

2. Coordinate your poncho with fun transitional colors.

Dakota rocks her poncho with mustard corduroy skinnies and leopard platforms - love it! Top it off with a brightly hued patent bag for a pop of color.

Get your celeb style on with any of these modern ponchos under $50!

Fall Fashion Guide: 5 Tips to Steal from 'Pan Am'

We're only 2 episodes in and I'm already in love with "Pan Am." It's no secret that I'm a fan of  vintage-inspired looks (i.e my Marilyn Monroe obsession), but there's definitely a pattern associated with fall/winer and vintage.

So, in honor of my new favorite show, here are 5 fall style tips to steal from "Pan Am."

1. Winged eye-liner.

I know I don't usually give beauty tips, but this one just can't be passed up! Wearing this trend is easy and oh-so glamorous. It's as simple as 1. apply foundation, 2. apply blush, 3. apply eyeliner, 4. apply lip color - done! YouTube has a whole array of options to help you learn how to perfect the trend too.

2. Trapeze coats or capes.

Not-so-structured coats like these are all over the runways. If you don't like the trapeze style, you could also opt for a stylish cape instead.

3. Let your accessories add a pop of color.

I love how colorful the accessories are this year! Winter's no longer about just primary dark colors. Now you can add richness and brighten up your look with accessories. Hunter green bauble earrings like these are very classic, but you could buy a pair with a modern twist to suit your style.

4. Try on vintage silhouettes.

Not only are the colors on that red frock to-die-for, but the shape is also falttering for many body types. It accents and cinches the waist to give you an hourglass figure, and the dip in the back gives it a sultry touch. To get the look, try a brilliant-hued dress like this from Mod Cloth. 

5. Mix casual tops wth dressy skirts.

I am so in love with this look because it's chic and sexy without too much effort. Try pairing a classic pencil skirt, or a mid waist A-line skirt (H&M has tons of options), with a basic white or black cotton top. It's great for work and play!

How do you feel about these vintage-inspired looks? Will you be trying them? I know I will!

Old Hollywood History to be Sold at Auction

If you're around me long enough, you'll quickly realize how addicted to Marilyn Monroe I am. I've always idolized Marilyn as a joyful, free spirit. No doubt I'd love to own something that was once connected to her, but that's probably a long shot.

However, if your pockets are deep enough you could be the next proud owner of Marilyn's wedding ring.

Word on the street is that Profiles in History will begin their "Icons of Hollywood" auction on December 15. The auction will include the platinum and diamond band given to Marilyn by famed New York Yankee, Joe DiMaggio.

The platinum stunner from the couple's 1954 San Francisco wedding is expected to go between $300,000 and $500,000, even though it's missing one baguette diamond!

The band has already been auctioned off once before at Christie's in 1999 and collected nearly $800,000.

Apparently, there are no shortage of people wanting to own Marilyn memorabilia. Her famed white halter dress from The Seven Year Itch recently auctioned for over $5.6 million.
