Label Lusting - Lavish Alice

This month I'm label checking 'Lavish Alice'
Popping up more and more, you will find this brand on their own site as well as ASOS , Very and Studio and also stocking to a few select stores nationwide. This label is at the forefront of  fashion but without the high price tag. Lavish Alice is breath of fresh air from the usual online fashion stores. They work on the premise that they give back to there fans. If your not following them on instagram, you really should. They are big on social media and release a lot of their news through it, Exclusive invites and even sending out an occasional freebie to their followers as well as doing collaborations with bloggers. (Pick me, Pick me!!)
Not only are their designs pretty on point, their prices are too. Affordable fashion, this something that I can get on board with.

Balmain x H&M - full collection

Well never have I been more excited for an H&M collaboration than this one!

Balmain for H&M will be hitting the shop floors this Friday and I for one predict a RIOT!

Creative director Oliver Rousteing who took over Balmain 4 years ago at the tender age of 25, yes Twenty goddamn five! Has managed to bring Balmain to the fore front of every woman fashion wish list . Wowzers what an inspiration to all you young fashionistas right?

Reading his interview in Dazed and Confused Oliver states  "If you want people to feel good in your clothes, you have to feel good creating your clothes" "My work days are dreamy days. For me, the essence of Balmain is happiness." Well hes one lucky guy who gets to go in everyday to work and create beautiful dresses for woman who adore his designs.

Reading his interview in Style magazine Oliver the prices for the Balmain pieces "are not a price everybody will be thrilled about" but as he carries on to say " its not the normal fashion you expect from H&M"

Personally I would have to agree, but cant quite fully commit until I see and touch the quality of the clothing myself.

With dress prices starting from £119.00 ( the green Sequin dress) climbing to £399.99 for the embellished dress, we hope this must anticipated collection everything a girl could wish for and more from Balmain.
