Isabel Marant For H&M Is Coming!!!

Reds
No, You’re Not Still Sleeping And Dreaming: Isabel Marant For H&M Is Happening! Mark your calendars now. Isabel Marant will release her one-off designer collection for H&M on November 14th, 2013. This collaboration will include must-have clothes and accessories for women and teens, as well as Marant’s first ever collection for men. For the collaboration, the Parisian native promises nothing less then her signature urban and boho inspired designs, with a rock ‘n’ roll edge of course.

Preview Nicki Minaj’s KMart Collaboration

Reds
Still from KMart's preview after the jump KMart recently announced that Nicki Minaj would be designing a collection for women (Adam Levine would take care of the dudes) and the results of the collaboration are now available for preview in a behind-the-scenes video after the jump. In it she explains, "I definitely didn't want people to think, 'Oh, she's just going to have crazy stuff on her line, 'cause then that would push them away. I want them to know: No, no, no, I'm doing this for women in general to feel beautiful and sexy." Missed mark by several midriffs, Minaj. But to be fair, it probably wasn't her choice.

Is your wardrobe why you’re SINGLE?

Pinks
9 Summer Trends Men Hate (And How Your Wardrobe Is Keeping You Single!) We all know that men love short skirts and dresses – and thus summertime is their favorite season – but what warm weather trends do they actually despise? Sure, gladiator sandals and one-piece swimsuits are an obvious choice, but what else about this season and how women dress in it is a major turn off for men? (This story is for you single ladies out there, so please read closely! lets us peek inside the minds of men–for better or for more likely, worse!). We took a poll of SHEfinds staffers’ boyfriends, husbands, guy friends and strangers on the streets to find out what trends men hate (and more importantly – why) to get some insight. Note: the opinions expressed by chauvinists in…

Can’t go Wrong in a Maxi Dress!!

Reds
In Defense Of Maxi Dresses The other night, I met up with a guy for happy hour. I came straight from work and was wearing a maxi dress. When I met him at the restaurant, the first thing he said to me was, “You look nice…but why are you wearing a gown?” Somehow he interpreted the fact I wore a maxi dress on the date as me dressing up. I wasn’t particularly trying to impress him; I just threw on the dress because I was in a rush and it was hot outside. And, to be completely honest, I didn’t shave my legs that morning (clearly this guy didn’t have much of a chance to begin with). To me, maxis are the easiest thing to wear, but I know that maxi…

Lighten Up . . .

Reds
Eyes Need A Rest From Neon? Lighten Up With These Pastel Picks Under $100 If you’re starting to feel like all that neon is damaging your eyes, try turning your wardrobe down a notch and go for pastels instead. Colors like mint, lavender and and soft pink are just as in style as cornea-scorching lime green. And don’t worry about pastels being cutesy. A pair of lilac skinny jeans can add the perfect pop of color and edge to an outfit. Instead of a floral print, try color blocks or dip dye accents. We’ve gone ahead and pulled some of our favorite pastel pieces for you – and they’re all under $100! Click through the slideshow to start shopping! **courtesy of SHEfinds
