Yes, I think it’s rather evident that I am indeed a sucker for all types of collaborations (guessing from Lanvin, Missoni, et al) and H&M has a little Spring Treat planned — their amazing capsule collection with Italian powerhouse Marni.
The looks are out, and the prints are to die for. Spent most of the morning mentally planning ensembles and figuring out logistics about how to make this precious pieces a closet staple.
This collection has everything I covet, prints, blouses, colors, baubles — so what’s not to love? Oh yeah and the best part: It is wallet friendly, something that’s absolutely music to any frugalistas’ ears.
The line will launch into stores in March and I can hardly wait. With so many wearables, it’s hard to decice What’s best is how versatile is for daytime, a sexy night out or even lounging around. (hello tees)
Have a wonderful long weekend and in the meantime, I will continue marveling about this ‘marni’ficient pop-up.

Mango Fashion presented Kate Moss as the new face of the Mango Fashion Spring/Summer 2012 campaign.
In an exclusive interview Kate Moss talk about the great time she has had being part of Mango Fashion and working with Terry Richardson “I’m really excited to be working with Mango for S/S 2012, we had a great time shooting the campaign, the team are so easy to work with and shooting with Terry is always fun.” MANGO Fashion has also produced a new TV commercial featuring Kate Moss, called Spy Game. Shot under the direction of Terry Richardson in London, the film will be launched in early March in approximately forty countries, including France, Germany, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
MANGO fashion has a reputation for featuring models and actresses of international stature and Kate Moss is the perfect choice to take over from Isabeli Fontana who was the face of the A/W 2011 collection. In the past MANGO has also worked with Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, Milla Jovovich, Lizzy Jagger, Karolina Kurkova, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Inés Sastre, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington and Diane Kruger.
The new season MANGO Fashion trends include graphic contrasts between clean and unstructured lines. As a variation to the cleanliness of lines, the collection has a clear 60’s influence, particularly in the dresses. Lightweight, pleated and gathered fabrics offer movement and present a fresh, flirty and feminine touch. MANGO is also introducing a more casual line, bringing together ethnic elements and blending them with sportswear details to give a very simple, strong urban look. Tie-dye, abstract prints and patchwork in indigo and yellow tones with unwashed effects reinforce the casual appeal.
MANGO Fashion opened its first store in Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia in 1984 and now has over 2,400 stores in 107 countries. Its concept is based on a quality fashion product combined with the latest fashion trends at an affordable price. The brand image is reinforced by its stores, which benefit from a dynamic image in accordance with the personality of its customers, and represent the calling card for the brand. The new Kate Moss campaign was photographed by Terry Richardson, styled by Géraldine Saglio, Make Up by Charlotte Tilbury and Hair Stylist Odile Gilbert

After extensive blog research from the Ryzenberg On investigative unit, (OK, me) there are many things that stylish gals covet that go beyond clothes, shoes and baubles. But let me make something clear, we can never have enough of the aforementioned items.
However, since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, sometimes it’s the little things that make us smile and anything pretty will always wow us. We love good fresh smells, (perfumes, candles and flowers) anything sumptuous (warning: this one might follow a ‘do I look fat or have I gained weight’ ponder) and soft (puppies and kittens, please apply.)
So if you are looking to impress your girl of BFF, here are a few ideas that might make you one lucky dog, not just on Feb. 14 for year-round bliss. Oh yeah, and leave the lingerie for us to get, but if you really want a preview, make a date so that way Victoria doesn’t hold any secrets.

Ryzenberg On: Spotted — Céline Luggage Shopper Tote
There is a new bag du jour in the fashionsphere. Céline’s Luggage Shopper Tote is amongst the most coveted items for celebs, models, editors and anyone with a keen sense of style.
So why is all of the sudden this Parisian house, famous for its polished looks, so sought-after? Well that’s simple, its creative director Phoebe Philo (formerly at Chloé) revived the brand and created an accessories line that usually steals the show during Paris Fashion Week. Another notable Celiné designer is Michael Kors, who in the late 1990s, was named the first womenswear and ready-to-wear designer and creative director. He developed several blockbuster collections and a critically acclaimed pret-a-porter line.
The brand has been around since 1945 and has kept its equestrian chic feel for decades. This is certainly a simple well-made bag that is versatile and timeless. It comes in several sizes and colors and will elevate a look to understated elegance.
When Céline debuted this purse in 2009, it was sold out for months and many were placed on wait lists worldwide. Now, although some colors are hard to find, you can find a piece of handbag heaven at Saks, Neiman Marcus, Barneys and other upscale stores.
But if you think it doesn’t come with a hefty price tag, THINK AGAIN. The line starts at about $1,000 and can go to as high as $3,500, so get ready to dish out the dough!
This is definitely some fabulous baggage you’ll want to carry.
