I (still) want Lanvin

For his latest Lanvin spring 2012 collection, Alber Elbaz designed for the ultimate power woman—bold shoulders, high-hugging pencil-skirt silhouetted in perfection—that doesn't dress for a typical work day. And of course, what would Lanvin be without some draped dresses. From sheer and pleated details to not so typical-Lanvin embellishments (note Miranda Kerr's look with coiled python!), the fusion of corporate and 'goddess' makes for a stellar collection.

While the anticipation for the Lanvin collaboration with H&M is at its peak for a lot of people, after viewing the photos from the fashion show, I'm "on to the next one" a la Jay Z's song. Although a lot of dresses would be great for New Year's Eve parties & some cocktail parties, it's a little flamboyant for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I love everything from the presentation, the creative ads, to a lot of the looks, but I don't see myself actually wearing it (excluding the dresses I posted on top, which I love). I like to be sincere when I post photos on my blog, and not base it primarily on the hype. Will any of you guys be visiting H&M stores up & early tomorrow? Let me know how that goes !
