Those black and gold shoes?? Ugh, to die for! 

Marant gave fans some insight as to how this collection will be designed in the latest interview with H&M:

I realized that the best thing to do for H&M would be the pieces that I love the most… I picked out things I have in my own wardrobe that I’d never want to lose. They’re like my treasures, and I wanted to share them with H&M.

My heart skipped a beat when I found out French fashion label, Isabel Marant, known for her cool and care free Parisian chic-ness has teamed up with H&M!  Isabel Marant is every cool girl's dream wardrobe at a very steep price.  Her laid-back boho yet edgy look made her a hit among trendsetters. I love browsing her collection unfortunately only to be turned away by the price.  However, the collection for H&M should be priced similarly to past collaborations making it very accessible for budget-conscious fashion lovers.  My imagination is running wild with all the possibilities!  I cannot wait to see the looks from the collaboration because I know it will be amazing!
