Today is the day,

You can officially shop at H&M for Maison Martin Margiela collection. At 8:00 a.m. lines were wrapped around the corners for the lunch of this reasonable collection. After school, I’ll be at the State Street store location picking up an item just because. I encourage you to do the same.

Blazers are awesome, N you should know that. They are the piece of clothing that would put any look together when it is N desperate need. To dress up a blazer you can utilize pendants, scarfs, N belts of all shapes N sizes. During our daily fashion research, we’ve been spotting different types of blazers with a masculine twist to them, a tuxedo.

Tuxedo blazers are trendy and for some reason we don’t know if Janelle Monae have inspired designers or what. N stores though, they are doing an excellent job by adding the masculine look to the garment to be fitted for females. As you should know, it is best to have seasonal blazers all year around N of course, a black classic one. Below you can find blazers ranging from different prices N designers. Enjoy, N remember to always buy a blazer occasionally while out shopping.

What caught my eyes this week on Women’s Wear’s Daily, a fashion incubator website is Louis Vuitton Women’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection designed by Marc Jacobs. Jacobs dominates solid colors N put their design logo to use in his collection, which I believe is highly needed for those two seasons. Below you can find photos of some of our favorite pieces N also the runway show above.

It’s offical that PrettyNDope is relaunching, me and @_rawrbitchie is sorry for our monthly absences but we are back like never before Me, BeBe is now a transfer student at Columbia College Chicago Studying fashion design N Jamika is a senior at Clark Atlanta University majoring in fashion business.

As cousins N Dopians, which is what we love to be called, we are ready to stay in contact N most of all keep up with our Dopians through fashion, designers, boutiques, N much more. Fall is here N most of all designers have already launched their Autumn/Winter collections N here what’s Dope.

H&M has collaborated with Maison Martin Margiela to produce a full collection of clothing that we personally cannot pass up. You might remember Margiela’s name being mentioned on Kanye and Jay-Z’s track “Nigga in Paris, but now you get to witness his fashionable empire with the rest of the world at a cheaper price.

Prices ranges from $13-$399 N the collections will be available to the public this Thursday, November 15th. Take a look below as I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with the collection like we are. XO, - PND #Margielas
