 luxelove

Mr. Luxe and I have been donating to the charity Born Free since 2009.

.

They’re aiming to end mother-to-child HIV transmission globally by Dec.31.2015

And I’ve a luxe moral compass. With magpie tendencies

So this colab gets me excited

and not just team SHOPBOP, team VOGUE have joined forces too

It’s luxe. It costs less. It’s win win.

So I’ve done my research….

They’ve garnered support in the shape of some right fash pack royalty. 22 current catwalk designing heavyweights. A covetable line-up including Isabel Marant, Chloé, Prada and my personal favourite brit babe Victoria Beckham.

Each of them asked to rustle up pieces for mother AND child – but let’s face it, we’re only really interested in mother luxe – aren’t we?

.

So Dear Mr. Luxe.

Here’s my shopping list:

.

Chloé – The MUST season buy

a84a01a2a755dccf210686c2144f541eb258db7c13228922ebad274be407a7a0

Clare Waight Keller for Chloé top and shorts

Top £120.00 Shorts £86.00

A super luxe print exclusive to Born Free – designed by Kenyan artist Wangechi Mutu – it luxe good! #gimmegimme

.

Victoria Victoria Beckham – the likely SELL OUT

a660ba99f948529f965640909169d856 449172358f4130bdea698d95eb357ce7

Mother and Daughter matchy matchy

Big girl £136.00 Little girl £74.00

I predict this pairing most likely to fly straight into the clutches of ebayers and promptly sky-rocket in price.

Luxe it or lose out.

.

Prada – the INVESTMENT

6b04a4f8c4e7d92a9318e679f414d07d

Fraction of the price alert

With new-season Prada pieces costing anywhere from £400+ it’s a steal at £150.00. Non?

My fashionista sister Glenda – currently luxing Vietnam – will no doubt have already swiped this one onto her Amex.

A++++’s for Miuccia – she knows her way around an A line alright.

.

Isabel Marant – a sigh of relief for those who missed the H&M colab back in November

f6865623c025b7b3a01c56aef3d623f0

Yep. Wannabe peasant girls with internet access can buy into a slice of Marant.

Of the moment. Off the hook.

A snip with Big girl costing £117.00 and Peasant poppet only £60.00

Girl’s let’s do our bit and put our money where our morals are – every penny spent on this peasant blouse counts.

.

While you’re at it, take a peek at Elle’s edit. I think Shopbop’s fash editor Elle has my summer wrapped up – in luxe denim.

.

*There is plenty more. Marchesa, Marni even McCartney makes an appearance. I could list them all.

But I do have a life… maybe xXx
