Hannah Kristina Metz' Wuthering Heights Collection

Wednesday, June 22, 2016


Hannah Kristina Metz, the multitalented designer behind H.K.M., has released her second collection - this time based on one of my favorite novels, Wuthering Heights.

The collection, which features ghostly hands, whispers of "haunt me", matching pins, and structured silhouettes - perfectly brings to life the novel it was inspired by, and I am of course, completely smitten!

I am equally smitten by the beautiful accompanying lookbook, which I just had to share ♡

ASOS Curve F/W 2015 with GabiFresh

Thursday, August 6, 2015

I had to share this lookbook from ASOS Curve! Not only is the clothing adorable, but I was so happy to see the line modeled by one of my absolute favorite ladies - Gabi from GabiFresh who is absolutely stunning and a sweetheart to boot!

I love the rich jewel tones and 60s/70s silhouettes, accessories and fabrics - is anybody else loving the 70s trend at the moment? My heart is singing for an a-line button up skirt...!








HKM SS 2015

Tuesday, June 16, 2015

Before I even started Mermaidens, Hannah Metz was one of the first "bloggers" I admired - I would see her modeling, photography, and generally beautiful outfit snaps all over Livejournal communities, flickr, and WeHeartIt (what you might call the original Pinterest...)! For years now, Hannah has remained one of my favorite creators for her clear, flawlessly executed aesthetic and endlessly inspiring projects.

Now, Hannah has added "womenswear designer" to her long list of accomplishments (including photographer, stylist, lingerie designer, model...) with the release of the summer collection for her brand new project, HKM! I don't usually post lookbooks, but when I fall 100% in love, I can't help but share my excitement! Sheer fabrics, embroidery, eye and tear motifs - this collection is like somebody plucked pieces right out of my dreams...!

Samantha Pleet Fall/Winter 2014

Friday, January 9, 2015

As the weather continues to be dreary and bitterly cold, I'm setting my sights on clothing with thicker fabrics and richer color schemes - clothing I can imagine myself exploring chilly moors wearing (or y'know, walking down the street without losing the feeling in my legs! *cough* I've read too many books by Bronte sisters...).

Enter Samantha Pleet's Fall/Winter 2014 collection: inspired by Joan of Arc, the collection includes pieces with gorgeous, intricate embroidery (featuring hearts, crowns, arrows, and moons), a dress with an attached cape (!!), and a beautiful blouse with an embroidered arrow on a heart pocket.

I had to share some photos of my favorites - as shot by the incredibly talented Amber Byrne Mahoney and worn by Nika De Carlo - a favorite model!

Samantha Pleet SS15 Lookbook

Friday, October 17, 2014


I didn't think I could love Samantha Pleet's designs any more - and then I saw the new SS15 collection…! Bubblegum walls, cotton candy carpet, and pastel fixtures surround the beautiful models decked out in scalloped yellow matching sets, denim bell bottoms, and swimsuits decorated in seashells.

My favorite pieces would have to be the blue matching set and dress above - that sheer overlay fabric with sparkles is nothing short of a dream come true and reminds me of the blue fairy in Disney's Pinocchio *__*

I hope you have a great weekend! <3
