designer crush: mina+olya

Dress: c/o Mina + Olya; Shoes: J.W. Anderson X Aldo; Bag: Opening Ceremony; Jewelry: Dannijo necklace; Sunglasses: Elizabeth & James

This dress made it's debut earlier this week for the Maison Martin Margiela X H&M press shopping event (where I may or may not have scored the obnoxiously large candy wrapper clutch). The color and full skirt alone definitely made this a crowd favorite at both work and while shopping -- which lead me to gush to just about anyone who woud listen to me about the San Francisco based designer duo behind it, Mina + Olya. Imagine my delight though when I randomly ran into Olya herself at H&M (rocking a totally enviable short curly bob!). So great meeting you, Olya and for those of you who haven't checked out their designs, I highly recommend you start clicking over to here. Think sophisticated separates with a dash of modern retro flare (and all eco-friendly methods and organic fabrics to boot!). I currently have my eye on this dress in forest green and this jacket in cobalt blue. Both would make for great investment pieces to last through the seasons, don't you think?
