Roland Mouret for Banana Republic

When I first heard about Roland Mouret’s capsule collection for Banana Republic I was thrilled! You can see Roland Mouret dresses on my favorite television characters on shows from White Collar and Revenge to Mistresses and Suits. The dresses are gorgeous, but not really in my price range…until now!

Roland Mouret’s 30-piece capsule collection launches today at Banana Republic and I have no doubt that it will sell out fast, so you want to make sure to buy early. All of the pieces are made from Banana Republic’s Sloan fabric which is stretchy and clings to every curve.

Don’t be afraid to hunt down your favorites on eBay. I’ve done that with the last few limited edition collection and had great results.

Here are my favorite pieces from the collection:

Sloan Sheath Dress in Black or Pink ($140)

Banana Republic’s Issa London Collection is Here!

Banana Republic’s Issa London Collection is finally here! For those of you that love Kate Middleton’s style as much as I do, this is your chance to get her look for less. Banana Republic and Issa London (the designer that brought you Kate Middleton’s iconic blue engagement dress in 2010) have teamed up to create a limited-edition capsule collection called the Issa London Collection.

The collection contains 40 pieces of apparel and accessories, including a replica of the Duchess of Cambridge’s blue engagement dress. I can’t wait to get my favorite pieces. Here are my picks from the collection:

Issa Collection Three-Quarter Sleeve Wrap-Tie Dress ($130):

As I am writing this, I have already purchased and tried on this dress and let me tell you it looks fantastic! The blue one is sold out on Banana Republic’s website, but I will let you in on a little secret. You can buy all of these pieces on eBay. I actually purchased my dress there. Many retailers sell these limited edition collections as brand new pieces and you can still buy them after the collection is sold out. This includes the Prabal Gurung and Jason Wu for Target Collections which I have also been hunting on eBay. I just did a search and there are 84 of these available on eBay and I’m sure that number will only go up. You can click here to shop for your size.

I will probably get this one in black because I need a versatile black dress. I do like the green color though.

These are my favorite pieces and I am hoping to have them all in the next month or so. They would be the perfect start to my fall wardrobe!

A few celebrities have also been seen wearing the Issa London Collection including Naomi Watts and Emmy Rossum. Naomi Watts was spotted in the Issa Collection Red Ceramic Printed Three-Quarter Sleeve Dress ($140) which is sold out. There are a few on eBay now and I’m sure there will be more soon.
