After what has felt like an interminable wait, the Marni for H&M collaboration launches today—which means we can stop with all the lusting, and finally get to the actual shopping. But here's the thing about high-low designer collabs: While the pieces are way less expensive than regular designer garments, they're not exactly dirt cheap, either. If you're not careful, you can end up with a pile of clothes that adds up to a sizable chunk of change. We're speaking from personal experience here. So this time around, we gave ourselves a reasonably generous budget of $200 to stick to. Here's what your Racked editors are hoping to score with it, after the jump.

Our LA Editor is after the brocade top ($79.95). "I saw Sophia Coppola wearing this with the matching pants at the Marni for H&M party in LA and she looked amazing. I mean, she looked like she was wearing pajamas—but fabulous, gold brocade pajamas. I'd wear it with a black skirt or distressed jeans," she told us. On the heels ($99)? "These are amazing. Not too over the top, but with a subtle pop of color. That heel height might kill me though." And the necklace ($49.95): "Okay, this isn't the type of thing you could wear every day but it's really fun. It'd look great with a very simple outfit." (Note to our LA editor: You're $30 over budget, girl friend.)

Our National Editor (that would be me) is seriously into this leather shirt ($149). Personally, I'd rather spend $150 on one big item that I really love and will wear the hell out of than multiple smaller items. With the left over $50, I'm going for the bracelets ($19.95–$29.95) and scarves ($19.95). Any of them—they're all great.

Our Associate Editor, who is actually at the NYC flagship right this very moment, has her eye on the color-block dress ($79.95) and accessories to go with. "The sandals ($59.95) look like actual Marni sandals, and the bracelet ($19.95) is just the right amount of gaudy to complete the look," she said.
