Hello lovely Readers!
It is widely known that yesterday would be an exciting day waiting for the night sky to be lit up for Bonfire Night/ Guy Fawkes night but for the world of fashion, the 5th of November has been much anticipated.
Billboards May 2015 |
The one and only Balmain x HM Release.
Boy, have I been waiting! From the moment Olivier Rousteing, Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn walked onto that red carpet back in May I knew I had to have something from that collection.
Once it got closer and the prices were released (That beaded blazer, my fave from the collection, was £300!!) I became a little reluctant, but when you think about it, thats actually a fraction of the price of what it would be retailing for if it was normal Balmain.
Top 3 (in my price range)! |
With much perseverance and determination I got my mom on board and we both worked out a plan to get a piece.With a budget in mind I targeted my top 3 choices and brought it down to these (see left).
I can't tell you the stress I felt yesterday morning, with uni I couldn't leave to try get it in stores. From what I hear it was complete mayhem so its just as well! I phoned H&M about 108 times, refreshed over possibly 200 times AND even had my team of specialist volunteers helping me out, which I am forever thankful for!
Finally we got through, ordered the velvet green dress but with my luck there were some problems and turns out I didn't get it. The lady over the phone was so kind after I showed my disappointment and she was able to process an order for the fur coat! I AM SOOOOOO HAPPPYYY AND SO EXCITED!!
Hopefully Santa will let me have it before Christmas, but I really won't push it! Just knowing I securely have it is all I need for the time being!
Many people don't understand my obsession or why this collaboration is such a big deal but all I can say to that is : If you know, you know!
Can't wait to be twinning with Kendall! |
