MATTHEW WILLIAMSON AT H&M - Shanghai


I got up INSANELY early today to wait in line to purchase pieces from the Matthew Williamson H&M collection. The store opened at 10 - I was already waiting in line by 8. There were already a good 15 people ahead of me in line. The girl infront of me had the most amazing pair of circular Chanel sunglasses - but sadly she did not want her picture taken.

At 8:30 the line behind me looked like this:



Sadly I couldn't get pictures of the whole line seeing as I was waiting in line myself

The doors opened promptly at 10 AM - and there was a mad rush up the escalators - since the collection was on the second floor. In all the haste - a very rude woman nearly pushed me off the escalator!!

I would say items stayed on the floor for about 3 to 4 minutes, and by 10:05 every single rack was empty.

Here's a quick snapshot of the commotion - sorry about the bad quality pic guys ( i was clutching onto my pieces for dear life )



After making a few switches with other shoppers, I happily headed toward the register with all the items that I wanted to get, and they even came in this nice matthew williamson bag!



This is what I came home with:



I'm pretty very satisfied and I'm pretty excited to style all of these pieces!

I will be heading to Beijing until Monday, so I don't think I'll be able to make any blog posts till then - but I shall leave you with a quick snapshot of what I wore today



( F21 top, H&M harem pants, Express belt, Charles david sandals )

Till monday! <3

ps. I hope you all like the new Lily Cole banner - she's one of my favorite models!

    She was wearing converse and a stripped red t-shirt with jeans.
    Very cool girl.

  12. Do you think that the Matthew Williams clothes you bought will work to clean my toilets well? Make sure you scrub well, I had burritos for dinner last night.
