Most of the time, I love my job and I'm quite alright with the 9 to 5 sitting at the desk routine. Doesn't bother me at all. Except on days when H&M is releasing a fab-u-lous collection. On April 23, the Matthew Williamson for H&M collection drops and it makes me wish I was a still a student who could cut class to stay in line and join the melee. In my 2.5 years in NY, I've never joined the hoardes at H&M but I've never been insanely determined to get anything. But there are some pieces that I really like this time, and it annoys me that I'm this goody toe shoes who can't play hooky to line up.
When did designer collabs get so darn pricey? Wasn't the point to make their pieces more affordable for the masses? At this point, I might as well just shop the contemporary section at Bloomie's rather than fight it out with the hordes at H&M. And good lord, at those prices, imagine how steep the markups will be at Ebay? Yikes.

ha ha ha you took the words right outta my mouth re: ebay....those prices are nuts. Wasn't the point of stores like H&M, Topshop..etc, to bridge the gap between fashionable and affordable?
MWAH!

Totally!!!! I can't believe there are $300 dresses at H&M now. What has the world come to?!
I was one of those crazy people who lined up for the H&M + CDG collab. Store manager scolded me when I started peeling a jacket off a mannequin. Hahaha. Btw, Repetto & Tory Burch SS coming soon (TB starts on May 31 Sunday so you don't have to skip work):

Thanks for the reminder! I'm totally hitting up that sale ... if the move doesn't put me in serious debt, that is.
