fter all the anticipation on trying to snag myself a dress from Lanvin for H&M, I was only able to get a necklace and a lipstick. It went on sale this morning at 8am and I dragged myself out of bed to get there at 6:00am. I got there at 5:50am and I was surprised to see that the lineup was already quite long. The H&M staff gave everyone a bracelet with different colours for the different times that we were able to get to the collection. Mine was at 10:00am. I thought that I would at least be able to get something, but as each group went in before me my hopes began to die. So many Asian girls bought bags and bags of Lanvin clothing/accessories. I almost wanted to yell at them, "Don't take my dress!" It was so stressful seeing the dresses before your very eyes, but not be able to have access to it. These girls even brought their boyfriends to grab all the stuff for them. Grrrrr. By the time I went in all the pieces that I wanted were gone. I was able to try on 2 dresses, but they were too tight on me so I reluctantly gave it to the girl who was waiting in line behind me. I didn't want to leave empty-handed so I grabbed the only lipstick and necklace that was left. On the positive side I did really like what I got. I'm planning to go to H&M all next week to see if anyone returned any of the dresses that I wanted. Fingers crossed!
Aren't the bags just delightful?
Here's a close-up shot.
The necklace came in this beautiful box. I just loved how Alber Elbaz didn't skimp out on the quality of the boxes and bags to make his designs available for the masses. Plus, all the clothing were made really well.
Here's my necklace. It has a toggle clasp on the faux leather that you can adjust it to different lengths. It's combined with chain and faux pearls. It's actually pretty cute on.
I don't normally wear red lipsticks, but I think this is a collectors item. I love the packaging!
Can't wait to try this on.
It's a blue red. Not sure if it'll look good on me, but who cares! It's Lanvin!
