Hmm

I don't know why is all I can say. I don't know what drew my eye to this, a Versace Cruise design for H&M priced £34.99.

From the moment I saw it I loved it. I didn't go to the shop nor did I try to buy it online on the day the collection went live. The following day I was checking items online for a style event and I happened, I repeat happened to perchance upon above item. Before you could say Donatella Versace I'd clicked and paid for it and it should arrive tomorrow.

Given my propensity to ignore, lambaste and generally ignore all the hype over designer collaboration on any level, I've officially shocked myself. Of course it is true than when I heard about the Marni collaboration I was dancing in the streets. My love of Marni knows no bounds. But equally I'm not surprised that I've fallen for another Italian label's offering at H&M because I freely admit to being a faux/wannabe Italian and when I was teaching yesterday a student asked me would I choose Paris or Milan to go and see the shows. My answer was despite the fact Valentino shows in Paris it would be Milan.

I will post a picture of myself in it if it passes muster and I keep it when it arrives...to be continued...

  5. It's lovely! I always view H&M collaborations with suspicion (after all they are usually pure high street H&M in all but name and price) but every now and then they chuck an item out there which just grabs the eye! And then I have to buy!

  6. It is really cute, a nice bright blue pair of jeans will look nice with it, red heels and clutch, go on go for it!

  7. It's kind of Andy Warhol meets slot machine (is that term used in England?), if you'll permit me to attempt to characterize its charm. And the shirt is indeed charming and fun!
