H&M COLLABORATION WITH ISABEL MARANT

It's All Gone

Yup if you have not heard the collection came and was snapped up by eager shoppers almost immediately.

Guilty and I admit that I did went to the H&M store to check out what the fuss was all about. I was there at almost ten in the morning thinking that I am early. Ha ha ha. I usually don't do this kind of thing but I do like Isabel Marant and her not so affordable high end collection (if you are lucky you may be able to get an item at your size at a discounted price which will still set you back at like US500 per pair of jeans).

I was told that there were crazy people who were lining up outside the store at five in the morning. Urmm, no thanks. By the time I was at the store the 'ever so popular jacket' was no longer available. It is not cheap at RM1300 but guess what, .... it's gone. I only had to intention to try it on and not to purchase it. But it's OK, it will creep up on E-Bay in a week's time or so.

Check out the news about the Isabel Marant for H&M launch in other countries here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2507088/Hysteria-H-M-shoppers-queue-4am-STILL-miss-Isabel-Marant--eBay-already.html

However, I did manage to get a few items.

I love the canvas bags that comes with the purchase of the goods.

I bought three children sized sweaters, two pairs of jeans and a pair of canvas shoes.

Crown Princess of Sweden in 'the Isabel Marant for H&M Jacket' at least one month before it was launched worldwide.

I was eyeing the leather pants however it just doesn't work for me so I saved RM999 and I did not even manage to try on the suede booties priced at RM699 which were gone before ten a.m.

I think I better start to save some money waiting for Net-A-Porter year end sale as I have my eyes set on a pair of Isabel's Hidden Wedge Boots which is always out of stock.

Actually why do I even need a pair of boots seriously...... hmmmm.

No more shopping.

JUMPSUITS

All In One

Who doesn't like the ease of selecting workable clothes especially in the morning when you have to prepare yourself for work and your son for school and making sure the baby is still fast asleep or you may end up having to entertain another child who wants to be carried all the time.

I love jumpsuits but it is really impossible to find any good looking ones in KL unless you want to pay or bomb but it is still difficult. Most nicely made jumpsuits are designed brands made and the made is more suitable to Caucasian height (I'm not that tall but at 165cm, I think it's standard Asian height.) I have bought (Asian styled) jumpsuits and it does not fit me too well as well, the crotch area is too short and I think it's meant for those shorter than 165 centimetres seriously.

However I have come across a few good ones, and i do think that BCBG makes really good fitting jumpsuits (though you may still need to alter the length even though you may be wearing four inch heels). Yet they cost too much and you cannot really wear jumpsuits for a whole day as toilet visits in jumpsuits is such a drag. You practically have to undress yourself just to pee. In any manner it's a really no brainer attire and I still do love them regardless.
