woke up today with the start of a migraine. there goes another weekend wasted, and it hasn't even started yet. called in sick and downed a couple of pills to hopefully get rid of it. early afternoon it's still there but not worse so i thought i'd take a couple more pills and take a breath of fresh air (let's just pretend for a sec that it's possible here in hong kong's central district). i thought i'd walk to ifc so i packed an impulse purchase (a beanie, from agnes b., a wee bit too small for my ginormous head) i did last weekend to return it for a refund.
a block down my building a crowd was watching mannequins of h&m's display window getting dressed, so i looked and saw that they're preparing the window for the sale of lanvin-h&m crossover. something to do this week. they open at 8am tho. too early. last time i went to an h&m collab sale (with comme des garçons, in germany) there were very few items left an hour after opening. people get crazy in these events.
i went to agnes b. and returned the beanie, only they don't give cash refund, so i ended up getting something else to use up the credit - a cardigan and a t-shirt - and paying a lot more. that's me and my f*cked up idea of being wise with money. return an impulse buy that i don't really need, and end up getting more stuff that are more expensive. at least my migraine was starting to go away.

Hi! Just buy the real Lanvin :-)
ha! if i had your kind of money, i would ;)
I don't know what is wrong,my mind or H&M..that is the only shop that I visit often but haven't bought anything from there yet,be it in hongkong or here in toronto....
it's very affordable and trendy but the quality is bad. it's the perfect place to get things from if you just want to try the current look. if you don't like it after wearing it a couple of times, you don't have to do anything, it'll just disintegrate on its own. if you find that it suits you, you can go buy properly made version from better quality shops.
