Lanvin Loser

Lanvin for H&M hits the UK stores tomorrow. There is chat of budding fashionistas camping out overnight and it is without doubt they are set for a stampede of stylish shoppers come 9am tomorrow morning.

Since my initial excitement at the Lanvin announcement I have avoided blogging about the Lanvin H&M collaboration. In fact, it depresses me ever so slightly to read about it.

Why you ask?
Well, tomorrow at 9am I will be stuck in a dreary office nestled on the River Clyde and my husband will no doubt be mid-air hovering over Europe somewhere. Neither of us anywhere near an H&M store, neither of us within reach of this gorgeous, to-die-for collection.

I could head into town after work but chances are all the good stuff will be gone and certainly all the sizes I require will be out the door in a flash. Hmmmph :(

So, I guess I couldn't put it off any longer. I did eye up the promo images, I did pick out my favourites and I might as well live a little bit of Lanvin through my blog even if I won't be able to bag one of my top picks.


From the faux fur jacket to the 1950's esque full skirted dress, everything in the collection is feminine, elegant, gorgeous and just a little bit edgy. Frills, puffs, nipped in waists and a gorgeous colour palette ... getting in on the action would be a little bit of Heaven but alas I will need to make do with living vicariously through the many bloggers who will manage to hot foot it down to H&M tomorrow.

So go on, tell me ... what are your top picks and what will you be racing through the aisles for?

Form an orderly queue girls ... Ooh La Lanvin!

Ah H&M, you never fail to impress me.

Lanvin ... yup you heard me right ... the excrutiatingly expensive and super chic fashion house will be collaborating with H&M to bring what I hope will be a wonderful and an all time favourite high street collection for the brand.


H&M's collaboration with Jimmy Choo wasn't as exciting as I expected, neither was Cavalli or even Sonia Rykiel who I had high hopes ... but Lanvin ... that's exciting!!

They will bring luxe, quality and sophistication to the H&M brand?!


I simply cannot wait. Lanvin create the finest of clothes with the most beautiful detail that one can usually just ogle at on the catwalk but for once and maybe the only time in my wee life, it will actually be attainable! *Swoon*



The collection will be available in stores from November 23rd and I expect an immediate sell out.

I just don't do ebay so shall we start queuing now?
