Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

damn...I wonder if they'll even be available here.

I think they'll be selling these online, too, which is a first. However, you're going to get a lot of people snapping them up and then re-selling them on eBay for triple the price (happened with Cavalli - I think within an hour of the collection going live).

If Jilli needs, I'll probably be making a run down to our H&M on the day - I could pick up something for you, too. I fear no crazed fashionista.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Commes de Garcons designs for H&M. Just... wow.

Uh. Huh. I do NOT get fashion.

For instance, I have never seen a woman wear pants like this: [link] except back in high school when we flipped our sweatshirts upsidedown and wore them as leggings under our uniform skirts to piss off the nuns.

But -- those pants! They're not flattering. What am I not getting?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Uh. Huh. I do NOT get fashion.

Try not to let the hair and make-up distract you. Or the saggy-knee jodhpurs. That said, I think the only two pieces I really like are the pea coat and the dress, but they are both lovely.

Those are what I like - the rest is too conceptual for me. (And I don't even know that I'd wear the dress, but I'd rock the coat.)

I think I also like the black zippered jacket but would need to see it in person to be sure. I really like the pea coat but then I realized it's nearly identical to a trench I own, just in a heavier fabric.

hah! Thanks! With H & M I never know about sizing though. I always have to try on.

But -- those pants! They're not flattering. What am I not getting?

hah! yeah a dropped crotch is not flattering on anyone. I love the color palette and the polka dots and the dress & jacket that juliana liked too.

And I just like the idea of high-end designers making things that are affordable to the hoi polloi.

In other news of things I like! New pastry restaurant opening in my 'hood this weekend!!!

Did Dangerously Delicious Pies ever open?

It is open. I have...opinions about it. I think his sweet pies are too sweet. Except for the fruit ones. But he only was offering apple the night I went in and i really think he should have seasonal fruit pies! Come on! It's berry season!

but the apple pie was delicious as was the chicken pie I had (although cold in the middle, it reheated nicely though).

There is nothing from that collection that I am interested in. Dear H&M, I think you should do a special collection designed by Vivenne Westwood. THAT would be awesome.
