so i know that 99.3819274% of fashion bloggers have already blogged about this topic, but i still have to say that i really wanted a lot of things from the comme des garçons for h&m line. to my horror, i had classes that morning when the collection came out, which left me ranting and bitching for a few hours. thankfully, a good friend of mine had no classes that morning, and he went to wait in line outside the stores at 6 in the morning!
i sent him a short list of things to buy for me, with whatever money he had left after his own shopping. he was 5th in line to go in but unfortunately, by the time he could grab some girls’ clothes for me, most of what i wanted was already gone. in fact, i wanted the polka dot bag and frock coat so badly, but my boss from patricia field who went to the press release said that it was gone by then. huh! that sucks!
so my friend got for me the black polka dot scarf, as well as the white shirt with ruffled sleeves. which i am very happy with and eternally grateful for. when my morning class ended at 12, i took a cab to the nearest h&m and there was nothing much left but i managed to get myself a red cardigan, long-sleeve teeshirt and a hat. i know what you’re thinking – they are all full of polka dots! yes, if you haven’t noticed by now, i have a lot of clothes with stripes, plaid and polka dots! i am a walking fashion taboo.
did you guys manage to get anything? show me your loot! and if you managed to get the frock coat, i am going to steal it from you when you are asleep.
by the way, i also went and got my hair done. i had like an inch of dark brown, overgrown roots for the longest time and it was killing me. i wore hats everyday! i had no time to get it touched up, which is another poor excuse for not taking any photos. haha! you want another excuse? i’ve piled on some pounds because of that stupid nutella in my pantry. UGH.

Damn, I wish there was an H&M in Mexico right now!
Question about your hair…did you get painful blisters from the bleaching?
I’m dying to bleach all my hair blonde…but even when I did only half my head, it was sheer torture…so..yea xD.
Adorable! Glad to see you back lovely.
WOW…a blondie
Oooh I love your new hair colour – it suits you so well!
And yay for the Comme goodies! I could just imagine how crazy it would have gotten.
Your hair looks great and I love the polka-dots!

i can’t believe there still isn’t one in mexico. i don’t shop all the time but whenever i go in a store, i do come away buying something. it’s pretty well-made and cheap! CHEAP! sorry didn’t mean to rub it in your face
+quynh+
did you bleach your hair yourself? i don’t recommend that unless you have 360degree mirrors and really know what you’re doing. you need to go to a proper hair stylist who isn’t going to rub bleach directly on your scalp and yet can put it close enough to get most of your hair. i usually wash my hair everyday or every other day, but before i get my hair bleached, i definitely don’t wash it the day before. this is so that your natural oils from your scalp will protect it. i don’t know how you got blisters but that’s really bad. ouch!!! if you’re doing it all right and still getting blisters, you might just be allergic to the strong bleach and maybe you need to always do patch tests?

thank you!!! i’m really happy to be back too.
+werther+
yes?

i saw pictures of when the doors just opened and it was really insane. i went at noon at there were still tons of people!
+vixel+
god i love love LOVE polka dots! wheee!
+cheray natalie+
you can get them from blik.com! i love it! i have them in several places in my apartment. i think you can get similar wall decals elsewhere for cheaper, but blik seems to be a good company and i can trust that it isn’t gonna ruin my walls when i peel it off!
+kaz+
oh my god did you really??? which one?? i hope you love it!!
+miss corrine+
thank you so much! you seem to be doing really well too!
+fabulously broke+
awww shucks thanks. ;D
+katy+
the line is awesome! i want everything so bad.
+y+
aww hahahah thank you! yeah, i really haven’t blogged for so long. it’s good to be back!
Yea…I went to a stylist. Oh well, maybe I am just not meant to have blonde hair. xD
+quynh+
oh wow are you serious? maybe erm… maybe you need to change your stylist! it really shouldn’t happen. and the moment it starts hurting, you really need to tell them so they can wash it off. i think prolonged pain = the possibility that you might damage hair follicles and hair might stop growing!??!
Yea! I bought the Diary clutch – the leather is so beautiful and soft!!!! I love it so much – It’s my first designer bag and I was so happy when I saw the Dust Bag!! (You know its expensive when it comes with a Dust Bag!) hehe!
the red polka dot sweater is perfect for you! I tried for a scarf, but just missed out on the last one –
your friend did very good for you!
nice new home!!!! Hapy holdays!! ;D
last time i visited, i’m pretty sure your hair wasn’t blond but it looks really good! glad you could score some of your CDG wishlist.
i didn’t get squat – i am such a moron, i didn’t think it would sell out. i went to pick up the drop crotch pants a week or so later, and was mega disappointed.
booooooo!
aww cute! I wish we had H & M here too
your hair looks great btw!
Hey fellow SGporean, I saw your comment on my blog and am positively mortified that I have not noticed it for so long! Yikes
As for the CDG for H&M collection, I wanted one of the asymmetrical jackets so badly, but there wasn’t one near where I lived that carried the collection and the prices on eBay are crazy! So congrats on your loot and you look great as blonde.
Awesome wall stickers…. and what type of style are you gonna go for with your hair? I love it already how it is!
ahh gilda it is so nice to see you back and blogging. it’s so nice to sit down and read your post after an 8 hour flight.
loving the new hair and polka dots are too cute not to wear somewhere! the wall stickers are adorable!
happy new year gilda!
It’s nice to relive the excitement of that..week haha.
Let’s look forward to the next high street x designer collaboration. Who will it be…
the new color looks good
I love your CDG cardigan, it looks wonderful! I wanted one but they were all sold out on my last trip to H&M
the last picture, is the nicest of you honestly
greets from Greece!
