i will not




I didn't buy any of the Lanvin for H&M stuff because I was the dumb bitch who showed up on Sunday and casually asked if there were any pieces left. Would I have liked to get my hands on some of it? Sure. The sunglasses are about in my price range. I'm sure those would have been nice. But will I lose sleep over it, spend the rest of my life in a regretful funk, OR pay some opportunistic little housewife running an ebay side business a 500% retail mark-up for one of the sold-out pieces? FUCK NO.

I mean really, $315 for a pair of sunglasses that cost $20 retail? To say that this defeats the purpose of the whole exercise is a profound understatement.

  1. Ugh, people are so crazy...I hate when they buy the designer collabs just to resell them and make tons of money :(

  2. WTF??? The sunglasses were $20???? OMG! I was actually planning on getting some on eBay and paying maybe $100-$150 but not anymore!!! I did however get a tee! But I swear I didn't pay over $100 for it!

  3. $315?? You have got to be fucking kidding me. The Grey Ant joints don't even retail that high.

    I knew that would happen though. Jerks.

  4. I knew ebay was crazy with this sort of stuff! A dutch version of ebay mostly askes less (some bucks more then selling price) so that isn't as crazy as ebay thank god. I tried to get into the website but it crashed kinda (story on my blog). Thankfully I'm not losing sleep since the only thing I was really interested in was the purple lipstick :p

  6. Asss iffff!! You see the thing about these h&m collaborations, as fun as they are, you are still getting something that is pretty much h&m quality, which is great for their usual prices... but certainly not for $750!! And I'm sure if you had $315 to spend on sunglasses, you would actually buy a proper pair of Lanvin ones! :) x
