Last Tuesday, I was invited to go to the pre-sale of the H&M x Balmain collection.
I was looking forward to it like a kid looks forward to going to a theme park. I'd made a list inside my head of what I wanted and swore to myself to stay faithful to that list.
D-day
When almost arriving at the parking, where a shuttle bus would drive us to the secret location. I've lost it. I couldn't find the parking place! Together with Annabel, who was sitting next to me, we kept on looking and looking and lost lots of precious time. No indication, nothing...
After 15 minutes of driving around, we realized the parking space was right in front of us all of the time... So we hurried. And while walking to the shuttle bus, we saw the first one driving away as we were looking at it... Damn!
So there we stood, and we waited for 40 minutes until the next bus arrived. I was thinking to myself: am I this crazy for this collection? Who would be doing this...

Arriving at the secret location, we had to wait in line, because they let in 30 persons each 5 minutes to shop. When it was our turn, we walked into the craziness. I really thought at a "VIP-sale" there wouldn't be any "OH MY I TOUCHED IT FIRST SO IT'S MINE!!" situations, but I was wrong.
I really had to walk on automatic pilot to the items I had in my head for me and some of my friends. Of each item, I took a few pieces and I could only hope the right size was between them...
At the time we arrived at the location, we could only dream of dresses with studs and stones or the typical jackets because they were already sold out. In no time, the clothes had been taken of the mannequins and the showroom was empty.
MADNESS, total madness...
Worth it? YES!
I'm very much in love with the items I bought. And even though I know it's not the real deal (and we must realize that, it's H&M you guys), I do love this collection a lot!
