Stop what you’re doing now…no, right now…and run to your nearest H&M!
Jimmy Choo for H&M has finally hit stores and the glamorous collection is everything you’d expect and more!!!
Ferocia and I pre-shopped the collection at the Editor Event on 5th Avenue last night and were both in shoe-shopping heaven.
The store was transformed into a luxe boutique, perfect for a red-carpet fete.
The mannequins, who never looked so fabulous, sat on plush couches surrounded by sparkling jewelry.
The bartenders and waiters (who easily could be models) kept the drinks and hors dourves coming.
The incredible DJ, DJ M.O.S., spun the hottest records all night long from “Groove is in the Heart,” to classic 80’s Madonna and Michael Jackson. (One of the best DJ’s spinning in the city—and that says a lot because I am a music buff and hard to please. Check him out on djmosnyc.com and freshistheword.blogspot.com).
And celebrity stylist du jour, June Ambrose, came out for the event and even chatted with Ferocia about how much she loves our blog! Umm…we love YOU more. Thanks for reading!
Can you imagine a better shopping party?
However, most importantly, the collection blew our minds. Our favorites?
An irrestibly sexy black minidress with shoulder pads and sparkles that scream glamour! An adorable black shaggy fur vest! (Both below)
A black/silver sequin oversized tank that Ferocia and I both had to have! A bib choker necklace with jewels I added to my collection that will elevate any look! (Modeled above by June Ambrose)
And the shoes!! While the thigh-high boots swallowed up my leg when I tried them on (taller ladies may have better luck), the booties and sandals were the hottest I’ve ever seen at an H&M store. We loved the strappy red patent leather sandals (the DEFINITION of sexy) but ended up buying the following shoes:
Ferocia scored these studded black sandals and gray suede open toe booties (below)!
And as I told you last month, I finally tried on and purchased my favorite cobalt blue patent leather shoes that look even better on my feet than they did in the promo pics (below)!
You should know something about Ferocia and I – we like shoes more than chocolate, even more than boys.
Example: Ferocia got stood up by her date (she’ll give you deets later) and the new shoes totally made up for it. I’ve had the week from Hades (my best friend lost her job, drama with the boo, etc. etc.) yet my shoe purchases (from Jimmy Choo for H&M and the Louboutin sample sale!) make me happy and never let me down!
Retail therapy has never felt good. And we got a silver multistrand bracelet in the gift bags – amazing!
Now that you’ve seen the pictures and read all the details—it’s finally time to shop! Send an email to theglamazonsblog@gmail.com or hit us on Twitter (@glamazonsblog) and let us know what you think about the collection and what amazing Jimmy Choo for H&M finds you added to your wardrobe!
And I am now going to get ready to go to H&M right about NOW!! Thanks ladies for keeping me up to date.. I hope there are shoes in my size.. 6 is NEVER the easiest to find.
