My Item of the Week

(Pics by Jordan Fish & Gerard Estadella)

After a lovely & relaxing weekend in Barcelona, I find myself packing again to head back to Madrid.

As you know, I've been posting frequently on HC's about the H&M x Versace collaboration. I was so happy to finally see the result in "real life" last week!

I'd seen the collection items in pics, as well as on the runway video; but I didn't know what to expect once I got to try them on & feel them.

At first, I really wanted to buy one of the dresses. I wanted to get something I could wear Up until a couple of days before the collection was out...when I saw the plain black plaid skirt.

So last Wednesday, on November 16th, I attended the launch party in Madrid with a few friends- including lovely Andrea (pictured above) in search of the only item I wanted: the simple plaid skirt.

I don't think I've ever seen so many women (and men) grabbing clothes of the shelves and racks so fast. Skirts, dresses, jackets & accessories were flying off of the shelves faster than you could say "knitwear".

It felt like we were in one of those movie situations where people are just running around the store with huuuge piles of clothes, desperately trying to find their size before somebody else got to it faster than they did. I must confess that I, too, was desperately looking for my skirt. It was nowhere to be seen.

Just when I was about to give up, I heard somebody say that there was a whole other section in the store downstairs with more collection items and...BINGO.

I found my skirt, the new addition to my winter wardrobe ;p
