Jimmy Choo @ H&M

Well as most of you girls will already know, Today H&M released their anticipated Jimmy Choo line. The line, which was fashioned byJimmy Choo designer Tamara Mellon, launched at 200 stores world wide including Munich! So ... I was there and successfully purchesed my new now and for ever favorite pair of shoes (till I can affored real ones which will probably be never).

The scenes I saw today! It was stuff war movies are made of!! Seriously if some of this women where soldiers ...

To prevent the madness of the Matthew Williams line launch on April 23th, H&M has published strict rules for shopping the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection. And believe me, they were sooo necessary!

What do I do if I arrive before opening hours?

If there is a line, please wait in line and H&M store staff will inform you how to shop.

How does the queing system work?

The first 160 people in line will receive a bracelet; on the bracelet you will be given a specific time for shopping in our designated area. The bracelets are only needed for the women's shoes, bags and accessories. Customers shopping the men's collection or the women's garments will not require a bracelet.

When your time has come, we will let you into the designated area to shop. Our goal is to create a better shopping experience for all of our customers.

If you are not one of the 160 first in line, you will of course have the opportunity to shop from the rest of collection or within H&M. After about two hours we will also open up the designated area for all of our customers.

To make sure as many customers as possible are able to buy from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection, we have a limitation. Every customer can buy the whole collection but with a limitation of buying maximum one per product, i.e. not more than one size (shoes/garments) or piece (accessories) per product per customer. The limitation covers the whole Jimmy Choo for H&M Collection. Your place in line does not guarantee any items from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection.

I actually overheard girls in the Zara changing room who were upset because they camped out since 5 am in front of the store and still didn't get all they wanted!!

Well sometimes you just have to be lucky!! We arrived at the store exactly 9:30am (opening time) of course they wouldn't let people without a colored bracelet in before 12:00.

When we came back after a quiet breakfast which we spend sulking and hating on everyone with a Jimmy Choo Shopping Bag, there were still shoes left (barely but still)! Pushing through what felt like 1 mio people, we finally arrived at the back of the store where they kept the shoes.

My friend Katrin grabed the first pair of shoes for me and they even where my size (I hoped because it differs depending on the brand). I didn't even look at anything else that moment (store was almost sold out anyway), just found myself a corner where I could try them on without being killed!! Seriously people tried snatching them out of my hands (or of my feet!!) while I was still trying them on!!!

But they didn't fit!! I gave them to the desperate looking girl sitting next to me with her mom almost crying because they sold out! Well at least someone was happy (they were her size, lucky her)! So I pushed my way out (jewls were out first I didn't see any bling in the whole store, although Katrin saw 2 pieces somewhere).

But as I passed the cash register a girl ditched an open box next to me and walked away and in the box ... dum dum dum ... the right shoes in the right size!! I snatched them up right as another one was grabbing for them, hugged them closely to my body and ignoring the bitching and evil looks walked past her and her hating friend right to the next open register!! I guess it was my reward for not acting like a total lunatic throughout all of it!! Today I really used up all the luck libras supposedly have!

Me and my new JC

Over Seas

It's me!

I am back for and I know I neglected the blog AGAIN!

But this time I have a good excuse!

I was at work when I gigantic raccoon attacked my city! I had to hunt it down to a small village in the Antes where I found my prince charming who was injured while he was trying to save a toddler who was about to get tramped to death!! I stayed at his bed day and night and they unfortunately don't have Internet there! When he started to get better we got married by this lovely lake in the mountains and had many babies while I still started a carrier as Personal Manager of the local corner shop ...

No seriously I was super busy!

Tonight as in 8 hours I will leave for my big trip across the ocean! Visiting my friend Christina in North Carolina!!

Sooo excited!!

I have all the outfits!! Here a little preview ...

On the Plane

I am planing on taking the belt of so I will have a comfy Xtra wide shirt and tights combo for the 15 hours flight!

In NC

summery for the good days

Warmer for the not so great but still good days (obviously we will only have great days in my mind because I am the most naive optimist sometimes ;))

Party, Clubbing aso.

I had all the Outfits photographed but no time to upload all of them so you will have to wait till I am back in 3 weeks to see them :)

As I plan an going crazy shopping over there my luggage has to be super light! I only packed like 15 kg and they allow 23 kg on the plane! So I have 8 kg + 8kg Carry-On left to shop!!

Most outfits I packed are versatile so I created an entire wardrobe out of only a couple of things! And I can tell you, it was a challenge if I ever had one ;)

I packed:

3 pair of jeans

1 jeans mini

4 tanktops

7 Tees of which some are oversized and can be worn as dress with leggings

1 leggings

7 summer tops most of which can be dressed up for going out

3 tops for only going out (because its the most important!!)

lots of accessories!

4 sweaters (one actually a dress but I can wear it as a sweater with some ajustments)

2 hoodies

1 summer dress

1 bikini

2 pair of sunglasses

1 black clutch

2 hats

1 pair of black dressy shoes

1 pair of chucks

1 pair of flip flips

and !!!!roll up flats!!! they are so cool, silver and black and can be rolled into a tiny bag to fit in a purse!

CU in 18 days!!

New Stuff

I totally went overboard and bought way to much stuff this week!

I also wanted to have it all photographed and uploaded by now but guess what ...

although I had loads of ideas how to style every single item in the stores, I have none right now!!

Seriously! None!! So the post is postponed till creativity strikes again!!

What I wore ...

Here's what I wore yesterday for hanging out in our garden with Eva ...

H&M Top and Shorts

and later that evening/night for cocktails in Parsberg

Review Dress, H&M Bolero and New Yorker Flipflops

Yesterday night this huge ass storm (2nd in 2 weeks) hit our village right about the time I left the train with a 15 minutes walk back home before me.

Wearing a silky dress and FlipFlops ... Worlds of Bad!

Meeting two girls because of the dress ... Genius

(they just moved 2 streets from my place and where at the station by car so they drove me right into our driveway and still I got soaked running 2 meters to the door!!)

So I survived the night without getting pneumonia and dying a painful death alone miserable and highly infective, unfortunately one of the trees of our neighbors wasn't so lucky regarding the painful (and rather loud) death! Here's the poor thing blocking half of our garden!

Das Peter-Prinzip

For all german speaking readers ...

I had to post this!!
Its just sooooo ture nowadays :)

Office Monday

Here's what I was wearing today:

Mustang Jeans, Livre long sleeve Top and ...

... no brand satin pumps which I bought for like 9 bucks in a Turkish store that appeared out of nowhere in one of the tiny side streets I sometimes walk trough in search of stores I haven't discovered yet :)

sorry for the crappy quality of the pics but I am minus one camera and have to use the mobile instead. My friend Eva flying to an other friends wedding and she needs it more than me being maid of honor and all!!

Oh and Congrats to Christina, the blushing bride and her honey Tom!!

I would fly myself if there weren't this nasty money issues preventing me to get from Germany to the States!!

Eye Candy ...

OMG OMG OMG Isn't he just gorgeous??

For more go here ...

Yay to me wearing glasses

The Other Option would be running around blind (which I seriously considered as the glasses are driving me nuts!!) Try wearing glasses after 9 years of constant lenses wearing!!

- They are slipping down all the time

- And your sight is narrowed down to those tiny glasses

- And I only have those one brown ones

- which yes are Gucci and I love them as a fashion statement but they don't go with everything so the outfit choice which is limited anyway is even slimmer

- And try them all day and the next ahhhhh

- And now the the weather is finally sun sun sun I can't wear any of my many many many sunglasses!

- And did I mention the slipping?

- And I really blame my mom who once in her life gave in to a fashion related argument and a "But MOM I love them" and bought them as a presi instead of making me choose not so pretty but more practical ones!!

Ok I think that is enough of the negative rantings for today bye bye with a smile :)

Cherry Trees

Me and on of my best friends and companion in misfortune (the laptop for all of you still not realizing I am a total nerd sometimes) are out in the garden enjoying the weather and catching up on posts. So don't wonder if there will be an overload of posts as it has 25°C which I guess will be 77°F and I am in total blog reading and posting mood!! After this Weardrobe and Chictopia are next ... have to dispense the lately rare mood :)
