awww diesanni.

Im sure you looked just fiiiiiiiiiiiine hah

BUT I do have to say I find most of their tops are really tight or really baggy. I have a few shirts that are xs and im still swallowed whole D:

IA, I love the Covent Garden store it's probably my favourite along with the Regents Street store. I hate the one on the corner of Oxford Street (would it be Oxford Street? Anyway it's the one opposite Nike Town) because it's always way too crowded.
Also they're opening one in Angel, Islington which will be the closest to me! It probably won't be much but it'll be nice, there aren't so many great shops down there

Yes the one at Oxford Circus is always manic...there is one futher down opposite Marks and Spencer and next to Uniqlo just a few yards after Topshop instead that is decent on the weekends/weeknights. I also pop into Regent Street, but only if I can't find a size at the other Oxford Street branches and there are 3 of them on Oxford Street.

Have you tried the one in Camden Market? I only discovered they had one a few months ago after walking past American Apparel. It's on a corner....

 

[MissLondon]

^ah thanks! sadly my office is just behind oxford street so closest ones to me are the ones there, i dont go to covent garden as much as i should i have to admit...might pop in there tomorrow after work though! if i leave at a decent time that is.

by the way, i remember someone was asking about that halter neck maxi dress from nitrolicious' website...i saw it in store in regent street but there was one and it was a 36!

Def go into Covent Garden and if you are into their more taliored stuff and smart slinky dresses/skirts, they have those on the 2nd floor next to shoes/acessories.

I don't really like the one next to Uniqlo, I only go in there if I have to buy smarter stuff. It's good for that!
I know of the Camden one but have never been in there! Is it good? It's fairly easy for me to get to, just one bus!

It's good for the Divided stuff....

 

[marmoset]

Okay cool, I'll def check it out!

 

[mardybum8]

Yeah it only sells divided, which I love!

I bought a few bits yesterday, my favourite being a Rolling Stones jumper for £14.99. I love it!

Theres a new section in my H&M that has tanks, tee, long henleys, leggings & tunics... all loose cotton & all in fleshy colors except for the leggings which all seem to be in black & darker colors. Im hoping they get some fleshy color leggings to match the rest & Im going to buy a ton of it. They are all so cheap!

Yup! Easy on the pocket!

 

[SusanSuperstar]

just received the leather booties...

 

[gossiping]

has anyone tried the store in lyon? (i realise it's probably not where a lot of people live here ) i just wondered if they had trend or not.

 

[The_Ida]

^NICE booties! How do they fit? Wonder if I'll get mine before I'm off to Tunisia

 

[SusanSuperstar]

the fit is good, and I normally never fit into h&m shoes, they run a little small though.

this line is called "urban basic" as far as i can remember
i really like this section too! i bought a couple of shirts from there. they are made of a really great material!

 

[Rockin Republic]

I got the tan colored leather jacket from the Trend section. It's so beautiful!

 

[Sweetredhead]

Rockin_Republic you bought a very nice jacket ,i hope that i will find it too....if you don't mind wat was the price ?

rumours are going around that Shiatzy Chen is going to be designer in november for H&M.

anyone else heard this rumour?

 

[honeycombchild]

I'd be very, very surprised if that's true. CDG was a brand picked for that market, and I just can't help but think the next brand is going to be aimed more at the US market, meaning a much more commercial/mass appeal , huge name designer.

It would make sense with them keeping it so under wraps also. It has to break soon who it is, as they always buy out a spread in British Vogue's October issue to promote the collection, they've done it with every single one so far.. October's Vogue breaks at the very start of September. Usually we've had pieces featured in publications by now!

and she says it's on the Wikipedia page of H&M:

Collaborations

In November 2004, selected H&M stores offered an exclusive collection by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. The press reported large crowds and that the initial inventories in the larger cities were sold out within an hour,[8] although the clothes were still available in less fashion-sensitive areas until the company redistributed them to meet with demand.[9] In November 2005, the chain launched a collection by Stella McCartney and, in November 2006, by avant-garde Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf. H&M launched another collaboration with Madonna in March 2007, designed by the popstar.[10] In June 2007 the company worked with game developers Maxis to create a stuff pack for the latter's The Sims 2 computer game, H&M Fashion Stuff[11] In November 2007, the chain launched a collection by Italian designer Roberto Cavalli. It was reported that the clothing sold out very quickly. Also in 2007, another design with Kylie Minogue was launched in Shanghai, China.[7] In the fall of 2008 the Japanese company Comme des Garçons was selected as guest designer. For spring and summer 2009, the British designer Matthew Williamson created 2 exclusive ranges for H&M. The first being a collection of women's clothes released in selected stores. The second collecting saw Williamson branch into menswear for the first time. The 2nd collection also featured swimwear for men and women and was available in every H&M store worldwide.[12] From November 14 H&M released a limited edition diffusion collection with Jimmy Choo featuring shoes and handbags, ranging from £30 to £170 including a range of men's shoes. The collection also included clothing designed by Choo for the first time, many garments made from suede and leather, and was available in 200 stores worldwide including London's Oxford Circus store.[13] Sonia Rykiel is the latest guest designer to collaborate with H&M, after having designed a ladies knitwear and lingerie range to be released in selected H&M stores on December 5, 2009.
