Went out shopping once again today. I always think everything just looks the same everywhere, but today I had some splendid surprises. Partly because sales are going on in a lot of places, so that just puts me in a good mood everyday. The other reason, of course, is because of the weekend. I love what I do, but you just need some rest sometimes, you know?
H&M Fashion Aids T-Shirt
Saw those Fashion Aids T-Shirt at H&M. The price is quite good and certainly reasonable and perhaps seeing this makes me understand more about the pricing of Matthew Williamson’s capsule collection for H&M. I mean they want everyone to afford it, but they also don’t want everyone to afford it. It is a complicated relationship. I mean surely, you want the publicity, but you don’t want it to be soooo ridiculously cheap that it cheapens your entire name.
Anyway, back on topic. I really like those Fashion Aids designs. Some of them are really creative and the cut is pretty good and it comes in great colour range for men and women, too! So I am glad.
I have already seen one platinum blonde babe wearing a Dita von Teese Tee, she looked a little bit cheesy actually, but I am proud of her for supporting the good cause. That puts a smile on my face and I kind of do want to see more people wearing it on the streets.
Mango
Basically, I go in Mango every week, sometimes 2-3 times a week, so I thought I knew everything that is going on in this Spanish chain store, but it turned out I was wrong. It was probably because of these sales signs, they really do something to me mentally. I just feel less guilty when I buy sales stock, so I have more patience to go through the racks and peek through every corner.
This time, I found a pair of heels I am desperately dying for. It is in black suede and looks like the vintage pair of YSL pumps Julia Restoin-Roitfeld possesses, but the only difference is that it does not have a platform. It is a pair of pumps, which are perfect for me, because I do not think I will survive walking in platforms, so it is better to stick with what I do best.
Zara
My feelings for Zara is the same as my feelings for Mango actually. The only difference is that I think of Hana Soukupova, when someone mentions Zara, instead of Penélope Cruz.
I had the same pleasant time at Zara today, because I discovered a pair of flats I love. It is round and has tiny cut-out shapes around the rim. It is very cute. The thought of whether I should snatch it home or not is simply killing me, because I bought a pair of moccasins from H&M two weeks ago and to buy another pair of flats is simply a waste of environmental resources, because afterall, it is world environment day today and also, I told my landlord I am broke as the predominant reason of my desire to move out, so if I buy that pair of shoes, I would be THE hypocrite and I am sure my landlord goes into my room and checks on my stuff. Creepo!
Anyway, I will keep you all informed about those Zara flats. I am 50% certain that I will be wearing Zara flats to death in the future, like my last pair (see here).
Have a lovely weekend!
