Balmain - The Thirst is Real

Oooh girl you thirsty!
The Balmain drop has landed and EVERYONE is going crazy!
I know, I know I just wrote a piece on Balmain dropping at H&M and how excited I am about it, but I am severely over it and its only just hit the shops.
If you haven't already, and to be honest I think everyone has seen the footage of the rush when H&M opened their doors, but if you haven't, then check this out..

As much as the designs are beautiful, EVERYONE is going to wearing it! For this reason as they say on 'Dragon Den', Im out.

I really don't care how much you paid either, because if you are one of those ones that took to eBay to buy, well that just makes it worse.

The Beaded embellished dress is on Ebay for 2299.99 with the coveted Embellished Blazer going for 1985.00, what in the hell!??

Ladies lets just take a second here, are you sure you want to part you hard earned cash on this?

They are designed by the very talented Oliver Rousteing, but they are still made in the same factory as all regular H&M collections. Not knocking the talents of their seamstresses, but that embellished coat you love and paid top whack for is going to eventually fall apart. 

So I urge you lovlies to go and check eBay properly whilst shopping for that must have Balmain item..

Here are a few designer items I have found for the same cost or less on eBay..

Peruse and quench you fashion thirst over the likes of Oscar De La Renta, Chanel, Balenciaga and Moschino and step away from Balmain.

Oh and if you simply must have Balmain, why not instead of spending 2,00.00 on The Balmain x H&M Blazer 

Go for this REAL Balmain Leopard Print Biker Jacket , it makes sense?

Balmain x H&M - full collection

Well never have I been more excited for an H&M collaboration than this one!

Balmain for H&M will be hitting the shop floors this Friday and I for one predict a RIOT!

Creative director Oliver Rousteing who took over Balmain 4 years ago at the tender age of 25, yes Twenty goddamn five! Has managed to bring Balmain to the fore front of every woman fashion wish list . Wowzers what an inspiration to all you young fashionistas right?

Reading his interview in Dazed and Confused Oliver states  "If you want people to feel good in your clothes, you have to feel good creating your clothes" "My work days are dreamy days. For me, the essence of Balmain is happiness." Well hes one lucky guy who gets to go in everyday to work and create beautiful dresses for woman who adore his designs.

Reading his interview in Style magazine Oliver the prices for the Balmain pieces "are not a price everybody will be thrilled about" but as he carries on to say " its not the normal fashion you expect from H&M"

Personally I would have to agree, but cant quite fully commit until I see and touch the quality of the clothing myself.

With dress prices starting from £119.00 ( the green Sequin dress) climbing to £399.99 for the embellished dress, we hope this must anticipated collection everything a girl could wish for and more from Balmain.
