FASHION QUOTABLES
There's no such thing as fashion. Fashion is an idea to make you think that you're not in it at all times. Fashion is what is offered to you four times a year. Style is what you choose.

Why wouldn't you buy anything from this upcoming h&m collection?
anonymous!! first - YES! cavalli is straight. and clearly has been for at least 20 years....lol! but re: the h&m pieces. they are well designed, etc. but i gotta admit, i am becoming a bit of a lable snob. i know it's not a good look. but i've been buying "cheap" clothes all my life and have prolly spent untold thousands at h&m since my freshman year of college. going forward i want to invest in pieces - not simply buy clothing. that said i'd rather spend my hard earned coin at a sample sale or outlet getting designers who put extra effort into the quality o the garments...hence why i am staying clear of the h&m's of the world for a while. feel me?
I just don't like any of this stuff. I am still riding hard for cheap clothes but none of this looks like any thing I want to put my two hands on. Frankly, I think H&M gets it right on their lower end cotton stuff (tees, shorts, linen trousers and dresses), most of their attempts at "higher end fashion" simply fall flat.
