GIRLFIGHT!

IT was a national holiday today. well as far as french women are concerned. TODAY was the opening of Stella McCartney's capsule collection for H&M. and who doesn't love stella? who doesn't love H&M? no one went to work or school. how do i know? because women from all over paris were either in the line behind me or in front of me at the large branch between lafayette and printemps. i saw my marketing professor and the academic counsellor from parsons - they just grinned sheepishly. this collection has been so highly anticipated that people camped out overnight to sleep beneath the big glass doors just so they'd be first behind the velvet ropes.

olivia, sos and i strategized till late last night after i came home from seeing le roi soleil (emmanuel moire is so hot)- writing down each other's sizes and memorizing which pieces of the collection we wanted so that we could seperate and sweep through the racks. this plan was excellent, till we screwed up by not waking up to our triple alarms this morning. we were at least thirty minutes behind schedule, and freaked out until havre caumartin. but when we got there, people were nowhere to be seen... until we heard the stomping of a million stockinged feet clad in stiletto boots threatening to run us over. apparently the guards got so fed up, they made everyone wait around the corner so they don't cause a commotion in front of the display. thank god the doors swung open right in front of us, so we got to be among the first inside. it was a bit like cheating but the guard let us in anyway. sos and olivia could do that to any man.

WHAT I BOUGHT:





AND a pair of shoes for erwan from the paul smith sports collection. though i wouldn't want to play sports in these. they're pretty.



So now i'm really satisfied. but tired. we were in the pit of hell for at least two hours, an hour of which was spent wrestling the satin shorts away from a bitchy grandmother (see, i got them first and she literally tried to snatch it out of my arms). but there is still more exciting news! i move in tomorrow and sign the contracts today! hooray for stella and luck altering material items!
