Maison Martin Margiela Clearance Sale!

As most of you may know, H&M launched the Maison Martin Margiela collaboration collection in November. Apparently many items don't sell all that well, because they already landed on the sale page!

I thought it would be nice to make a list of my favourite picks which are still available, but for a good price! I personally think the prices of designer collabs always are very steep, so I never really buy anything from them. But this time, there's a lot left, and a lot of stuff I like a lot.

The first thing I noticed when the collection was launched, were these shoes with an acrylic heel! I absolutely adore them, but they were way out of my budget. They've now been discounted from €199 to €70.

I myself won't buy them though, because I have read they're very uncomfortable. But if you're one of those girls who choose fashion over comfort: hurry up before they sell out!

Next up are two dresses. I personally didn't like much of the actual clothes, but these are lovely!

This blue one is a horizontally worn dress. Perhaps not very suitable for your everyday wardrobe, but it's just such a fun design! I'd love to wear this dress.

The next one is my very favorite, because it's very pretty and classy. Half of it is a long evening dress, the other half a little black dress. The asymmetrical design looks great, it's experimental yet classy. I don't understand how this one isn't sold out yet.

Next is the upside-down bag. I really love it, and it's very decently priced now, too! My current budget sadly doesn't allow me to buy it, but I'd love to own such a fun bag.
I might be unable to resist it and get it after all, though.
















Next are two of the watch accessories. One is a watch belt, the other a bracelet. I love both of them, I think they'd look great worn. Sadly, I think they're still a little too expensive to justify buying them, even with half off the price.

And here's the two things I did order:

The first one is a hair lock necklace, which is a fun accessory and only costs €5. The other is the hitched-up skirt, which is one of my favorites from the collection, and I was lucky to be able to order it in my size! I really like the hitched-up side, it's an experimental yet wearable piece.

Are you planning on getting anything from the sale?
I'm thinking of getting more, especially the upside-down bag, but I probably shouldn't. It's very tempting, though! I like this collaboration because it's very outspoken, and it definitely takes guts to wear some of the pieces.


Love,

Nonette

Studs n' Crosses

Hello readers, and welcome to my new followers!

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I'm currently very busy with finding a new place to live! After the summer I'll return to University, and I'll move to a different city for that. I'm looking forward, but I'm also quite anxious about it! I hope it will all go well.

What I really wanted to write about, though, are: shoes!
It seems to me that studded boots are totally hot right now. I see them in basically every store, and I love them!

These are seen in nearly every store in my area

Usually I'm only into really girly stuff, such as high heels or shoes with bows. I never quite liked this style of boots. But it's because of the studs that I do like them. They give them this rock vibe, which I love. And let's face it: I always like silver hardware on shoes!

The pair I'd really love to have, are these:

They're a combination of everything I love: black, studs, crosses, and rock. Someone please buy me these babies? My budget unfortunately doesn't allow me to buy them.

I did, however, win an auction for a Versace for H&M skirt. It ended with a low price, so I was happy. I'm not into all the crazy prints from the collection, but I did like some things of the Pelle Borchie collection a lot. Back in November when it was released I couldn't afford any of it, so I'm occasionally snooping around on Ebay to see if there's anything nice.

However, it seems I'm never truly lucky, because one day after I paid the seller got a negative review from a different buyer. While their feedback was 100% positive before that. So I'm a little anxious now, I hope I'll get the skirt after all. If not, I'll be sure to file a Paypal claim in time!

I love the little gold details

It's a silk skirt, and usually I'm not sure about silk because I don't like the way it's made. They gather cocoons from worms (which usually are bred and held in captivity), and it is said they're thrown into boiling water while the worms are still in there. Which is such an awful way of gathering the material.
But I suppose it doesn't hurt much to buy silk items second-hand, when no one is making profit from it.

I try to be more and more conscious about animal suffering. For example, I'm also not a person who buys a lot of leather shoes or bags, or who buys all kinds of feather fashion accessories. I do own a few, but I don't nearly buy all the stuff I'd like to have. Simply because I'd feel bad about it.

Cheap things are usually made the cruel way.
