Jimmy Choo for H&M and … Duck!

by

I walked by H&M on 5th Avenue yesterday and saw workers literally rolling out the red carpet for the launch of the Jimmy Choo collection today.

Boxes in the window.

If — no, WHEN! — I do the WendyB line for H&M, I promise that all you blog roll bitches are going to prance down the red carpet and come to the VIP after-party. Hell, you’ll BE the VIP after-party! I won’t let anyone else in except y’all. And Lady Gaga.

Another thing I saw yesterday was this sign.

It reminded me of this t-shirt.

  1. That sales tax sign should be a t-shirt. And the WendyB for H&M I’d wait in line for, maybe even as long as I waited in line for Police tickets in the 80’s!

  2. Woohoo! Jimmy Choo! Can’t wait for this to get to H&M in the rest of the U.S!
    And that T-shirt is very funny! I was so scared of New Yorkers before visiting New York City. But I found the people there surprisingly nice, helpful and welcoming. And obviously, they don’t take themselves too seriously :O)

  7. TN sales tax is something like that too, only there’s no state income tax here. Don’t know how it is there. But enough about taxes… WendyB VIP after party, with Lady Gaga?! Fuckin A!

  10. Ahh I so wish I’d bothered to elbow my way through the crowds outside H+M yesterday – some of those shoes/dresses were to die for! Oh well. Here’s hoping Mr. Choo brings out another collection for H+M next season!
    Brilliant Tshirt btw xxx

  14. WendyB for H&M would be too awesome! I want so much of your stuff, and I am left imitating it with toys stolen from siblings. *Sob*

  15. These H&M designer collabs make me anxious…all that hair pulling and line-waitin’.

    I found a perfect silk Karl Lagerfeld for H&M dress whilst vintage picking the other day…I found a similar yet damaged version on ebay with a $230 buy-it-now price!
    Crazy…

  17. Are you effing kidding me with the sales tax…uhm thanks PATERSON. WTF.

    Ok I’m calm.

    Def would be on your VIP line and I already have my outy picked out, so let me know for shiz.

    PS – gave you shouts x 100 on my last post, love!

  19. I can’t wait for them to carry it here in MN coz we have 0 tax!!

    WendyB for H&M, I’d fly to NY for that coz I’m sure that’s gonna be one heck of an after-party!!

  21. Hopefully there will still be some Jimmy Choo stuff left when I get there in Jan. And when the WendyB for H&M line in unveiled I will travel from anywhere to celebrate that!

  25. believe it or not i was at h&m today, and totally not shocked by the line of h&m ‘jimmy choo’ shoes, totally not the real thing. they looked really cheap!

  28. Hey miss wendy,
    My friend got a pair of jc shoes in h&m and she wasn’t happy about it. She said the quality was not of standard. I’m still waiting for the biker boots as it was not available today. you think it’s worth it, or is it just about the hype? xxx besos from spain.

  29. Oh YES, the power of words! Glad you changed the “if” to a “when” because you SO will. =)

    And my, your Gaga post was hilarious!!

    xoxo

  32. Not a fan of the Choo for H&M range… a lot of the pieces just looked so cheap. I’d definitely wait in line for the Wendy B + H&M range though. Although as Couture Cookie mentioned, I think you’re too good for them!

    Blah about the sales tax, although I’ll take yours over the 19,6% one we have here!
