The plan was to wake up at 5 a.m. this morning in hopes of scoring some of that rockin’ Jimmy Choo for H&M stock.  Of course, I slept through my alarm over and over again.  Got there and this is what I was in for…

H&M - 1

And that was only the outside portion of the queue! Seriously????

H&M - 3

There were people camped out inside the store.  Seriously.

By the time I made it into the store, I didn’t even get a glimpse of the collection that has so many have been raving about.  The look is said to be “party clothes with a rock ‘n’ roll edge”.  I wish I could be sporting the look right now.
