Last night, Johannesburg's fashion
elite were out in full force at the VIP opening of the much anticipated
H&M store in Sandton City and the launch of the Balmain X H&M collection. MommyB and I were lucky enough to be invited.
I wore a beautiful abaya, designed by my talented sister, and paired it with my current fave Charlotte
Olympia leopard heels. MommyB wore a stunning abaya, with some velvet detail down the back, and a lovely pair of Alexander Mcqueen shoes. She's been so tied down with the twins, it was great that she could get out for a little while!
The shop assistants, looking snazzy in their Balmain t-shirts.
So much shopping to do...so little time...
The minute we arrived, we headed for the Balmain section. I managed to get the last pair of the beaded sandals...They just happened to be in
my size! YAY! Lucky me...I was thrilled! A lot of the range was already sold out, but we did manage to pick up some great pieces. We also managed to pick up some menswear as gifts.
By
then, I was exhausted and my arms ached!
Standing guard over our treasures...
Once
the evening was over, MommyB and I were totally shopped out and absolutely 'Balmainated' (is that a word? Well, it is now!!!), but thrilled, with the gorgeous pieces that we had managed to snag! It was an awesome event! The official opening is on Saturday, and it's well worth a visit.
Welcome to South Africa, H&M. Hope you love being with us as much as we love having you!
