Balmain X H&M - The Girl With The Bob

One of the high street’s most anticipated collaborations is on its way into stores this Thursday and the excitement is immense! Olivier Rousteing’s collection for H&M will be hitting the shelves on November 5th and after seeing the runway show the other week and now the collection lookbook, I have to admit, I really want to be in Dublin to battle for a few pieces myself!

Normally I find Balmain’s collections beautiful, but perhaps a little too extravagant for my own personal style. But while there are still many of those embellished, show-stopper pieces for the H&M collab, they are balanced with sharp, classic wardrobe stables that would truly stand the test of time. There’s a few jackets I am DESPERATE to add to my wardrobe! Plus, many of the pieces really are an affordable price! Of course there’s some that sit at a higher, designer price point, but there are definitely attainable buys for the every-woman to get her hands on a piece of Balmain.

So I have studied, studied and re-studied the lookbook for the collection and chosen my favourite pieces to share with you here. Which excite you the most? Are you lucky enough to be heading to an H&M store to nab a piece or two on Thursday? Can I join you?! Let me know in the comments below!
