The Balmain x H&M collection has finally hit shelves in Greece and, to be honest, it is not exactly everything I had been hoping for (*insert collective fashionista gasp here*). That probably has to do with the fact that I’m more of a plain Jane when it comes to my wardrobe – so all the feathers and sequins and embroidery just isn’t rocking my boat.

That said, there is a few select pieces I would have definitely grabbed, provided I was inclined to spend a sizable chunk of money (which, at the moment, is truly not in huge supply) and travel to Athens to stoically squeeze myself in line at the one H&M store that carries the collection.

Here’s my coveted top 5:

The Dressy Dress

A girl can never have too many little black dresses and, in classic Balmain fashion, this totally knocks it out of the park (no unnecessary frills included).

The Casual Dress

Cause there is nothing like a bold everyday piece to instantly lift your mood and make those dreary winter days just that tad brighter…

The ‘Jeans & a T-shirt’ Upgrade

Inserting a little glamour to casual outfits has been known to work wonders. This would be perfect for those laid back, ‘jeans & a t-shirt’ kinda days.

 
The Accessories Edit

And finally, since accessories can admittedly make or break any outfit, I just couldn’t resist these amazing statement booties and stunning little bag.

How about you guys? What are your thoughts with regards to this latest H&M collab? Will you be purchasing  (or have you already got your hands on) any of the pieces – and, if so, which will/ did make the cut?
