Marni for H&M - My buys

A few posts back I had blogged about Marni for H&M and how surprised I was with the collection. A few days later, I saw the collection on the window and had the chance to have a very close look at it. I was really impressed by it's quality, which then made me fall even more head over heels for it .
I really wanted the necklaces, both colours because I couldn't chose one and the silk maxi dress was also on my list, but whatever I could get my hands on after that would be a plus.

It was my first time attending one of these collaborations and I think it was well worth it. There was no hassle at Oxford Circus, where I was with about 20 people ahead of me, seriously I couldn't quite believe my luck.



Although the collection is truly lovely, I couldn't go crazy on it, so I got the bits that I really wanted the most and I am very happy with my selection. I got the maxi dress (yay!) and could not resist in adding a couple of dresses to my shopping bag. Accessories wise, I am so excited that I got both necklaces and a pair of sunglasses from the men's range which is nicer than the women's, plus a pair of socks, which I am not too sure about, but they were just £10, so why not.



The cut of the three dresses is fabulous,  they were already on my list of favourites and I am so glad I managed to get them all.  Now, I just can't wait for the summer! Meanwhile, I have already gone out with my necklace, it's quite a heavy piece, wearing the 3 together but such an interesting one, that was the talk of the day.
Unlikely the Versace collaboration, the Marni pieces are really good quality and they look expensive.  I am just hoping that H&M might have another collaboration with Marni soon.  I will be queueing up again as I am certainly hooked on it.

See you soon.

great haul! do you think the maxi dress runs true to size compared to regular h&m clothing?

I think they run a little bigger from the usual H&M sizing.
