AW x H&M Top Picks

The long awaited Alexander Wang and H&M collaboration hit stores today at 8am and 10am for the online consumers.

I attempted to stand in line and be one of those people to experience this huge launch so I could tell you guys all about it. But then at 4am it started to rain in NYC (Me + rain + suede shoes - an umbrella = no Bueno) so I politely got out of line and headed back to Brooklyn. Had I found patience (and an umbrella) these were my had to have items:

Pros: I love that Mr. Wang stuck to the aesthetics of the brand with the black/ white/ and grey combination with a hint of color. The price range was beyond reasonable unlike some of H&M previous collaborations. 

Cons: I'm more of a subtle gal when it comes to brands and logos on clothing. The huge WANG across most of the collection was a bit of an eye sore. The fit. Given this is an athletic collection and was mostly scuba inspired, but the sweatshirts were a tad bit too boxy. In fashion you have to know what trends work for you and which ones don't. 

Congrats to those of you whom snagged those items you wanted and happy shopping to those currently in store fighting (not literally) for those last few pieces.
