I swear, this can only be excusable in New York..

So I wouldn’t call myself a shopaholic, but this is definitely beyond crazy. When I found out that Jimmy Choo was collaborating with H&M, I immediately started planning. I would pick up my friend, who’s coming from Boston, go home, change, put food, chairs and blankets together, and then camp outside of H&M. And so we did.

We waited outside of H&M on 5th Ave this Saturday for 9 hours in the freezing cold and rain, just for shoes. I think it may have been the craziest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I’m glad we weren’t the only people waiting in line though. There were quite a few in front of last, and a LOT more behind us.

The funniest part about this is that, when we entered the store, there was such a rush of excitement, that we just grabbed what we could and ran towards the cashier. Basically making our 9 hour wait over in just under 10 minutes.

I can say this much; I am never doing that again!

    Wow. The most I’ve ever stayed outside was about….4 hours before a concert? Might I suggest if you ever do it again (never say never) get hand-warmers! They last for a long time and you can just stick them in your pockets. Even having your hands be warm helps you feel warmer.

    That definitely is excusable!
    I can’t remember if I ever waited that long for anything. I hope that you got a great pair though 🙂
