Balmain x H&M Launches: Pandemonium Ensues (Items Now Selling on Ebay for Twice the Price)

Did you line up for the Balmain x H&M launch today?
If not, this is what you missed:

h&m balmain
balmain h&m crowd


That’s right, people running hither and thither, grabbing every piece of gilded garb they could lay their hands on!
According to shopper Yannique Joseph, who braved the lines this morning, things were cool at first, with people sitting outside and receiving their colored bracelets. But once the doors opened, it was over.

She sent us the above picture, writing, “Madhouse. People are running when their group is called.”

She was able to make her way in with the 9:45 group, but by that time, only a few sparkly earrings and beaded clutches remained. Fashion Bomb readers reported that the website had crashed this morning. A quick look reveals that absolutely everything is sold out.

I actually had my eye on the green little sequined dress, but sadly, I was out of luck.
What did you have your eye on? Did you score anything at the sale?
*The Guardian in London reported a similar situation. Read about it here.
**Pieces are now on Ebay, selling for twice the price! The green dress I had my eye on retailed for $199 and is selling for $500.

Their $599 Embellished dress is on the resale site for $1,199. Their velvet dress retailed for $299 and is selling for $600.
Sheesh! It seems all those early risers were just gunning for the Ebay upsell!

In the perfect promotional move, the Weeknd and Alexander Wang are teaming up for a capsule collection, titled Wang XO, to be released just in time for the Weeknd’s fall tour. Wang and The Weeknd certainly aren’t strangers, as the dynamic duo first worked together at Coachella (the singer dressed exclusively in Wang’s namesake menswear line and diffusion line pieces and took over the brand’s Instagram).  Using the hashtag #WANGXO, he ‘grammed his too turnt experience as one of the festival’s headliners.

The Weeknd was also featured in Wang’s anniversary campaign with Do Something.

The singer’s “Beauty Behind the Madness Tour” just started, and the clothing will be available later this month.  Unfortunately, no details on the price points or where the collection will be sold has been released as yet. Your best bet to find this must have collection will be during of the one of the concerts during the tour.

The Weeknd’s onstage wardrobe will feature one of a kind Wang pieces, and the fans can dress the part by purchasing limited-edition tees, hoodies, and bandanas with graphics influenced by his logo and lyrics.

We can’t wait to get our hands on this collab!

” I dabble with trends from time to time but try to invest in pieces that will remain timeless.”


” I’m also a minimalist when it comes to accessories.”


” I’m originally from a small town in south Georgia, and I’d like to think my style choices often have just a touch of southern charm and femininity.”


” My roots taught me that sexy doesn’t always have to mean skimpy, and I started a blog earlier this year to display that.


“I’ve been obsessed with your blog for a while and love how you feature the style of your readers, so thanks for the consideration.”

Beauty Bomb Product of the Day: Black Up Mattifying Fluid Foundation

Ladies of color rejoice! For over a decade French women of color have been using Black Up, the first makeup company created with the sole purpose of enhancing the beauty of darker skin tones. Created by an African makeup artist, the cosmetics are made for the specific needs of black and mixed women’s skin tones. Before now, the brand was only available in Paris, but thanks to Sephora, Black Up was recently made available in the US.
Black Up Mattifying Fluid Foundation

The line includes a variety of products including eyeshadow, primer, and a contour stick, but the true stand out is their Matifying Fluid Foundation. It  has over thirty shades tailor made for women of color! The foundation is designed to match undertones of coppery red, orange, and yellow-gold in order to allow your skin’s natural radiance to shine through. The medium coverage will ensure your blemishes and pores are disguised while the astringent ingredients are great for combination and oily skin. It dries in a semi-matte finish that creates the perfect “natural” make-up look.

Head to Sephora.com for the full collection and prepare for endless compliments on your glowing skin!
