Any links to the scanned nonnos ladys ones?

buy some button ups for work

the thing is, at least with my hm, is that stuff goes out of stock and restocks so quickly. what might be there two days ago will be all gone come the weekend. so you really have to go there often and snoop things out to get nice stuff.

beware of the impulse purchase.. ive bought stuff on the account that it was just too cheap not to buy. i havent worn such items since... meaning that money is down the toilet.

Totally true. Beware of impulse purchases. Happened too me a few times.

btw overhere in Europe you have 30 days to bring your purchases back and have your money returned.

H&M overhere in Europe has always sale. Also it's totally unclear when something goes on sale. Some pieces anounced in the spring/ summer collection a few months ago already went for sale in April. At the moment there dumping a lots of spring stuff for 50% an 30% of the original price. It looks like that they just wanna get rid of clothing that just doesn't sell fast.

What I do know is that H&M has individual designteams that have great indepence, here's a quote:

One of the secrets to H&M's speed is decisiveness. The people in charge of each collection can dream up and produce new fashions on their own authority. Only huge orders require approval from higher-ups. "We have a flat organization. We have a shorter way to a decision," says Sanna Lindberg, president of H&M Hennes & Mauritz USA. That makes H&M fashionable in more ways than one.

That's also probably the reason that H&M has now and then reasonable good stuff (in quality terms) but generally speaking quality is a disaster which can be quite frustrating because they sometimes have nice designs and fits.

No, they also seem suck when it comes to T-shirts.

If you want to have see weird Che stuff have a look at the link below. It's a report of a Che exhibition overhere in Amsterdam. Funny to see there was even Che icecream

Entire made of plastic. Brand is Bullboxer price 1 euro new. Have marvellous 70s Eastern Europe Look though I wonder if they last longer than a few weeks.

Seems H&M didn't thought of that COS is a widespread abbreviation for Church of Scientology

Is there a European alternative for the US Levi's 514? If your talking about slim Levi's you seem to have overhere only choice between 511 and 513. And of course there's the 504 in Europe, but how that one fits in is unclear to me. Looks slim, but on Levi's website it only says straight.

Love this! Good to see that you don't necessarily have to be a teenager to look good in this kind of clothes. Especially like the jacket.

As soon as your in Amsterdam go to the nearest newspaper kiosk and buy the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Shopping (Dutch Issue). This issue is full of pictures and addresses of the best and most obscure clothingshops in town, also a lot of addresses to vintage stores. Besides that has maps of where the stores are located (So you don't have to read Dutch to understand it). I happened to see the magazine at my girlfriend's place and I was amazed of how good the guide is. There where lots of shops I never knew they existed, although I'm a native myself. Oh, yes Cosmo Shopping comes in a handy bag size format. And no I have no shares in Cosmopolitan

The only note I have to make is that quite a few shops are aimed at women (Cosmopolitan is of course still mag aimed at women), but most also do mens clothing.
