The red line train was rapidly approaching the Chicago station when I noticed Crystal carrying the UNICEF Lanvin for H&M canvas tote bag. When I asked her if she was there overnight like I was, she proudly told me she was fourth in line. Not only that, the sunglasses she has on are the widely coveted yet completely unattainable Lanvin for H&M sunglasses. Spending the night outside earned me a place in the third shopping group, so I tried to purchase them for The Gaudy God and Isa Giallorenzo, but they were all sold out by the time my turn to shop rolled around. I was 50th in line, and spent the night outside in below freezing temperatures, and still couldn’t get a hold of these bad boys.
After seeing Will’s replica Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton handbag on a CTA platform in Evanston, I realized that I actually prefer the artistically modified LV monogram to the plain LV monogram. Perhaps it’s my bias in favor of Japanese pop culture over graffiti, but I have to say Murakami is my favorite. What a bad street-style blogger I am, passing over a luxury handbag inspired by street art in favor of one that pays tribute to rainbow-colored bubblegum-flavored pop culture!
