Attended my first High Kicks party at the Skybar last week and decided to break out my newly purchased Versace x H&M skirt. Like I said in a prior post, there was hardly any selection left and nothing in my size! But I needed this skirt with the design's indecisive crocodile/palm tree print and amazing metal pleat points in all its silky goodness. So I bought a size 6, zipped it up, whipped a belt around me, and wore it as a top. Lesson to be learned: just because something isn't in your size doesn't mean you can't wear the garment in other ways that it wasn't intended to be worn. Or something.

Latter video stills are pretty self explanatory. Gold foil eyebrow application process.

Those of you who are in LA make sure you attend High Kicks every Wednesday night at the Skybar in the Mondrian from 9PM to 2AM. I promise fancy times, whiskey, and a rockin' good time with the boys of Semi Precious Weapons.

Oh Donatella how you taunt me with all your beautiful designs Versace has created for H&M! I heard that the lines started at 4AM. DAMN! I was already pushing my luck asking my guy to bring me to H&M for the collection. Lines were still going by the time I got there, which was late afternoon, and the selection of items available were slimmer than the calories in a skinny latte. People are vicious when they want some collaborative goodness! What I loved about this collection on top of the wild prints and the bold colours were the details. Including metal tips for the pleat points of a skirt. Genius!
