Anyone had any luck? I'm at work and refreshed the homepage for 1 our solid before finally getting in. I ordered three sleeveless v-neck blouses, a skirt and a set of bracelets. The dresses were all sold out unfortunately. Anyone bought irl? What's it like?

I sat there for ages with a screen telling me I was in a queue. When I finally got through the things I wanted had sold out.

I got the queue screen aswell - what was that about? It wasn't a queue because you have to keep pressing try again to get in....

Got through eventually, bought a brown leather bag...looks lovely. Smile

I got through eventually and bought the red spot sleeveless dress, the orange leather bag and the pink colourblock sleeveless silk top. Thought I'd ordered a necklace but it doesn't show on my confirmation so presume it had sold out before I purchased.

I hope its all nice!

iwantavuvezela · 08/03/2012 12:11

I got a top (so wanted that swimming suit!) - i thought you could only order one thing!!!!!!!! grrr might try again!

Russianred · 08/03/2012 12:13

I ordered the pink colourblock top, straw hat, white necklace and silver sandals. Managed to get it all by 9.10 so was quite smug impressed. Hope it is all lovely when it arrives!

iwantavuvezela · 08/03/2012 12:20

Grrrrr - i was online before 9.00 and was told to come back at 10.00 as it was offline, by the time i got back online i was in a queue ..... if anyone got the swimsuit and doesnt want it, i will buy it , please!

MissFoodie · 08/03/2012 12:25

i just got through online, nothing I like actually.....!
phew

I was put off by the pictures of the fighting masses on twitter. I think it's all too distinctive and I'm sure I'll meet loads of people wearing it. Also, all the fashion blogs will be covered in it for next few days so I want to be different. These are all the things I'm telling myself as I start to increasingly regret not clicking that buy button. So overdrawn too...it was Marni or Divorce

CointreauVersial · 08/03/2012 13:13

Some of it looked lovely, but tbh I can't be bothered with all the hassle!

Anyway, you just know that 50% of it will end up on eBay at massively inflated prices.

slapmeonthepatio · 08/03/2012 13:36

It already is - 57 items and rising.

Katy1368 · 08/03/2012 14:11

I was at Oxford circus at 10.00 this morning thinking "it might be a bit crowded but I can take that" - you had to have a time slot wristband which had all gone already! Collection didn't open to the masses until 12 which was not feasable as I had to get back to pick up DD. Sigh.

Snealed a peek at what some of the other shoppers were buying at the till and it looked nice.

faustina · 08/03/2012 14:24

after endlessly pressing the try again button .... the print bag, the print trousers that don't match the bag, and the sunglasses. We can always take it back if it's rubbish though can't we!

pocketandsweet · 08/03/2012 15:05

Question... this is the first of these designer/HM collaborations that I have been interested in..... so based on past ones of these will they re-stock the website or is that it if it is "sold out" it is indeed gone? Can anyone tell me. I really wanted those silver sandals (the rest of me is loosing weight so I don't want to buy any clothes that might not fit for long/ or be too optimistic about how small I will get).

dingdong3 · 08/03/2012 15:10

Interesting to see some of the items on ordinary people....kinda glad I didn't splurge now...

faustina · 08/03/2012 15:31

you're right pocket - once it's gone, it's gone, although some of it will end up on ebay

Bonsoir · 08/03/2012 15:45

I bought loads - I queued outside the Champs-Elysées store this morning (which was very civilised and a lot of fun) and bought 17 items - four necklaces and the rest was clothing. Frankly, it is all stunningly good value for money and I would happily keep the lot, but I did buy several items in the same fabric with the intention of returning one of them so probably should do.

I wanted the red bracelet and the red-yellow multicoloured necklaces but they were all gone by the time I got there.

snowmummy · 08/03/2012 15:48

There's loads on ebay at ridiculous prices. I'm obvioiusly not stylish enough because I don't really like any of it. Some of the accessories were ok but not nice enough for all the fuss IMO.

Bonsoir · 08/03/2012 15:56

The prices on eBay are extraordinary!

hazchem · 08/03/2012 16:53

I think I'm not cool enough! Hmm

PlumSykes · 08/03/2012 18:10

I did the same as you, Bonsoir. Bought armfuls, with intention of returning some pieces. I love it all, is very much my style. Can be layered with existing items well. Nice to see the Grazia girls wearing their haul immediately, have had my necklace on since 10.15.

Cherrypie32 · 08/03/2012 18:12

I think it's vile Grin

noddyholder · 08/03/2012 18:15

I like most of it esp like the swimsuit! I am sure the brighton store will be empty tomorrow though by the time I get tehre!

warmandwooly · 08/03/2012 18:30

I regret getting a fabric Marni bag from the Bicester outlet and when I heard of this collaboration I was excited but tbh I thought loads of it will end up on ebay in the future at reasonable prices once the fuss had died down.
Still chuffed that I bagged a Stella MCCartney skinny wool scarf a good few years ago.

mysteryfairy · 08/03/2012 18:57

I ordered 5 things online - green and grey cardigans, the tribal skirt, the green three strand necklace and a bag. Actually ran out of a meeting at 9am to order so didn't have much time to think. I work in IT so all my male colleagues were Confused

I'm not sure how long it'll take to turn up as don't think H&M online service is normally that great.

I really wasn't sure what size to order and didn't have the option of ordering two sizes. Can anyone who bought in store advise what the sizing is like?
