Since the beginning of April, when it was first announced that Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons would be the next designer to create a range for H&M, bloggers all over the world have been getting incredibly over-excited.

After seeing all the pieces online at nitro:licious, I think that this is surely the most perfect high street/designer pairing we've yet to see. I have often - completely unrealistically - longed for some CDG in my wardrobe and this could be my chance to grab a piece.
There have been lots of comments online about this being too pricey for H&M, but the priciest item in the range is this stellar dress-- first image and below left -- at $350 (£170ish - I'm hoping H&M will translate the prices fairly!), which is a complete bargain for a Comme des Garçons piece.
The two pieces I'm most excited about are this gorgeous bag, which also comes in navy blue and navy blue anything is bound to get me over excited.
And speaking of navy blue... I'm also head over heels for this beautifully cut trench. I hope it's as nice on me as it looks here! If I buy anything, it'll probably be this piece. I need a navy coat and hopefully it'll be cheap enough for me not to worry too much over buying it.
I really like the menswear too: I also wouldn't mind grabbing one of these polka-dot polo shirts for my boyfriend R, as I think he'd look great in it.
The pieces go on sale in Tokyo first on November 1st and will hit the rest of the world on November 13th. Only two more weeks to wait now, boys and girls!
