I just had the urge to make promotional blog graphics for my blog. As you can see I already had a few on the right sidebar of my blog. They are MMM and Versace inspired! Well... it wasn't really my attention to steal their look. It's just that they look so amazing! and the style of their iconic look, brilliant. However, someday I'll make my own. It's just that I'm extremely inspired after I got my MMM Duvet Coat and reading an article about how to promote my blog. It is really interesting!

Something huh? I'm going to work on those points! It feels like my search for fellow anorexic wallets is going to be one great adventure! 



 "Each new post acts as a new entry point for search engines to find your blogs."

 


Wall-E is airing on TV over 15 min. Before that I just need to tell you that my Maison Martin Margiela for H&M just arrived! and I ordered it three days ago on the the actual H&M web-shop! It really goes fast! The thing is, I never told my parents I would order something this big from the H&M - it came in a large box - Of course they were curious what I've got, but will they understand why I bought it?

I'll tell you this. The review on the Martin Margiela Collection for H&M weren't so positive at all. and that's just because of the look of the collection, the over-sized wearables. But I've learned from my teachings on the art academy, Martin Margiela is all about modern art. 

"Martin Margiela is revolting against the luxurious fashion world with garments of over-sized proportions such as long arms, and with linings, seams and hems on the outside."

Their concept is deconstruction.




I personally never thought I would be fond of this style. But as school thought me, it's interesting, and refreshing. It's a new kind of uniqueness, something the society we now live in won't accept easily because it's not "beautiful". But I rather look different than be part of a sub-culture brainwashed zombiefied citizen. Ok, maybe I go to far pre-judging, it's everyone's personal taste. It's a natural thing for human being to "fit" in a certain place, a group. So I shouldn't blame them. The E-slap is on me ; )




However. I'm happy it arrived. It's now certain that I'm going to be on -259 euro's in red in my bank account. and Wall-E is about to start. I'm prepared for the consequence's of obtaining a real Martin Margiela as a poor unfortunate soul with an anorexic wallet! I'm ready and I've learned!





Totally rocking my new Duvet Coat in my room! Now I need to find the courage to also wear it outside! Please let it be an early white Christmas! - Just to blend in with the snow - Kidding!
Ps: Not my video, just a review to see how my the MMM Duvet Coat looks like!


I just received an e-mail from the seller on Ebay. and I totally know that it's about me winning the MMM Duvet Coat with the highest bid. But I can't have two of the same coat?! That's going to be two times 259.- euro's/ 618.- !!! Even better, I'm getting doubts of whether to but the MMM Duvet Coat or the MMM Pea Coat, for which I'm slowly falling in love with too. How can I retain myself?

I can...

  • stop browsing the Internet for a while, just to get the MMM for H&M Collection out of my mind, and the spotlight. It's everywhere!
  • get to art. I'm on an art academy, and soon hopefully a CEO for a new upcoming company i'll be starting with my best Pigeonic friend.
  • sleep and forget it all. - maybe the easy way out -
Anyhow, I can't keep the e-mail unread, but yet at the other side, I'm scared to confront what I've done to myself. I've been told in the beginning that I shouldn't be bidding on Ebay, and still I've done it, just for the MMM Duvet Coat. and to think of it... was it worth it? I'm still not sure. I'm not a fashion-guru type at all - starting one - but you see, the amazing collaboration H&M is doing with amazing guest designers I've never heard of! It's so inspiring! Have you seen the Silent Manifesto of MMMxH&M? Here's a little video. So inspiring!

 

After posting this little clip, the second e-mail arrived with a little I can read in description:

"Well Done, for the next step you have to pay! Congratulations with your purchase!" 


I'm not feeling so well... Hey it's just Internet,right? I'll just see what comes next if I don't take any actions. I might get suspended from Ebay, but I asked for it. Such punishment... I'm suffering little by little...



I kept trying canceling my last bid on Ebay, when this message suddenly until:

"Invalid Item
The item you requested (200853164176) is invalid, still pending, or no longer in our database. Please check the number and try again. If this message persists, the item has either not started and is not yet available for viewing, or has expired and is no longer available."

Am I saved?


Where did I lead myself into! I'm in the biggest problem to ever think of currently. Since the Martin Margiela for H&M came out I desperately wanted the Duvet Coat or the Candy Wrapper Clutch, so, to not think of that the collection would sell out this quickly in the H&M web-shop... I did continue my search on Ebay because I was literary dying for it. When I entered this evil place, a forbidden apple caught my attention named Bidding. Yes, I actually bidded for the first time. I bidded straight away without reading the rules and knowing it's consequences!

"As a general rule, you can't retract or cancel a bid. When you place a bid, you agree to pay for the item if you're the winning bidder"

Which I found out 30 minutes ago. Well, you can't imagine the worst case. If my extreme possession personality scales from 1 to 10 it definitely is a fat 9 - mainly cause I can't decide that quickly and create buck-loads of dilemma for a simple pick- So I bidden on 7 different MMM Duvet Coats on Ebay, all 2x the actual price. Yes, I would stab myself now. But Luckily... I've been outbid on 5 items already and had the chance to cancel 1. So that makes the case a bit easier for me, I almost had a nerve breakdown receiving, two not in the good mood messages from the sellers them self, saying that they won't take my bid away and had to buy it when the bid ends. I swear I want to strangle myself right now for that action.



So that makes me stuck with one 1 bid currently which will end in 1 hour now... I'm pretty scared, because I bought my MMM Duvet Coat already in the H&M web-shop, and I couldn't retract this one and only bid because that action had to be taken 12 hours before the bid ends!
... really if my parents find out of this bid, I'm dead meat. I already explained the seller the cause of canceling my bid, but that wasn't enough. So, I came up with a plan.

I won't do anything.

When the bid ends with my name on it as highest bidder, I will ignore it to the end. Wise decision? I read my Ebay account might get suspended or even deleted. -Sigh- for the sake of my poor anorexic wallet, it's better that way. There is always Etsy, and the H&M web-shop where they don't sell guest designer items for 2x the price.

So, stick with me while I silently panic in a corner, waiting what to happen when the bid ends... I'm worried and scared. What to do?! I'll update the happenings after the bid ends. -Inner Cry- Please stick with me to the bitter end. I have nothing or no-one to cling on to.


I just don't know what to do with myself...



Ugh I did it again. I ordered a X-mas Pack for Christmas. It was only 9,95.- with 4,95.- shipping cost, making it 14,90.- For Christmas! A X-mas Pack. Somehow I feel just fine purchasing it. For the sake of X-mas really. Or maybe because I'm just hungry at the moment. Did I made a bad decision? Hey, I'm religious, I believe in Jesus but I drink a little. Sorry wallet, I don't want to go to hell.




But to make up my guilt feelings for the action I took for ordering a X-mas pack while my bank account i
s in 76.- red. - H&M didn't took the 259.- for the MM6 Duvet Coat yet, woohoo! / which I'll be expecting next week between 3 & 7 December. I'll totally review it on my blog! - I will be focusing on the good times I'll be having during Christmas with the pack I ordered.

I'll be experiencing my new high-score for a red bank-account, and I already have my eyes on a few Versace for H&M items?! I couldn't help myself browsing back to quest designers for H&M on Ebay, just to see if the price dropped. But no, they're 5x the original price. But I've seen some cheaper. Should I buy it?

The items I totally want next, it's from the Versace for H&M campaign. and I have my weakness, I answered Versace's call. I must punish myself.



Even the jewelry looks very very amazing, I want my whole arms full of it! I'm really, not an accessory type of person, but when I saw this. I swear to god, I would be so happy I could die if I ever get the chance to claim them.

 


I'll admit it. I just searched for MM6's candy clutch on Ebay, since they were sold out in the H&M online store. They were gone in a finger-snap! I'm regretting the choice of buying the Duvet Coat instead of the pretty platinum Candy Clutch. I happen to be known of carrying adorable pouches with spare coins around. Don't ask me if they're still stuffed, each one is anorexic. Spending coins goes way easier than digital money or paychecks - carrying so many coins around gets exhausting you know...- 

Well I'll just wait for my Duvet Coat, Candy Clutch will be always around. But they sell it for 3x the price! Ridiculous. 
To think of that, I must order some before they start to ask 5x the price or worser than that! NO! I can resist this... But then I can't. I must! – Self slap – I totally needed that. 

I'm suffering internal multiple personalities. I'm going mad over a fashion accessory! I need support! The only support I have at the moment is my uber large lady gaga poster staring at me. As if she's saying “bitch, I'm lady gaga and you can do it!” or it can be, “You're a free bitch baby, as I'm Lady Gaga, I say you are born that way, buy that Candy Clutch”. Gaga, you're no help! Where are those sunglasses of yours and cover those eyes. As if that would sugarcoat the drama...







As I'm waiting for my MM6 duvet coat to arrive at home, I must spill WHY I really bought it. I mean come on, who doesn't want a duvet as a coat? I totally fell in love with this whole sleepy, themed, outfit. I can't wait to wear it. Hopefully it's like the commercial where a fashionable dove lands on the top edge of the coat, it would be the most amazing accessory ever. Wearing it outside you say? I will, and must, it's not worth the 259 euro's to wear it as a bathrobe, hell no. This coat it going to see the world! I'm going to promise you, and my clinging on death wallet, that the purchase was worth the sacrifice. I just need the support, however, the closest support I have is now 3000km away from me, enjoying life under the palm trees.

But to think of the bright side of this story, winter is coming... The Khaleesi totally would purchase MM6 duvet coat too if she knows that Mr. Snow will be knocking on her door soon. I totally rely on her choice, it's just that I had enough with my three dragons than a duvet coat to keep me warm during winter. It's the look! The horrible look of the MM6 duvet coat that makes me want to wear it. I love it so much!!! – Duvet orgasm.

I'll shut up for now.



So I started my one of the many blogs about my personal struggle. And hopefully I get to stick with only one for from now on, after the many many many failed attempts.
It's not like someone is actually going to read my blog in the beginning since it's all new and all. But, I can keep this between me and my blog for now.
You know, I'll just pretend someone is reading this. It could be anyone with the same situation I'm in : )!

However, this blog will be about me and my addiction of spending my money so extremely quick. I know there are people out there like me! And, trust me, I wasn't like this in the beginning. It all started with the Versace for H&M clothing line. I totally didn't relate to fashion at all! It's just that the campaign was so attractive - no shit ... - and, you know, I, for the first time really, absolutely wanted to wear their clothes. They looked, so fine... so fine. 




Anyway, in a … way it actually didn't start with the Versace for H&M campaign. I managed to get hold of myself and totally ignored Versace's phone calls for a visit. I did kept the Versace for H&M brochure's. - I'm a graduate graphic/web designer, those brochure might help me out with inspiration, totally normal designer behavior, right? -. after awhile, I managed to keep a distance from H&M. I didn't know how many quest designers i missed, but for my own good, my wallet was healthy :)
But then, Marni for H&M caught my attention. I, Moi, like to reward myself after some heavy deeds, so I bought a Marni Blazer for almost 100 euro's. Oh boy, I felt so fashionable! It was my first and happiest decision I ever made. I totally bragged about my new blazer that month. So I totally earned that blazer, anyhow, my wallet lost a few pounds, but I trust myself in getting him healthy as it was in the first place!



A new year, graduated, and attended the art academy. It was the period where my wallet started to give signs of anorexia. But I still felt comfortable - LOL-. There is something we all have to back us up when our wallet gets close from money hydration. Parents. Yes, I still rely on them. Since I'm still stuck with the most annoying -in my opinion- low-paying-job ever, which I won't speak of. So I'll just skip to the main cause of this blog, between where I just started about parents and now, long long long story, I don't want to bore you out! You must visit my blog everyday, fun fun fun : D!

So, Maison Martin Margiela (MM6) for H&M... I already got injected with modern art on the academy, and it seems that my interest for haute couture in fashion grew. MM6's line is pretty much haute couture, you need the dare to wear over sized clothing (which was most of MM6's wearable's) I saw it as a statement for “born this way”, “born to wear over sized clothing” or more like “born to stick out of the crowd”. Yes, I want to stick out of the crowed, but yet, I don't have the friggin' guts to do so...

Away from my stupidity and idealism of being a free bitch baby, I made the dumbest, maybe the cleverest decision ever. I bought the MM6 Duvet Coat Online for 259,- at H&M'z web-shop. The other side of me was having a seizure, well he wasn't the only one, My darling wallet had it 100x worse! I'd be lying to you if I say that looking at this poor thing didn't gave me a slight of a seizure myself!

I'm already in -70, – in red while still owing bamboo inc. 60,- for my tablet which I have in my house for 2 months unpaid! H&M's skinny jeans for 24,- which I bought 3 months ago ( apparently H&M is really easy going when it comes to paychecks ). Which makes me come to -389, – in red. My wallet is clinging on the edge of death (sadly no glory). Well maybe it already is... One thing is sure, there won't be a funeral! I so believe there are many more people with a worser case than I am. But, I felt lonely, and I needed to get this spilled, to who? I don't know. The main reason of this blog is, I'm scared. And I totally going to spread out my experience to help those that are in the begin stage, of being an shopaholic, self-proclaimed fashion icon with an anorexic wallet! You're not alone!

Speaking about wallets, the MM6 candy clutch totally looks amazing, silver or platinum pink?

HELP!
