Comme des Garcons is to release a limited collection at select H&M stores on November 13.
My personal favorite is the showpiece dress, currently priced at $349 as seen in the far right of this preview picture from W magazine.
My guess is that the dress, cardigans, and shirts will easily fly out of stores. i.e. be on eBay for 3x the price by the time you manage to either locate or fight your way into the 20 H&Ms that will actually carry the line. However, I’m guessing the avante-garde clown shorts will not be on everybody’s “must have” list except for only the most daring of fashionistas.

Miriam Haskell’s 24K gold plated pendant with a lush garden of flowers and gems is positively delightful during a season when it feels like some retailers are turning to recessionary classics in tones of Puritan-plain black and grey.
Bravo Miriam!

The Laundress Stain Solution
Rating: 9/10 stains removed
Review: The Laundress is high-end laundry care when you want your beloved clothes to last. And for gals who get obsessive-compulsive highs off of doing their laundry… oops that includes me. Anyhow, the stain solution is my favorite that I’ve tried so far. It’s been able to safely remove stains my Shout spray can’t.
Trick: Apply to stain, rub in, allow to set, launder as usual. The website also features laundry tips for trickier jobs.
Packaging: Really simplistic plastic bottle. Biodegradeable, good for the environment formula.
Price: Ain’t cheap. But since a little goes a long way, I suggest starting with the 2 oz travel size at $6.00. In addition to the official website Drugstore.com also carries this fab solution.
Product sisters: Haven’t found anything that comes close.

I went to my local Anthropologie and started raiding the sale rack. Here are some of my finds:
Tulliver Blouse
Really gorgeous blouse that’s great for the vintage loving types. I like layering over a simple pink long sleeve tee and believe it or not, wearing this backwards. Interestingly it looks more modern backwards, but more vintage-y forwards. Heck, have fun playing with your clothes ;)
Pst, in-store this costs about $39 but online it’s $89 even on sale….
Ruffled Polo
This tee looks more sporty untied, but tied up it has a very pretty-girl look with the ruffled collar and bow. Unfortunately both in-store and online it’s $29. But just a gorgeously soft cotton.
