Washington Snubbed AGAIN by H&M

We talk a lot about makeup here at Blended Beauté, but occasionally, we mix in a bit of fashion. This tidbit is definitely worth mentioning.  I’m joining fellow blogger, Makeda Saggau-Sackey of The Glamazon Diaries, in letting H&M know that Washington doesn’t appreciate being overlooked as if there is NO fashion sense here in the Nation’s capital. You can read Makeda’s complete post here, but the lowdown is this according to her:

“When Matthew Williamson unveiled his new collection, Washingtonians rejoiced, only to have our glee deflated by the news that we would not be getting the actual collection in our stores. Oh wait…we did get Matthew Williamson. A belt, scarves, a bag and some accessories and some caftans. Leftovers you might say…News arrived that H&M would not be carrying the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection in Washington, DC. That’s right ladies and gentlemen! If you want to snag some of the super sexy and affordable Jimmy Choo for H&M heels, dresses, blazers, clutches and duffel bags, you have to travel to New York City.”

I have shopped at H&M on occasion and what a slap in the face. Why isn’t the nation’s capital worthy enough to get a major collection in a single store? Why should customers have to travel to New York just for a piece of the pie? Corporate will be hearing from me and if you love fashion and live in the nation’s capital, let your voice be heard also. That’s exactly what Makeda plans to do:

“I am on an H&M boycott as of today because it makes me very angry that a major capital does not get their major collection in a single store. Call me a brat for crying out but I don’t care. I feel so disappointed in H&M’s decision and so I refuse to step foot in an H&M store from now on until they pay attention to Washington, DC. No mas cheap accessories and trendy clothes from H&M. No mas buying basics and seasonal pieces from you. If our money is not good enough for the Jimmy Choo collection, it certainly isn’t good enough to buy the rest of your stuff.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself! Join us in speaking up about this. The contact info for H&Ms corporate office:
