Alexander Wang for H&M

H&M are always on point when it comes to high street meets high end collaborations. In 2004 Karl Lagerfeld kicked things off with a collection that was supposed be be in stores for 2 weeks, yet lasted just 1 day as people flocked in a mass panic to buy as much Lagerfeld as they could. The year after saw a collaboration with Stella McCartney and then Roberto Cavalli, Jimmy Choo and Versace, just to name a few!

And then, announced at Coachella last month, Alexander Wang will be the next designer to team up with the high street brand to create an affordable yet luxe collection. Wang has said that he aims to create "Clothes that girls want to wear" (1) and as of November 6th ladies....we will be able to afford to!

Krakow - Poland

So back in December (yes, this post is way overdue) me and my boyfriend took a trip to Krakow, Poland. The main reason we chose Poland? It's cheap as anything and the flights from Scotland cost next to nothing, so when we arrived, safe to say we were not expecting much. However, although the weather in December was freaking freezing, Krakow is an amazing place with so much to do and see - it was probably one of the best holidays I've ever been on!

I can highly recommend Wodka Cafe Bar, the ultimate Polish vodka bar with an near unlimited selection of Vodka. We may or may not have visited here every night of our holiday...

We also took day trips to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, which was so amazing and Auschwitz-Birkenau - which was really emotional but I think it is important to visit to have a real understanding on what took place there.
We booked both trips through our hotel: Hotel Home, which was a really modern, quirky place with super helpful staff!

Also, can I just mention that Krakow has both Sephora AND Cinnabon. Yes, it was heaven.
