H&M


James Reese shirt
Steve Madden Flats
Mother's jewelry
Citizens of Humanity jeans

Today after going to my interview at Lush (which was rescheduled for Monday) I dropped by the H&M that opened up in Atlantic Station. I wish I'd brought my camera. I've read a lot about what H&Ms are like in other countries, usually very messy and disorganized. With all the people running in and out, it was pretty messy. I dropped by at like 4 and there was line winding around. I decided to stand in it considering I wanted to finish listening to a podcast (Variant Frequencies). The line went by fast, I was only standing in it for a minute at most.

When I went inside, I noticed lots of yellow and florals. Somehow I was hoping that the floorset for Fall would already be there. I saw a lot of things I liked and a lot of things I didn't particularly care for. I was really surprised at how big it was. It was two floors and had sections for underwear, men, teens, and small children. Somehow I thought it would've been more like F21 and Topshop.

At any rate, overall I was pleased. I plan to go back and get some cheap wifebeaters, maybe that bright pink highwaist skirt, a lovely ruffle top that comes in a solid and in a dark floral (the one Karla has) and maybe that long black jumper dress. Oh and lots of scarves. They were all very soft and with fringe.

  6. Thanks, you guys!

    sugar pop: well if you don't have an H&M near you it's only a matter of time.

    knightcat: they're actually just metal. I want some feather earrings though

    asiancajuns: yes it did take a lot of bravery. People were even pushing and shoving, it was ridiculous.

  8. I love your cool and chic outfit. Very stylish!

    I like H&M a lot, and I actually feel good there because the atmosphere is so relaxed, and exactly, there are so many scarves and accessories at affordable prices. Good luck getting some of those!

  10. H&M doesn't give me a headache like Forever 21 does, though I love both, H&M is definitely my favorite of the two. I usually stop by H&M once a week on my way home from work, just to see if anything is new!

    Those jeans look fabulous on you!

  12. kd + the stylish wanderer: thank you!

    ida: I plan to go back once the madness calms down and then maybe I'll try to drop by every week or every other week, just to look at what they have and maybe what's on sale.

    ambika: for sure. I wish my mother had kept more of her jewellery though. It's all really amazing in her photographs.

  13. Aww, I was there at probably the same time . . . now I wish I would have waited in line!!

    And I know what you mean about H&Ms too because they can all be so different, and you can go in one month and the clothes are no good, but the next they may be wonderful.
