Friday Frenzy-HM Smart Buy

So here's something absurd:  I live in the northeast (Boston, MA) and I've spent the past 2 freezing months without a coat.  I'll try not to brag about the fact that I haven't gotten sick YET but that's another bizarre mystery that I have yet to discover.  Enough blabbing.  The good news is that I just purchased a reputably gorge coat from my local H&M store.  This baby was retailing at $70 and I couldn't have grabbed a better deal! I walked in the store with a 50% off coupon that I had received and it was love at first buy.  I obviously had missed the black Friday deals but who the heck wakes up the morning after Thanksgiving anyways? Regardless  I don't think this coat had been released during Thanksgiving weekend.    On to the details… the coat fits perfect on me and my body shape.  I was tired of previous knee long annoying coats that bothered me every time I sat down.  So this year, I opted for a coat that didn't go past my hips because I wanted to be comfortable in it.    I mostly fell in love with this coat because of its military look.  Takes me back to hitler and his bossy mean style, and I love that Ish! I also bought it because it isn't your regular winter coat, it has details! My favorite is the shoulder fur, it adds pizzaz to the damn thing.  I have a loving relationship with dark toned coats because who has time to wash a white coat every other day? I mean unless you're only going to use it once or twice, do yourself the favor and run away from light skinned coats.  As far as quality and durability, I don't know as of yet because I'm a first time H&M coat buyer.  I will say however that I bought a $200 Guess coat last year that ripped into pieces by the end of winter.  I mean seriously, I lost every button on it.  I do have faith in this H&M investment and it looks durable and trendy so I will keep my fingers crossed and keep stunting in my very bossy coat. Until next time Amigos!

Back to school with H&M

Every year, the beginning of the school year brings mixed emotions for we never know what lies ahead of us.  New friends, new classes, new teachers and often times a new school.  Consider taking every year as a new challenge with a new approach and different goals.  This school year is genuinely distinct for me as I am commencing my law degree after having completed my business degree, all while my youngest sibling is starting high school.  No matter what the circumstances may be, one thing is for sure; school is almost here and we do not dare begin our journeys with senseless fashion.  Take into account these attractive yet price clever pieces I recollected from H&M. (Everything EXCEPT the Essie polish is from H&M)

Back to school with H&M 

Christmas 2011

Every holiday for me is relatively different.  This christmas I wasn't able to spend it with my family, so it was bitter sweet.  Nonetheless, I made the best out of it and enjoyed this special day with my fiancee and friends.  After all at the end of the day, I'm just grateful that I still have my loving family even if they are miles away.  Since this christmas was different than last, I opted for a simple look rather than the usual holiday dress.  I'm wearing a F21 shirt, H&M skirt & my new Prada Raso Pietre Clutch.
