Click here to shop.

You heard it right--- as of this morning, everyone across the US. Yep, even you folks in Nacogdoches can now shop at H&M thanks to the launch of their new website. The e-commerce experience will include women's, plus-size, men's, teens, and children, and exclusive "online-only" items you won't even be able to find at the NYC flagship. And the most exciting news of all— H&M home will also be available, which is not even sold in stores in the states. And how affordable and cool does their home stuff look? I have a feeling they are going to give Target a run for their money. Shoppers- start your engines. Click here to shop.

Good to Know: Make sure you sign up for H&M's newsletters because they are giving you free shipping until August 15th 2013. Click here to sign up.

H&M HOME SITE PREVIEW:

New York City Girl.

It is so crazy to me that in one month I will celebrate my 3 year anniversary as a "New York City Girl."  WOW, how time fly's.  It feels like just yesterday I was dropped off in LES fresh out of college with 2 suitcases and the rest to figure out.  What was I thinking? I still look back to that day and picture myself sitting on the sidewalk looking so lost and out of place with my suitcases larger than me trying to get a hold of my college girlfriend and roomie-to-be, Kristen Malone who I was suppose to be staying with until we found an apartment together.

I could obviously go on forever telling stories about all of the life lessons New York City has taught me and how much I have grown as a person, but I won't bored you with that. Instead, I thought I would post a few images that I found on pinterest that spoke to me(inspirational and funny) about my amazing experience I've had these past 3 years becoming a "New York City Girl." Move over Manhattan!

Book of the Week: Kate Spade: "Things We Love."

With all my excitement about Kate Spades new book release, "Things We Love."  I made it a mission of mine hunt down a copy in NYC a few weeks ago- in fact I purchased the last copy in store at Barnes and Noble in Union Square.

Yes, I could have waited and ordered it online; but when I make up my mind that I want something; You better believe I figured out a way to get it. Plus, I knew I couldn't wait a week for it to ship. (If your smart however, you will purchase it online and save yourself a trip to the ​bookstore and $10.)

Talk about pages and pages of charming and colorful inspiration! From funny and quirky quotes, bold patterns, beautiful type, and images that could make anyone happy. I could seriously go to town with a pair of scissors to the pages of this book, just so I could frame every page and hang them all on my wall. Luckily the beautifully done gold page edges are keeping me away-- for the time being that is. ;) 

 BUY IT: KATE SPADE: "Things We Love." - $25 - 40
