How I shop: One for You, Two for Me

Yesterday I went shopping for Jen's birthday present. Unfortunatly I couldn't contain myself for just shopping for her, so I ended up picking up a few things for myself. Here is what I picked up for myself.


Forever 21 Bow Earrings, Forever 21 Stud belt, O.P.I Done out in Deco.

I stopped in H&M to see if any of the Garden Collection pieces were in, there was a lot but I didn't end up getting any. I did get a couple tops, a vest and a top that I thought looked similar to the Kristen top I was one the hunt for (which a reader did locate for me!)Also an Etsy order arrived yesterday. I purchased some really cute vintage earrings from the Etsy store Petal and Pink. Thank you Erin!! I hope to wear them soon!

  1. Good to know I'm not the only one who can't resist buying for themselves when they're shopping for other people. :) Those Petal and Pink earrings are so adorable!

  7. I almost grabbed that vest but I resisted. I am sure I am gonna regret it later when you combine it with one of your stylish outfits. Ah! If I have learned something about H&M, is that if you see something you better grab it because it might not be there the next time. Oh well. I am going back next week to check out more of the Garden collection items since my store did not have them all out yet. But I love the pieces you got, good purchases!

  9. I have been seeing a ton of the H&M Garden Collection lately. I picked up one of the tops this week, a peachy pink tank with roses in chiffon down the middle. I'm dying for the red dress I keep seeing on-line! I also got one of the shirts with lace detailing on the sleeves that I see here in your post. Very sweet for Spring!

  10. Thanks Mrs. D. I thought they so cute and a bit Different.

    Danielle.- I am thinking skinny jeans and tank. Maybe over a tunic. Not totally sure. I like little vest like that because they are easy to just throw on and add alitte something to an outfit.

    Rachel_ I too, am glad I am not the only one who does that! OK good to know. I actually threw it on my In the Moment dress when I bought it.

    Thank Cassie!


    Thank Hita! I will have to check out your store!
