Don’t Forget About H&M

My girls LOVE H&M.  When we visit my parents, it is the first place they
ask to go to!!!  I usually wait for them outside because the try on literally
everything.  BUT today I thought I would scope it out to find some great
things for my readers.  First of all they had the cutest blouses.  There is just a
small sampling below but the ones in the store were even cuter.  I ended up
buying the fringe top in a t-shirt style.  The dresses were also incredible.
There were so many great styles to take you into spring and summer.
I love the jewelry, especially the statement earrings (I got a pair for $5!!!!!!)
and how cute are those furry sandals!!!!???  H&M is a great place to get an
outfit pick me up without breaking the bank!!!!  Happy Shopping!!!!

Here we go again with a “white out” snow 
storm. I am sooo happy to have everyone
home but honestly this weather is really
getting old!!!  At least we have Spring
Break to look forward to.  However, 
many readersasked me for a Spring 
Break Style post.  Here you go.

amazing to wear out to dinner in Miami
