H and M comes thru again...

H&M is proving to be my go-to spring/summer store. While I'll admit that sometimes it can be a bit too
Euro-23-year-old-ish, most of the time their styles are totally doable for just about anybody. I'm loving their bright colour-blocking pieces (though I didn't buy any this time) and their summery pastels and whites. Even better, the prices are ridiculous- they're practically giving their stuff away.
However,
Dear H&M, please start steaming your merchandise before you hang it on the racks. This was a seriously wrinkled haul and Mama hates ironing!

{I'll get my Chloe inspired bag on the cheap, only 10 bucks! }
{ Roar for more animal prints}
 {This top is black not grey but my Nikon disagrees}
 {Ughhhh,  ironing blazers suckssss -why do you do this to me H&M?}
 {pretty in (peachy)pink}
 {White pants are the epitome of summer. But since I practically live at the North Pole I almost never wear them here. These ones are heading to Greece with me}

I'm finally wrapping my mind around the idea of warmer weather clothing. The farmers almanac says it's supposed to be a "super hot year" but I'll believe it when I see it.  Right now I'm still hoping my garden/flowers don't get killed by our cold nights, we're still having frost warnings. Even in June there's no guarantee that we won't get a bit of snow...
But today the sun is shining and its 23 degrees Celsius out. I'm off to the greenhouse to buy more plants for my flower beds- I might wear my white pants.

Bravo Italian Vogue!

Check out the gorgeous June 2011 cover of Vogue Italia magazine. The ladies are smoldering with sexiness and I'm thinking that even Sophia Loren would approve. 
 These girls all happen to be plus size models from Ford+ and the Wilhelmina WCurve agencies.
I love that Italian Vogue is willing to show women of all sizes without the edition being specifically about the inclusion of "plus sized" models.  
It's just a photo-shoot with curvy models and it's no big deal. As it should be...

Congrats Kids!

I set my alarm clock to get up to watch the Royal Wedding. However I couldn't manage to yank my tired rear out of bed so I'll be watching it tonight in it's entirety. 
Everyone in the blogosphere is writing about this and I'll keep it simple by summing up Kate's dress.  
Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen nailed it! This dress is perfection....on Kate.
Defo not my personal style, I prefer more poof, bling and wow
But for such a formal occasion and because of who she's marrying, this dress could not be better.

Congrats kids...time to get your par-tay on.!
