H&M - I heart you!



So there was a serious lack of updates here for the past 4 months, my apologies - I was just having the time of my life driving all over Europe with my Danny in a little Peugeot 207 named Claudia - Seeing amazing things, eating delicious new foods, shopping in new stores, meeting friends both new and old - it was all too good to be true! And while I wish that it could have lasted the rest of my lifetime - here I am back in Sydney back to my boring old life, suffering from post holiday depression. Every now and then I have these flashbacks ... riding my bike through little backstreets in Paris, riding a camel named Shareef through the Saharan desert in Morocco, eating ice-cream on a pier in Barcelona - the list goes on.




However one of my favourite memories in Europe is falling head over heels in love with H&M, now for those of you who are unfamiliar with H&M. It is a Swedish clothing store that caters to men, women and children. They have all the latest styles and pieces at amazingly cheap prices! Think the wonderfulness of Ikea but relate it all to fashion.

I quite literally couldn't resist slipping into H&M where ever I happened to be, it didn't help my credit card that H&M has shops in almost every country in Europe either, but what's a girl to do? And at such reasonable prices, my baggage seemed to be growing at an alarming rate every with city I visited.



So not only do they have amazingly up to date fashion at very reasonable prices, they are sure to kit you out starting from your underwear right through to finishing touches like the shoes bags and accessories, they really haven't missed a beat!

But wait, I haven't even mentioned the best part, with H&M reaching such a large market of women and men all over the world top designers are literally fighting to design tweaked and affordable collections that are ready and good to go. Need names? Try Karl Lagerfeld, Jimmy Choo, Stella McCartney, Viktor and Rolf just to name a few.



But why am I rubbing this in? With H&M in over 37 countries and rapidly expanding - there's bound to be one in the works for Australia along the line somewhere - so get excited!

They are currently updating the website and have just introduced online shopping, however only shipping to the UK (big sad face!) but I can only imagine that it will soon spread and hopefully down under to our corner of the world -fingers crossed!

In the meantime go and check out their latest collection online!
