New H&M Outerwear
Thursday November 12, 2009
Took an hour lunch today to go to a new H&M grand opening ! I used to drive about 15 minutes to this other one but it was so tiny and there wasn’t much interesting in the mall it was in. Now I have one right down the road! WHOOT! :star2: AND I must say I’m loving it compared to the other ones in the DC area. Even compared to the Tyson’s Corner and Georgetown ones, this one carries more my style of clothing. (THANK GOD!) :ureshii:
Mike took a long lunch to go too and we were among the first 100 people in line which = freebie score! I got 50$ worth in gift certificates plus a t-shirt, bag, and umbrella. The lady standing next to me was kind enough to trade my M size for her S! :D It was a lot of fun because the other people in line were pretty cool and nice to talk to. Plus Godiva was passing out free dark chocolate truffles, hahaaa *_*
I ended up getting 2 new outwears! :getit: First, a parka with fur! I’ve been wanting one of these for a couple of years now, and I got it for $20 (originally 70$!) I also got a new blazer. I have one already but I liked the fabric for this one plus it’s pure black (mine has pink pinstripes) and it’s longer than my current one. :rose1:
Also started putting my lookbook together tonight! Now that I have a parka I’ve opened myself up to a bunch of new outfits I can put together! This style of coat is in just about every Japanese magazine year after year. I’m always a bit surprised by that but it’s a constant. :good::girlrage: I look pretty awkward in this year’s other trends including fur coats and leather jackets. I’ve tried on tons of different ones and they always look off on me. Oh well! Not meant to be~ :)
My dressup was sorta what I wore, hahah, pretty close at least!
These new balloons are the sh*t!!

Ahh, I wish I went to the opening of H&M here in Orlando. I wanted to skip school for it but I was way too busy that day but yay you got a $50 GC! :D
I love the parka, I wish it was colder here to wear those types of coats and that blazer is like the perfect blazer to dress up or dress down! Great buys!

-
That’s awesome that you were one of the first 100! How lucky! I wish we had an H & M where I live :'(
You found such great stuff! Makning a lookbook isn’t a bad idea..maybe I should make one too if I have time. :D
-
Love the bow t shirt + the tights (where are they from?)!!
I wish I had an H&M close by. I have to drive over an hour for the closest one :(
-
yayyy~ i love H&M~ I remember as a kid we would buy from there..Hennes och Mauritz..well my mom would, and my sister and I would think of it as a boring store…and now, I am completely obsessed!
I love the jacket! it looks so cute and cozy~~~
They just opened a new store twenty minutes from where I live…we already had one that’s 20 minutes away, so I’ll stick to my old store~ -
ohmygod! the black blazer’s a total steal! I think it looks really good with just t-shirts underneath.. and it reminds me of Jun of Vivi magazine.. (i love her style!) ohh yes, Im in love with ur floral leggings! :OO Recently I bought one of those black leggings in Vivi’s November issue and I think it’s really
-
wow, great looks. you really have a talent for recreating those styles. you even look like the models in the japanese magazines. at first, I thought you were actually japanese!
-
Oh woowww, your lookbook looks wicked!!! I’d love to do the same, since even though I love cutting out of magazines, I could never cut out of my japanese mags, i pay too much for them! lol!
-
lol i love how your poupee flower tights are so much like your ones in real life ;)
-
*prays H&M would open their store in Singapore*
*prays that I would be notified if that happens and I’ll be the first 100 to enter the first H&M store in Singapore*
*prays that there will be freebies for the first 100* -
I love H&M!! I’m very excited about Jimmy Choo for H&M. Will check it out soon!
-
Oh soo lucky on the free stuff. I couldn’t go to the grand opening here. But I think it is kind of weird that they do it on Thursdays.
I like your lookbook idea too. I should probably do something like that too. Cause I always feel like I need to buy stuff. :B
-
oOH!! that green jacket/coat looks like the one i saw on the arishop site!!!
what a great find!!!
-
cool freebies, I’ll be going to my H&M store to get some mst haves.

http://i35.tinypic.com/2mwcyg8.jpg
she was modeling f21 clothes
i guess that one was sans pocket though haha -
Yay! That’s great that you have that place much closer to you now. I wish I had an art supply store that carried the things I need closer to my house.
p.s. I love your hair! I had mine like that for a while-loved it-but i got bored and changed it quite a few times, and now I’m going to have to change it again soon. lol
-
Whoa, how awesome that you got to go to the BRAND NEW store! :D It’ll make shopping more convenient for sure!
What exactly is the lookbook, btw? A portfolio displaying the styles/pieces you love? ^_^ It sounds cute.
-
Wow the actual lookbook looks really nice. I bet you have a nice printer. Is that on cardstock?
-
JENNY! http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa1304s.html?cid=30 i saw this and thought of you. I think i am getting the black one (:
-
the pink one ^^
-
-
ooooh lookbook is totally cute!!!
-
hey! i thought id show you this picture i found of BoA wearing the same sparkle sweater from f21 that you recently bought!
-
I’m so proud that you finished your lookbook. I’m still putting mine together. Its hard when you have two wardrobes in two different homes. haha
Love the coat, its my favorite color gah!! I want it so bad! I saw one at Akira that was the same but it was nearly $400 x_x And the jacket is soooo Non-no! work it girl! You know you do! You’re such an inspiration!!
-
Store openings are always a lot of fun! There are so many great deals, but sometimes it gets a little crazy.
And it does suck when the cute trends just don’t work for you, don’t they? I have such a long torso, a lot of tops just look stupid, so I feel your pain, lol
-
Congrats on getting H&M so close to your home! :D I’ve never been to a store opening, but it sounds fun to get some freebies! :D
-
I love the new Poupee balloons they are gorgeous :D
I don’t like H&M. Everyone seems to love it but they just never have the clothes I like hehe. My sister swears by it but it’s just not for me.
-
hello Jenny :D you always have the best stuff!! Where’d you get those tights?!?!
