h&m arrives!

i'm so excited august 13th marks the arrival of h&m in the mic mac mall in dartmouth, ns.

i've found it really hard finding places to shop over here since moving from the uk nearly 7 months ago. i guess you sort of take it for granted that when you have grown up in a country and lived there for 25 years you instinctively know where to go for certain things.

i still have no idea where to buy things like bras over here in nova scotia - i have yet to find a store that stocks my size (so i get my mum to post little care packages over!)

but h&m i am familiar with. i must admit i didn't shop there much when i lived in the uk. i always found places like topshop and next to be of better quality and have a nicer fit. but h&m will be great for those 'on trend' items that i so struggle to find over here.
affordable prices too!

although i must admit i have fallen in love with the bargain basement in mills! i could have tried on everything down there looking for that amazing bargain.

i settled for the most simple three-quarter sleeve wool dress by karl lagerfeld. reduced to the most amazing price and surely will remain a wardrobe staple long after any of my h&m purchases.
