H&M Launch

After months of waiting, the H&M flagship store in Melbourne at the GPO building has finally opened! The first nationwide Swedish retailer had its launch party on Thursday 3^rd before opening its doors on Saturday 5^th to the public. The store is one of the largest in the world which takes up the entire building and houses Australian exclusives as well as 4 departments: men, women, children and home.

During the launch party on Thursday 3^rd celebrities, designers, media and bloggers flocked the red carpet, and yes, I will admit it. I am one of the many who wished they were there AND that they could be there now to shop the amazing 3 levels. But if you love shopping, love H&M, who wouldn’t?

With beautiful furnishings which add to the atmosphere, the clothes, accessories, home ware and bits and bobs shine. The store becomes heavenly and I don’t think anyone would want to leave!

Here are some photos from the night and my overall favourites for the up-coming months!

Biker jacket $59.95 | Wide skirt $69.95 

Ankle boots $39.95 | Handbag $27.95 While studying for mid-semester exams, I’m also planning a Melbourne trip for a little shopping; I think shopping is definitely on the cards since H&M’s arrival. Don’t you agree?  ... and after looking at this now, I realised I’ve made an entire look! An outfit with a bit of blush and leather is always amazing and perfect for the upcoming months. A pop of colour is always best. Enjoy! Mon x  Imagesource

A Ring For Every Finger

L to R: M Ring, X Ring, Spirit Fine Skull Ring, Babyanything Fine Heart Ring, O Ring, The Prince Aquarmine Teardrop Ring, Destiny Sterling Silver Ring, The ‘LadyCapulet’ Diamond Ring, & Ring, Heart Ring

As per usual I am awake and the first thing I do is check instagram. I browse through my feed first, liking everything from scenery to layouts to food; secondly I check my likes and any comments, and today there was nothing so I quickly turn to exploring vsco tags. Through my continuous browsing this morning and previous browsing I’ve found numerous stores and I’m in complete love. 

Love? Yes, love. I have been in love with rings for quite some time and since the midi rings came into the fashion world, I cannot stop – losing some along the way of course. I remember buying my first ring stack from Lovisa and picking only the tiniest in size to put on my fingers. I loved the trend from the get go. I had rings on nearly every finger with some having two – as you do with a compulsion with rings and as I said, I couldn’t stop, so the more I bought, the more I lost. 

Obviously the price ranges vary and this is where it gets me every time. Don’t get me wrong, I would happily buy jewellery from Lovisa but I am compelled to buy rings from Baby Anything and Chainless Brain because they are just TOO adorable! 

Again, my love hate relationship with fashion is so obvious because the rings made out of gold and rose gold 18ct will of course be expensive, particularly being hand-made and I love that about these two stores. I know the hard work that goes into making them. My love is definitely being sent to you for making such amazing creations. 

Above are my favourites and yes, I do occasionally stroke the computer screen wishing they were mine hehe. It makes me wonder if I would ever lose them because rings love to slip off my fingers. I think I’d stick them onto my fingers so I’d never those them!
