{That orange blouse is going to be spotted all over the blogosphere. I didn't end up buying it but I think every other lady at the event did!} 


Walking into the grand opening of the H&M in Metrotown was surreal. The racks of clothing were untouched, there was wine and delicious appy's all around and everything was 20% off. Within minutes of arriving all of us ladies had arms full of amazing pieces, a cocktail in our hands and we still managed to chat and say hello to all our fellow bloggers.

That's talent my friends.

It was such a great evening and to top it off I got to meet some more of my favourite Vancouver bloggers. I managed to pick up a few goodies that I will be showing all of you very soon.

Thanks so much to LJ PR and H&M for putting on this event. If you haven't gone to check out the new H&M in Metrotown then I hope you get the opportunity to soon. It's 2 floors of shopping amazingness... I may or may not be already planning my next shopping trip.

  2. I am in love with your blazer! Lace and gray = amazing. Also I am super jealous of your pool. If you can have one in Canada I should be able to convince my husband that we need one in Minnesota!

  4. I was there on Wednesday night as well and was really impressed with the new store-it's much more open and easy to move around in than the downtown location. I couldn't enjoy the cocktails since I was driving but my friend really enjoyed them! I only picked up a couple of things, some accessories and a silky horse printed blouse.

    Your lace blazer is just gorgeous-very unique piece.

  9. Oh Melissa! I haven't had the chance to comment on any of your posts. But I do read :)

    LOOOOVE the blouse you're wearing. That burnt orange is to die for!! And those darling details! GAH!

    H&M is quite beautiful at Metrotown. It makes all the other H&M look like shambles. Love it.I didn't go to the opening :( but went the very next day and got myself a $10 polkadot dress. SO gorgeous and at a bargain!

  10. I know that when you said "I didn't buy that orange blouse," what you really meant was "I didn't buy it for me but I'm sending it to MF b/c I love her and she loves orange and doesn't have an H&M nearby." Thank you so much.

  11. Yeahhhh I'm seconding Monkeyface's comment. Because you just knew we don't have H&M in New Zealand and that I would fall in love with that orange blouse as soon as I saw it. ;)

    Being serious now, I am obsessed with your blazer! I love how you wore it and this sounds like so much fun.
