Shopping Therapy Rocks On

Si In and Marc are in town (their first mainland trip yay!) so I met up with them on Market St. after they wandered Chinatown. I hustled them to the different shops/Westfield and they had a blast! Or I hope they did. Si In was particularly excited about Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, H&M, and Forever 21 (because it is 3 stories). She also managed to find things at Marshall's and Urban Outfitters. Marc got something at North Face before I even met up with them and at B&BW.

I took them to Blondie's for pizza (snack) and we later yelped a good Vietnamese place on Howard St. since pho is a mutual good choice for everyone.

Happy is me who gets a shopping buddy. H&M just had a new collection from Matthew Williamson come out last Thursday so I was way stoked about checking out the new season in general. I found lots of stuff I liked but ended up with 4 that actually looked good. Other than sticking to my normal darks and cools (and the occasional neutral), I added a top that's a splash of this summer's hot sizzling color, a vibrant orange. It's not tacky, I promise. And this is coming from someone who has actively avoided yellow and orange in pretty much anything I own. Divided (H&M) had a really awesome grey/silver skirt that looks edgy (slightly punk) and that's something I've always admired but never had the guts to try so now I'm trying it. I ended up purchasing it and I'm going to figure out an outfit with it! I bought one thing at Urban Outfitters and it's a slouchy shirt that my group in Styling last quarter used for one of the outfits. It has a happy face and says "Oui" on it. Very adorable. Now my mission is belts. I really need an assortment of belts.
