I was at the flagship H&M store in London on Oxford Street when I first saw her. She was hanging out with the others just sitting there maxing and relaxing all cool. When I first laid eyes on her, I was a little bit apprehensive. See the way that my luggage was set up, I didn't know if there would be additional space. So, I left her there with the agreement with myself, that if I wanted her I would return.

I wanted her. So, I returned.

Get in my luggage you, sexy patent leather midi skirt, you.

Sweet Jesus, H&M, you just speak to my soul sometimes.

Two words: This. SKIRT.

Sometimes, when you get into the habit of shopping fast fashion retailers you may need a little reminder of what a quality piece looks like. I usually hop over to the luxury retailers pretty often just to make sure I keep my eye for it.

Ya'll, this skirt was handcrafted with unicorn wings and fairy dust. No, seriously.

Memo 046: Flower Bomb Explosion!

I was a literal walking flower bomb explosion in this outfit. I took floral print to the extreme...and I liked it. Sometimes, a little of something just doesn't suffice. Sometimes and only sometimes, you need to take it to the limit.

Kind of like the peace sign. I went over board in these shots. I just kept doing it. I couldn't help myself and I'm sorry for that...
