H&M: under $25 picks with Free Shipping on all orders!

I'll be taking advantage of H&M's free shipping offer since it rarely happens and...wait, do I really need a reason to shop? So many new arrivals at the store combined with clearance deals make this a dangerous combo for my credit card.  Here are some of the items I may be ordering.

Happy Shopping!

Blue + Orange + White Notebook

One of my favorite color combos to wear in the summer are shades of blue paired with pops of orange. Maybe because my uniform usually consists of denim, so I can easily add that splash of color without being over the top.

Even though I am in the middle of a heatwave, I still love lightweight sweaters to throw on while I am on my imaginary beach, I mean the mall of course.  Yes, that sweatshirt dress from the Gap may be on the heavier side for this weather, but it's not hot all the time, especially if you are working in air conditioning. One again, I'll be adding new sunglasses to my growing collection, because you cannot go wrong with Forever 21 sunnies. While I usually like to keep items under thirty dollars, I couldn't resist adding these Jessica Simpson wedges into the mix after seeing them for full price at Macy's!

What do you think - do you like to add a pop of orange to a blue color palette?

Currently Craving: Vacation Style under $20

Los Angeles is in the middle of a major heat wave this week and it has me wishing for a nice breeze on a tropical beach...or at least temps under 90 degrees! There was even a power outage to go along with the 100 degree weather, so I'm stocking up on shorts and plenty of summer hats to protect my pale skin. These are all items I've seen this week (with the exception of the new Essie neon collection, I want every shade!) and the six dollar tank at H&M is something I'll be buying in every color.

Style Board: Inspired by Kate Hudson

When I saw a picture of Kate Hudson at the "Decades of Glamour" event, I fell head over heels for this gorgeous shade of bright yellow. Paired with white for a fresh and chic look (my favorite kind of style!). Since then, I've seen this vibrant color popping up at virtually every store. I couldn't resist also adding a bit of the Irish with some green and floral for St.Patrick's Day. After finding the Peter Pilotto sunnies at the Target launch, I'm becoming addicted to mod styles and shades to add a super affordable punch to your look.

Trend Report: Daisy prints under $25

Everything's coming up daisies for spring! This fresh retro look is more popular than ever this season, with almost every store in the mall showing some version of the daisy trend. Since this falls under the trend category of fashion, there is never any need to spend more than you have to! Here are a few of my under $25 favorites I've seen so far with the cute Zara top showing off the daisy pattern in the newly trending watercolor style.

What do you think of this print - will you wear it?

Celebrity Style Notebook: Taylor Swift wearing H&M!

Taylor Swift wearing a $15 retro-style polka dress from H&M while out shopping in Los Angeles is creating all sorts of online buzz. Celebrity style is usual way out of the average person's affordable budget, but since this is the actual dress and it is currently in stock (although not for long I'm sure!), you can get chic like a star. Even if you aren't feeling the Taylor love, the dress is very cute and easy to wear for a casual weekend. While I don't own this dress, I have seen it many times in various colors and keep in mind, it is not a super short dress, Taylor is just a tall girl.

What do think - would you wear a Taylor approved dress?

H&M Dress $14.95

Also available in a cool marbled grey and textured red

What I'm Loving Now: Hint of Mint

One of my favorite colors every spring is mint and for those of you in the minty-fresh fashion club, it's sporting a fresh new look paired with a darker hue or denim. The color is also the perfect shade to transition your winter wardrobe into the new season. It's no surprise that many of my favorites are from Target, their shoe collection in the last two weeks has been amazing and don't be afraid to rock some loafers, a chic staple in the Michael Kors brand.

12 Tuesday Temptations under $30

I'm looking forward to wearing some brighter spring shades paired with the always fashionable, basic black. Thanks to some slightly cooler temps here in Los Angeles and inspired by New York fashion week, this classic trench coat caught my eye. I cannot get enough statement tees or sweatshirts (if you are a regular reader you know what an addict I am!) and this ironic take on Vogue magazine is too much for me to handle...I just love it! So many temptations this week.

Mood Board: Pop of Pink under $30

Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching and it's put me in the mood for a pop of pink! Yes, I am a lover of all shades of pink (please don't hate me!) and I especially love to wear hot pink with black to balance out the girliness of the look and of course add a little Parisian flair. After my shopping super bowl on Sunday, these are all items I'll be adding to my spring wish list.

Celeb Style Notebook: Reese Witherspoon + Sale Codes + Free Weekend Deals!!

I am always a fan of Reese Witherspoon's easy and chic style. She puts the prep in her (Christian Louboutin ) step and looks pulled together for a day of errands in Beverly Hills this week. Reese's shoes would cost you almost $600 and her Saint Laurent bag is close to $3,000! I found some wardrobe basics similar to her pieces without the designer price tag.

Mood Board: Hearts {10 Things to inspire}

I've been noticing more and more hearts popping up on sweaters, keychains and my favorite, sunnies!  It's no surprise that we are having a love invasion since Valentine's Day is just over a month away. I was inspired by this retro chic look on H&M's website while browsing their new arrivals. I thought I'd share 10 things to inspire you to get in the mood.

5 Weekend Favorites

I went shopping quite a bit these last few days, but I managed to only purchase a few things (thank you gift cards!) I love looking at all of the new arrivals after the holidays, even if I'm only "just looking". Here are some of my favorites I wanted to share with my favorite fashionistas!

Inspiration Board: New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is always filled with high expectations and pressure to make it the perfect celebration..although most of the time I just go to dinner with friends and toast the big night at home. These are some ideas of what I would be wearing for a (conservative) night on the town. One of my favorite chic and easy ways to rock a night out is to pair a sparkly top with some cool pants and heels, done. Oh, and that cute little mini emergency kit is now less than ten dollars, the perfect grab and go kit. Keep in mind as you are shopping to make purchases that can be worn again, but maybe in a different way, so you aren't always buying a one-time-only item, even if it is less than twenty dollars.

What are you New Year's plans - staying in or a night on the town?

HM Mask $9.95 // H&M Earrings $7.95 // * Pinch Provisions Mini Emergency Kit $8.70 ($18) //

 Xhilaration Sequin Dress $20.98 // H&M Pumps $34.95 // Mossimo Dress $24.99

H&M Jeans $29.95 // H&M Draped Top $15
