I’ve been wanting to try out a sequins top for a while, but it’s hard to find a wallet-friendly version that doesn’t look chintzy.  I struck gold, literally, when I found this top at H&M the other day.  The first thing I noticed is that this top has a lot of weight to it and feels pretty substantial.  I love that it has sequins all over (not just on the front) and also that the sequins are spaced fairly close together (a lot of cheap-y versions are pretty sparse).  I decided to go up a size for a slouchy, relaxed fit (perfect for hiding post-turkey tummy).

I wore these pants to work last week, and boy were they the topic of conversation!  Mostly because my co-workers never really see me in pants.  I’m sure the in-yo’-face pink had absolutely nothing to do with it… nothing at all.

Fitting Room Confidentials: Lanvin for H&M Fail

{$249 Lanvin for H&M Dress, $35 H&M Reindeer Sweater, thrifted boots)

Hi Everyone!

It’s time for another edition of Fitting Room Confidentials! For those of you who missed the inaugural edition, this is when I hit the dressing room visiting vintage shops, thrift stores, discount retailers, high-end department stores and funky boutiques (and everything in between) posting my favorite, behind-the-scenes looks on my Facebook page.

My original plan was to get up bright and early on Saturday morning, head over to the Lanvin for H&M preview, grab up as much stuff as I could get my hands on and snap a bunch of pics for the blog.

Instead, I rolled out of bed way late, preceded to laze around the house for another few hours and finally dragged myself out for an early dinner with my husband.  No Lanvin for me on Saturday.

I waltzed into the store on Sunday, expecting to snatch up a few pieces to try on and there were exactly TWO items left!  That’s right, TWO!  Luckily, they were approximately my size.  So, I just paired them with a few other H&M pieces and called it a day.

After doing my research and trying on the pieces that were left, my final verdict is to save your money folks.  This collection is just way too expensive for what you get.  I didn’t see any noticeable difference in quality from H&M’s regular wares.  If you’re just dying to get your hands on some Lanvin, do yourself a favor and save up for the real deal.

The good news is that, Lanvin aside, H&M currently has some great holiday pieces up for grabs.  Click here to check it all out.  I found a gorgeous skirt and the cutest sweater that I’m hoping will still be available once my shopping hiatus is over.  I think it’ll be the perfect thing for sipping eggnog and trimming the tree next month.
