H&M
Filed in: Accessories, Fashion, Shopping
H&M used to be the ultimate shop for me, I stopped by at least once a week not to miss all the good stuff. Then it something changed and I usually only got my thrills from secondhand shopping. Just this morning, on my way to work, I thought about how I rarely stopped by H&M anymore, how I usually never found anything in particular when I did, and how I maybe should just stop going there all together. Then, when I got home, I saw a picture of an H&M dress I liked. It´s the same print as I´ve already got a shirt and a bikini in, and the dress looked like just perfect. Floor length but not floral as I have trouble finding florals I really love. I ran off to H&M with a feeling of excitement, afraid that it would already be sold out. The dress wasn´t there. As far as I can tell it hasn´t come to Norway yet. But even though I didn´t get the thrill of finding the dress of my dreams, I found a nice little frilly white scarf. Nothing too special really, but it reminded me of the images I picked yesterday with the soft shades and suddenly spring didn´t feel too far away after all. Only that was a little thrill in itself. Now I just hope I snatch the dress too before it´s all gone.
The rings had to go when I went outside and discovered that huge cocktail rings didn´t go well under mittens, and mittens are a must now that it´s snowing sideways.

I like the way you write, Agathe. Very clear, and not at all as English-as-a-second-language.

Really cute scarf! I want to get one of it myself :) I would love to have one like that to my leather jacket!

Thank you Nina! I usually write as I speak, with few words, it often makes people think I am very shy. ;) Though I am to some extent and this was a long post for me! And thanks about the English, I know a little Norwegian sounding English pop up now and then, but I would go crazy if I was to fuzz about every little word!
Katrín, good idea with the leather jacket! It´s not as flat looking as in the picture, white is hard to photograph, at least in poor lighting.

That scarf is really lovely. I go back and forth with enjoying stores and secondhand places as well. It is nice to find the same piece in a variety of sizes in a store.

Huge cocktail rings work best with fingerless gloves!

Cute scarf! Sorry to hear that it’s snowing!

I think I know which dress you mean, and I’ve seen it at the online shop. I can’t seem to find it right now, but it’s definately been at the Norwegian H&M site.

wow .. it’s cute and spring-like .. :) love it! I’m really in need of a new scarf, so great inspiration - thanks !

I love this scarf! I get that way about H&M also - some seasons it is full of great stuff, and others it’s just not up to standard!

I have the same feeling now, I get more of a rush going charity shopping than visiting topshop and h&m which is a surprising but welcome change. I love the scarf by the way, hope you get you dress.

What a great summery scarf. I, too, go back and forth between only vintage shopping and regular store shopping. It seems to go in phases.

Ooh, that is a great scarf :)
Very similar vibe to the Spring images you posted.
Such a shame there is no H&M in Australia!

i adore the scarf. it’s simple but adds so much volume.

that is indeed a lovely scarf. in august i gave up h&m because i was just so impulsive there, but now, i try to go in there, and nothing seems to capture my imagination…
i think it’s more fun to find second hand and indie…

Man I love love love love love that scarf! I wish I there was a H&M in australia…

the dress is sold out. it was in store last year. and appeared on the website not too long ago.
cost only 149 kroner.

I’m not sure we’re talking about the same dress, I know a girl got it only yesterday, and I’ve never seen that dress online, although I’ve seen several other long dresses… At least I hope it’s not the same one.

it is 90 degrees where i live!!

Your posts are making me crave a cosy cold winter, here in sydney it is so hot and sticky.
I am obsessed with your scarf, i havent seen one like it before :)
March 26th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Gosh, I love that scarf! It’s so lovely…
I’ve got Spring Dress Fever as well…hehe….I definitely blame it on the weather…yeah, right….hehe…

What a cute scarf! Haven’t seen that one here yet. And oh yes, the weather is a mess here in Helsinki, too. I’m so sick of the snow, I want to wear my spring clothes already! :D

D, I stopped by H&M again today and asked for the dress, and they said they hadn´t gotten it yet. They remembered the other garments with the same print so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
SoulTanggg, it´s been crappy weather, at least to be the end of March, but it´s going to change soon. :)
The scarf was really affordable for those of you who want it, and I doubt it will sell out too fast either as it´s kind of hard to tell what it is when it´s hanging on the wall.

[…] at Style Bytes, the gorgeous Agathe has fallen out of love with H&M but still manages to find something […]

you have a blouse in the same abstract pattern i think. if it is that dress it was online for a few hours and got sold out on the same day. but it might still be in stores.
March 27th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
but if you post a picture of the dress, maybe a reader has it and can sell it to you. you have readers all over the world.
