Marni at H&M

Marni's Collaboration with H&M will be launched here in Riyadh on Thursday, March 8 at 8am particularly in H&M stores at Kingdom Centre, Olaya Street and Granada Center.

Here are some of my personal picks...

blouse SR399

coat SR699

dress SR799

necklace SR249

It's a first come, first served event so be there really early.

currently liking...

     After the ridiculously wallet damaging (LOL) sale craze here in Riyadh, it's time for shops to introduce the latest items this season.  I've already mentioned that I'm loyal to 3 or 4 max brands we frequently see in the malls here and one of them is H&M.  Who wouldn't love it, with it's always on trend styles and affordability plus eco-friendly materials, you could never go wrong.

I didn't know H&M has their own cosmetic line until last month when a friend bought a pack of lip glosses, eye palette and others at an affordable price.

my favorite color palette.  I am in love with those red trousers (available in other colors as well) and what surprised me is that it is priced only at SR49, winner!

 Check out their website here for other fab items. 

Closet Picks...

     We have been watching movies almost daily this last week and it feels so good to laugh and bond with just the family.  In as much as I don't want my kids to grow up too fast, I enjoy the fact that they are big enough to joke around with us, and I must say my boys are all hilarious and I love it! =)

     Anyway, another week and another outfit post...

Hubby's black shirt

oversized sweater - H&M

leggings from the Philippines

Ballet flats - H&M

watch - Gucci, gold bangle

     Those yellow shoes are my favorite pair of flats...I call them my happy shoes because they lift my mood up in an instant. 

     Do you have your own pair of happy shoes? =)

Closet Picks...

     On a regular basis, I only leave the house twice a week. One night for our weekly grocery shopping and one night for the weekly household.  I wear "blah" clothes in going to the supermarket.  I thought I  should amp up my ensemble during household because that's the only chance I get to fix myself but most times I end up wearing "blah" clothes again, just like tonight.

                                    Cardi - very old, like 12 years old, from Baclaran =)

                                                           Shirt - New Look

                                                   Straight cut bf jeans - H&M

                                             Watch: Swatch Full Blooded caramel

          I really wanted to stick with wearing my Enzo Angiolini wedges but it's too cold outside.

                                        I ended up wearing the blue flats from vincci.

Meant to be...

     My mom would always tell me that I'm her lucky kid.  Ever since I was a child, often if not always, I would get what I want.  It's as if things and people around me would unintentionally work wonders just so I could have want I want/need. 

     Last September, or maybe October, I saw these striped dresses from H&M and pointed them out to my husband.  But since we're not in the mall to shop, he told me to just buy clothes in December for our Christmas shopping...sad...because I know those dresses won't be there anymore by that time, hehe.

     Then about two weeks ago, I went to H&M to buy new hooded jackets for the kids.  I roamed around looking for the dresses I like but I couldn't see them.  I felt defeated!  While lining up to the cashier I suddenly had an urge to look at a corner next to the counter.  I asked my eldest son to fall in line in my place for a while.  My heart was beating so fast as I approach the corner and there..I saw the dress! It's the last piece but fortunately it's in my size.  And it's on sale!  I also want the other color combination, the pink and orange but it's no longer available...sigh...

black and cream striped dress...

from SR129, I scored it for only SR30...

     But here's the best part...last week, we had our CFC household christmas party and guess what my monita gave me?

yes!!! the pink and orange version of the dress! I couldn't be happier, I was all smile at the party.

there's more..she gave me not one but two dresses, both from H&M.

     Am I lucky or what? =)

Closet Picks...

I just want to share what I wore for the past week...

My husband took outfit shots of me before leaving but he unfortunately deleted them all.  The pic below is the only shot I have showing what I wore (grabbed from fb)...

Blazer: Zara / white organic tee:H&M / jeggings (i think): Penshoppe / shoes: Parisian

 

 

blazer: United Colors of Benetton / top: New Look / pants: Mango / shoes: from brazil (really old) / sunnies: H&M

coat: thrifted / dress: New Look / scarf: H&M / shoes: unbranded (very, very cheap)

 May I just add...for a country not recognizing the Christmas tradition, it's ironic that I have been to three xmas parties already and it's only December 9, lol..
