Etsy Find: Knotted Bow Scarf

With the weather as cold as it is, all I was to do is curl up by our fireplace. All I want is something warm and cozy. I think this scarf could satisfy that request.

Jack Rogers Inspired

Target now has sandals that are an almost exact copy of Jack Rogers “Hampton” sandals. I don’t know if they are available in stores, but they are online in several different colors, including gold, white, brown, and hot pink. Get them while they are still available!

Target, $19.99

Jack Rogers, $96.00

Anthroholic

Two of my favorite blogs are devoted to Anthropologie: Anthroholic and Effortless Anthropologie. And let me tell you, these gals know their stuff! They offer reviews, gorgeous pictures, sale alerts, and styling options. I went shopping at Anthropologie the other day and have to say that I was surprised at how impressed I was - especially at this time of year. Of course, everything I fell in love with was regular priced even though they were offering 25% off all sale items. Here a few things I tried on (some even made it home with me!).

Easy-Peasy Blazer, $98.00 (feels like a sweatshirt and fits great!)

Je Ne Sais Scarf Tee, $58.00 (available in several colors)

Flower Vendor Top, $78.00

Soft-Structured Dress, $148.00

Garden Garnish Kimono Top, $168.00

Geometry in Motion Skirt, $78.00

Hey Jealousy

As reported last week by Shop Girl in the Houston Chronicle:

H&M to open first Texas store at Dallas' NorthPark Center in 2011

“This news stopped me on deadline: H&M is coming to Texas. The affordable fashion retailer plans to open its first store in the Lone Star state in late 2011. H&M, or Hennes & Mauritz, will open a new 24,000 square-foot store at Dallas' NorthPark Center. According to the release, "H&M believes strongly in the Texas market and looks forward to bringing fashion-forward style to consumers in the area."

H&M has been expanding across the U.S. since the company's New York debut a decade ago. There are approximately 200 H&M stores in the U.S. and close to 2,000 stores in 37 countries around the world.

While there is no mention of a Houston store, we can only hope we're next in line.”

I first fell in love with H&M in the summer of 2001 while in Europe. I have since frequently checked their blog in hopes that they may one day make their way to the Lone Star State. Well, they are finally here. I just wish it were in H-Town. So until then, like Shop Girl, I can only hope….
