New H&M Digs: Maison Martin Margiela x H&M Dress, Quilted Oxblood Top, and more.

One of the best stores to shop at for trendy clothes at a decent price is H&M.
Now if only you could order online...then it would be serious trouble for everyone's wallet.
I picked these up around the New Year, and they're some of my favorite new things.

1. Large statement necklace with a black, green, and yellow color combination.
This necklace warms my heart. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it, and apparently I wasn't the only one. I don't know if the sales associate was trying to spread some holiday cheer or what not, but she certainly gave me her employee discount for no reason...other than the fact she was really excited I was buying this necklace. #schwing. It was $35, which was a tad more than I'd normally pay for a necklace, but I mean, look at it.

2. Quilted oxblood top. 
Oxblood was a choice color this F/W. It's a rich, unusual, and a little harsh, but I love it. I really appreciated quilted things this season as well, so this top was the perfect mixture.

3. Maison Martin Margiela trompe l'oeil evening dress from S/S '96.
[Trompe l'oeil is the art of using realistic imagery to create a 3D illusion.] Anybody that follows this blog knows how I felt about the Maison Martin Margiela H&M collab: Hella excited. Finally got my hands on a piece of the collection (this is actually my second piece, but the first that I decided to keep. I got the bodysuit first) and I'm really happy about this choice. It's a floor length evening dress with the image of a grey sequins dress printed on it. And it's cool because you are indeed quite casual, but it looks hella fancy.  I like it because it's perfect for all weather and is versatile.

4. (Mens) Love + Regret color block tee 
While I was shopping it up, I grabbed a simple color-block tee for my boy. He keeps it quite fashionable too. So for the winter, this will most likely be paired with a zip up hoodie, maybe maroon or navy.

New Digs: YSL-esque Rings, Glaze Heel-less Booties, and more.

I adore these rings. I bought a red ring like the ones above and fell in love with it immediately. It's just so bold, so I had to find more colors. When you're wearing them, you don't need any other jewelry on your hand..or you wrist really. It's modeled after the Yves Saint Laurent arty gold-plated glass ring.

The Glaze heel-less booties are one of my favorite purchases. They're hella tall and I can walk in them without looking disabled, which sounds like winning to me. I like winning, it's fun.

The Hello Geeks iPhone case is just for fun. I like the slightly annoyed expression he's wearing. Reminds me of myself at times.

And the hospital that I work at has jewelry sales twice a year where a buyer comes out and brings all his stuff. Everything goes for $5. It's where the majority of my statement necklaces come from now because everything is unique and it's a hell of a deal. The two necklaces below are from there.

New Digs: Urban Expressions Envelope Bag, Deux Lux Glitter Wallet, and more.

Urban Expressions

There's nothing like the holidays to get you in a shopping mood. These were some of my Thanksgiving treats, even though none of them were purchased on Black Friday (I wasn't dealing with that foolishness in stores.)

I got an adorable blue and beige purse by Urban Expressions. I love the envelope style and the gold accents like the chain strap. Deux Lux sparkley wallet with gold accents as well. Gold is all types of popular right now if you haven't noticed.
