I don’t regularly promote H&M because I feel it’s fast fashion like Forever 21 and Old Navy. But then I thought about the times I have purchased from H&M; I still own those items.

I… Continue Reading Spring Capsule Wardrobes with NIC+ZOE
I usually write about music in my monthly newsletter, but life has been really hectic, the newsletter is overdue, and well, music is just too much fun right now to wait.
