H&M USA
HOW HAS NOBODY ELSE BLOGGED ABOUT THIS YET?
H&M announced via their Twitter account this morning that they will have an online store for the US by the end of the year. This is excellent news you guys.
The only thing better would be if they launched that site today because I really want those lace up leather shorts in the spring collection.

I need to hang some art up on our walls. I just noticed how blank it looks behind me in the GPOYW I just posted.
Our apartment is so much bigger than the last one, we just don’t have enough.

You guys!
I am only 10 followers away from 100 followers! Is it nerdy to get excited over something like that?
Maybe I will give a prize away?

H&M Plus Size
So H&M announced that it is doing a plus-size line which sounds awesome but I have some serious issues with this:
- The model they used is definitely not plus-sized, look at her legs! I would kill for those legs and I am not even considered “plus-size” by the US standard.
- I feel like I already have to buy the biggest size available at H&M so I feel like the plus-size line...

DINOLITA
My friend Kim posted this picture on my facebook wall…
While it is obviously too good to be true and a fake, I would rock the hell out of this Lita if it existed.
Read about it on the Jeffrey Campbell blog.

Kraft Singles Night
You guys,
This Friday at the MCA we are hosting a singles night! There will be Kraft singles and actual crafts as well as cheesy music.
I will probably be in attendance even though I am not single because I am working on the music playlist right now and it’s epic.
Any cheesy romance songs you think I should add?
Here is the facebook event.
Hope you can come!

Accent Colors
The boyfriend and I have been discussing how we want to decorate our apartment to make it feel like it’s “ours” and accent colors came up last night. I think we are both really subconsciously into mustard yellow because we keep picking things in that color. Then Rue posted an article about yellow today and I think it’s a sign!
What accent colors do you guys use in your...

A question for my followers:
I am thinking of some new types of content for my blog because I am feeling boring. Would you guys like to see posts about local places, not only with reviews but maybe interviews with the owners, featured products, etc?
I have thought about doing it for awhile but I wasn’t sure if people would be like:
“Reviews are what Yelp is for, didn’t you know”
or
“I...

Important things for Coloradoans who like food
illustratedexample:
(and if you don’t like food, you’re dumb and I hate you)
Denver’s city council meets tomorrow to discuss the future of food trucks in Denver. Our elected officials need to hear from you about why you love street food. Here what to do: Send respectful emails telling them about why you love street food (and how good it is for our economy) to Michael Hancock...

I just got poked??
I got poked on Facebook by Mavis Staples. She is apparently a legendary gospel singer. Should I poke back? I feel like this is weird. I guess Bob Dylan proposed to her when they were younger and she said no.

Felt Hats.
I love them. They are in for every season forever in my mind.
On a recent trip to a local antique mall I got a great vintage Ralph Lauren hat that I wore for the first time today.
I love it. I am still not sure if I will ever be confident enough to wear it with the leather chin strap around front though.
Here are some more felt hats I absolutely LOVE.
Left to Right:

Fishtail Braid Tutorial
I know I promised a video tutorial but as it turns out, I am really not that charming on video and it’s really hard to show how to do a braid when your webcam makes everything backwards.
Here is a photo tutorial and if it’s really not helpful I will post a video but give it a real honest try before you tell me I suck, okay?
Also, sorry if the images are huge…? I didn’t...

not much to say
I am feeling utterly uninspired today as far as the blogging world is concerned.
I know I promised a fish-tail braid tutorial and I will deliver on that today, promise, but otherwise I don’t feel like I have much to say. Luckily, I have some polyvore sets stored away for days like today so I have something to post.

Attn: Ladies and Gents of the Denver Metro area
I have it on fairly good authority that H&M will in fact be replacing Saks in the Cherry Creek Mall. I haven’t seen anything on the internets confirming but the person who told me is someone I trust in matters of fashion. So….yup. Get ready. Saks doesn’t close it’s doors til mid-march so there’s no telling when the space will actually re-open and even if...

aaygeecee asked: Katie,
Sometime, will you talk about how to do the fishtail braid. I'm a braid freak, and I've never been able to get it down.
Thanks!

Lingerie...hey ladiezzzzz
So one of my new years resolutions is to spend more money on less stuff. I want to invest in better pieces, particularly my delicates. Sadly, that means no more 5 for $25 cotton undies in the Pink section at Victoria’s Secret.
Since I am currently beyond broke and mostly unemployed I spend my days looking at pretty things I can’t afford. I have mostly been looking at shoes but an...

It's Electric
Electric Feathers is always on point for me and I am just as excited as always about their Spring/Summer collection this year. Everything is flowy and fabulous. I am also really glad the turban isn’t out because I still don’t have one and I need that dream to come true ASAP. I also think I need the necklace in the pic below.

I have finally embraced the return of the clog.
Not the shiny blue ones I wore as a pre-teen though. Yuck.
H&M has teamed up with Swedish Hasbeens and made some beautiful clogs.
My favorite?
other clogs I love?
Steve Madden:
The Gypsy Platform Clog by Jeffrey Campbell available over at Nasty Gal:
(also in white leather!!!)
P.S. any of my followers live near an H&M? I wear an 8 1/2 if you see these shoes. :-)

Yes Please More
Yes Please More is a shop in Denver on the 16th St Mall. I love this shop because it gives local designers, artists and crafters a place to sell their work to the masses that would otherwise not venture into local shops.
Everything about the place makes me happy and I was so excited when I saw them written up in Dwell. If you haven’t been yet and live in Denver, do yourself a favor and...
