The Flower City Fashionista on TV

Just in case you have an actual life and weren't stalking my blog's facebook last Friday night, I was on tv.

It started out like any other day.  Only I woke up late, didn't shower, and was then ambushed by the parazzi [read: local news] where I blathered about Pinterest, how I'm not a crafter, and got very specific about the perks of my credit card.

Since it aired,  my dad called to ask me if any modeling agencies got in touch after seeing my segment.  Not cool, Dad.  Not.  Cool.  My husband has found himself the brunt of many a your-wife-shops-so-much-they-are-interviewing-her-at-the-mall jokes.  And my friends (if you can call them that) have been sending me texts like this:

What can I say?  Yes, I like to shop.  Sure, I look a little disheveled and my voice possesses a rare nasal quality that is only found when Rochester and New Jersey accents combine, but in all honestly, it could have been much, much worse.

So now, for your viewing pleasure, WHEC Rochester catches up with The Flower City Fashionista at Eastview Mall:

The moral of the story:  never leave the house without washing your hair and never lose the ability to laugh at yourself.

Happy Friday kiddos!

Back to Basics

I love, love, love H&M for basic pieces.  Their styles are on trend and affordable, which I consider a win-win.  I went to the mall the other day for some t-shirts.  All the ones I own are from a few years ago and the cuts just don't work anymore; most of them are too short or too fitted or just plain old and ratty.

I head to H&M.  One hour, one crying baby, and one big shopping bag later I had spent $166 and this is what I ended up with:

6 T shirts, 3 tanks, 1 sleeveless blouse, 1 dress, 1 knit long sleeve top, 2 necklaces, 1 bracelet
Not bad for under $200!!!

Love these neon statement necklaces!

Have you hit the mall lately?  What new pieces are you dying to add to your wardrobe?  When you do update your closet, do you prefer to splurge on one or two big ticket items?  Or go the bargain route for a large variety of trendy pieces?
