Posted on April 30, 2010 | 2 Comments
This week's Fashion Friday is from H&M -- a bow-front sleeveless top ($19.95) and a high-waisted pencil skirt ($24.95). I like how the ends of the bow drape over the top of the skirt. Read more...

I've been looking for a cute makeup mirror I could take with me when I travel, and this one is perfect! When it's closed, it's really thin and compact. I can position the mirror to either stand straight or at an angle, and I can see my whole face while keeping both of my hands free! Read more...
