SQUEEEEEE! Best reason to stick with my current job in Burien, baby. I was just in NYC and wandered through the 34th St. H&M (at-- check it-- 10 p.m. on a Friday night). There is a dreamy $25 emerald green slippery halter top that evokes Keira Knightley's dress in "Atonement". If I wear that, will I score James McAvoy? Most of the compliments I get on outfits / accessories are on things I bought at H&M back east. CANNOT wait.

You know, I never heard of these folks until the post months ago. Ever since then, I love everything Swedish. Also, I used to work at the BR in the Southcenter Mall. I also will be waiting until Fall, like Jesse.

I recently ran into a person who was telling me that their girlfriend, who is unable to secure legal work in the U.S. makes a very solid living buying H&M goods and selling them on overseas Craigslist sites. That was my very first introduction to even the store's existence, and now it's some big deal in Seattle. Who knew...

Thank you H&M, for tearing down the UW A&F store and taking over Kenneth Cole. This is akin to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.

... in the space where Kenneth Cole used to be.

there are already ads up in the windows (boasting their cheap prices and offering jobs) at the future store location downtown. it's at the corner of 6th and pike, not on the hill.

As excited as I am for this I cannot bring myself to go to Southcenter for it. I will wait until fall!
