I am 100%, unabashedly addicted to H&M. It’s a problem I have no intention of fixing. I love everything about that store: the clean cuts and tailoring, the quality of production, the colors, the artful fabric prints, the versatility of their pieces and most of all, the amazing prices. One of the main reasons why I was so excited to come home from college for the summer was to be closer to my H&M, because the mall near campus doesn’t have one.

I was out the other night and noticed my friend’s cell phone case, covered in candy-colored jewels and gems. I’m probably what you would call a bling enthusiast. I love bright baubles, jewel hues and candy-like accessories. (And I may or may not always have at least one package of Ring Pops in my purse at all times… you know, for emergencies.)

A few years ago, stars who wore low-cut dresses and mini skirts raised eyebrows. Now it is unlikely for someone to be too covered up in front of the cameras. In the last couple of years, a couple trends including the crop top and cutout dresses became popular on runways and in everyday clothing. Even more recently, though, the popularity of these trends have been taken to the red carpet. Looking through all the outfits from this years Met Gala, I’ve noticed a growing number of bare midriffs.

Freshman and Sophomore year of college, I had one close friend. I had a few good friends, but one extra close friend that I would go to the cafeteria with, go out with, grocery shop with and sophomore and junior year, I’d even live with her. I thought maybe we would even end up as bridesmaids in each other’s weddings.

In two weeks time, I’ll be making the move to the Big Apple to start an internship and live a completely different life than I’m used to. I come from suburbia. We drive our cars to get our groceries, we love flip flops and massive purses that we can carry all our stuff in. Living life in the city is going to be a far cry from all of that, so I’m making some major changes. Click the jump to see how I’m overhauling my lifestyle in terms of fashion and please, leave your tips if you have them! (I’m gonna need ‘em!)
