I'm not sure the blogging world can handle another blogpost about H&M's newest brain child, but I just havvvee to talk about it! I first heard about & Other Stories through Meg's post and I knew it would be something I wanted to check out. I went in to scope out the beauty section of the store, but my attention got a bit diverted by a rather beautiful clutch.
I'm pretty amped up for the warmer weather, so when I spotted this leather clutch I imagined myself walking around London in a cute little outfit ready to take on the world! Such high hopes, but I have to dream or else this grey weather WILL be the death of me. But I think we'll talk about the orange blush first.
You know I love my corals, but this one is just pure orange bliss! At first I was kind of wondering if it would be a bit much, but when applied to the cheeks it almost blends and sheers out to look natural? I think Meg said that too about her blush which is kind of odd because how could a colour so bright look natural? Regardless, this is really easy to apply & wear but also adds brightness to the face.
Here I am wearing the blush-see!? It's not really neon at all? It's there, but it's not there! Magic, y'all.
(Don't mind the fact that I'm wearing Aslan's hoodie *cough*)
I adore the colours. Mint, yellow, camel. Very chic.
It's got two compartments with hidden magnetic closures.
& Other Stories calls this a wallet, but I think it's big enough to be called a clutch. It does have 6 card slots on the inner compartment though, which is really handy if you're using this as your only bag/wallet. I think this will be the perfect thing to take on a day trip (car boot sale?).
Size comparison (it's an iPhone 5). It's big enough to fit my essentials, but not bulky.
Although I think the makeup, skincare and body care are great I must admit that I'm a lot more excited about the clothes. I LOVE COS & some things from H&M, so it's nice to have a few more options.
Have you had a chance to go into the store yet?
Do you think it's worth all of the "blogger hype" it's getting?
