Out and About in Beverly Center

I went to the Beverly Center yesterday to check out H&M’s Spring Inspiration collection. What a disappointment! Most of the items were sold out and if they were there, it wasn’t in my size. They had a bunch of jumpers which I didn’t want. There were a few blue jean dresses but none in my size. I was told that the collection had sold out quickly. The store is huge and fully stocked but mostly with basic items like tees and jeans and boring work pieces. I spotted this top/dress but there was only one left and not in my size. So I only tried on two pieces:

The black eyelet dress is part of the Spring Inspiration line. It was my size but boy I was swimming in it. It was the only one left. The one on the right fit OK but I decided that I had enough of black. So I left the store, again, empty handed! Maybe I should go to the H&M store in Pasadena next time.

The photo on the right is my attempt at taking a photo of what I wore yesterday. I don’t think I can take regular snaps of myself in my outfits but I’ll try.
Top: Proenza Schouler for Target V-Neck Trapunto Top in black jersey
Bottom: JBrand 12″ in dark vintage
Shoes: BP. Edie glitter ballet flats
Bag: Balenciaga Matelasse

I also took pictures of some store windows at Beverly Center:

For all you Hello Kitty fans, there is a store in Beverly Center called Momoberry by Sanrio. Momoberry is “Hello Kitty with a twist - breezy, quirky, stylish, a little older and surprisingly sophisticated. Sanrio’s newest boutique features unique accessories, clothing, custom fragrances, cool collections from great designers, plus Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters on products you won’t find anywhere else!” I didn’t go in to check out the goods though so I can’t report on that.

At Louis Vuitton is this gorgeous new red color called “Pomme d’Amour”. Just in time for Valentine’s, this color is available in Monogram Vernis. I have a red Monogram Vernis Houston from many years ago that is a lighter shade than Pomme d’Amour which is a deeper, richer shade of red. Looks nice!
