H&M @ HOME

Map sheets and pillow case

I was once OBSESSED with H & M. Its cheap chic mixed with my hi-end vintage attire for the perfect hi-lo fashion cocktail beautifully. But alas, being self-employed means more time spent at home than out in the world, which means a lot less shopping for cheap chic.
BUT now my love affair is reunited as they introduce home goods! As you already know, I am a home goods designer myself so the new cocktail du jour will be their cheap chic mixed with Jypsea Leathergoods for the perfectly, fabulous loung-y home environment. Joy!
Pieces starting just $4!

Check out the goods here.
