This post is a long time coming as some of the purchases came over two weeks ago! Since I signed up for the flash sale site, Peacock Parade back in the fall, I had mostly been buying dresses. Lately, it has been tops – ones that I can wear into spring and even summer. The […]
I saw a Tweet from @hmusa recently about the fact that the plus department in the US is rebranding from Big & Beautiful to the more appropriate H&M+ name. Sizes this department will carry will range between 14 and 24. While I knew that H&M had plus sizes, I can’t help but wonder if they’ll […]
