AsianCajuns Plus One







This weekend one of my best friends came for a visit. Being from Charleston, a city chiefly known for not having an H&M (oh and beautiful historic homes, fresh seafood and the beach), we had to take Nate shopping. And what better way to cap off a day of shopping? Taking overly pose-y photos of your purchases!

I was trying to be good to my credit card and only got this tube dress from H&M with studs down the side (yup I fell into the stud trap again- I guess that trend isn't quite out of my system). Nate's summery oxford (also H&M) has a detachable collar that made me drool. Cath wore her American Apparel dress to offset all our H&M. Doesn't the color make you want to eat lemoncello gelato? Is there such a thing? Yum yum!

Cath's sweet bf took all of these photos. He's a bit of a Renaissance man- check out his myspace page here. My sweet bf got out of most of the shopping and our "photoshoot"- there's always next time- muahahaha!

    I love both of the dresses {and the oxford for that matter} :) H&M is one of my favorite favorite places to shop for K.

    My goal is to make one straight southern man give up his Rainbows. I recall mentioning this mission to someone and receiving the reply, "You'll have to pry them from my cold, dead feet."

    Love the black dress! Great purchase! H&M is still so close to my heart... sigh. Oh yeah, and I had a friend visiting this past weekend as well, which was mainly filled with shopping. Strangely, my BF somehow managed to wrangle himself out of that as well... I have no idea why? ;-)

    That is seriously a group of majorly good looking peeps.

    I love how that first picture makes your legs look 10000000% longer!

    Angles, angles.

    I think we're all the same height. You girls and me... 5'2"?
