The UU Styled X H&M (and a $50 Giveaway!)

Reading Time: 3 minutes
 
H&M has long been one of my favourite stores as it carries a variety of pieces both on-trend and classic, at such affordable prices.
 
As you all know, I am always looking for styles that appear to be high fashion but do not carry a hefty price tag. Well, today, nearly everything I am wearing (the bag, shirt, and trousers) is from H&M and I got all of these for under $100!  
 
 
The great thing about the pieces I am wearing today is that they are both great separates to either dress up, or wear more casually. 
 
Both of these pieces are versatile enough that you could easily wear them to the office, or out with friends. The shirt would be worn with jeans and a pair of flats, or it could be worn with trousers and a pair of heels. While the pants could be worn with a simple white t-shirt and sneakers or could be dressed up as seen in today’s post! 
 
 
 
 
I personally don’t like to buy many “occasion” pieces. Instead, I like to have my wardrobe be flexible and versatile which is why I just love these pieces so much.  If I have to wait for a special or specific occasion to wear something, I tend to feel like it’s a bit of a waste of money. Of course, there are exceptions to that, but in general, I’d say that 99% of your wardrobe should be able to be dressed up or down to suit whatever occasion. 
 
 
 
For the last few years, H&M has been one of the main stores that I shop at. I love that they have a variety of styles and style concepts and all of them are at an affordable price range. 
 
outfit details: shirt from H&M, pants from H&M, purse from H&M, rings from RW&Co, shoes from RW&Co
 
 
I guess H&M heard just how much I adore their clothing because they contacted me so that this Valentine’s Day we could share the love by giving one lucky reader a $50 gift card to H&M!

    I love the Fine KNit Cardigan in Purple and the Lace top in Purple. I think those two items would pair nicely with each other and compliment a nice pair of skinny jeans worn with either flats or boots. My email address is sarah.gm82 @ gmail . com

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
