After reading the title of this post, you probably assumed that I was going to be blogging about my wedding day, or perhaps announcing that I am with child or that Marley had a litter of puppies or that I was just awarded a lifetime supply of hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows.
Well….sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not preggo, Marley is spayed and I haven’t entered any contests where the grand prize is hot chocolate. AND….although my wedding day was a terribly happy day, it pales in comparison to today.
Tomorrow is….drum roll please……

The day H&M finally opens in Portland.
I could cry from happiness.
(OK…I’m totally being dramatic….my wedding day was way better, but I had to draw you in and convey my deep emotion over this occurrence.)
I am super excited for all the reasonably priced loveliness that awaits me behind the magical doors where many enter, but few leave without heaps of shopping bags. I don’t even care that anything I buy is sure to be worn by every other Portlander I encounter for the next year because, obviously I am not the only one whose been anxiously awaiting this opening….I’m just happy that H&M finally decided to grace Portland with its beautiful, glorious presence.
That is all.
End ranting praises.
Oh….and did I mention I have the day off? It’s like the cosmic forces of shopping all aligned perfectly for me.
OK. Now I’m real done.
For real.

I have been waiting for this day to come for so long!!! My sister and I are planning a trip up from Corvallis as soon as our classes calm down enough. I NEED H&M in my life. So excited we finally have one in Oregon!!!
Jealous. I found out that Nordstrom Rack is now online? I feel like that is kind of on par since the best store in my town is Dillards. Lameeee.
lucky you!! I am jealous of your h&m proximity.
Yay, have fun shopping girl. 🙂
so jealous!!! wish i lived close to one!
Yay!! We got an H&M last year and I’m still absolutely thrilled about it.
I am terribly jealous.
But I’m glad you’re excited,
and I hope that you find some great steals 🙂
I would be tres excited too! I can’t believe that there wasn’t an H & M in Portland. How did you survive?
I went into H & M the other day and had to refrain myself. There were tons of cute dresses I wanted to buy.
Enjoy the benefit of the cosmic forces alligned just for you… shop til you drop!
Honestly… I had seen a H&M commercial… not really paying attention so I had to Google it and see what all of your fuss is about… now I know. Fashion and Quality at the BEST price??? No wonder you are so excited.

ohhh my gosh, i’m so, so jealous! i got hooked on h&m when i was in europe, but the closest one is eight hours away. super sad face. have fun shopping! 🙂
OK, I have to admit, you really had me going on the happiest day of your life being today…My mind was going in every direction wondering what you were going to announce…But I came back down to earth realizing that you are a private person sometimes,with the exception of this blog…I know that if you were with child, we would first hava a very private announcement,right? But, I have to admit that you have sparked an interest and an excitement within me to check out H&M. Thanks for the spark!
LOL! Oh Lauren! You’re awesome =-)
lol. I know exactly how you feel!!!
Last year they opened up a shop in our local mall and I was walking on air!!! 🙂
Have fun shopping hon!
xo
Ugh! Jealous! I’m HOPING we get one in Nashville at some point! We just got a Nordstroms (well, it opens in 2011) and all would be well if we could just get an H&M and an Ikea!
sheesh I didn’t know you were that excited. Well I kinda did. I’ll talk to you soon my friend…sounds like we will have an interesting day hopefully mobs of girls won’t crush us or claw out our eyes over the same item. <3
Whoo! H&M! I will see you there, if you’re going this afternoon!
I can’t believe the day is finally here! Not that I live in Portland, but my sister does and has been encouraging me to visit more, using H&M as my incentive.
Enjoy opening day!
I’m so excited that Portland is finally getting an H&M, however, it just so happens to coincide with Kendi’s 30 for 30 challenge that I’m doing and that means no shopping. Of course I will go and at least look at all of the clothes! Have fun there today!
HA! Too funny! This post did get me.
oh goodness! did you wait in line with the other thousand some-odd people to get the goods first?
haha, this made me laugh! How exciting for you! I cannot wait for the Lanvin line to hit H&M on Nov. 20th!!!
It took us a long time to get an F21 here in SLC, but I’m dying to get an H&M I visited one in San Fran and loved it. Oh man, I can’t wait….hopefully it happens. You lucky duck!
every city need a H&M yay for that!!
okay, the first thing i thought was, “now i’m all alone in the club.” while i would be super super happy for you if you announced you were preggo, i’m glad you’re not leaving me.
having said that, i’m so jealous i can barely type right now!!!!! I WANT AN H&M STORE HERE!!!!!
xoxoxo, miss you more!
Oh my gosh! I am so excited! I didn’t know it was opening tomorrow! My best friend and I have been waiting patiently so she will be so happy to hear this news!
Have fun shopping! And I hope to see your delightful finds…
WHAT?!?! Just as soon as I move from Oregon…
Not EVEN funny ;(
Love your blog, btw.
i’m so jealous!!this is how i reacted when our city got a forever21. i live in arkansas though, so it was probably years after everyone else already had one, haha
I have been waiting with bated breath! how was it, do you go yet?
hooray for H&M! i’ve been acing for one in texas for ages too!
