Opening sign outside Sahara Mall luring all H&M lovers
The Pink Tarha Girls (minus Mary who’s now in Pinas) met after work for our most awaited day, the H&M opening. We decided to check out the Sahara Branch and arrived around 5:30PM. A little bit late for excited shoppers I know, but we had to wait after office hours (mga working girls naman). We still did our best to be there the earliest we can. The ride to the mall was the most dreaded part, since the roads to Sahara Mall are under renovation. Perfect timing.
Our elevated pulse rates was the result of running towards the store after getting out of the car, plus the excitement of finally making it on the opening of course. We were welcomed by Mickey Mouse (Can you believe? See post below) at the red carpet entrance. A handful of shoppers were already there. Wala pa masyado kaagaw. We got our baskets quick and we were just so ready to explore the store and find the items in our list. This however, was cut short due to prayer time and we had to wait for half an hour before proceeding to our shopping again. After prayer, floods of people came. The store was as we expected it to be. Loads of springy-summery basic tops, shoes and accessories adorned the shelves and racks. We literally wanted to pass out, confused by all the pretty stuff surrounding us. What should we check out first?! If there’s one thing that would stress us really, this was it. Who would have imagined shopping would be this difficult? Haaay.
I also visited the Riyadh Gallery Branch about 3 days after the opening. There you’ll be welcomed by Superman (Filipino version) with mattress foam-like abs. I thought I’ve seen everything, but then there’s always something to lure you at H&M. Reason why we love the shop. Di nauubos ang maganda, LOL.
As promised, here are my H&M loot from both branches:
Cardigans and cool basics
Gingham print shirt
Tunic tops in light grey stripes and dark grey
Red-orange smock
Skirt in blue-black-cream palette
Accessories in black and white
Accessories in black and white
My faves, black gladiator sandals
Bagged all the goodies here
One thing's for sure, we can't get enough of H&M.
8 had something to say:
So, my dear shopaholics, which one is better? Debenhams? M&S? Or H&M? tee-hee....
Tawa ako nang tawa dun sa line na: "We literally wanted to pass out, confused by all the pretty stuff surrounding us." Chronic shopaholics na nga kayo!
And the tab is?...
By the way, I tagged you for the Neno Award.
@ the doctor is thin:

@ Nebz:

thanks for tagging us for the Neno :)
love the gladiator sandals you purchased!
@ Anonymous:
Get your pair now! They have not much left so check out the stores to see if they still have your size. It also comes in brown :).
Hi I love your gladiator shoes, been looking for one.. for the longest time...how much is it? and how about the sizes is it in UK or US size?? I want to ask my husband to buy for me..but im afraid he'll get the wrong size..and if it is expensive it is too much of a risk.. as u know men are generally clueless in shopping and my husband is not an exception :(

Thanks!
They're SR 159, I had to get them even if they're above my budget since they did not have much sizes left. H&M shoes here in Riyadh show the UK and European sizes only.
One tip though, you have to memorize your shoe size and its equivalent in all three: US, UK and European. Say in my case, I'm as US 7.5, UK 5 and Euro 38. And of course, you have to have your husband remember that just to avoid wrong purchases. Men maybe generally clueless with shopping, but they learn fast if we teach them. LOL.
Thanks for dropping by :).
Thanks sugar free...I will ask my husband to make the purchase for me...
keep posting! love your site!...lalo na when it comes to shopping hahaha...lalo na sa mga sales..im drooling!
