RH Teen Top Picks

My heart usually fills with dread every time I see a hefty catalog left on my doorstep. They are such outdated massive wastes of paper and even though I usually opt out of these types of mailings as soon as they arrive, they still seem to show up at my door from time to time.

Pottery Barn has been killing it with their teen collections but a lot of the items don’t ship to Canada, so I was excited to see what RH had to offer. It’s certainly not cheap coming across the border these days with our crappy dollar and the automatic 20% shipping and duty fee that is added on top of that, but the process to order from RH is at least more streamlined.
