Helen Hunt in H&M on the Oscars Red Carpet

Doesn't it feel good to pay less?  Apparently, celebs love a bargain, too.  Actress Helen Hunt wore an elegant strapless gown designed by H&M to the 85th Annual Academy Awards, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Sessions.

H&M designed the couture midnight blue full length gown is silk satin especially for the Oscar occasion. Everything She Wants loves H&M for trendy basics and edgy accessories and although we're sure Ms. Hunt was gifted her lovely dress, this makes us think twice about about where we'll shop the next time we need to get red carpet-ready (a girl can dream, can't she?).

As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store.
