The H&M Thread #2

[kattiepie]

kattiepie, how did the rosette jacket run? Same as H&M regular sizing, or large? TIA! Great buys btw - love the linen jacket!

lightened - You found the lace jacket! How did it look in person? Which location did you see it at? So excited!

I think it runs a bit large. I'm usually a 4/6 at H&M and everything I bought & tried on was a 4. I wasn't paying too much attention bc the moment I had it on I nayed it.

I also saw the lace jacket at my H&M but they only had 6s and 12s. Too bad. I really wanted it!

did anyone try on the kimono dress? i think it was 20$. i did not see it at my store. ive heard from other folks that the material feels awful.

I did. It looks lovely on the model but I looked like a crazy dworf I'm 5'3 btw (160cm)

and this dress as well:

debating if i should keep it?

I say yes B) I also wanted that dress but It wasn't available Like other things from my wishlist



I bought this top, I had to buy something, right

it was ok, i don't really know how to describe it tbh. i didn't try it on, and i think if i did i would have a different opinion lol. i might go back later to see, but i think the smallest size there was a 6. boo.

and i saw it in square one.

I was in the store yesterday and had a look at the things,but didnt get anything. the things I was interested in were already gone, at least in my size.
I was in particular looking for the white tunic and the blueish floral pattern dress. ONly found the dress in 40 and tried it on, and I imagine it could be quite nice, but Im afraid, after all I read about it, I will need a 34. Do you happen to know how much shorter it gets with every size? size 40 was fine and could be a little shorter, but dont know about 34....

the white tunic I only saw on the doll, but really liked it. It's coming (hopefully) in mid april to my place. Gosh, crazy me was very close to asking the sales assistent whether he knew how tall the doll was.... luckily I didnt.....

I've already got the tunic with the wide sleeves and the beige shorts, though both items dont seem to be top sellers, I really like them. only when I saw the tunic in nude yesterday, I was afraid, that might look better than my white one, but nude is an abolute killer for my fair skin, when Im wearing no or little makeup.

I'm also waiting for the 10 € shirt, (see oder posts ) in white.

I also tried some of the colourful things on, yesterday, but that's simply not my coup of tee. One of the blouses-shirts also made me look a little preggy, might be due to my bad pose, though.
The nude bandeau dress with the floral thing in the bust area was still there in lots of sizes, it looks lovely on natasha, but the fabric in reality is soo - well- let's say casual.

In the end I found the rose dress in white in my size and tried it on just for fun. It's a nice thing for sure, but hmmmmmm actually I can't imagine any occasion to wear it. For weddings it's too red/white/short. And for other special occasions I wouldnt wear something everyone can easily identify as h&m. moreove it's such an eye-catcher, I'd be afraid of other people wearing it too. and last but not least I dont like the idea of dressing down dressy clothes to wear them in every day life.
maybe it's just also due to usual german lifestyle. When I got out, I most of the time dont dress up, like lets say people in the UK, or southern european countries would do. And when I dress up for going out once in a while, I go to a little expensive places where I again wouldnt wear a "look at me- Im h&m" dress. But while wearing the dress I went a little crazy, took pictures and thought about buying it, colouring it black/yellow and dress as bee in nextyears carnival... (btw I know that it is not sitting well on me in the picture... should be higher)

I love that swimsuit! Ive never seen swim wear at our H&M unfortunately.

thanks
the one that I've bought is actually from the Trend section - so wasn't hanging with the rest of lingerie in the shop.

and once again, cause my previous post was deleted :
Scarlett-O - I love this nail polish!

 

[JennyR]

volje- loveee that swimsuit

loving/being very jelous of everyones garden collection purchases- i wanted it alllll (but particularly the red jacket) i haven't been able to get to my local h&m so i guess everything will be gone

question- you know how h&m has a german/sewdish website, can you buy on there and put in a uk address and hope it comes?? lol just there's so much stuff on there i want! would be grateful if anyone could let me know

 

[JennyR]

oh and i bought this a while ago but i'm in love with it ..i've worn it so many times!

has anyone seen the matching shorts in store? I couldn't find them anywhere

 

[Les_Sucettes]

I bought the "white" dress with the small flowers on top. It's really cute but has nothing to do with Natasha's pic. First it's not really white, it's more ecru, and the material is a soft organic cotton, something i would not imagine from the pics. But it's so cheap, that not buying would be just stupid. It's was the only one left in a 4, the turn around in the London stores with this collection has just been crazy.

Mrs Smith: I wanted that tunic you have, but never bothered trying it on and kinda passed it up, but after seeing it on you i'm going to go back for it! you're right, it wasn't really selling too much here either, but i'm excited now

 

[Tiffany7]

Did anyone get the Garden collection floral shorts? I saw them but didnt try them on now I wish I had so just wondering.

 

[lightened]

so i tried on the lace jacket and it was very disappointing and not worth $60 imo.

 

[sharbear508]

I finally stopped by H&M today and snagged what I've been wanting for months now - the Garden Collection red rosette jacket and the Divided cream lace biker jacket. Feel so lucky to have found both in my size. Can't wait to rock both of them come spring!

lightened - Sorry to hear you found the lace jacket disappointing! I know you'd been looking forward to it for months now. Thanks for posting that you'd seen it though...I wouldn't have known it was in stores if it weren't for your post...been too busy to stalk the store lately, LOL.

my lovely sister just surprised me with the red garden collection jacket!
I love it...it is very statement tho, very bright red almost a hot orange whereas I was thinking from the pic it would be more of a dark red. She said there was still quite a lot of stuff left in the Newcastle store...can't believe stuffs going for like £100 on eBay already...so ridiculous

Ooh, what a lovely sister!

I was disappointed by the jacket because of the colour. I bought the dress because since it's strapless, it's far away from my face, but I wish it were more of a true or blue-tone red, like it showed in the product photos and the lookbook...

Downtown Seattle is sold out of the rose dresses in red and white, but still had a lot of the jackets... I was shocked (although I guess I shouldn't be) at what people are paying on eBay already.

I have the matching short skirt. I'm not sure I've ever seen matching shorts? I bought the jacket online on sale but haven't received it yet. How do you think the sizing is? I saw it in a store in 34 a couple of days ago and I thought it looked quite large. (didn't try it on though). I have ordered it in 36, so I'm afraid it would have been better in a 34 for me. I should be able to use it anyway though.

 

[Tiffany7]

Had my mom pick up the Garden Collection floral shorts for me today so happy I did. I LOVE them they are so cute on.

 

[Melisande]

Mrs Smith the tunic and dress look great on you! I thought the same about the dress when I saw it in the store. V. cute, but...when to wear?

I bought the black satin peeptoe espadrilles today...so comfy! Debating whether to get the fuschia or not...

 

[GERGIN]

I was actually really pleased with a lot of the selection from the Garden Collection, and I found most of the pieces very suitably priced. Although it was a huge dissapointment that I could not find the red dress with rose detail anywhere!!

Anyways here's a glimpse of the things I got during my trip to H&M yesterday, and let me tell you, I'm 100% satisfied with all purchases!

Shirt: H&M Purple Label (Mens)
Tank: H&M Garden Collection (Ladies)
Shorts: H&M (Mens)
