The Garden Collection by H&M

Have you shopped The Garden Collection by H&M yet? The collection came out last week and is the epitome of spring fashion. If florals, pastels and ruffles are your thing, you better rush to an H&M store pronto, because that stuff is selling like hotcakes! I personally love the youthful, summery vibe of the collection and although it’s pouring out right now, looking at these clothes makes it seem like summer is already here! I loved almost every single piece and found it very hard to decide which ones I wanted the most. Well, not like it really matters now because the best ones fly off the shelves on the very first day. Tell me again why H&M doesn’t have online shopping for US residents yet? It’s the year 2010, how could you not include online shopping in your business model?!?! Honestly, it’s very painful to watch a $40 dress being sold for more than double the price on eBay!

Anyway, enough ranting for today. Take a look at the pieces that I’m lusting for:

In Numerical Order: Dress, $39.95; Dress, $19.95; Top, $24.95; Jacket, $34.95; Shorts, $29.95

I didn’t pick any of the floral ones on purpose, because I have way too many in my closet. Apart from the white rosette dress of course which is an absolute stunner! I couldn’t decide whether I wanted the red or the white, but since I’ve been craving for a little white dress since last summer, I pick the white. I love the top because of the crochet detailing on it; make sure you expand the image to see it. And the khaki shorts and jacket were just irresistible! To get the gist of the rest of the collection, watch the video.

According to H&M, “The floral looks are inspired by chlorophyll-green gardens, sundrenched landscapes and even 70s hippie chic flower-power.” And here comes the best part – it’s eco-friendly! “The romantic garden collection is made using organic and recycled materials. All the garments have been produced using sustainable materials or using recycled PET bottles or textile waste,” says H&M. This collection is trendy, eco-friendly and it is super duper affordable. You couldn’t possibly ask for more! Except for being able to shop online, maybe?!?! 😉
