Hello Hennes!

So yesterday I popped in to H&M and was actually quite impressed with some of the womenswear pieces. Normally, I do not shop at H&M purely just for quality reasons but there were some real gems!

I only picked up four basic pieces, but they are so versatile and well cut that I feel I will be wearing them for years-



White t-shirt
£14.99
(Not online)

Hello basic white t! I love this because of the cut- the sleeves fall at a flattering angle and the hem is not quite peplum, not quite curved- but it is however, very flattering! I was searching all over for this in black, but I was informed they did not have it in black. I'm quite happy with this as a basic t under blazers. Let's see how it holds up after being washed!

Black structured sateen blazer
£34.99
(Not online)

One word- wow. When I saw this hanging, I knew I had to have it. It looks just as good off of the hanger as it does on it! The cut is very flattering- unlike anything I've seen at H&M before. The detailing in this jacket is beautiful- it features small striping and pockets. It is of a sateen finish which I normally hate, but on this jacket, I couldn't help but be lured by it! It  looks effortless and classy and one can look put together in seconds- I love!

Black 'honeycomb' cardigan
£19.99
(Not online)

So the photograph does this cardigan no justice- it looks lovely on. Another basic, just hope it wears well though. I bought this because of the 'honeycomb' effect which makes it a little more interesting than a normal mundane black cardigan.

Black boucle-esque bomber jacket
£29.99
(Not online)

This is my favourite piece! I love, love, love this! This reminds me of part Chanel, part vintage- it looks gorgeous on and the sleeves are cuffed 3/4 length sleeves, which look very flattering. This is normally not a piece that I'd even consider but the fabric caught my attention and I had to try it. Now if only I had a jumbo flap bag to wear with it (hey, a girl can dream right?!)


Ta ta!
