H&M, unlike Zara, is not a go to store for me.  But I do go in everyone once in a while hoping to score a trendy top or accessory without spending too much.  I love the paillettes on the collar - they're unexpected, dressy and make the top seem much more expensive than it actually was.  Peplum has been my favorite trend this year.  It may worry some girls, but I think it's very flattering especially for girls who have hips - it exaggerate curves and makes your waist look tiny.  These colorblocked shoes have been a mainstay of my wardrobe all summer - they add punch to any outfit and are so comfortable I wear them to work constantly.  I'll be sad to put them away once the cold weather begins to make an appearance in SoCal.
