I love being a fashion editor, but I think my friends love it even more. Since they know I'm always up-to-date on the latest trends, I swear I've basically become their personal shopper. So with the holidays approaching, you can only imagine how busy they've been keeping me with their fashion-related requests, like "Where can I get a good pair of jeans that aren't over $200?" or "What shoes go best with midi dresses?" and so on. I've been sending through a lot of links to H&M items as this season's collection is everything my friends are looking for: chic and affordable. Want to see the cute dresses, cozy coats, and festive sweaters I've sent over? Keep scrolling.
Trying to look ultra-luxe on a budget? Let me introduce you to this coat.
This was a favorite among my friends. I'm thinking chunky boots and a nice pair of straight-leg jeans will round it out perfectly.
I had to triple check the price when I first looked at this.
The white stitching on these just gives them that cool-girl touch.
The chunky-knit sweater of my dreams.
This is one of those tops that could be worn super casually or dressed up with a skirt and heels.
I mean, this collar. I need it in my life, stat.
With some knee-high boots and some dangly earrings—perfection.
Long coats are everything this year.
The ruffles on this are beyond cute.
It really doesn't get more festive than this.
And if you want a more neutral tone, there's always this white number.
Perfect for curling up with a cup of hot cocoa while still looking cute.
A holiday wardrobe is not complete without at least one thing with sparkles.
White after Labor Day used to be a no for me, but these past few winters, I've been totally here for it.
