Since I’m all about affordable style, H&M is one of my favorite places to shop when I’m looking for new items during the change of seasons that will last me a long time.  The Swedish retailer is nothing short of chic, especially when it comes to basics. With the exciting news of an upcoming designer collaboration with the one & only, Versace, I’ve been all over the store’s site, ready to give my entire wardrobe a makeover!

For this fall, if there are five items to check out from the new arrivals @H&M, the $25 & under picks that I’ve selected are can’t-miss finds!

To start off, the fitted leopard mini dress ($17.95) is perfect for calling on the inner wild child when wearing nude booties & a glittered clutch for a date, or pair it with leggings, slouchy boots, & a scarf & you’ll be ready for a day out & about with girlfriends! I love skirts, especially the checked button up skirt ($24.95) which is fun to wear with a cardigan & belt like pictured, or break out the textured tights, knee boots, & silk blouse for a feminine take on menswear inspiration. Also, the skirt is sold in sizes up to 16!

I’ve been on the hunt for a basic white blouse to wear with any bottom in my wardrobe & this tie-front blouse ($24.95) is just what I’m looking for, in a very vintage Marilyn Monroe kind of way.  I love that its pictured with shorts & tights, but would also look great with red jeans, a ruffled mini skirt, or liquid leggings.  This color block sweater ($24.95) first caught my eye as very mod, but  modern as well!  It’s available in two-tone purple, as well as solid aqua & solid white.  It’s a classic cut, flattering for any figure with skinny jeans or leggings & some long beads!

I also recently posted about the lovely Pippa Middleton’s red flats & then I found these red flats ($24.95) from H&M which I love LOVE love b/c of the faux croc textured.  You can also get them in black, which is office-friendly for any garments that you may have in tweed, windowpane, & houndstooth!
