It’s official. In 8 days, 21 hours and 54 minutes NZ’s very first H&M store opens at Sylvia Park in Auckland.

I. CANNOT. WAIT.

Fun, on trend (and good basic) affordable (and conscientious!) fashion will be at our fingertips. I’ve long struggled with the some-what limited style options we have here (sorry NZ, but it’s the truth). I buy quite a bit online just to get a little variety in my wardrobe.

With the introduction of stores like H&M hopefully we will have a little more to choose from to inject into our existing wardrobes.

So to celebrate the opening of the Swedish super-store, I’ve put together my top 10 pics that you can get your hands on from October 1st (these are all available in Aussie too if you are reading this across the ditch)

SHOP THE PICKS: Turquoise tassel earrings $14.99 | Mustard yellow frilled dress $59.99 | Halterneck swimsuit $14.99 | Sleeveless maxi dress $69.99 | Suede wedge heels $89.99 | Pink tassel necklace $14.99 | Embroidered cotton dress $69.99 | Blue striped chinos $39.99 | Red off the shoulder dress $29.99 | Beaded shorts $49.99

I can’t tell you how it was to choose just 10 haha! I’m loving all the embroidery and detail that’s coming through for Spring – there seems to be lots of fun colour and print – yay! (but don’t worry, there is plenty of black and grey for those that like that too)

I’m heading along to the media preview night next Thursday so I’ll be sure to jump on Facebook Live from the event and share the excitement with you!

Are you excited too? Have you shopped at H&M overseas or will this be a new destination for you? I’d love to know what you’re thinking, tell me in the comments below

Until Next Time, In Love & Style Always,
