Hello m’dears!
Well, I think it’s safe to say that Summer has well and truly ended. Whilst I’m gutted that we’ll only be receiving rare sprinklings of sunlight and warmth for the next 6 months, I am looking forward to Autumn/Winter fashion. The glamour of A/W fashion really does compensate for the dark mornings, the dull days, the gloomy afternoons, the bitter cold air and various types of precipitation.
So whilst I’m mourning the death of the warmth, now is the perfect excuse for some winter wardrobe retail therapy. I have to say that H&M have really surprised me so far, I was blown away by their new Autumn Collection. I spotted Velvet Capes, Cut Out Fit & Flare skirts and Luxurious Faux Fur coats but this was the highlight for me. Yes, it’s none other than this delicate, embellished chiffon drop hem dress.
Go on, admit it. You love it already, right? It’s remarkably similar to the Dip Hem or Hi Lo cut that I’ve been loving all summer, but the added embellishment makes it perfect for winter. The embellishment is very light, yet gives the piece that air of elegance we so desire and the neckline is very different to anything else I own. It sits along the neck and has a tie-up at the back that feels pretty comfortable, not like you’re being strangled!
I’m always a little skeptical when buying long dresses, fearful that they’ll be too long for my petite frame however I was pleasantly surprised with this. The backdrop just about touches my ankles, whilst the higher hem hits around mid-thigh. The fabric is completely sheer so I wore a bodycon underneath, and I can assure you this is as close as I’ll ever get to sporting the ‘underwear as outerwear’ look.
Naturally then, as soon as I discovered this in H&M with its subtle, stylish embellishments, the flowy, ultra-feminine chiffon fabric and the ever-flattering nude colour I just knew it had to be mine.
Nude Chiffon Drop Hem Embellished Dress – H & M Autumn Collection

How stunning is this, really?
Best part? It’s just Β£49.99!
I really am in love with this dress, so much so, I even bought the same one in red! Am I obsessed? Well… err… Yes!
If you’re in as much awe of this dress as I am, you can get it on the website!
What do you think of the new Autumn Collection for H&M?

November 10, 2013This looks SO lovely on you Halima! I defo think it's an investment piece as it looks like it could be worn dressed up or down for different occasions. I've kind of gone off H&M a bit lately but I'll make sure to check their new collection next time I'm in town!
