When Girl Meets 30

Holiday Shopping, Gift Giving & Receiving with H&M

December 1, 2014 By Erin Kennedy 30 Comments


This post was sponsored by H&M through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about gift guides, all opinions are my own.

I love to shop and I love fashion. I love shopping the most during the holiday season because I get to shop for myself and shop for friends and family. I am also smart and I like to buy pieces that make sense for myself and that I know my friends will love.

I have an office holiday party in the next couple weeks and I have to work the day of the party. I wanted to find something that I could wear during the day, then easily transform into a fun outfit for a night out on the town.

I found all that I needed for my 2-in-1 ensemble at H&M. I was able to find the perfect pieces that I could just interchange a few and completely change the look from office ready to party ready. I started with an H&M black pattern-knit dress as my classic, base piece.

For work, I added a beautiful black and white blazer and maroon bag. I also purchased a large beaded necklace that I just fell in love with.

For my holiday party, I felt that I changed my look completely and went from the “office look” to “going out” look just by removing the blazer, adding a light pink pashmina, and switching out my maroon purse to my gold glitter clutch.

I have a lot of ladies to shop for in my life, so I put together a fabulous H&M gift guide for my girlfriends. But this gift guide is a great place to start for sisters, aunts, cousins or any lady in your life who loves fashion and accessories.

    I live in Germany and H&M is everywhere out here. I really like their style, but I wonder if their clothing lines are the same world wide or different in each country.

    Absolutely love how you made that dress go from day to night!! I wish I had fashion sense like that, but I am so far from trendy it isn’t even funny. Love some of the gifts you picked out on H&M though… I may have to take a trip there to look for some things for my girls for Christmas!!

    I swear I just saw Jennifer Lawrence wearing a similar white blazer like the one shown here last night on David Lettermen. I love black and white outfit combinations.
