Summer is in full force at H&M, and the fast-fashion chain has everything you need for BBQs, the beach and beyond. Trends to note include crop tops with high-waist shorts, boho maxi dresses, touches of lace and crochet, botanical prints and fluent florals, white on white, and classic stripes. Highlights for me included some cheeky "Aloha, beaches" smoking flats, preppy anchor-embroidered shorts, J.Crew-esque sleeveless cotton button down shirts, gingham pants and the prettiest floral chiffon maxi dress ($59.95, shown above). I went a little crazy snapping pics so I've divided my posts into two - here's part 1, check back tomorrow for part 2 (when I'll also reveal what I bought!)

Target is going mad for plaid this fall by rolling out more that 360 everyday items in assorted plaid prints, plus a limited-edition collection by designer Adam Lippes. This is Target's second collab to be announced in recent weeks with a lesser known, inner-circle designer, the first being their jewelry collab with Eddie Borgo.
