As promised, here's part 2 from my shopping trip to H&M this week where I snapped pics of some of my favorite fashions currently in store. (See part 1 here.) I was last-minute dress shopping for an event we have this weekend and was glad to see dresses on just about every rack in the store, from casual sundresses to more formal dresses you could wear to a wedding like this yellow lace dress, or the watercolor print dress above - it would go perfectly with the strappy silver sandals that you'll see below! I guess H&M knows that everyone is dress shopping right now, whether it's for graduations or garden parties. Other highlights include this double layer tank, this palm print dress, and this jersey stripe dress (which I bought...glad I didn't pay a small fortune for the Milly at Kohl's t-shirt dress I featured here). Also, this striped cotton dress would make a chic beach cover-up, as would this beach to street striped dress (both have a Madewell vibe I'm loving). What can I say, so much to love right now at H&M! Keep reading for more photos and to see what I bought, plus some notes on sizing.

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!)

See anything you love?
