There is no denying that I love shopping for Harlan. She is such a girly girl and loves dressing up just as much as I love dressing her. Since having her, I think that whenever I go shopping 95% of the time I buy something for her rather than myself.
A couple of weeks ago Harlan and I and some other wonderful NYC bloggers were invited to H&M to do a little holiday shopping. H&M provided us with a $100 gift card to shop the children’s holiday and winter collection.
I am a loyal H&M shopper, but have never had a chance to do any shopping for Harlan at the store. I was pleasantly surprised at all that they had to offer. Not only are their clothes priced low, but H&M upholds high standards for the clothes they produce.
Because H&M is a global company, they follow the strictest laws when producing their clothes. All of H&M’s clothing restricts the use of chemicals and undergoes extensive quality and safety tests. Their children’s clothes are upheld to even stricter standards, going through numerous amounts of tests to make sure they are even safe for a precious newborn. All of their baby collection is made from organic cotton.
All of these guidelines made me even more excited when Harlan and I started our shopping spree, because I knew I could get both quality and quantity!
Harlan wanted to get in on the shopping fun!
She found the grey tutu and fell in love {so much so that she refused to take it off and left the store wearing it!}
I walked away with some adorable clothes for Harlan including a grey tutu, black sweater leggings, and a pink polka dot sweater. Harlan got to do a little shopping herself and picked out Minnie Mouse gloves, a Minnie Mouse shirt, and a Snow White purse. I even did little shopping for Baby Girl #2. This is the first outfit I’ve bought for her! How cute is the cream tutu and pink dress?! All of this for $100!
After our fabulous shopping spree we ventured down to the H&M showroom in SoHo to have lunch and get a sneak peek of their Spring collection.
The women’s Spring collection is filled with bright colors and had me desperately wanting to be skinny again so I could wear all of the clothes {thankfully in the Spring, the baby will be here and hopefully I will be able to fit in the clothes again.}
We also had a chance to see their collection for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo that will be available in their pop-up shop in the Meatpacking District. I have my eye on a rugged looking leather jacket that will compliment any outfit.
Their children’s collection for Spring is filled with bright colors and lots of great prints. Can’t wait to get some of these items for Harlan!
GIVEAWAY! If you still have a little holiday shopping left, I have the perfect gift for you! H&M and I are giving away a $100 gift card, plus a VIP unlimited 25% off card valid until June 30, 2012! How is that for spreading some holiday cheer?!

I like this shawl sweater for my son http://www.hm.com/us/holiday-collection#looks/look12 and I know when I head to H&M I’m going to have to pick up some more of their $9.95 twill pants that look like skinny pants and fit him perfectly. The striped vneck sweaters with elbow patches for $9.95 are also great for my boys.

Hi! We “met” tonight on Twitter (RE: Elmo and bibles). I just have to say that I love H&M! I have been living in London for the past 6 years so I’m a big fan! Also, I’m happy to see they have a few stores in the DC area 🙂
My favorite outfit is: The short satin dress with floral design. I saw it a few days ago but couldn’t try it on (I had the toddler with me)
