It's part of my job to scour all our favorite online brands, designers, and retailers daily to bring you the crème de la crème of seasonal buys that are not only fashion-forward but also worthy of your wallet. I'm not going to lie. I'm a picky fashion editor, and it takes a lot to actually make me press the purchase button at checkout. One affordable retailer I've been utterly impressed with this summer is H&M. Some of its latest warm-weather offerings could honestly pass for designer, and I've already purchased a handful of chic pieces that look seriously expensive.
