I Removed Everything From My Friend's H&M, Zara, and J.Crew Carts and Added These 33 Replacements

One of my favorite things is when friends ask me to help them shop. Similarly, when someone asks for my opinion about whether or not they should buy something, I'm honest. After all, they didn't take the time to text me links for me to lie to them. When taking a peek at someone's shopping cart, I often find too many flash-in-the-pan, trendy items and too many similar items. So when a friend recently asked me for help narrowing down their H&M, Zara, and J.Crew carts, I knew exactly how to lend my services.
These three retailers make so many great things, but when brands have such a large inventory like these do, being picky is necessary. And luckily, I am. So, if you're wondering what I put in my friend's cart from each site, keep scrolling to find out and shop with us.
