Erdem x H&M : 9 Tips to maximize your chances of getting the pieces you want

in: erdem . Erdem x H&M . H&M . how to buy Erdem collection . online shopping tips

I'll go straight to the tips as I know we don't have much time before the online sale starts (8am EDT online). I'm writing from Spain and therefore these tips are based on what I saw happened on the European H&M sites and live tweets around 7 hours before the sale in the US.

👀

💪 The website was much harder to reach than the app. If you can, have both platforms ready and try to buy on the app first, as very soon the H&M site was not reachable for many. From a browser, the Erdem product page is where the sale will happen, you can buy directly from it: http://www.hm.com/us/erdem#women
💪 Create an H&M account (including shipping address, credit card, etc.) if you don't have one before the sale starts and be logged in already when you visit the site or app.
💪 Browse now and know what you want and where it is located in the page. Avoid scrolling down during the sale and browsing to find it! http://www.hm.com/us/erdem#women
Avoid relying only on the sections like "Trousers", etc. because many tops are scattered in between other items.
💪 If there is no price on the picture, it means it's sold out, try not to lose time clicking on pieces that no longer have prices.
💪 You can add the items to your shopping bag from the same Erdem page and it's better to do so, otherwise you have to click on "Product details" and go to another page and lose time and probably the item. If you know you want an item, add it to your shopping bag from the Erdem page, not the regular H&M product section.

💪 You will not be able to apply any discounts to the Erdem collection, just the shipping discount on sales over $40: code is 0040
💪 Items that sold out first: both floral and gray blazers, all the dresses and all the jacquard collection (except the shoes which sold out afterwards), the embroidered sweatshirt and some of the lacy tops. Eventually everything sold out as less was available.
💪 You can only purchase one item of each so don't lose time trying to add a second.
💪 When you're ready, pay as soon as possible as most probably leaving it in your shopping bag is very risky and you cannot count on having the item until you've paid. Remember: Free shipping code for over $40 is 0040 and you cannot apply any other discounts so don't lose time trying to do it.
💪 Have fun and don't get bummed out if you don't get a piece you wanted as the good news is you'll end up with more money in your bank account. Try not to buy something you didn't want only because it's the only thing left or to compensate for a piece you really wanted. It is much better to get something else you love from another brand or designer than waste it on this collection just for the sake of it or to tweet about it. Nothing will happen to you if you don't own an Erdem x H&M piece, I promise 😘

The best outfits don't match

To match or not to match? That is the question. The best part of styling an outfit is to decide whether to go matchy matchy or make it work without being obvious.

In this example, we chose three colors as the base palette: white, nude and burgundy. Then added a few touches of black, salmon and other colors from the printed pants. But since we can't stand an obvious combination, we added a bright yellow cropped top that makes a statement while uniting the rest of the palette. It's simple: the more you try out new styling possibilities, the better your outfits will get.

Outfitology cheat sheet - Get the look (links open in a new window):

Browse Nude Cardigans, Bib Necklaces, Long Blazers, Colorblock Bags, White Short Dresses, Crop Tops, Floral Pants, Colorblock Heels, Chain Bangles.

Outfit pieces:

Openwork Jacket by Pull & Bear; Short Ombre Sequin Bib Necklace by LOFT; Seamed Ponte Jacket by Oasis; Max Satchel by Vince Camuto; Crinkle Effect Dress by CUTIE; Short sleeveless top by H&M; Floral Print Trousers by Adriana Voloshchuk; Rafferty High Gladiator Sandals by Topshop; Chain Black Wrap Leather Bracelet by LK Designs.

Brocade goes a long way

in: brocade . Chicnova . fall . H and M . H&M . Halston Heritage . J. Crew . Mango . oxblood . palette . Rebecca Minkoff . Stella & Dot . Topshop

Nothing welcomes fall better than the luscious palette and texture of a memorable jacquard brocade look. Whether you go for the unexpected playful version (left) or for the elegant upscale version (right), brocade is a beautiful way to add interest to your wardrobe. The metallic and repetitive patterns mixed in with its classic floral ways, make it a current must-have that is both opulent and daring. Include in your season's palette: nudes, taupe, browns / black, grays, gold and the color of the season: oxblood or aubergine and make it an autumn staple. Color blocking in the accessories is a great option for including additional touches of color to the mix without shifting the focus off the brocade and integrating the entire look.
