Every time I'm itching to shop and add something new to my closet (which is more often than not), I go straight to Zara and H&M to do a little browsing. This time, however, I was blown away by how many great new arrivals were available. With fall being here, I need to step up my cool-weather style, so I have been looking for everything from new boots and hats to great sweaters and dresses. And Zara and H&M did not disappoint. There were so many great items that I couldn't decide what was going to make it from my wish list to my wardrobe. Now I know one of the common complaints about shopping at Zara or H&M is that there are just so many products to look through before you find the items that you actually love. But luckily for you, I've already gone through the sites and picked out some of the best pieces both retailers have on the market right now.
