Baby Herald can bring a big sigh of relief as there won't be any scary matchy-match dressing in our near future. I just didn't like the fit of the big striped sweater ($49.95).
The dress looks OK on the left, but really it looks like the picture on the right. Too baggy.
Bought the leggings ($9.95) for the baby, and OK, maybe just a little matchy-match. I got the scarf ($24.95).
The dress (with pockets!) I wanted to buy for Baby Herald, and the yellow skirt ($17.95) I couldn't resist.
All the bow tops were great fun. $34.95, $39.95, and $24.95.
There's perfectly crystal-adorned Rykiel...
and then there's wacky Rykiel. Here's what I call the big rock dress and the pile rug vest ($49.95).I love the tote ($3.95 and 30% goes to charity) and picked up the adorned, cross-body Rykiel bag ($24.95) for a friend's 6 year-old daughter. Her dad said "She's going to love all the stuff on this purse."
My husband gave this jumpsuit ($69.95) a thumbs down.
I loved it in the dressing room, but it looked a little goofy at home. If the rear view was a little tighter, I would have fought for it, but it hangs sloppy back there. I was surprised that the medium in this jumpsuit runs really long and fit a little too baggy all over, not just in the rear. Some of the Rykiel sizing was confusing. I'm tall, and currently not exactly back in pre-baby shape, so I thought the medium would be a tight fit. Nope. But other mediums fit fine, like the very adorable "bodycon" dress ($49.95). And I'm not a big fan of "bodycon," mainly because I'm sick of reading about "bodycon."This pink skirt also surprised me, tiered ruffles are usually not my thing, but this wasn't bad at all ($49.95) Suspender-like ties are attached.
After making a big dent in the Herald Square store, I walked down 34th to our other H&M at 7th Avenue. There wasn't as big a selection, but I did see the trompe l'oeil bow sweater in black and pink, and found the black and white striped sweater in a large ($29.95).I want to keep it, but the large is really large. I thought perhaps it would be OK with leggings, but it's cut too big all over. I'll be returning it with the jumpsuit. But that doesn't mean I didn't think the collection was a success. As a whole I thought it was fun, full of Rykiel stripes and garnishes, and reasonably priced. The jackets, in particular, feel solid, fit perfectly boxy, look very Rykiel, and are a great deal for the price ($69.95).

I'm SO glad you got the scarf. Those stripes are marvelous, and should be worn by both baby and mom.
I like the boob bows on you.
Not inspired to get into it. Except maybe the jump suit for the next (extremely unlikely) time I get a spray tan and need something to wear home.
And that dress is a nothing hey?
xx
LOVE the tiered skirt. I didn't even see that in the look book.
Craig - me either. great fit, i was surprised I liked it!
Hammie - Yeah, the dress was a disappointment. The scarf is enough for me. I almost kept the black sweater, but the material is a little thin.
WendyB - this collection was a boob-bow fest!
Sal - the girls stuff was the CUTEST! And I'm def. keeping the scarf!
Please wear the scarf and bring the leggings-wearing baby into the office one day!! I think the blog needs a picture of the matchy-ness!
You should have bought the black sweater, it was gorgeous on you!
I think you scored with that scarf. Definitely my favorite piece!
