Preview: Sonia Rykiel for H&M

Sonia Rykiel for H&M's lookbook made it's way onto the net today thanks to The Cut! These looks are super cute and affordable ranging from $5.95 for a bracelet to $59.95 for platform shoes. I am totally a fan of the very French chic look in the knits! As stripes never seem to go out of style, I definitely would want to pick up the wedge sweater dress and the bow jumper pictured below! The rhinestone Beret & Rose headband look super cute and useful too. Are you feeling this collaboration? What will you be picking up? Looks will hit stores on February 20, 2010.
