There is a painfully adorable epidemic sweeping Scandinavia! I am talking, of course, about the little navy blue cropped sailor jacket that's been showing up on every Swede/Finn/Norwegian (I'm sure though I don't have proof) in bloggerland. Looks like H&M has a hit!
I actually tried it on yesterday. It was funny, I only saw two of them in the whole store (Herald Square, on a Saturday afternoon, agh what was I thinking?), slung over separate racks, one in size 12 and one in size 2 which, I'm pretty sure, was probably the last available size 2 in New York, if not the entire western world. I tried the 2, and it's true, I could imagine a beautiful future with that little fella. But worth the pricetag? I have my doubts. Maybe (definitely) I'm just a cheap skate but, hey, at least I'll have plenty of opportunity to live vicariously through these lovely ladies!

omg it is cute! if only u had posted it earlier i could have rushed to hm to check it out today! damn. no hm all summer for me =(
i've seen that jacket everywhere in paris too. i've almost bought it three times, but with that money i could also buy 30 brioches.....
i love h&m, but i love it's clearance rack at jersey gardens even more. ditto on living vicariously, methinks.
what blog is the third set of photos from?
Indeed, this jacket has consumed most of my life as I fruitlessly phrase and rephrase my ebay searches to find something similar. I shall move on to my mother's closet, for the nearest H&M is not so near at all.
sara, the third set is from It's Vintage, Darling!
and Catherine, go for the brioches, for sure!
It's everywhere! It's the H&M big hot piece of the moment. This jacket and those fabric flowers.
i read all those blogs and have noticed this jacket as well. however i didnt notice it was the same one. funny how that happens, huh?
I wouldn't buy it BUT I do love how all these lovely ladies incorporated it to their look differently.
You're a stronger woman that I! I haven't found it at my local H&M yet but if I do I'm pretty sure it's coming home with me.
OMG I want that jacket!!! Lovely post today! Thank you!!!
I adore that jacket. Not even one have arrived at my nearest H&M though (even if I live in Finland, there should be those!).
It's odd that I had always thought people got that jacket from eBay or places like that, never imagined it was from H&M.
thanks ringo, i always go for the brioche....good for the soul though not necessarily the pant size...
wow they are so cute! i must check h&m soon! how much did it cost??

its beautiful!
Kitty--I believe it was about $40. Too rich for my blood, ha!
ahhhh they don't have those little blazers at our h&m ;(
Oh I totally know what you mean. I've tried searching ebay for that elusive jacket - but to no avail! I've got a similar one in grey i nabbed in the Topshop sale though!
