Wednesday? Already? Thank you bank holiday!

Hope you all had a lovely long weekend - I unfortunately, like many others, am now suffering with the beginnings of a cold...so warm, snuggly clothes have been catching my attention.  Thick chunky knits, simple flats and patterned dresses are all I want to wear right now.

Wish List Wednesday

It feels a bit fickle to be writing about clothes and beauty when there is so much else going on right now, so my main wish this week is that you and your families are all safe and well.

But I don't know, rather than denouncing all things 'shallow', perhaps it is best to carry on as normal, as best as we can, to prove that mindless idiots can't dominate our every thought.  So here we go, a few pieces from some of my top UK retailers to prove that there are some fabulous things to be proud of in even the bleakest times.

Burgundy chiffon blouse, £35, Topshop



Cream lace belted dress, £35, River Island



Floral maxi dress, £40, Miss Selfridge

Really horrible to see the Manchester store yesterday - here's hoping they get back up
soon as there are some wonderful pieces at the moment.

Mustard belt, £28, Warehouse



Leopard print boots, £60, ASOS

See - something to be proud of.

Hope you all stay safe and this all blows over soon.  I feel so much for all of the people who have lost their homes, cars and livelihoods to this mindless vandalism and hope they can all receive the help they deserve.

Wish List Wednesday

What a conundrum.  I start to stock up on pieces for my autumn wardrobe and the weather finally heats up, relegating my long sleeved dresses, trousers and knitwear to the back of my wardrobe.

So this week's wishlist is all about transitional items, that can be taken from the humid 30 degree heat we're expecting today, to the cooler climes of September and October....


Sailor blouse, £39, Miss Selfridge


Perfect teamed with jeans or tucked into a skirt, this blouse is light enough for the summer months and the long sleeves and soft colour ensure it will 'work' well into the autumn.



Pink chunky knit sweater, £35.99, Zara

 Ok, so this may not be suitable for the 30 degree daytime heat, but I think it would be the perfect sweater to chuck over a delicate summer dress for those evenings spent lounging in a beer garden.  And as it gets cooler, how lovely would it look over a little skirt and black opaques, or teamed with jeans and pumps?  Definite must buy for me.

Burgundy jersey maxi skirt, £25, River Island

The maxi skirt is one of the best transitional pieces you can get.  Worn with sandals and a vest when it's scorching, or teamed with a leather jacket and ankle boots when it's cool.  And I love the colour (and price) of this River Island number.

Silk printed midi dress, £80, Warehouse

This midi dress is stunning, and would look just as good teamed with sandals as with ankle boots and a leather jacket.

Wish List Wednesday



Gem heel pumps, £50, Topshop


Love these shoes.  I'd never really considered mid-heel's before, but these immediately caught my attention.  The black patent leather, bow front and chunky gem encrusted heel adds up to some rather lust worthy footwear....almost begging to be teamed with an a-line dress, 100 deniers and big hair.

Studded leather bracelet, £9.99, Zara

I've got a real thing about stacks of leather, studded and woven bracelets at the moment, and this would look perfect wrapped around my wrist, contrasting perfectly with the existing sea of brown and beige.

Red skater dress, £42, Miss Selfridge

I searched high and low for my size in the mustard version of this dress, so am now delighted to see it in red.

So that's my wishlist for this week....what's on yours?
