Never Fully Dressed Wishlist

Harper Maxi   Josephine Wine   Maggie Khaki
Harley Knit Tan   Felice Twin Grey   Killer Frock Red

Lately, Essex based brand Never Fully Dressed has been dropping some amazing looks on my newsfeed. Seriously, they know how to draw a girl in. So I just had to take a look through their latest arrivals and share a few of my favourites with you. And yes, my jaw literally dropped when I saw that powder blue asymmetric gown.

Beauty Wishlist

As regular readers will know, I am no beauty expert, nor do I pretend to be. My beauty routine involves the same handful of products I have been using since my teen years. In fact, only a couple of months ago did I upgrade my foundation from Dream Matte Mousse (it's cool, I use No.7 now, thanks to the guidance of my good friend Daisy). However, lately I have been overcome by the urge to experiment with my cosmetic choices, so I thought I'd put together a little wishlist in the hope that my bank balance will soon catch up...

Let me know what beauty products you're loving right now in the comments.

Olive Wishlist

tassel detail square tee, £39   flower print dress, £69   cropped big pocket detail jacket, £89   buckle detail checked dress, £69
deep v neckl shirt dress, £69   colour detail sleeve stripe jumper, £49   mini envelope bag, £28   tassel detail sweatshirt, £35
suedette strappy dress, £49   button detail mini skirt, £35   floral point dress, £65   long pu skirt, £79

Olive has been on my radar for a few years now, ever since they popped up as a suggestion on my newsfeed. I love the minimalist feel of the brand, as well as it's evident vintage inspiration. Currently they have one store in Cheltenham, which I hope to be visiting soon when I visit my sister in nearby Gloucester. The Olive website is beautifully designed and every product is photographed to look much more premium than it's price tag would suggest. Check out Olive's Facebook page to see more gorgeous looks. I can't wait to introduce some of these pieces into my wardrobe.

Lavish Alice Summer Wishlist

Regular readers will know that I LOVE Lavish Alice. I bought one of their dresses to wear for my 22nd birthday (unfortunately I was slightly too inebriated to take any decent photos, but I do eagerly await another opportunity to wear it!), so I know from experience that their products are fantastically well-made and so flattering. Always on-trend yet with that unique LA flair, I'm definitely a loyal fan of the brand. Check out my favourite summer pieces, available to shop now.

1. Camel Split Back Cape Dress   2. Coral Pink High Neck Midi Dress   3. Monochrome Brush Print Cape Blazer

4. Navy Bandeau But-Out Midi Dress   5. Nude High Neck Crop Top + Nude Tailored Flares   6. Terracotta High Neck Midi Dress

Homewares Wishlist

desk chair - argos, magnetic list pad - paperchase, wall shelf - tiger, clock - la redoute, cushions - h&m, lamp - wilko

I am 22 years old and I live with my mum. And by the looks of things, that's probably going to be the case for a while. So one of my favourite things to do is to update my bedroom. I'm a bit of a hoarder, so I love coming up with fun ways to organise my space. As I've grown, my room has grown with me.
These are my new favourites pieces in my ongoing struggle for interior acceptance.

Warehouse High Summer Sale Wishlist

denim midi dress £25    eyelet detail vest £12   high waist linen shorts £15   check print shirt dress £30 
leather zip round cross body bag £15   wrap detail midi skirt £15   folk utility maxi dress £25

Warehouse launched its high summer sale this week, and there are some amazing deals to be had! Some of the brand's most popular prints and styles have been added, and everything is at its lowest price, so buy or now or lose out! I'll be stocking up on minimalist pieces with an urban feel for that effortless cool that Warehouse is known for.

& Other Stories Wishlist

one   two   three   four
five   six   seven   eight

I just love browsing the & Other Stories website. Mainly because of their beautiful and diverse pieces, but also because of the way they photograph their products. These images alone make the items look high-end. But the brand's focus is on creating items that will last for seasons to come, so the slightly-higher-than-high-street prices can be forgiven. These are truly wonder pieces to be cherished.

Lavish Alice A/W14

one   two   three   four   five   six   seven   eight   nine

I know I posted about Lavish Alice not long ago, but their new collection is so amazing that I just had to share it! In a palette of soft autumnal shades, LA re-imagine some of their most popular silhouettes, as well as introducing a fab jewellery line by Bill Skinner. I'll definitely be snapping up the navy clutch, and perhaps the cream midi for my 21st in a few weeks...

Ankle Boots for Autumn

1. zara   2. asos   3. river island
4. aldo   5. kurt geiger   6. dune   7. topshop

With the summer months coming to a close, it's time to leave the sandals and the open toes behind. So here's my round-up of the best ankle boots on the high street, all guaranteed to ward off the cold whilst adding the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.

New Season Coats

1. topshop   2. topshop   3. river island   4. warehouse   5. boohoo   6. h&m   7. river island

Alas, Summer. We had a ball, but the time has come to bid farewell and look towards the colder months.

Last year, I must have bought about 6 new coats. I loved and wore them all, but it cost me a lot of money, and seeing my mother raise her eyebrows at me every time I came home with another huge carrier bag taught me that, this year, I have to be savvier. So I've scoured the high street for my favourites. From dusters to boyfriend styles, fur collars, sleeveless and even maxi coats, there's a lot of choice out there this year. Don't worry, I won't be buying them all...

If, like me, you're an avid reader of Look Magazine, you'll already have heard of Lavish Alice. With plenty of celeb followers, the brand offers minimalist styles in on-trend colours and high-end silhouettes. Be sure to check out their amazing line of shoes too.

Summer Scents

One of the perks of working in a department store is that I am exposed to products that I wouldn't usually be. Fragrances are one example. My signature scent is Vintage by Kate Moss, bought entirely for the name at the age of 14. However, since then, the fragrance has been discontinued. I managed to get a bottle online, which should last me a good few months, but now comes the task of finding a replacement.

A lot of time spent in the fragrance department, and a penchant for pretty bottles and musky, floral scents have led me to these five fragrances. I don't know much about fragrances, so I'll let The Perfume Shop do the talking.

1. Vivienne Westwood's 'Boudoir'
The Perfume Shop says: 'This feminine scent possesses a blend of classic oriental and floral scents.'

2. Dolce and Gabbana's 'Dolce'
TPS says: 'A gentle, feminine mix of white flowers, defined by the White Amaryllis.'

3. Elie Saab's 'Le Parfum'
TPS says: 'The top note opens with a sun-kissed, radiant orange blossom, as an ode to light.'

4. Viktor & Rolf's 'Flowerbomb'
TPS says: 'Bursting with floral accords which explodes with freshness.'

5. Giorgio Armani's 'Si'
TPS says: 'an irresistible combination of strength and a timeless classic.'

Get the Look - Emma Watson in Valentino

skirt - asos, top - h&m, jacket - warehouse, shoes - carvela

Emma Watson stepped out at the Valentino couture show wearing the brand head to toe. She opted for a black lace maxi skirt and matching crop top, finished with a leather biker jacket and red courts. Get the look with a bandeau and this lace skirt by ASOS (which is now only £12), and finish it off with your trusty leather and a pop of colour. Also, her cool clutch is by designer brand M2 Malletier.

Marble Jacquard Print by Oasis

1. shell top   2. pencil skirt   3. shoes   4. coat   5. dress   6. clutch

I'm a fan of a good statement print, and Oasis has tapped into a major trend this season with its gorgeous marble print range. The pale blue colour is great for summer, and the range includes pieces perfect for workwear, evening and casual looks.

& Other Stories

Since visiting the & Other Stories store on Regent Street last week, I have developed a small obsession with the brand. With ateliers in Stockholm and Paris, & Other Stories have created an urban yet minimalistic vibe that really translates to its customers. The price point sits at the top end of the high street, but I went ahead and picked out my favourites from their new collections.

1. lip colour in pink dark   2. a line midi skirt  3. rounded leather clutch   4. short sleeved shirt dress
5. semi transparent ring   6. shortsleeved fold blouse   7. vika gazinskaya dress   8. suede and gold high heels

Marks & Spencer's Limited Collection

It's been difficult to miss Marks and Spencer's latest Leading Ladies campaign. It stars some of the most influential women in Britain, such as Annie Lennox, Emma Thompson, Alek Wek and Rita Ora. And if these incredible women weren't enough, the clothes they are wearing are perhaps just as inspiring - and all available from Marks and Spencer. Check out my favourite pieces from the limited collection below. You won't believe it's M&S!

1. sleeveless blazer   2. button through car coat   3. cross back metallic vest dress   4. leather look cropped top
5. floral shift dress   6. city mint shorts   7. floral cropped blouse   8. vanity cross body bag
9. floral bomber jacket   10. platform shoes

Wishlist - Blurred Lily Print by Warehouse

I love dark florals. This print by Warehouse is so pretty, yet kind of spooky at the same time. Call it girly grunge, if such a thing exists. I really want that sweatshirt in my life, and the shift dress for when the weather warms up!

Blurred Lily Print Sweatshirt - £45, Dress - £46 + Skirt - £30

The return of the slip dress

one, two, three, four, five, six

Doesn't seem logical, does it? Why, when we are expecting snow any day now, has this silky, strappy, summer offering popped up again from seemingly nowhere? Okay, maybe it had something to do with Marc Jacobs nightwear inspired designs for Louis Vuitton. But that topless model with only her arm to save her dignity is enough to prove that Marc did not have winter dressing in mind. Slip dresses have been a big deal for a while now, with Zara highlighting their extensive offering in their latest campaign.

Consider layering options before investing. You will need a trusty collection of scarves, jumpers and jackets to pull off this trend, unless you're willing to wait until summer.

Revolve clothing have brought together 5 top fashion bloggers and 5 coveted brands to create 5 exclusive bomber jackets in an inspiring series of collaborations. I love all the designs, but the jacket by LNA and Always Judging is particularly tempting. Shop the whole collection at Revolve.

Wishlist - Scenic Landscape Collection by Oasis

I just adore the mysterious wintery landscape on these pieces. They form a capsule collection designed by Louise Leighton, a graduate from the Manchester School of Art whose love of the outdoors inspired the designs. My favourites are the dress and sweatshirt.

Tube Dress - £50   Sweatshirt - £45   Tux Jacket - £80   Shell Top - £38
