Spring Clothing Wish List

Well there was that one week, where everyone got super excited (and terrified!), about the rise in temperature. I mean, I saw guys in shorts and T-shirt’s, and I didn’t wear a coat for two days!! As much as I am not into this global warming, I am looking forward to the warmer weather and it got me thinking about the pieces I need to add to my wardrobe to be ready for Spring. Below I have listed my wish list for when things get a little warmer ...

1. M&S Ribbed Polo Neck // The perfect under layer for a Summer dress to make it Spring transitional ready.

2. New Look Lace Up Hiker Boots // I’m loving the biker boot trend, I’ll be pairing these with a floaty midi skirt.
3. Topshop Fitted Western Denim Jacket // The denim jacket has always been the perfect Spring/Summer throw on, and I’ve never owned one! I think now is the time ...

4. Stradivarius Flowing Blazer // Getting inspiration from Allana Davison, I am after a longline blazer to pair with straight leg jeans, a plain tee and heels!
5. And Other Stories Straight Mid Rise Jeans // I must admit, I have moved to the other side. Straight Leg Jeans! And I won’t be turning back ... this colour would be a great addition and I love And Other Stories’ denim.

6. Miss Selfridge Khaki Linen Stripe Co-ord // Now this would be like wearing PJs and I am so here for it! With some mules and a straw bag, I’m all set.

7. ASOS Design Polka Dot Midi Skirt // Smart enough for work, paired with trainers and a plain tee. The perfect Spring outfit.

8. Zara Contrast Ring Earrings // I’ve always loved big earrings, I was there for the chandelier earrings in the early 2000’s. So I’m expanding my collections with lots of materials, shapes and colours. And these from Zara would be a great addition.
9. Cos Loose-Fit Seersucker Shirt // A fab twist on a classic, what’s more to say?
10. Mango Classic Trench with Bows - The perfect transitional coat. The trench can also smarten any outfit!

Winter Wardrobe Essentials

We are now a good few weeks into Winter and things are starting to get extremely cold! I mean, We tried to out the heating on, but we still haven't figured it out after three years, so we sat fully clothed in our dressing gowns! But with the cold weather means a strategic Winter wardrobe. So below, find a few of my favourite picks for your wardrobe essentials!

Cashmere Sweater
Cashmere is one of the warmest and cosiest fabrics. More expensive than other sweaters or jumpers but in the winter it is definitely worth the money. Pair it with boyfriend jeans and trainer for a casual day look, or leather trousers and heels for a smart evening look.

Boyfriend Jeans
In my opinion, Winter is one of the most casual of seasons. Throw on some loose boyfriend fit jeans, white trainers and a cosy jumper, and you are ready! Alternatively, I am a fan of boyfriend jeans with heels and a sparkly top (but maybe that's my inner 90's child trying to burst out!)

Blanket Scarf
What can keep you more warm then a blanket scarf?! Wrap it round your coat when you leave the house, or wrap it round yourself ... like a blanket ... when you get to your destination and are still a little chilly. Literally one of my favourite things about winter are blanket scarves!

Leather Jacket

Nothing is as effortless as throwing on a leather jacket, it can be thrown over anything! Jeans, dresses, midi skirts, all go with a leather jacket. Every wardrobe (not just winter) needs a leather jacket!

Fedora Hat

To finish off your winter look, throw on a fedora hat! Keeps you warm, and gives you that 'pulled together' look.
