Hey!
Today we have decided to bring you our favourite new arrivals at French Connection. They are currently promoting a 20% discount so we wanted you to be able to take advantage of this! To receive the discount just enter 20STYLIST at checkout. We're not sure how long this discount will last - so if you see something that you like then act quickly!
Naomi's Picks:
Arrow Beading Round Neck Top £97
This top is expensive for what it is (100% Viscose), but it does have a zipped back? Team it up with a pair of tailored trousers for a smart and sophisticated look.
The London Dress £40
The lace and length appealed to me here. It consists of an inner strapless fitted dress with a lace overlay.
Sub Zero Slim Fit Trouser £82
Jazz up your AW collection with these trousers. Pretty sure wearing these will perk up your day!
Grand Art Dress £130
A versatile LBD - you know this will get good wear! The zipped front adds even more versatility.
Deerhunter Collarless Jacket £125
Who could hunt deer I don't know, but I love this quilted pleather jacket. Throw it on over a sweater and wrap up with a snood or scarf.
Chelsea's Picks:
My picks are on the pricey side this week so I won't be snapping them all up (not that I ever do this anyway!) but if you were thinking of making a purchase, it seems there's no better time than now!
Spiegal Sequins Tunic Dress £275
I love this dress!! The combination of sequins and sleeves make this the perfect Christmas party dress. I would love to wear it on a night out on my upcoming trip to Vegas but fear the weight of the sequins would tip me over my 20kg! It's a lot for a dress but I do have a FC sequin dress and can let you know the sequins have stayed put and it's excellent quality. The discount cushions the blow!
Disco Leopard Flared Skirt £95
I think this skirt is really fun. I like that it's not conventional leopard colours but nice and bright - perfect for a party! I would deffo wear this with some shoe boots (if only I could settle on a pair!)
Wonderland Wool Collarless Coat £165
With the 20% off, this coat is not a bad price for a good quality, warm winter coat. I bet this coat is super cosy since it's wool. The lack of collar gives it a 60's feel - very Jackie O I think!
Ogopogo Print Top £120
Without seeing this top in the flesh, I can't say it is worth the £120 - it does seem a lot for a basic print top. However, it is a really nice print and I am a fan of the loose fitting style.
Pirahna Drape Trousers £77
I like two things about these trousers - the length with the cute turn up so they will sit nicely on the ankle and the textured look created by the almost jacquard effect. A dress up or down wardrobe essential!
So there's our pick from French Connection. Do you agree with our winners or have you found yourself another must have item? Let us know!
Lots of love
Naomi and Chelsea
Hey Everyone
It hardly seems a week since we were last picking out our Wednesday Winners - where does the time go?! We hope you've all been enjoying our picks and that you aren't suffering too much from the same fate as we have: RSS - Repetitive Shopping Syndrome, from all the clicking and inputting of card details online!!
Chelsea's Picks
This week I've picked out some more wintry items - ironic since I am picking these on what is actually a really sunny day (but unfortunately, the sceptic in me knows this won't last and so it's best to be prepared!)
1. Zara Cable Knit Sweater with Zip (£38.99)
I love this jumper. I really like knitwear, especially cable knit and I love the traditional colour of this Aaron-like jumper. The zip at the back adds a modern twist too.
2. Sam Edelman Kendrix Buckle High Ankle Boots @ mywardrobe (£180)
For a pair of designer boots, £180 isn't too bad (who am I trying to convince?) I think this pair have a Mulberry look about them with all of the straps. I like the tough look and would definitely wear these with a pair of skinny jeans and the Zara jumper!
3. Miss Selfridge Green Lace Insert Tee (£28)
I was really trying my best not to mention collars this week on the blog as I know Naomi will mock my obsession! However, I am willing to sacrafice Naomi having a laugh at my expense to bring you this super cute t-shirt. I love the pale green (although it is equally cute in the cream) and the lace inserts make it slightly more pretty and dressy.
4. George High Waisted Denim Spot Shorts (£14)
Whilst saving for my wedding I got a little bit addicted to finding supermarket bargains! George is my favourite supermarket range and I'm not ashamed to admit that I don't mind picking up a pair of cute shorts with my bread and apples! I think this polka dot high-waisted pair are very Jess from New Girl.
5. Oasis Parka with Leopard Fur Lining at ASOS (£88)
This coat is my favourite of this week's picks. I love a good parka and this traditional khaki one looks so cosy with the leopard lining and hood. It's definitely on the top of my birthday purchases list!
Naomi's Picks:
Zara has absolutely floated my boat this week. I could have picked all five winners from Zara alone, but I didn't want to look like I hadn't put any effort in!
Please note: You need to click on the links for all five of the winners to get a good zoom and appreciate their design and beauty.
1. Zara Jacquard Loom Trousers £39.99
I like the tailored and cropped style of these trousers, but most of all I like the Jacquard design and colours. They are perfect for a smart casual evening look, but could also be dressed down with a chunky knit.
2. Next Check Dress £55
Tartan is sweeping the stores at the moment but the colours of this dress offer you a glam not in-your-face tartan. For taller girls it can be hard to find knee-length dresses and skirts but this one looks like it will keep you work appropriate. The rouched side and capped sleeves turn this dress into a designer look-a-like.
3. Zara Three Quarter Length Puffer Jacket £89.99
I feel guilty announcing this... but I absolutely love puffer jackets. I know that they are not the most fashionable of items but wearing a puffer is like being wrapped in a duvet and quite frankly there is nothing I want more than to be wrapped in a duvet whilst standing on a train platform in winter. I was delighted to see this Zara puffer as I feel it has taken the puffer to a new level of fashionable. The navy and gold colours add sophistication and the zipped collar, gold edged tassels and two sprung belt add style. These features, combined with 30% feather and 70% grey duck down (aka a duvet), scream "buy me now". I really need this in my life.
4. River Island @ ASOS Chelsea Girl Dobby Spot Blouse £25
I think subconsciously I have chosen this blouse in homage of Chelsea - her name and her love for collars, and not to mention my love for lace. I also really love the keyhole detailing at the back of the shirt. Again, I think this could be worn with a pair of jeans or a pair of smart trousers - take your pick!
5. Zara Embroidered Fantasy Skirt £79.99
I must admit I wasn't initially taken aback by this skirt but then I clicked on the zoomed-in image and thought 'wow!'. The pearls and quilted embroidered pattern are unique but also reminded me of a Chanel design. I think this skirt is totally classic chic.
That's it for another Wednesday Winners, thank you for reading! Are there any of these items that you will be purchasing this week? Or do you have your eye on any other items out there? Also, what do you think about purchasing a winter coat already?! We love to hear from you - so please add a comment or send us a tweet!
