Wednesday Winners

It's that time of the week again! Wednesday Winners!

Naomi's Picks:

Topshop Embossed Leather Bag £35
Last weekend I visited Knole Park in Sevenoaks and made friends with lots of little deer that live there, so when I saw this bag it reminded me of the deer, and obviously Christmas! I am getting excited about Christmas already, is this a worry? I like the distressed leather and of course, I love an across-the-body number for hands-free ease!

Topshop Bead Collar Sweat £38
I know it's sad that the colder weather is upon us, but I love throwing on a sweater and getting cosy! I like this sweater for its baggy comfort yet collar glam. Perfect.

Ted Baker PAYGE Oversized Flower Shirt £169
When I see items like this I wish that I worked in a fancy banking office and was required to dress super smartly for work. I would have nowhere to wear this shirt but I love the extravagant flower and the moody colours.

Fred Perry Fair Isle Crew Neck Sweater £95
I love Fred Perry's classic look. 100% lambswool will keep you toasty during winter! Basically you need this sweater. It will look good with anything.

H&M Skirt with Sequins £34.99
This skirt is really pretty. On the website it was paired with a light pink cable knit sweater and the contrasting materials looked really good together.

Let me know what you buy!


Chelsea's Picks:

This week I was spoilt for choice finding my winners and very nearly featured 5 Reiss dresses! I finally managed to narrow it down to one Reiss dress and a selection of other items - in fact, it's a bit of an outfit!

 

1. Reiss Eos Tiered Dress £189

 

As I said, I nearly had 5 Reiss dresses as they have such a good selection at the moment. However, I settled on this one for the winners as I love the classic black with a twist - the sparkle thred that runs through it. The cut is a bit unusual too.

 

 

2. Fred Perry Full Mac £225

 

I love Fred Perry (think it's Kieran's fault as it seems to be his brand of the moment) and I love coats (again, Kieran's fault - I've never known a boy with such a collection of coats!) This classic mac is timeless and has a 60's feel - which I also love at the moment.

 

3. ASOS Flocked Chain Bracelet £15

 

I always forget about accessories when shopping online so made an effort to check them out for the winners. I came across this plaited bracelet on ASOS. This shade of blue (royal? cobalt?) is my fave shade right now and I'm sure it'll add a bit of interest to any outfit.

 

 

4. Office Shard Wedge £58

 

We all know I love a wedge but since seeing the Zara colour block heels I've been debating my next shoe purchase. This pair from Office may just be the best of both worlds - a wedge with a colour heel! And in pink - my fave!

 

5. ASOS Digital Jewel Clutch £15

 

I can sometimes be a bag snob (serious Mulberry addiction) but saving for one bag a year means I can miss out on the high street bargains. I love this jewel print clutch and think it'll be the perfect bag to brighten up the Reiss dress.

 

 

So there we have another week of picks - what do you think?

Sunday Save: French Connection & Urban Outfitters (and a random Fearne Cotton)

Hello!

Today I am bringing you a selection of French Connection and Urban Outfitters items that are in the sale at mostly half-price or more! After just purchasing my car insurance, sale items are the only thing in reach at the moment! Does anyone else think that car insurance is daylight robbery? Especially in London, where it is double what it is if I were to insure at my parents'! Therapeutic moan over. I hope you enjoy these items!


Felicity Snood £75.00 £37.50
A satin-lined faux-fur snood that looks so soft and cuddly! Add glam to any winter jacket/coat with this snood!

Isla Leather Shopper £250 £125

This tanned leather tote is a perfect size. Although a sale item, the buckles and stud detail are on trend this Autumn. 

Twinkle Lace Dress £110 £49

Twinkle Lace Dress - what a beautiful name. Lace and sparkle are a great combo. This will look good dressed down with pumps and a cardi or dressed up with heels and blazer. Why not try Chelsea's cardi from Thursday three-way and a chunky knit scarf with some lace and sparkle gleaming through? I think it be a contrast that works!

Pins and Needles Lace Shoulder Blouse £42 £20

I saw this today in Urban Outfitters - it's really cute. Add a long pendant necklace and pair with jeans for smart/casual or with smarter trousers/pencil skirt for an office look. It is also available in white.

Pins and Needles Lace Pin Up Shorts  £28 £14

Hold on to summer with these cute high waisted jersey shorts.

Sparkle and Fade Textured Animal Sweater £45 £22
A cute leopard print slouchy jumper - good for those days when you just want to throw something on!





Staring at Stars Triangle Smocked Skirt £38 £5
£5 - you can't go wrong! The triangles add a retro vibe, but the waistband makes this skirt. 

Pins & Needles Contrast Collar Tie Blouse £45 £20
This sheer contrast  collar and seam shirt is another retro number. Reminds me of Sandy from Grease. Not sure why. 

Falling Floral Shower Curtain £38 £5

Ok, so I added a couple of homeware items to the post today because I thought they were too much of a bargain to be missed!

Bird & Branch Clock £16 £8

I was in the store today and saw this clock in real life - it is really cute. I love the branch arms of the clock! In store it wasn't reduced so make sure you purchase online!

Fearne Cotton Floral Vintage Dress £49.50 £24.50

And the random Fearne Cotton dress. I absolutely love this dress. You definitely need it.  

Happy saving,

Naomi

Saturday Splurge: Prada Pyramide Bag

This week's splurge is a real luxury item that I have accepted will never be part of my life - it retails at over £2000 so will forever remain a dream but that doesn't mean I can't look at pictures of all the colour combinations and celebrities toting it around!

The Prada Pyramide is made of Serrfino leather, is a slight nod towards the 50s and has contrast piping around the edges. It's sort of looks like a doctors bag but a lot more chic!

 

I can't decide which colour is my fave - I'm torn between the attention grabbing ruby red with pink trim (which would look great with the Charlotte Olympia pumps I posted about) or the more soft and subtle baby blue one.

 

I am not the only one who loves this bag. As you can see, it's the arm candy of choice for celebs at the moment too.

 

Florence Welch opts for lemon

January Jones has been seen with her black one constantly in hand

Katy Perry co-ordinates with her hair and coat

Naomi's fave, Miranda Kerr, keeps it simple and stylish with beige

 

If you too can only dream, how about trying one of these look-a-likes?

ASOS Studded Frame Bag £38.00

 

 

 

River Island Black Quilted Tote £45.00
