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!

 
 
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.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
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.
 
 
 
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!
 
 
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?

Wednesday Winners

It's Wednesday again already and that means another round of Wednesday Winners to share with you all. With all the A/W lines arriving in stores it's been a bit all over the place - much like the weather the stores can't seem to make up their minds whether it's summer or winter and so the picks this week are a mixture of both!

Chelsea's Picks:



Whilst I do think that American Apparal prices seemed to have soared over the last year, I couldn't help but be drawn to this skirt. I love the colour (but it wouldn't be a problem if I didn't since it's available in over 20 difference shades). I also love the length and the optional belt. I'd pair it with cute flats for a casual but cool daytime look.


I love costume jewellery - although this is pretty expensive for costume jewellery. The burgundy coloured jewels play up to my love of this season's hit colour and I really love the little bow effect. A matching bracelet is also available.

3. H&M cable knit jumper (£14.99)

Naomi actually sent me a link to this jumper as she knows I am obsessed with burgundy and I stole it for my picks! Sorry Nams! I really like cable knit too so this is ideal! If you're not as into burgundy as me, then fret not - it's also available in coral, navy, yellow, red and a light 'glitter' brown that I'm very tempted by!


I bought a new top from Topshop not long ago and it was soooo creased that I had to iron it right away. As soon as I touched it with the iron it frazzled (even though the iron was on low!) Anyway, Topshop wouldn't exchange it as they clearly thought my ironing was to blame (deffo not the case!) so I have been looking for some cute shorts to tuck the top into and hide the burn. So, in conclusion, these cute shorts would be ideal with the burnt top!


I honestly think I may be even more obsessed with collars than burgundy and I really love this collared dress. Flower detail, pleats and hi-low hem - music to my ears!


Last week, my husband noted I liked collars after reading the blog and bought me a cute collared shirt from Topshop. If he's reading now - go for the necklace ;-)




Naomi's Picks:


I love the lace and ombre effect to this dress along with the capped sleeves and cute little bow. Dress with some nude heels I recks!

I love everything about this top: the lace, the colour, the fishtail, the peplum, the sheer back and the price. I will definitely be purchasing this as a dress down or dress up little number! 

I used to shrug Hobbs off as a 'mum's shop' but I love their NW3 range! This vintage cable knit cardigan in 'porridge' can be worn with jeans, dresses, shorts, skirts, leggings - basically anything. It is totes grandad chic!   

I have been looking for a leather skirt, but when I saw these shorts I loved them. I like the high waist and vintage-renewal look. These will look good with chunky knitwear (i.e. the above cardigan) and some biker boots. PS delivery only £1 if you enter code 'shweet' at checkout!

5. H&M Collar £14.99
This collar took my breathe away! I absolutely love the pearls and diamantes. This could be worn with any top or dress to add instant cuteness - espesh the mink lace top and black/white lace dress in my picks!

Wednesday Winners

Hey guys

Who's that girl? loves a feel good charitable act and for Wednesday Winners we are donating to you the results of hours and hours trawling the web for your fashion pleasure. Chelsea and Naomi have both picked their top 5 gems emerging on the fashion sites this week and they sure do hope you agree that these are some special items.  Which one(s) will you be getting?!

Chelsea's Picks:

I am desperately clawing on to the last days of summer and am pleased to see that some of the Internet retailers are too. I managed to find these Summer treats amongst the A/W lines...




1. Mulberry Locked Cosmetics Purse in Pink Glossy Goat (£150)
This may strictly be a cosmetics purse according to the people at Mulbs but I think it's far too pretty to be smearing the inside with lipgloss and eyeliner. With dimensions of 21cm x 13cm I think it'll be the ideal clutch to put your phone, money and keys in for a night out.

2. Accessorize Black Glitter Heart Studs (£2)
You have read correctly - this is not a typo - £2!! They may not be Tiffany diamond studs but they sure look sparkly with all that glitter and who can resist anything heart shaped? Not me!

3. Miss Selfridge Hubabuba Glitter Wedge (£55)
I guess I'm still in wedge mode after yesterday's Tuesday Shoesday! These sparkly shoes look super comfy and will compliment the earrings perfectly.

4. Topshop Pansy Print Crochet Collor Top (£34)
I am a serious sucker for a collar. Sometimes I just filter the results by the keyword 'collar'. Especially, a Peter Pan collar (I'm delighted to hear that Marc Jacobs will be heavily featuring Peter Pan collars in his A/W line so hopefully it will continue to be a hit on the high street). Combined with a cute ditsy print, this top will be perfect with skinny jeans or tucked into cute shorts.

5. Ted Baker Birdie Branch Print Dress (£139)
It was hard to pick just one dress as Ted Baker's latest collection is filled with interesting prints and great shapes. However, this quirky bird print dress caught my eye. Not only do I love the design but it's an unusual shape compared to my other dresses and I can imagine it would look great with a colour pop clutch and some killer heels.


Naomi's picks:

I am loving the AW12 pieces hitting the fashion sites this week! 



1. Kookai at ASOS Floral Trousers (£85)
I LOVE these trousers! Oriental chic or what?! Visit the blog next week for tips on how to style floral trousers!

2. Paul Smith at Coggles.com Fairisle Scarf (£125)
What I love about this scarf is the combination of fairisle, solid pink and stripes - a combo perhaps only Paul Smith could pull off.   The 94% wool and bright colours will keep you cosy and cheerful during the impending winter months.

3. Whistles Marianne Satchel (£195)
I have been wanting to invest in an across the body bag for sometime - there are days and events where you just need to be hands free! This is a classic style that won't date - a perfect investment piece and heirloom ;)

4. Miss Selfridge Cream Textured Jacket (£35)
A Chanel-esque jacket for a millionth of the price, you can't say no! Dress this up or down, but don't forget the pearls!

5. Fred Perry at ASOS Gingham Shirt with Roll Up Sleeves (£65)
Burgundy is going to be a big AW colour this year. I love the small collar with the baby buttons and the classic Fred Perry look. By the sounds of the materials: "a blend of cotton and linen with a soft, flannel hand feel", it's going to be delightfully comfy!


We would love to hear your comments and any details of your top 5 items this week!

Lots of charitable love,

Chelsea & Naomi
