Cosy Knits


As the cold weather seems to have well and truly arrived, this week our focus is on cosy knitwear which will see you through several winter seasons.  We've found several pieces which we believe you will be happy to be reunited with year after year.


First up is our all -important inspiration - this is not designed to make you want to rush out and buy more stuff - it's designed to help you reflect on what you already have in your wardrobe and to may be consider one or two more purchases to enhance what is already there.



















Currently there is a pretty large pile of knitwear in my spare room.  It's the "should I keep or should I ebay" pile, and it has been there for at least a month, maybe more.  The items in there are those pieces that I thought I didn't need anymore all those weeks back, but now I'm not so sure.  Anyway, the reason I'm telling you this is, until I decide what I'm doing with that pile, I am not allowing myself to buy anymore knitwear....(this was typed before I had finished browsing for this post!)

Here's the highstreetedited knitwear picks - all price points covered - don't be put off if the first couple are outside of your budget - I include them, not because I can afford them, but because I like to dream!  And they may be discounted at some point soon...fingers crossed.

Ooh lots of lovely knits there - I am seriously tempted by several of them.  I'm loving the idea of wearing knits with sequins this winter -  this sequin skirt would be perfect, as would these trousers - not sure I'm brave enough though!

I hope this week's picks will keep you warm until next Saturday,

See you then,

All In Ones, Jumpsuits, Boilersuits ....




All in ones, boilersuits, jumpsuits - whatever name you wish to call them, I adore them!

I have quite the collection in my wardrobe and today I am wearing my green one which I purchased last Summer from Sezane.  Be warned, it's not the cheapest, but it is definitely worth the price! It has been a stalwart this Summer so far and probably will be for many years to come - minimal cost per wear!

Sezane still do the style I 'm wearing -Sezane Bennie Jumpsuit - albeit in different colours this year - Ecru, Blush (I adore this one - imagine with boxfresh Novesta Ecru Plimsolls and this cute Jute bag) and Coffee.  There is a green one available in a different style (the Margaux) which also looks pretty darned perfect too!

Here are some visuals:

What to wear it with?

Sometimes I layer a striped tee underneath (as today - on instagram)  and I usually wear a pair of flats - trainers, ballet flats, sandals or flip flops.  The choice is yours, whatever you feel most comfortable in.


A point to note:  

Whilst you're on the Sezane website don't miss this , this, and these.

Things That Make Me Go Yay! : Bargain Cashmere

Often when I'm browsing the internet I come across things that make me go "Yay!" to myself (usually in the early hours of the morning), and I make a mental note to write a post about them at some time in the future.  Then, guess what?, I usually forget all about them.... Well folks, that was the old me.  I am now making an actual note of any such occurrences to ensure I let my lovely readers in on the secrets. 

Today's "Yay!" moment is

Back to Basics: The Linen Tee

Today's Topic:  The Linen Tee

For a tee shirt that little bit lighter than cotton for those warmer Summer days. A great basic for home or away. Why wear linen instead of cotton?  Check out this link for the benefits of wearing linen.

During some recent on-line browsing I came across this little linen tee, in black
