Sale Picks - Boden

Boden's Clearance section is always worth checking out when visiting their online store, particularly at the end of each season when a good quality basic can always be found at a discounted price! 

I have an eye on a few of the pieces below...

Top Row, Left to Right:  

Circle Sandal now £36

Riviera Dress now £39.20

Lightweight V Neck Tee now £6

Ischia Halter Neck Swimsuit now £30

Middle Row, Left to Right:

Terese Cotton Dress now £45

Esmeralda Beach Kaftan now £27.50

Althea Lace Skirt now £39

Tresco Stripe Jumper now £32.50

Bottom Row, Left to Right:

Arabella Lace Top now £40

Cashmere Relaxed V Neck Sweater now £70

Freida Tan Lace Sandals now £31.80

Antibes Bikini Top now £17.50

I can highly recommend this Boden Bikini which I ordered last minute on a next day delivery to add to my suitcase..I ordered the next size up as I recently read this was the thing to do when ordering swimwear to reduce the amount of unnecessary bulges.  It seems to work...

I'll be back soon,

Wardrobe Basic - Summer Sandals

This is the first of many planned Summer Holiday Blog posts ;)  Don't hold your breath, but I will try to write some regular posts over the next 6 weeks whilst I'm off work with the children. 

Starting with Summer Sandals Inspiration from Pinterest...

Then onto pieces to shop for - all of these are from ASOS as they have 20% off quite a selection of Summer bits and pieces until 8am on Thursday July 27th.  First up black flat sandals as that's what I was browsing for before starting on  this post  (to fill a hole in my suitcase of course!)

Funfair Tie Leg Sandal £19.50
I love embellished sandals but not sure I can justify another pair, although these are a little different so I may be persuaded..

Leather Knot Sliders £17.50
Great with shorts or swimsuit around the pool.

Dakota PomPom Tie Up Sandal £35
I can not resist a pom pom or leg tie..

Pull & Bear Leather Stud Sandals £23.50
I think I've decided on these to fill my black sandal gap..

River Island Bow Sliders £32
How cute are these for pottering around the pool or apartment?!

New Look Black Studded Mule £22.99
More stud detail but in slip on style this time.

ASOS Leather Lace Up Sandal £16
Barely there for hot days and nights.

Straw Sliders £16
Also available in pink and multi

London Rebel Toepost Leather Sandals £20
Classic styling and in leather too!

Now some colour...

Glamorous Tie Up Sandal £25
A gorgeous shade of pink..

New Look Star Sandals £25.99
I spotted these a few weeks back and almost bought them (but didn't!) now nearly sold out - be quick!

Call It Spring Tassel Sandals £28
More tassels, tastefully done.

Joshua Leather Tie Leg Sandal £16
Love the black and gold contrast on these.

Falia Suede Tie Leg Sandal £16
A not too noticeable splash of colour with a cheeky tassel.

New Look Pink Velvet Tie Sandals now £8
I'm still disappointed that I missed out on the red velvet Mango sandals - these may be an alternative.  Also available in black

I'm off to search at the back of my wardrobe for any "forgotten" pairs of sandals for my holidays...

Back soon,

Sue

TopShop Picks Spring/Summer 2017

For this post I have enjoyed browsing all that TopShop has to offer us this Spring, and have come up with this selection for you, all of which I would gladly welcome into my wardrobe.

1.Stripe Shirt, £32 A great basic for wearing at home or away, with jeans or shorts, or on it's own over a bikini and a tan.

2. Swirl Drop Earrings, £7 Jazz up a plain tee and jeans combo or a dress with these edgy earrings. Remember bigger is better this season.

3. Poplin Tie Waist Playsuit, £39 This playsuit is perfect for warm Summer days (when your legs are already tanned). The navy presents a chic silhouette, off -set by the ruffled edges. Wear with sandals or trainers.

4. Ball Drop Earrings, £10 Perfect for work or play.

5.Stripe Off Shoulder Top, £32 This is on my wishlist to wear with blue jeans or the poplin trousers above. An easy to wear, slightly different take on the Bardot top, and the stripes keep it looking chic.

6.Flute Ruffle Poplin Top, £29 A perfect Summer top in lightweight fabric and chic colourway.

7. Kara Pointy Flat Mules, £42  I love the bow on these shoes and this colour is perfect with white, black, blue... I need these in my life!

8. Kick Softy Ballet Pumps, £35 I have these in my life!  They are soft and comfortable, highly recommended.

9. Gina V-cut Flare Block Heel, £56  These would inject a gorgeous pop of colour to any outfit, smart or casual, plain or patterned.

10. Pompom Drop Earrings, £12.50  Some cheeky, colourful fun for your earlobes.

11. Tulle Ruched Tee Tunic, £22  This would be great worn layered over a tee and blue jeans/shorts.

12. Stripe Ruffle Wrap Dress, £48  I have my eye on the very expensive Isabel Marant Etoile Delicia Dress which is somewhat out of my price range, so this would be a fab alternative.

13. Poplin Bow Trouser, £39 I've never really got on with chinos, but I'm prepared to give them another go with this pair.

I'll be back soon with my top Spring/Summer picks from Mango,

Leopard Love

The next key trend for Autumn/Winter 2016 on Highstreetedited is Leopard.  Leopard has cast off its "lady of the night" shady stigma and has now become an acceptable neutral in ladies' wardrobes for both work and play.  Mostly seen in accessories - you will see a lot of shoes and bags featured below - it has now made its way into our main outfit pieces, dresses, skirts, jumpers and coats, and boy does it look good.

Let's start with some style inspiration from Pinterest...

My Nod to Bella Freud

Not having the £££ to purchase a Bella Freud sweater such as this one,
