Mango Picks Summer '17

After a few weeks away from the Blog (real life taking over again!) I  am back with my favourite picks from Mango. 

I actually prepared this set about 3 weeks ago and,having reviewed it today before posting, to check the items were all still available, I realised that items stay in stock for longer than I sometimes think.  So perhaps it is not always necessary to press the "BUY" button straightaway as only 3 items from the original were sold out at the time of going to press. 
I've replaced those pieces with some equally tempting ones..

Green Leather Jacket, £139.99
Updated Chinos, £49.99
Embroidered Shirt, £39.99
Multiple Chains, £12.99
Yellow Hue, £99.99
Fluted Sleeves, £69.99
Scalloped Edges, £35.99
Raffia Bag, £89.99
Cotton Details, £35.99
Quilted Bag, now £17.99
Picture Shirt, £35.99
Knitted Linen, £59.99
Navy Florals, £89.99
Little Tan, £49.99
Red Velvet, £19.99
Quirky Earrings, £9.99
Chic Sunnies, £19.99
Yellow Suede, £39.99

Just be warned, when ordering from Mango online allow yourself at least a week to receive your goodies. Their clothes might be worth waiting for but you may have forgotten what your ordered by the time they arrive!

I'm hoping to be back within the next week with another spotlight on a favourite high street store.

See you then,

Leather and Cashmere

Sometimes I just need to wear something other than jeans and a chunky sweater to keep me warm on chilly days. So today I chose a different kind of outfit, which also gave me the opportunity to wear my newly purchased Dune Toulon leather knee high boots (which I can't seem to find online in leather at the time of writing but here's a link to the suede version), last year's faux leather culottes and a Marks and Spencer cashmere sweater.  I was cosy and comfortable all day long ,plus the navy and black combo is spot on. ( according to fashion editors ;))

Spinning Drop Earrings, Marks & Spencer, £7.50
Pure Cashmere Navy Sweater, Marks & Spencer, £75
Episode Faux Leather Culottes, House of Fraser, £39.50 (on sale)
Linea Knee High Boots, House of Fraser, £95 (on sale)

These boots will be very useful over the next few months.  I plan to wear them with my lace culottes, skirts and dresses too.  They are a true wardrobe essential which will breathe life into my existing pieces. Cost per wear will be into the pennies by Spring!

Ruffles and Frills

Highstreetedited is back after a couple of weeks' break with a look at the trend of Ruffles and Frills which is one of the top trends of Autumn/Winter 2016.

Let's begin with some inspiration:

Luxe Leather Jackets at Bargain Prices

Have you visited Jaeger Outlet recently... or ever come to that?  It's well worth popping over there from time to time as they have great high quality pieces at bargain prices, plus from time to time they have flash sales making their prices even lower.  Have I explained that well.. I'm not so sure. Anyway today (Monday 7th March) until midnight there is an extra 20% off some of their pieces.
