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,

Sue xx

Trend Watch - Autumn/Winter '17 - Red


Marks and Spencer Trainers £29.50





One of the biggest trends for Autumn/Winter 17 is the colour red.

Red is not a great shade for me when it's worn next to my face but, never say never, and in the meantime I'll defintely be trying it out in accessories - shoes, bags, jewellery, embellishments..  

I recently dipped my toe into the trend with a bargain pair of red culottes which are really easy to wear with trainers and a tee (see post here), and a cut price pair of sandals which are great to wear with pale blue denim (see post here) whilst the temperatures are still a little warmer.

Don't forget lipstick and nail varnish too for a quick, more affordable nod to the trend - try this Bobbi Brown lipstick , one of my favourites, and the Chanel nail varnish in Gitane  Both have 10% off in Debenhams over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Let's press on with some inspiration - from Pinterest of course - where else?!


















And here are a few of my favourite red High Street finds to add a pop of colour to your day to day wardrobe.
