Vive le TopShop! These super chic pieces will be wardrobe favourites for years to come – trust me. The cream and black t-shirt looks best in a smaller size…I’m normally a 10 and I bought a 6. The Eiffel Tower casual brushed cotton jumper is fitted and super elegant in grey and navy stripes.
Top Shop Eiffel Tower fitted cotton jumper £38
Top Shop black and cream stripe cotton tee £18
This soft grey long sleeved “Love” t-shirt dress is great in bed. It could also double as a cover-up on the beach. New Look had other ideas – it comes with shoulder pads which I cut off . It’s a snip at £25 so catch it before it goes.
Soft grey cotton LOVE nightdress £25 from New Look
Siwy skinny ankle-skimming jeans £190
Siwy… try them and you’ll want to buy them. I have nothing else to add on this matter.
Sienna Miller's Twenty8Twelve charcoal angora-mix jumper dress £150
Close-up of collar detail and angora-mix fabric texture
Jumper dresses have periodically been back in fashion but unlike many other returning trends they seem to always hark back to their origination and come in lumpy woolen knit styles in neon colours …like the hideous Alexander McQueen version http://www.my-wardrobe.com/mcq-alexander-mcqueen/pink-oversized-chunky-jumper-dress-by-mcq-alexander-mcqueen. Mystylecrush invites you to follow the jumper dress trend with contemporary integrity and opt for this charcoal grey number from Sienna Miller’s label Twenty8Twelve http. It fits like a glove and is lined which means no lumpy bits in sight – hoorah!http://www.coggles.com/store/item/Twenty8Twelve/83521
£8 Primark black patent pumps with twisted gold braid detail
£6 Primark black and white quilted pumps with chanel-style chain detail
£8 Primark soft grey pumps with twisted rose gold braid detail
Primark has done it again and delivered working girls all around the UK with the perfect posh pumps with “00′s” knocked off the price tag. The black patents are perfect with fitted dresses and block colour 60 plus dernier tights and the chanel -style pumps will do you proud with jeans at a weekend lunch date. My vote is with this perennially stylish soft grey pair which complement the mid-season 2010 Spring/Summer colour palette beautifully.
Washed-out mauve cotton sweatpants by Freddy Dance Academy £45.00
La Scala marine green velour sweat top from Freddy Dance Academy £62.50
La Scala sweat top : close-up on design detail
I’ve been looking for some crush worthy “home clothes” to lounge in and there’s loads of options in the cheap ‘n ‘cheerful camp (which look tatty after a couple of washes) and great options from the luxe camp from Zadig & Voltaire and Juicy….but they all felt a little bit “done”. So when I stumbled upon Freddy Dance Acadamy – a cool Italian brand (Neal Street in Covent Gardent) which makes you wish you had been at a FAME-style school more than ever – I was elated. There were some pieces that were more suited to a dancer’s body but there were also a lot of cool clothes. Take this gorgeous ” La Scala” marine green sweat top…looks GREAT with jeans and converse or vans at the weekend. And if you really want to live out teenage FAME fantasies, team this up with mauve cotton sweat pants for a sexy “off duty dancer look” : )
Moccasin style luxurious fur- lined slippers The White Company £25
A beautiful summer’s day in London doesn’t feel like the most obvious day to share a “staying in” style crush but these finds are just too good! First up we have The White Company’s moccasin-style furry lined slippers..perfect as the nights draw in and the weather cools. They also come in a dusky mauve and were my perfect companions (along with cream cashmere socks also from The White Company £25) when staying at a friend’s beautiful Irish getaway last weekend.
22ct gold-plated small feather necklace, Alex Monroe £102
This gorgeous small feather necklace from Alex Monroe will make every girl want to strut their stuff at work or at play. This delicate piece feels as light as a feather on the skin whilst also making a strong style statement. The necklace is first crafted in silver and then coated in 22ct gold and the designs are stocked in Liberty’s, select boutiques and via the website at www.alexmonroe.com. Be warned …once you try, you’ll want to buy!
Leopard print t-shirt H&M £14.99
…I think I love you: more specifically this leopard-print long soft cotton t-shirt . It’s £14.99 at H& M and I’d suggest you get a size smaller than you’d normally go for. Slip it on over black leggings, with a skinny belt and black patent cork platforms for a slinky urban look.
Purple suede belt with gold panther design £20 TopShop
Funk up the jeans, blazer and a white t-shirt look with this too cool for school electric purple suede belt with gold panther design. It’s a £20 Top Shop find and it’s worth snapping up now as a directional piece that will see you through autumn/winter 09.
