Sales Edit and inspiration on how to style each piece..but hurry things go fast...

12.28.2016

Style Theory: This time of year you can pick up some real bargains, things that you have looked at for a while and will see you into the next season. It is worth investing in some key pieces that have longevity but I also do love to throw in a little frivolous bargain too.

Here is my edit of the items on my sale shopping list, but do be quick things get snapped up fast...
Mango was £39.99 now £19.99

So chic, understated and very designer-esque, this bag has been on my radar for a while. It is a leather mix and looks so much more expensive that it's £19.99 price tag. Wear wit a black shirt, jeans and trainers for a cool, elegant look.

Mango was £35.99 now £25.99

One of those super useful sweaters, can be worn with any colour jeans, perfect tucked into pleated midid skirts of pair with a tulle skirt for a stunning look.

Mango Cashmere sweater was £119 now £79.99

This V neck cashmere sweater (seen here worn with a scarf) is the perfect throw on chic knitwear. Now is, without a doubt, the time to invest in cashmere, it is reduced and will take you through the coldest winter months to the Spring and summer, perfect to throw over a pair of shorts on cooler summer evenings or to wear on the plane on holiday with white skinny ankle length jeans and white supergas.

Mango was £69.99 now £49.99

This coat has a distinct Missoni look about it, the colours are very 2017 and it would look fab over a white tee, blue jeans and trainers.

Philip Lim was £690 now £414

This SS17 is all about trenches with an interesting twist and this one fits the bill perfectly, you will be one step ahead if you snap this one up.

J Brand Selena was £225 now £158

My fave jeans ever, I have this style in both blue and black and wear them non stop. They look great if you are not super tall as they are perfectly cropped, keep their shape and look just as good with trainers as with heels. The pockets on the bottom are flattering and they do not bag, love love. Size at least one size down as they do come up big!

Chinti and Parker was £325 now £228

This is the kind of sweater you can wear every day, dressed up or dressed down. Super soft and luxurious a real treat.

Boden Cashmere was £110 now £83.30

I have a thing for forest green at the moment, it is such a gentle flattering colour and looks so chic on with pale blue jeans and navy loafers, unfussy and stylish..

Isabel Marant was £290 now £174

I bought these (full price) a few seasons ago but these suede versions are a much better price and the style still completely and utterly catches my eye.

The perfect nude shoe in this seasons shape, to wear with everything..

Me+Em was £118 now £59

If you haven't every tried on a pair of me+em trousers I urge you to they are unbelievably flattering, so well cut and made of the best quality fabric, I love love them

I could go on and on, this is my first sales edit but I will be back with more. There are so many bargains about and the key looks above will not date, so they are worth investing in.

I have so many ideas for Spring Summer 2017, there are the most fabulous trends coming in, I will start 2017 with a round up of all the catwalk trends and how they will be relevant to you and I.

Cherry Picking

6.25.2016



Blouse - Marc by Marc Jacobs @Very Exclusive UK now £172
Jeans - Zara £17.99 (sale)
Shoes - Zara (sold out)
Bag - Spain - love this one
Bandana (in hair) - Topshop
Style Theory: Victoriana and cherries...yes please! Love this Marc by Marc Jacobs top from Very Exclusive uk, it is beautifully made with intricate lace and amazing puff sleeves, fits like a dream and will be worn non-stop by me this summer, Autumn and winter. Red is becoming my new pink....

A few extra items I have my eye on that I am hoping will complete my summer wardrobe...
Isabel Marant Etoile @Matches now £117
I have this in the dress version in black and it looks fab on, frilly and frivolous. I think this white tops would be fail safe, look amazing with jeans or denim shorts or the denim skirt below. A real beautiful item to own.
Urban Outfitters Vintage Re-Made Levis mini skirt £40
So it seems as with all things 90s it is time to ditch the denim shorts and get back with the old Levis mini skirt (I used to live in mine back in the day!)I think I will buy this mainly for holiday wear as a denim skirt is so useful to wear to go the beach and as where we go is fairly casual in the evening, it would look great with a pretty white top and flip flops. 
Mango Jumpsuit £17.99
I have ordered this after seeing on the very cool A Mother's Edit, not sure how it will look on me but I love the idea of this, I will let you know!
Mango Sandals now £17.99
Think I may 'need' these Chloe dupes - they look fab on and are very this season, the only problem is I am not sure if I will be mad on them next year?! They look incredibly chic and cool, if they are still in Mango next time I am in town they will be mine!

Obviously there is swimwear to add for my holiday, I will let you know my favourite pieces next week. Hopefully there will be some sun but for now jeans and cherry tops are where it is at for me. What have you bought for summer so far this year, any good sale buys? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time Fran xxx

The Sales Edit

Style Theory: The sales are on and there are some amazing bargains to be had. Look for classic pieces to use as building blocks for your wardrobe and add a few less expensive trend led styles for a little fashion twist, ready set..go..

Here is my edit of the best of the High Street sales:
Whistles Masie Waisted Jumpsuit was £120 now £60
A jumpsuit is a now regarded as a capsule wardrobe item. They are endlessly useful, wear this jumpsuit now with wedge espadrilles and in the winter wear with an blouse underneath and heeled pointed court shoes.
&Other Stories Scuba Denim dress was £95 now £47
Scuba is definitely a 'trend' fabric but the cut and colour of the dress is quite classic. Scuba is incredibly forgiving, it skims over lumps and bumps and look pretty spectacular on. A perfect dress for an evening out with flat tan strappy sandals and a tan bag.
See by Chloe @Asos was £240 now £168
A little pricey but this playsuit caught my eye, so cute, gorgeous colours and perfect for holiday..I am sooo tempted to buy this one, I always like to have one stand out piece in my holiday wardrobe and I think this may be it..
&Other Stories Nautical Sweater was £39 now £19
You cannot beat a breton especially when it is half price. This sweater would look great paired with denim cut off shorts and tan strappy sandals in the summer, in the winter pair with skinny flares and a pair of heels.
Zara Embroidered Tunic was £35.99 now £25.99
A classic beachwear item, sling over your bikini or swimsuit for a stylish stroll down to the beach.
Topshop Sheer Pom Pom Top now £25
Zara Embroidered Top was £29.99 now £15.99
It is always good to have a couple of black tops on holiday, they look fabulous against sunkissed skin and can be worn with denim shorts, patterned skirts or trousers, or rock a sleek all black look with black skinny trousers and black strappy sandals.
Asos House Of Harlow Top now £30
Crochet is such a key look this season, this top is beautiful and girly, toughen it up with denim cut off shorts and strappy tan sandals.
Mango Striped Shirt now £20
A cool classic shirt is a hardworking piece in your wardrobe, looks great with chinos, denim shorts or tucked into a fitted short skirt.
Gant Rugger Shirt Skirt was £85 now £42
A trend led piece, this skirt will add a fashion edge to your wardrobe, wear with a white vest top or a shirt as in the image.
Free People @Asos was £128 now £70
The white dress is now as important as the black dress and this floaty dress will be fabulously cool and stylish on a summer day.

There you have a few of the summer items that are on my shopping list, the sales are looking good this year and seem to come earlier each season! Have you bought much in the sales, what is your best buy so far? Would love to hear any ideas, I am off on holiday in a few weeks and have realised my summer wardrobe is looking a little sparse!
