This week's haul...

I wondered why I had no money left this week! I was up in London for work so I got enticed by beautiful new season drops in Topshop, Reiss and of course Whistles.

Knitted stripe cocoon jumper - £40 - Topshop. I've put a similar jumper in the link, as I can't find mine online. Reminds me of the knitwear Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant sent down the catwalks.

Mabel woven harems - £95 - Whistles. Already posted an outfit based around these gorgeous harems. They are THE colour of the season.

Short sleeve tab shirt - £38 - Topshop. A little obsessed with military style silky shirts, I love the details. This is a great silk alternative and a perfect mustard colour. Just saw Florence Welch wearing it - not sure how this makes me feel.

Maxi pleated jersey skirt - £79 - Reiss. Perfect, long, dark khaki jersey maxi. Boyfriend hates it, I love it for a Marc Jacobs look, with military boots and cable knit jumpers.

Petra Eyelet Dress - £150 - Whistles. Needed a new dress for meeting with the regionals this week. Apparently everyone who's everyone in the business is wearing the Petra. Just as amazing with gladiators as it is with tights and boots.

Tie Dye For

The minute I saw Australian model Jessica Hart in this tie dye maxi, I knew I had to find a way to replicate it. The DMs and bowler hat couldn't be less me, but the dress I love love love. So I set out on my maxi mission, and stumbled across this gem, hidden behind some black and striped numbers in New Look. Of course the colour isn't right, but I prefer the slightly more subtle blue and cream. And all for only £22. Perfect.

Primark, you have outdone yourself

There were some unexpected treats to be found in Primark this week. £11 will buy the amazing striped jersey maxi, a dead ringer for a £120 Acne dress. Exactly what I was after, but about three inches too short. Shame. What I did splash on though were these buckled boots for £15. Every retailer from Primark to Topshop to ASOS have done copies of these Opening Ceremony £325 buckle boots, but none I could find were quite right. These beauts fit the bill though, and were such a bargain.

TOPSHOP drop

I rarely try things on in Topshop. My native store is so small and hot, if I buy anything I just take it home and then almost certainly return it a few days later. But today I couldn't resist these leopard print jeans, which I'd team with black super wedges, and a loose black silky tee. I've been eyeing up these cheapo jersey maxis too, but wasn't sure about the midi length, what do you think? They come in such great colours, I took this burnt orange one home with me.
