I had my eye on this dreamy & Other Stories jumper for a LONG time. At the original price of an eye watering £85 although I adored the style I was hesitant…until the jumper appeared in the sale for £56. Knowing how long I had yearned for this style I crumbled.

I thought the jumper style was so unique and classy. Having ordered the jumper in size M I was concerned the jumper would size-up small…how wrong could I be! & Other Stories sizing is stunning; the jumper has an oversized look, which looks incredibly classy. The alpaca blend material feels luxurious and has an expensive look. The grey and cream check is a great transitional colour-way; ideal for Winter into Spring.

This Zara cream cargo style mini-skirt and cream Mango chunky boots compliment the cream in the check jumper and give a young aesthetic to the outfit. If you’ve followed my blog for a while you will know I ADORE a pop of red. Here I accessorised with my red Coach belt, Topshop red saddle bag and Gucci red lip. Check Mate!

I’ve always dreamed of owning a delectable gown that I could pair with Autumn knits or Spring pieces. While staycationing in Wells earlier this year I spied this incredibly distinctive One Hundred Stars printed duster coat in a small boutique. I’d never heard of the brand, however many celebrities including Nigella are fellow fans. This delicate ‘Iris Grey Gown’ is a piece from One Hundred Stars collaboration with KEW Royal Botanic Gardens. As described on the website ‘the Gown is made from a custom blend of modal and viscose which creates a silky-smooth lightweight material while having a more sustainable impact on the environment.’ Not only did I purchase the gown from a local store, promoting supporting small businesses, the piece itself has sustainable features; two reasons why I adore the piece even more. It was an investment piece at £75; I think it is essential to build up a wardrobe of pieces that you will keep for life. A stunningly timeless piece with unique dusty pink, green and slate grey colouring. The elegant hang and silky feel of the material is everything you would desire in a designer piece. The block colour slate grey waist belt and collar brings the colours together effectively. Here I styled the gown over a Zara cream midi knit skirt, beige top, with my signature Mango fashion wellies. I cinched in the waist with my tan leather Zara belt for a more everyday look. I am totally in love with this design.
