In the spirit of introducing yet MORE new blood to The Wardrobe Update I’ve roped my Miss York runner-up best friend Kate into picking this week’s best buys, and seeing as it’s summer sale season, this week’s Wishlist Wednesday is bargain-based! Kate has scoped the high street and the net for the best buys to help you beat those rainy day blues.
Read on..
First up, my favourite fashion temple of all time: ASOS. The sale comprises several brands as well as ASOS’ own goodies – there is simply too much to choose from! At up to 70% off and an extra 10% discount upon checkout (this week only) you need to get scrolling! I love these graphic print jeans by Religion – dress them up with fierce black platforms and this bondage-esque, leather-look bra top by Goldie for a sexy-cool evening look.
This silver biker jacket is only for the fashion-brave but looks awesome if worn right. Make sure you keep glitzy accessories to a minimum and add a distressed tee and dark shorts or leggings to balance the space-factor!
If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know fashion veteran Frances loves our local Coggles store. The Coggles sale can be caught online and there are some epic pieces! Guys: dare to wear this low scoop neck tee by Delusion … it’s summer after all and us girls love to see a bit of chest on our men (especially if you’re rocking some tats). Cheap as chips and still available in all sizes – get clicking!
If you want a quirky little bag that is big enough to fit your essentials, can be taken from day to night and is a guaranteed to get you loads of coveting glances go for this little beaut by Lulu Guinness. Composed of embroidered canvas with leather detailing and a detachable shoulder strap, this little luxury is extra versatile. Another Coggles triumph: half price at £125, the Box Brownie camera bag is a snap (pardon the pun)!
Last little treat for all you rockabilly ladies… get your tootsies into these nautical, chunky-heeled T-bars by Iron Fist: a statement steal at £49.99. (schuh.co.uk)
I just love a good skull or two.
Those trousers are questionable.
