Designer & Desirable

02nd July 2013
In your Pocket dress, £70

Eclipse dress, £95

Firehouse playsuit, £95

I am generally quite fickle when it comes to brands and designers, liking only one piece per collection/season but whilst browsing Designer Desirables last night (as you do on a sunny Monday evening) I found myself drawn to multiple pieces by Finders Keepers. I’ve featured my top three pieces above but there is also a gorgeous mini skirt and some fabulous crop tops that I have my eye on…
The entire website is worth a browse to be honest, it’s been on my radar for a while; stacked full of celebrity favoured brands to suit all tastes and budgets. There are some well known labels on there as well as some lesser known ones that are a little harder to come by, I’m quite taken with this bag by Anna Smith which costs a mere £34 and would be fantastic for summer days and nights (it comes in four colours in total in case pink isn’t your thing)

My first purchase from the site was a few years ago now and cost me what felt like a fortune now but actually wasn’t. It was a t-shirt with a quirky design on that I’ve never seen elsewhere…that’s the kind of thing I like when I shop, something you’re not going to see on 1000 other people walking down a street and that’s why I can feel my fingers itching to click “purchase” on a few more items in the near future. I’ll admit the site slipped off my radar for a little while but it’s now firmly back on there with good reason.
Have you shopped with Designer Desirables before? If you’ve had a little browse then what has caught your eye?

summer days

01st July 2013

Shoes: Ted Baker c/o Sarenza
Dress: New Look (last year)
We’ve had a few good days over the last week and I’ve embraced each one by wearing something summery. I bought this dress a year ago and have only really worn it once or twice, I really like how floaty and girly it is so I think I’ll make it a fairly regular outfit choice.
These shoes are a pair I featured on one of my shoe wishlists (frequent as they are) and when I saw they had gone in to the sale at Sarenza I knew I needed them.
Well, it’s Monday again and back to the working week…the time is flying these days and the weekends roll round faster and faster.
This weekend was spent relaxing at the boy’s new place- Saturday was utterly divine weather wise and we spent a couple of hours lazing in the sun in a nearby (like, just over the road) park. You wouldn’t know you’re near the city center when you’re there…bliss.
Sunday would have been (still is) my Nan’s birthday and myself and my family made a trip down to Sidmouth where we scattered her ashes last year. It’s bittersweet going there, but comforting to be close to her. I know she’d be proud of all that has happened in the past twelve months for all of my family and although I’m not a great believer is this kind of thing, it’s hard not to believe that she’s acting as a guardian angel.
How was your weekend?
