Blouse (£58) + Leggings (£82.50) by By Zoe

Last week I wrote about retailers that have upped their game recently and I would right now like to add Bon Prix and their clothing for women to the list.

It’s not somewhere I would have ever thought to look had it not been for blogging and seeing wishlists pop up left right and center over the last couple of weeks. I had to take a peek for myself and was impressed with what I saw. 

As always seems to be the case with me, it was the prices that seriously impressed. Nothing in my selection is over £30, and even that is for a pair of real leather sandals (that would be just perfect for my holiday). I’m mostly done with holiday shopping now but I wouldn’t mind adding those shoes, and that swimsuit for the days where I don’t feel like a bikini. Oh, and the chiffon skirt would be perfect for evening meals on the beach followed by a walk along the sand in search of a party (or most likely, ice cream).

Looking ahead to the new season it doesn’t get more fashion forward than this leather look tee; the perfect addition to my work wardrobe with potential for weekends too. I do like a good value multi-tasker and this is it.

Not quite fitting in to any season is the yellow skater skirt. It wouldn’t be a wishlist from me without my favourite style popping up now would it?

Have you checked out Bon Prix lately? I applaud them for branching out and appealing to a younger audience.

My holiday countdown has been going on for quite some time now (since it was booked in January if I’m honest)

Now there is only a month to go I’m realising how little swimwear and other holiday essentials I actually own. I’ve stocked up on some cheap bikinis but would also like something a bit more…high quality (no disrespect to the cheaper retailers). This has led to an awful lot of bikini browsing which has led to discovering Holiday Wardrobe a bit of a must visit if you’re going away any time soon (or just for a browse). Stocking a huge array of brands at really good prices, this site has everything you could need for a break in the sun (or rain) and more!

Anyway,

I allowed myself an indulgent moment to compile a little wishlist…

What do you think of my little wishlist? Are you planning a holiday in the sun, or have you already had one? Tell me holiday tales, please…feed my excitement for Spain!

It was actually my Mum who stumbled across this little gem of a shop- the Literary Emporium sells, as the name would suggest a wide array of gorgeous gifts for book worms and literature lovers.

I’ll let the owner, Rio take over here and tell you a little bit about the brand as I can never find words to do such places justice…

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?
