Again, this post almost didn’t happen this week- I don’t know where time is vanishing to but I wish it would slow down a bit.
However, despite being incredibly busy I’ve still found time to do a little bit of browsing and I am finally getting chance to pull it together in to a rather Autumnal feeling wish list.

There has been a distinct chill in the air this week, hence the two coats featuring in this post. I know I’d never have the balls to pull off the puffer jacket in real life but I am drawn to how happy and bright it would make even the greyest of mornings [although wet walks to work will be a thing of the past now I’ve bought a car!].
I’m obsessed with all things cord so I’m also seriously drawn to the cord jacket too- both from one of my favourite online haunts, Thunder Egg.

Another solid favourite online haunt lately has been & Other Stories, who fell off my radar for a bit until I heard they are opening a store in Bristol very soon. I fell completely in love with the brand last time I was in Spain and right now, if I were rich, I’d be buying one of almost everything in their current collection.

The hoop earrings and trousers are somewhat more random additions, but both managed to grab my attention on my regular browsing sessions. Miss Selfridge are currently having a 30% off weekend making the trousers a very tempting prospect, but having just bought my first car today I really need to reign my spending in!

What’s caught your eye this week?

Wow, only a week in to my new “regular feature” and I almost forget to write a post- fail! In my defence, this has been a crazy week- and I’m pleased to announce that after 14 long years I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST! First time in to this round of lessons [after a 5 year break] and with only 2 minors.

Needless to say I’ve been a little bit distracted this week, and whilst most of my online browsing has been for cars, and car related things I have still managed to find a few little gems that I would love to be buying.

It was obvious that the Hello Kitty Converse collection was going to win me over, and as well as the pair I’ve featured above I am also seriously tempted by these suede ones from Office. I’m having to fight myself hard not to make an impulse purchase; it wasn’t that long ago I bought my Hello Kitty Pumas and with the reality of a car to run AND a house move coming up I really need to resist.

I’m so happy to see florals everywhere again this season- my love for them is well documented and I think at some point the Monki dress might be added to my wardrobe. It’s definitely a more practical purchase than another pair of trainers, and thanks to a slightly more relaxed dress code at work, will also be perfect for the office. As would the star print shirt dress from Joanie Clothing, I’m really in to shirt dresses at the moment and this one attracted me the second I saw it.

Other items on the list this week are the Topshop floral skirt, which I shall resist because I’m sure everyone and their dog already own it. It doesn’t stop me coveting it hard though….

And finally we have this great enamel pin from La La Land – one of my favourite independent stores online. I have lost count of the times I mutter these words at work, and having it in pin form would save a lot of wasted energy.

What’s made it on to your wish list this week?

Well, I think this might be some kind of record for absence of blogging for me. To say life has been a bit chaotic lately would be a complete understatement, but things are calming down now (I hope) and I’m finally getting some time and space to think about content again.

I’ve done a bit of shopping lately so I may well have some outfit posts on the horizon, but in the mean time, inspired by the current sunny weather and climbing temperatures, today I bring you a wish list from one of my top high street brands and one that has featured on the blog many times in the past- Quiz Clothing.

This wish list comes with the exciting news that Quiz have just expanded in to the USA following a successful expansion in to Spain- this means that more of you lovely lot will be able to shop their great pieces which currently includes a stunning selection of maxi dresses, jump suits, summer dresses and all of the occasion wear you could ever dream of.

Right now it’s clear I’ve got summer, and holiday dressing on the brain. I’m eagerly counting down the days until I fly out to Portugal with Bob and I’ve finally ditched my winter wardrobe in favour of my summer one. It’s shown a serious lack of warm weather clothing actually, I’ve pretty much grown out of everything I own, which means there are probably plenty more wish list posts coming up as I am spending an obscene proportion of any down time I get scouring my online favourites for new pieces.

USA readers, what other UK brands would like to see make it on to your shores? Every one else, what do you think of my picks?
