MOST WANTED - Wallet with Gift Bow

Maison Martin Margiela Wallet with Bow - Browns Fashion - £220

Imagine the delight of opening your bag to this gift bow wallet every day. I love the original detail and only wish I could afford it. I would have preferred a colour with a bit more excitement, but there is no denying this is a little treat. Of course, it is 100% leather, and I think that being well used would only add to its charm.

MOST WANTED - Corioliss Hairdryer

Corioliss Professional 1800 Watt Hairdryer - ASOS - £60

I have thick hair, which is a nightmare to dry. I need a hairdryer like this one, ultra powerful, yet quiet and lightweight. Throw in the funky animal print and you have a product for any girl's wish list. I may spend a lot of money on hair straighteners, but I just can't quite justify shelling out for a hairdryer, so here is a gentle hint... if you are stuck for a birthday pressie for me, this will do the trick!

MOST WANTED - Karen Millen Dress

Karen Millen Satin Bow Dress - ASOS - £180

If I had to choose a free wardrobe from any store it would be Karen Millen. All the designs seem to be classic, timeless but also, always bang on trend. This dress for example hits 6 of them, satin, jewel hued, pleated, fishtail, puffball and bows. Phew! Wear this little number to a wedding this summer and you will be sure to upstage the bride!


It is great news that ASOS are now stocking a bigger Karen Millen range, making the most desirable of outfits even more accessible to us, the mere masses.

See more Karen Millen at ASOS...

MOST WANTED - Thomas Sabo Charm Bracelet

Charm bracelets seem to drift in and out of fashion, but when you find one that is of superb quality you know it will last the test of time. Isis Jewellers have a selection of charm bracelets from Thomas Sabo, to suit most tastes. This is the grown up and oh so glamourous kind of charm bracelet. I would opt for the heavyweight bracelet and have chosen a few of my favourite charms below...

Heavyweight Bracelet - £39.95

MOST WANTED - Eiffel Tower Bag


Carrie Bradshaw is seen with this bag in the new Sex and the City movie, so of course everyone now wants one. The bag is by Timmy Woods in Beverly Hills and can be yours for $450. The ultimate cute and quirky accessory, you would have to agree that this little taste of Paris would not look out of place on the arms of the A list. If you ever get fed up of it, it would make a pretty good ornament!


Or how about the Swarovski encrusted version, at a mighty $3000. With over 6000 crystals this is a showpiece that is sure to stop traffic or at the very least, make you the envy of every woman around you.

MOST WANTED - Tiered Hem Dress

Zac Posen Iconic Tiered Hem Dress - NET A PORTER - £1360

This dress is body con at its coolest. The twist on the tiered look is really inventive with the cut out holes showing a little extra leg. This vibrant colour is perfect for summer, wear it with a cropped jacket and metallic accessories for smart and stylish wedding wear. Just avoid a big meal in this one as it really is skin tight!

MOST WANTED - Michael Kors Scarf


This is more than I could stomach to spend on a scarf. But if money were no object I would snap it up. It is very 'global traveller', a trend that is hot on the catwalk and red carpets. Tie dye hippy with a bit more class is what would call it, plus celebs have been wearing orange at every opportunity lately.



Available from Net-A-Porter.

MOST WANTED - Angel Wing Mirrors

Mirrored Angel Wings - Graham and Green - £169

What could be more heavenly than mirrors in the shape of angel wings. These are extremely girly and indulgent but oh so pretty. I will admit that they are not the most practical for checking your outfit, but who cares when they look this good.

MOST WANTED - Ikea Kvarno Sunbed


These sunbeds are perfect for the garden and although I may be a little optimistic in my summer preparation (it is only April after all) I just can't help but want them. The contemporary wood/metal finish is sleek and minimal and will give those neighbours green eyes. I am imagining a cocktail or two in summer sunshine, lounging and relaxing with a good book. With the way the weather has been the last couple of summers, that may well be just a dream, but they are so pretty I could be happy just admiring them. I think it is time for a trip to Ikea...

MOST WANTED - Amaury Trench Jacket


If there is one thing we should all have in our wardrobes right now, it is a good trench coat. Perfect for April showers, but light enough to see you through the spring and into summertime.


This Diane Von Furstenberg Trench is out of my price range but gorgeous none the less. The details are perfect and the length just right. It also has full sleeves which is refreshing, so many spring macs and trench coats have 3/4 sleeves which just looks plain silly with a long sleeve top underneath. I like the metallic sheen as this really modernises a classic wardrobe staple.

MOST WANTED - Guess Watch

Guess Prism Multi Dial Crystal Watch - ASOS - £129

I am loving the turquoise leather strap on this watch. It reminds me of tropical seas and summertime. Women's watches have become chunkier of late but this one also has a feminine twist, with the pretty colour and crystal detail. I don't know many women who can resist a bit of sparkle...

MOST WANTED - Beige Pleated Dress





This dress is Grecian goddess meets Hollywood glamour and hits 2 current trends, belted and pleated. I think dresses that make the most of the waist will always look feminine and pretty and this dress is no exception. I would team it with a pair of black patent heels and smoky eyes, simple but stunning! Shame about the price tag...

MOST WANTED - Kurt Geiger Shoes

I just couldn't choose which pair of shoes to feature this week. I tried and tried but in the end just decided to give in and have both. I am a woman after all, and we are notorious for our love of shoes. Kurt Geiger stocks big brands and is a respected name in its own right. The latest season has some stunning shoes and I am especially loving these ones below.


KG - Halle - £95

I am a fan of chunky wooden heels, which makes 'Halle' just my cup of tea. Not to mention the fact that Gladiator sandals will be big news for summer. The vibrant tan colour of these shoes is much more interesting than bland brown.
French Connection - JoJo - £85

As for 'JoJo', grey can be a great alternative for black and the chunky buckle is a really nice detail. These towering heels will make legs look super long which is good news for people like me, being only 5'2''.

MOST WANTED - GHD Glamour Gift Box

GHD's are still my hair straighteners of choice. They work quickly and effortlessly to provide a great finish every time. The styling products also work really well, particularly the Heat Protection Spray which we all know is a must to keep hair in good condition. This set was bound to appeal to me...



The good news is that for 3 days ASOS is offering 20% off this product, and many more from their Valentines range. Check out the website for more info.

MOST WANTED - Myla Lingerie


With Valentines Day just around the corner, what better reason is there to treat yourself to some gorgeous new underwear. I am pretty much in love with the Suki range by Myla, which is part of their new collection. The sheer material, and the bows make it perfectly on trend too. There is even free delivery available if you order before 11th Feb. If it were me I would choose the set below...

MOST WANTED - Alexander McQueen Peep Toe

Alexander McQueen Two Tone Stripe Peep Toe - Browns - £380

These towering heels by Alexander McQueen would look so stylish with a long black pencil skirt and chiffon blouse. The sexy secretary get up has never looked so good with these little babies to adorn your feet. Opt for some black nail varnish to vamp it up and look even cooler. I must say, I don't think I would last long in the office in these heels, but for a Valentines dinner they would be just perfect.

MOST WANTED - Clarence Pendent



I have always had a bit of an obsession with grand light fittings, perhaps because my ceilings have always been to low to accommodate them. This Large Clarence Clear Pendent would be a dream for me, it's just beautiful. For something so pretty, it is also pretty practical being made from clear acrylic rather than glass. It takes 6 screw in candle bulbs, none of this halogen business where they run out within a couple of weeks.

Check out the Heals website for lots more treasures for your home. There is a sale on too... music to my ears!

MOST WANTED - DVF Tunic Top



This gorgeous top from the new DVF collection is a must have (or must find a cheaper version). The fabric looks really luxurious and the sash tie will pull the fabric in beautifully at the waist. Navy is a great alternative to black if that feels a bit boring. The other items in the collection are worth a look too with lovely wrap dresses and vintage prints. Check out the website.

MOST WANTED - Burburry Hemingway Trench


The colour of this coat is amazing. A Bright blue mikado silk blend, double breasted trench coat. It has long sleeves with buckles at the cuffs and on the waist belt, and epaulettes on the shoulders. There is no other coat quite like it in stores at the moment, certainly none which have quite the impact and detailing that this one does. It is available at NET-A-PORTER, but alas it is more than my budget will allow.

MOST WANTED - Pistachio Bracelet


Black Linked Hearts Bracelet - Pistachio - £231.95

I love this chunky bracelet from jewellery store www.pistachio.co.uk Chunky hearts filled with resin, set in solid silver make this a different but gorgeous piece of contemporary jewellery. It is pretty enough to wear with a little black dress, yet chunky and edgy making it ideal for everyday. Team with some black nail varnish to vamp it up. Let's hope santa puts one in my stocking!

Check out the Pistachio website for matching items and some other great modern pieces.
