wednesday wishes 15

1, 3, 4 - Topshop, 2 - Asos

1. Every year I get a kind of cosy-item fetish. Last year it was for a thick knit, black cardigan, which I finally found in Topshop Boutique. This year I'm longing for a grey, slouchy sweater. This one from Topshop really looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for. I want to try it on just to make sure it slouches in all the right places, and it must also have knuckle length sleeves. Bizarre criteria, I know.

2. There's a little hurricane of frenzy whipping up the blogosphere at the moment for handbags in the style of my little vintage favourite. I'm gutted because I get so many compliments on my bag and rarely see similar styles around, so I very, very selfishly don't want them to become popular. Some similar-ish bags have been cropping up on the highstreet and this one from Asos is my favourite. I love its patent finish and the reddish-brown colouring.

3. Last week I featured the Jil Sander, hot pink maxi skirt in Wednesday Wishes. Following bright skirted suit, this week the spotlight is on this purple lovely from Topshop. I'm dying for the highstreet to produce a Jil Sander inspired maxi skirt, and I really hope they're in the pipeline for summer. For now, this short style can ease you into the colour block trend of next season.

4. I've told you a few times over the months that I'm a trouser-phobe, and that I only have one pair of jeans in my wardrobe, which really should be in the recycling bin. I'm currently fawning over cropped, black styles (think Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction) paired with stylish flats. These jeans from Topshop are 'super-soft', so I hope that means they'll avoid the crunchy stage that jeans get after washing. I'm dying to try them out as I haven't bought new jeans in years!

Happy Wednesday!
