High street lust #50.


Boho chic is one of those recurring trends this year and with that comes leather and fringe. I was never a fan of fringe but it's really grown on me, which is why I'm lusting after the fringed flap xbody bag (£55) from Warehouse. Looks like a useful bag for holidays, right?

Sticking with the summer boho theme, the bag would look great with the mixed jungle print maxi dress (£85), a pair of stud and whipstitch (£25) and two tone catseye sunglasses (£16). You could do something 'different' but totally expected and wear the dress with a leather biker jacket (£140) or you could wear a vintage western denim jacket (£45) instead. Of course you need to finish off the boho look with a bunch of jewellery such as a cluster and balls necklace (£14) and a whole load of bangles for £10 (this, this or this).

High street lust #36.


Warehouse isn't usually a place I'd shop but it surprised me by having quite a few stunning pieces this season. My favourite item is probably the soft prom dress (£70). I love the soft colours and the girlish style and fabric. I think it'd look great with leather gloves, a veiled fascinator and T-bar heels but Warehouse doesn't do those. Instead I opted for granny chic by adding a drape pocket sheer cardi (£40), a gorgeous lace knitted scarf (£30) and a simple handknit cable beret (£10).

The other piece that caught my eye was the frill collar blouse (£30). I'm just a sucker for frills! I also really like pegleg trousers such as the pinstripe washed trousers (£40). Combine with a pleat & frill underarm bag (£30) and a beaten metal irregular cuff bangle (£8) and you have a chic office outfit.

High street lust #23.


My faux fur obsession is heightening, especially because all the high streets have jumped on the trend. Therefore, it's no surprise that I love the feather jacket (£110) from Warehouse. Despite its name, it's not made up of feathers.

There are lots of lovely dresses on offer at the moment so it was hard to narrow it down to the animal jacquard dress (£75). Wear with marl ribbed tights (£10) and some sexy quilt & stud leather drivers gloves (£28). Accessorise for your Christmas party with a sequin clutch (£40), chain knot post drop earrings (£14) and studded / angular / box chain multi bangles (£14). Top off with a fascinator and some red lipstick and you'll look a million bucks.

(I also really want this faux fux collar (£25)!)

High street lust #9.


Am totally loving the cotton frill mac (£80) from Warehouse. The check pattern on it is forever chic and the fact it's cotton makes me think it must be super comfy!

Since I am working now, this week's lust focuses on workwear. I'd start off with the lace insert yoke top (£35) and pair it with a wrap tulip skirt (£40). Structured shoulders are so incredibly in for A/W 2009 (Balmainia!) so the ruched volume sleeve cardigan (£35) is a perfect addition.

Finish off with a slouchy moc croc bag (£35), a graphic jacquard peacock scarf (£18) and some graduated multi hoop earrings (£8) and you're good to go. For a splash of colour, add a 'mismatched' waistbelt like the clean asymmetric front belt (£22) or some crazy coloured tights, if your workplace allows it!
