Summer is almost over and autumn is fast approaching, which means I find new season catalogues from my favourite stores landing on my coffee table.
Baukjen is my new on-line/catalogue fave. You may know her styles better as the doyenne of maternity wear, Isabella Oliver. Baukjen is the designer’s name and the re-launch of her womenswear label. The pieces have a designer look and feel, with a high end highstreet price tag. For hard working dresses this has to be your first stop, and I love love love this knitted number. Short enough for late summer with heels and thick enough for autumn with tights and boots. This merino mix shift dress is a sound investment.
So, I know there is a Sweaty Betty shop at the end of my road – they are prolific in west London- but for some reason I always get more of a kick out of their catalogue. I will leave you to pore over their sports bras and running shorts alone, but I have to highlight their new yoga one piece. This gorgeous piece of work-out wear is fabulously versatile. Yes, it will make you the most stylish gal at Bikram, but wear with some converse and a denim shirt and you have got a seriously style-savvy dressed down look.
Wish list at the ready girls, it is time to open your fashion textbook!
