Baukjen Top Picks + A Discount Code + WIWT - Keeping It Simple

Morning ladies it's discount time again over at Baukjen with 15% off plus free delivery on all orders over £59, just click here & use code CHIC217 at checkout.  So today seemed like the perfect time to share with you my top picks for the coming season.

As with other brands that I favour such as J Crew, Baukjen really do offer timeless classics that are not only made to a high standard but have the edge on other brands for garments that are going to stand the test of time & last you a lifetime.  Not only are they wardrobe staples, you'll find them to be pieces that can so easily be dressed up or down, offering you great flexibility in terms of cost per wear plus there's some great ideas for work staples too.

I've put together my picks from their latest drop above & as always just click on an individual item for further details.  You won't be surprised to hear that I could easily click the button on everything but I'm extremely tempted by this, this & these.

Back to today & it's a quiet & lazy kind of Sunday, which calls for a nice & simple sweatshirt & jeans combo.  With perhaps the odd sip of bubbles to go with the slogan.  Well it would be rude not to surely?! ;-)

Mother's Day Inspiration + A Sneaky Purchase + WIWT - Tailored Classics

Morning ladies & happy Saturday :-)  Before I share what I'm wearing today I thought seeing as Mother's Day is only 2 weeks away I'd put together some gift inspiration, which will hopefully help for anyone struggling on deciding what to buy their mother's & also something you can perhaps point your other half to if they're needing a nudge in the right direction ;-)  Hubby if you're reading feel free to click away ;-)

Also I wanted to let you know about this stunning embroidered one shoulder top that I 'clicked the button' on earlier in the week & have just taken delivery of - love, love, love.  I can't wait for the weather to warm up enough to wear this beauty it really is stunning & such a good price :-)

20% Off At French Connection + My Top Picks + WIWT - Knitwear, Lace & Denim

Morning ladies & happy Thursday :-)  There's so many discount codes around at the moment that I thought I'd share with you my top picks from French Connection today as with 20% off it's not a discount to be sniffed at & they have some stunning pieces for the coming season.

As always just click on the individual images for further details & use the arrows to scroll through & most importantly don't forget to use code MARCH20 to grab your discount.

I've also got a couple of fab bretons to share with you, which are a cross between a breton & sweatshirt in terms of thickness  with ¾ sleeves, which I received in the post yesterday.  I have to say I'm not only amazed at the price (get both for just £25!) but the quality is brilliant.  Sizing starts from a 10 but if like me you prefer a slightly loose feel to your tops then even for a size 8 these fit perfectly & I'd highly recommend them.

Morning ladies.  Today I thought we'd take a peek at what Great Plains has to offer for Spring as with 20% off their Spring & Summer collection (just use code GPSPRING20) there seems no better time then when we can save a bit of money :-)

As always the collection is full of timeless, well made pieces that we've come to love & expect from the brand with some great separates that are just perfect for mixing & matching.  I've put together my top picks above, which you will notice have a strong stripe influence.....me a stripe addict....never ;-)  And yes I seem to be sticking to my colour palette of greys, whites & blues.....what can I say they just work for me.  Plus being timeless they're ideal for accessorising with pops of colour & accessories that give a nod to the latest trends.

Back to what I'm wearing today & yup it's more of the same colourway....well I'm nothing if not predictable ;-)  Today I'm styling down a tailored blazer for a casual feel & adding a much needed pop of colour with this stunning suede Laura Ashley tassel bag.....although I'm also thinking a nice hot pink cross body would equally look fab!

So ladies are you a fan of Great Plains?  And if so is there anything in their latest collection that's got your fingers hovering over the 'buy me' button?  I'd love to hear what your favourite pieces are & if you've already shopped the drop.  In the meantime don't forget there's 20% off their Spring Summer collection here till Sunday with code GPSPRING20.

I don't know about you but I can't believe it's Wednesday again already - just 2 more sleeps until the weekend whoop whoop!

Have a fab day & I'll see you tomorrow.

Happy Tuesday ladies.

It's a day of doing & pilates for me so I'm keeping everything nice & simples with this new knitted blazer, which I'm teaming with my new red lips red jumper - I just couldn't resist the lips! Total love at first sight & both items are even nicer on, although the jacket does come up large so if you're interested I'd definitely consider sizing down.  For me the jacket it's the ideal dress down casual jacket that will go with so many things & is just perfect for warmer weather when it can so easily be folded up without having to worry about it creasing etc & the lips on the jumper just add that extra detailing like I mentioned in my post here.

OK justification over (just in case hubby is reading ;-0 ).  But if you are interested be warned stock can fluctuate especially in the jacket (which is also available in black) as I think it's one of their more popular designs.  However, a quick tip, if it's out of stock in your size it's always worth phoning one of their stores in London as I've found things in store when they've been sold out online & they'll also post items out to you (I think free of charge?!) :-)

Have a great day & see you tomorrow.

I just love this shade of pink & with the colour set to be huge for Spring & Summer I didn't need any more encourage to get 'clicking that button' when Marks had their last 20% discount.  Plus I love it teamed again faded denim - so fresh & full of the promise of Spring.  

Here's to a great day for us all & as always I'll see you in the mornig.
