Andrea's It List: 6 pay day picks to elevate your style for the year ahead
Now we're into a new month, there are endless new possibilities to embrace - and fresh styling opportunities to look forward to. I'm currently relishing the last few weeks in London to make a few key investment buys before the craziness of fashion month begins in earnest, kicking off 4 weeks of travel for the shows. This week, I'm rounding up my pay day picks - a few items I've had my eyes on to invest in for the year ahead.
SHOP MY TOP PICKS
This unique oxblood drawstring bag is currently on my wish list. I'll pair it with jeans and a chunky knit at weekends and style it up for the office with a leather skirt and white shirt. Available in a range of colours, including black and cream, and also comes with a shoulder strap.
I'll be stocking up this month on my favourite Acqua di Parma Colonia Eau de Cologne Spray. This warm citrus scent with undertones of rosemary and sandalwood reminds me of holidays and is my feel-good fragrance to get through the darker months till spring.
I can't resist pointy flats like these ones, which combine glamour with comfort for those evening events I know are coming and I'll be on my feet all night long. These embellished patent leather flats are just what I need for Spring, but I know I'll wear them year in and year out.
There are so many shearlings and fake fur coats on sale right now, but if you're looking for a reliably well-cut versatile style, this full-length oversized one by All Saints is a safe bet. It's also totally reversible. After a shorter style? This beautifully Isabel Marant Etoile version with leather details is a little more expensive but a real statement piece and worth every penny.
I just discovered the Diamond Store, which features very reasonably priced ethical lab-grown diamonds and surprisingly reasonable price points. I’ll be treating myself to this delicate initial necklace and matching ring, which I know will work with all my existing jewellery pieces.
As we get into fashion month, this Estee Lauder advanced repair serum will be one of those life-saving products I rely on to nourish and plump my skin overnight, leaving me looking refreshed - even if I'm not feeling it.
