Minimal Heaven...

I've been soooo looking forward to today - A trip to London for a shopping trip and finally getting to meet Belle! 

You'd have heard me blather on about Belle before, the thing is…I've never actually met her...until today!! 

I've followed Belle's blog for a while - I love her humour, her writing and her nailed on minimal style. 

It can be hard to find a shopper who shops just like you and I'm pleased to confirm WE HAVE A MATCH!! We talked, shopped, tried on, shopped, chatted, laughed, shopped….*repeat to fade*

It won't surprise you to know that I had a fairly fixed shopping list … Vegas is T-Minus 8 days and, following a quick outfit layout last night, the gaps in the wardrobe were identified and duly filled today (kinda').

The biggest success came in the form of & Other Stories. We hit it up mid morning and spent a good hour scouring the rails and trays...

Post shopping in & Other Stories OOTD;

My Buys…

I LOVE & Other Stories accessories - For a start they are sized (perfect when you have wrists the size of a 5 year old) and very reasonably priced!! 

OK, it's not a great shot but, this is a simple and oh so perfect triple strand bracelet - This will be worn alllll summer! I can't find a link to this beauty online but still, you have to check the bracelets - I want all of them!

The rhinestone detail ring looks quite blingy here… In fact, it's really versatile… It'd work with jeans and a tee or, a fabulous cocktail dress! Buy here.

*Failing on the shots tonight*… This is my new minimal long brass pendant necklace - Purpose; Vegas day wear..maxi/tee/cami 'finisher'! Buy here.

& Other Stories stocks some amazing basics, a bit pricier than your standard High Street stores yet, totally reflected in the quality and cut!

Proof (albeit a bad shot) that I bought tees! 

Scoop neck grey tee - a standard in store. Buy here. 

Black tank with a lower dipped hem at the front with cut in sleeve detail…expect to see this double worn for day and night in Vegas! Buy here.

Now I'm home and reflecting on my day, I can confirm that I have some regrets….Like, NOT BUYING THESE…*shakes fist at sky*

Orange and black leather box clutch - buy here (race you!)

Perforated leather sandals (that look even better on!!) - buy here 

Do you shop in & Other Stories? What have you been buying? Do you know what one should wear when catching a helicopter to the bottom the the Grand Canyon??

Coming tomorrow, a new POTW in the form of summer sandals…See you then x
