Another Wednesday means another week of my wants and this week is a mixed bag, connected only by the fact that I want it all! First up are these flat top visor sunglasses by Victoria Beckham – I know they’re going to be the marmite of sunglasses but I can’t stop wanting them, I’ve always been a fan of oversized sunnies and these with their combination of classic black and futuristic hard line top have my name written all over them.
Switching to the other end of the splurge rainbow is this seemingly rather boring metallic pleated skirt from Mango, but don’t let first impressions fool you. This skirt is the swiss army knife of winter wardrobes. Dress up or down, day or night – it has the potential to be your winter fashion best friend at less than £20 you’d kick yourself for not picking one up. Looking for another relatively low spend high return wardrobe staple? Then this M&S embroidered floral sift dress is one that will continue to pay out in the style stakes for season after season. Yes it may be pretty dressy, but in true Rosie style I wouldn’t hesitate to pair it with a pair of crisp white leather trainers and denim jacket for that relaxed commuter vibe…
Back to weather reality and keeping my feet firmly in winter with these UGG short classic boots – I’ve owned more pairs of UGGs than you’ve had hot dinners but I find myself entering 2017 with none, after I spilt hot wax on my last pair! I don’t care if people hate them; I’m a die hard fan, who doesn’t want comfy, warm as toast feet… sign me up for life!
Talking of comfy yet stylish, this Sweaty Betty Earthshine Sweat is THE BOMB, I spotted it on my Instagram feed yesterday and fell in love; I owned something pretty similar back in 2008 from River Island so that may explain why I like it so much. It’s perfect for layering gym wear but would also work with a pair of jeans, winner.
Now I know I promised no ‘New Year, New Me’ however we could all do with a reminder every now and then to be more present, despite it feeling that I’m pulled in hundreds of different directions every day, yet the most important at all times is Boo and this Be Present bangle from The Mindful Company is such a beautiful way to be reminded of this. Another want this week, that might be a bit of a surprise to those of you that know me is this Love ring designed by Paloma Picasso for Tiffany – I’m not one to wear my love on my sleeve or in this case, finger but this would make the loveliest of Mother’s Day gifts as the script lends itself to such a thoughtful touch that would make me smile every time I looked down and say it, plus the Paloma Picasso designs for Tiffany have such sentimental value to me.
My final want, I feel needs little to no justification; I have a rather large weak spot for luxury make up and skincare and this year I’m determined to discover some little treats for me and beauty subscription boxes seem like the perfect mama treat, and Cohorted offer the very best… I mean who doesn’t fancy the likes of Chanel and Bobbi Brown delivered direct to their door?
Happy Wanting!
I just got a pair of Kensington uggs for the school run and am a convert now. Loving that skirt and the jumper too. Great style. What a fab feature.
