I Want Never Gets... French Connection

I think French Connection is one of those brands I hold in high regard as being classic, chic and timeless. I only own a couple of items from the brand, as I think they're often priced a little out of my range, but I always have a little wishlist of items I'd love to own! Here's a look at some of my favourites.

I love the shape of this tunic top. It would flatter so many different figures. I think that's the key to a lot of French Connection's success, they style clothes that would suit a wide range of different women, rather than orienting the brand towards one particular type. This tunic is on offer at £54* from Tucci. Click!

I think this cute tee would add a bit of sparkle to even the most boring outfit, & you could easily style it up for a night out or evening drinks with friends. The bronze tone is one that would look fabulous on different skin tones - both porcelain and olive alike! £54* - Click!

How snuggly and warm does this cute grey jumper look? I've always been partial to a 3/4 sleeve top and this one is no exception. It would be great for layering up over a dress or paired with some skinnies for a more casual look. £72* from Tucci. Click!

I've seen a lot of Skulls in stores this season but the majority seem to be designed in a way that seems to be exclusively targetted at teens and adolescents. I think this jumper is a more grown up and mature way of buying into the trend & staying toasty this winter! It'd be great with a skater skirt or skinnies alike! £67* - Click!

Another silhouette that I think would flatter most body shapes is this jersey dress. I actually think this is a staple dress for your work wardrobe - for those days when you just roll out of bed and don't have the energy to piece together a 'proper' outfit. Pop this on with some sheer black tights and a blazer and you'd look a million dollars! £60* from Tucci. Click!

I Want Never Gets... Firetrap

I bought a Firetrap coat when I was 18 and to this day it is my favourite coat of all time. Unfortunately coats are not immortal, and my beloved coat is no longer with us, but here are a few of my choices from Firetrap's latest offerings. I love their blend of berry autumnal shades with neutral tones like grey - perfect for layering up with this winter!

I love loose knits this year, and think this grey jumper would suit most body shapes and be an ideal way to add a bit of layered warmth to any outfit. I could see myself pairing this with a berry playsuit for a dressier look, or just some black skinnies for a lazy afternoon snuggled up on the sofa. £65 from Tucci - Click!

Another knitwear item that I would love to get wrapped up in this winter! I have always had a bit of a thing for oversized collars as they keep your neck warm even without a scarf! I think this could certainly keep you snug on warmer winter days when you don't quite fancy wearing a coat, but also be a staple under your coat on those freezing-your-fingers off days when you want to wear as many layers as possible! £90 - Click!

How dreamy is this blouse? It's just stunning, the colours are spot on for wearing in winter. I could easily wear this to work with a pencil skirt but it would also look fab with jeans for a family function over Christmas or New Year. I can tell the fabric is soft and light and the pattern is just beautiful! Currently on offer at Tucci for £48. - Click!

Another absolutely stunning pattern, this tunic reminds me of some of the offerings from All Saints. I think I could easily team this with tights and a chunky knit for a Christmas meal with friends, or just a pub session after work. Pair it with heels for a more glammed up look that would be ideal for a work Christmas party! £75 - Click!

Finally, who doesn't love a cute pair of little tweed shorts? I used to have some really similar to these but I lost a bit of weight and they don't fit me anymore so had to be eBayed! I think tweed shorts are such a simple and easy look to pull off in autumn or winter, especially with woolly tights and a big snug jumper (maybe the grey one I raved about above?) £45 from Tucci - Click!

Do you own anything from Firetrap? Are you a fan of their autumnal hues?
