Shhh..It's my AW15 Hush Wishlist...

Style Theory: On this beautifully sunny day it seems strange writing about Autumn and Winter but I know as soon as the evenings draw in and there is a bite in the air I will be wanting to wrap myself in soft, comfortable, warm wool and cashmeres. Autumn and winter is all about layering, vest tops under sweaters with oversize cosy scarves draped across. In the evening snuggling up on the sofa in a sweatshirt and loose sweatpants while sipping a hot chocolate...

Hush, this season, have this look to perfection, it is full of beautifully cut jersey pieces to layer underneath boxy cashmere and their parka, for me, is the star piece it would help you survive the winter in style...

Here is my edit of the my favourite pieces..

The Winter Parka
Hush Fire Parka £170
Fairly expensive but if you are like me you would wear this coat almost every day throughout the winter so the cost per wear is pretty good and worth the investment. The thing that really makes this parka stand out is the fire red fur on the hood, it adds a cool style twist that makes this coat a little different than others. The hood and teddy fur lining are detachable so you can wear it in the early Autumn too. Pair with a grey Tee, ankle length blue skinny jeans or a denim dress and lo converse in the Autumn and with a pair of black skinny ankle length jeans and grey sweater and tan pointed ankle boots in the winter. Love these looks below..

The Knit Dress
Willow Knit Dress £90
I love a comfy knitted dress in the Autumn and winter, the perfect layering piece, it looks great with thick tights and ankle boots or flat knee high boots (I would wear with my Stan Smiths and bare legs on the warmer Autumn days) Perfectly styled below:

The Sweater
Hush Stella Jumper £75
A Hush classic, the star jumper is cool, easy to wear and will add a little style twist to the most dressed down outfit. I love the grey/black colourway, would look fab with black skinny jeans and boots and add a pop of colour with a dark red bag ( I adore deep red and grey together). Or wear in the early autumn with white jeans and trainers. I love a grey on grey look so I would team with an oversized grey scarf as the image below

The Cardigan
Nina Cardigan £90
Yes the 90s are officially back and with this comes my absolute love of long cardigans. They are so useful and flattering, they cover up my bottom, slim down my thighs in skinny jeans and are deliciously warm..what is not to love? The colour of this cardigan is beautiful and the styling is perfection, autumn wrapped up in one outfit. Neutrals work so well layered up, camels, soft greys, pale pinks and whites, sometimes subtlety speaks volumes. I love these looks below,a breton and the Hush camel cardigan would work beautifully..

The Jumpsuit
Jumpsuit £75
The black jumpsuit can be such a hardworking piece in your wardrobe. Effortlessly chic, easy to style and wear, can be dressed up with heels or worn with a biker jacket, trainers and oversized scarf. I have a jumpsuit almost identical to this and have worn it non-stop over the past 5 years, it seems to fit every event.

The Indulgent Cashmere Sweater
Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater £185
Granted this is really pricey but if you were in need of a little indulgence this season this beautiful berry cashmere jumper would be the perfect item to be invest in. It looks beautiful with navy, camel, grey and this season's perfect mix of berry and pink. These images from the Chanel and Givenchy catwalk and also from VB show how versatile berry is..

 The Accessories
Blanket Shawl £35
Adore this blanket shawl, it is a gorgeous colourway and would look stunning over a black, camel, pink, grey or navy coat. Or throw over a leather biker jacket for extra warmth, at £35 this is a fabulous buy.

Check out Hush' nightwear and brand new homewear too, their pyjamas are gorgeous as are their new range of candles, smell divine!

My Style
This is what I have been wearing over the last couple of days before the heavens opened and it started pouring with rain....

For lunch out with the family..
Top: Zara £22.99
Jacket: Primark old similar here
Trousers: Topshop similar here (better as they do not have the rips)
Bag: H&M old
Shoes: H&M sold out
For a heavenly shopping day in Wimbledon with the girls and then drinks in the village in the evening... I think these jeans have been my best buy this summer, I have worn them so much and as they get older the distressing looks better. They look as good with heels as with flats and trainers. I sized down two sizes as they do come up big...
Sunglasses: Spain
Top: Asos
Jeans: Levis 501CT @Very £95
Shoes: Isabel Marant (sold out)
 Yesterday for dinner with the family, going for the preppy look...
Shirt: Gap similar here
Shorts: Urban Outfitters
Knitted Jacket: Henri Lloyd
Trainers: Platform Superga £50

And today I am wearing warm clothes and a cagoule..it just has not stopped raining!! But on the positive side I am getting in the mood for lounging in beautiful Autumnal layered clothes and sipping a hot chocolate in front of the fire (or in reality throwing back a cuppa whilst picking up the toys flung around the house, one day I will be serene and calm!)

Spotlight on Hush

Style Theory: Sometimes a brochure drops through your letterbox and it inspires you and encapsulates many of your dream pieces of the season. Yesterday the Hush Top Summer 40 mini magazine arrived on my doorstep and I fell for almost every item!

Here are my top 10 pieces from Hush 
Pinstripe Shirt Dress £55
Perfect for throwing over a bikini to take you from beach to bar. 100% cotton so will be so cool for hotter weather. Add a wide brimmed black straw hat (this one) and flat black leather strappy sandals (these) and an oversize basket bag for a glamorous look..
Halter Bikini Top £35
Fold Over Bikini Bottom £30
I love the aqua shade of this bikini, it would look fabulous against sunkissed skin with fine gold jewellery. The halter neck top has removeable pads which are always useful and suit any bust. The fold over bikini bottoms are the type I always buy, they allow you to wear the bottoms as high or low on your tummy as is flattering for your shape, I wear them a little higher to keep my out of shape tummy a little hidden! 
Palm Beach top £40
Denim Shorts £45
Adoring all of this look. I simply live in black camisole tops and denim shorts on holiday. Easy to stick on whilst dashing out the house with the kids to the beach after spending hours getting them ready, slathering them in suntan lotion and finding their hats, buckets, spades change of pants etc always leaves me with exactly 2 minutes so thank goodness for outfits like this and Piz Buin Once suntan lotion my summer saviours! The shorts are the perfect pale blue color, with just the right amount of distressing. And I love the black swing cami with crochet detail, practical and flattering, would look fab with blue skinny ankle length jeans and Next flat tan strappy sandals too.
Star Jumper £69.50
This is a super lightweight sweater in a bamboo knit. Perfect for wearing on holiday in the evenings or wear over the aqua bikini top with denim shorts for a cool look.
Bondi Beach Dress £55
This dress is perfectly boho, again I would pair with my Next tan strappy sandals and a large basket bag (here) for a cool beachy look. On the schoolrun I would wear this dress over my pale blue skinny jeans with sandals.
3 Star Stud Earrings £39.95
These will trend up your jewellery collection, slightly edgy these star earrings are perfect for bringing your look into summer 2015. Gold plated silver or sterling silver these are beautiful.
Pom Pom Clutch Bag £50
This clutch bag is perfectly oversized so you can actually fit your purse, make up keys etc in it. The monochrome with orange pom pom and zip would look fab with Hush denim shorts and black top above or with a black summer dress (see my last post for ideas) 
Pomegranate and Peppercorn Candle £12
I always take a little candle away with me when I go on holiday as I love having a glass of wine in the evening on the terrace with a lovely smelling candle burning, a little bit of holiday heaven! This one has great reviews and I have been assured the smell is divine. Hush you have pretty much got my dream summer wardrobe all wrapped up in one brochure, thanks for the inspiration with free delivery and returns (code: HOLIDAY15)..now what to order first *scrambles upstairs to look for old summer clothes to ebay*!! 

What has been inspiring you this summer, which brand has caught your eye. Have you bought any Hush items, which are your favourites? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, have a great weekend, until next time, Frances xx
