Having put together my lust list for Sheerluxe this month I wanted to share those items which didn’t make the cut.
Given I have recently had twins girls, running around in heels is not ideal and I find my wardrobe is now full of ballet pumps, so I am always on the look out for exciting patterns or colours and I have my eye on Oscar De Le Renta’s snakeskin ballerina flats.

I got married in lace so I always look for an excuse to wear it whenever I can. I love 3.1 Philip Lim’s lace shift dress, perfect to wear on my anniversary!
3.1. Philip Lim lace dress
I had a wonderful conversation last weekend with girlfriends as to what would make their lust list and my gorgeous sister-in-law Nicole, admitted that it had to be Valentino and I have to say she is right, this seasons cream embroidered mini dress is quite sensational.
Valentino
Attention to detail is a must for me and 3.1. Philip Lim is famed for detail. I love this ribbon and beaded embellished sheer cotton top.

As many of you have probably realised by now I have a penchant for soft muted tones so you can imagine my delight when I came across Giorgia Scarpa’s pretty blush drawstring bag at Matches.

Candles Candles Candles…. I love them and my favourite this season is Carriere Freres Industrie in Royal Lilly.

Being a recent mother of twin girls my delight in shopping has increased even more. Much to my husbands horror I have discovered a whole new world in retail. As I mentioned in last weeks blog we have a record number of weddings to go to this year and I have to ensure my tiny tots are suitably stylish. Here are my top picks for a well dressed family.
Antionette Dress Vintage Blooms
This charming little dress has three quarter sleeves and it does up at the back with a zip.
Trotter French Style
This classic French style dress has exquisite detailing. I love the wide sash and pretty collar.
Bonpoint
Bonpoint Eshani Dress has beautifully embroided neckline with little buttons at the back.
The Catherine Malandrino cotton bow-front dress is perfect for a warm summer day in the English Countryside. I just love the beautiful feminine tiered petal embellishment. Team with some funky patent shoes and the Thomas Lyte Curtis Patent Leather Clutch Bag in Black and you will have a look that is right on trend.

And to ensure I stay smelling fresh throughout the day I am never without the new Thomas Lyte Sterling Silver Test Tube Atomiser.

For the man if your life never underestimate the importance of detail. I would recommend the Thomas Lyte Sterling Silver collar stiffeners to make sure his collar looks sharp and neat with the Thomas Lyte round cufflink in sterling silver. For contemporary Savile Row tailoring opt for English designer Richard James. His silk ties are the perfect finish to a suit.
