CHRISTMAS
A Christmas Wish List with Sophia Rosemary
Representing the North West with her sartorial prowess is self-proclaimed vintage magpie, Sophia Rosemary. Providing us with fashion inspiration on the daily, her self-titled blog, podcast with fellow fashion influencer Alice Catherine and Instagram channel is a one stop shop for styling tips and tricks. With Christmas Day fast approaching we asked Sophia for a second year running what was top of her Christmaswish list. Here's a sneak peak of what Sophia's adding to her basket this year.
1. Anni Lu Women's Iris Light Bracelet - Multi
"This year I've really embraced colour in my jewellery collection and can't get enough of sweet beaded pieces like this bracelet! It's perfect for adding a splash of colour to an outfit, giving it a fun feel to your style whilst also being really wearable."
2. Hunter Women's Original Refined Short Gloss Wellies - Black
"As a proud Golden Retriever mum, wellies are a big daily staple for me. This year especially we've been doing a lot of big- often muddy- walks and I think my hunters must be my most worn item. I love this glossy pair because I feel like to adds something a little chic and stylish to a casual outfit. These are really wearable with a dress and tights as much as jeans and a jumper."
3. Marant Etoile Women's Rebel Dress - Ecru
"Speaking of dresses to wear with wellies, this Isabel Marant Etoile dress is one of those styles which is super versatile for pretty much any occasion! I can see myself wearing this in December with thick tights and hiking boots or in summer with sandals. Dress it up or dress it down, I just know this would be such a staple in my wardrobe!"
4. Olivia Rubin Women's Dee Cardigan - Colourblock
"I love block colours which clash so it's no surprise I was drawn to this cardigan. I absolutely adore the mix of colours used. The lilacs and pinks make it ultra feminine and a great one for spring whilst the forest green, mustard and burgundy are great for styling in winter."
5. RIXO Women's Dianna Dress - Patchwork
"It wouldn't be a winter wish list without featuring a great party dress or two! Rixo is one of those brands I always turn to for failsafe, stand out dresses and this style is no exception. I love the harlequin-esque mix of colours and the flicks of gold which give it a festive feel. For me it's the shape which I love most, this is a great dress for Christmas day when comfort is paramount!"
6. Rains Belt Jacket - Beige
"Much like wellies, raincoats have been another key item for me this year and I'm always on the hunt for a functional rain coat with a more stylised feel to it. This Rains trench is perfect! It could easily be worn for a city day trip or a country walk plus its just so timeless!"
7. Shrimps Women's Dawson Bag - Burnt Ochre
"No party look would be complete without a sparkly accessory or two in my opinion and this Shrimps beaded bag is just so pretty I couldn't NOT feature it. Shrimps is one of my favourite go to brands for gorgeous bags and the colour of this style is so unique."
8. Stine Goya Women's Tulula Long Print Dress - Jasmine Ochre
"Just one more party dress couldn't hurt! I've gone for something a little more NYE than Christmas day with this show stopper from Stine Goya. There's something really effortlessly chic about the cut, this is one of those dress you could easily wear year after wear and it would never grow dated. I also love the little gold flowers as a subtle festive nod."
9. Polo Ralph Lauren Women's Knit Jumper - Multi
"Colourful knitwear for me is a great way to add a bit of life into a casual outfit. I've been living in jeans and knitwear at the moment which can feel a little lacklustre, a bright jumper is a great way of easily turning this kind of outfit around into something more vibrant. I love the 80s/90s vintage feel to this Ralph Lauren style."
10. See By Chloé Women's Midi Skirt - Deep Denim
"Lastly another great versatile piece to wear all year round! I love the 1970s feel to this See By Chloe denim skirt wear it in summer with a dainty blouse and espadrilles or in winter with a cable knit and a brown suede boot."
