As a city worker, there is nothing I love more than a new fashion find that I am able to wear to work and casually out of work, more bang for my buck springs to mind! Plus with the temperatures rising, the appeal of a fitted dress, or trouser suit is not that enticing and thinking about it alone makes me wanna pass out.
Creeping into my wardrobe is the tailored, floaty shorts, they scream, business but playful and fun too, whilst not normally worn to the office and reserved more for the beach, this summer they are an alternative to the trouser and I must say they are so perfect for the office and after work drinks, plus they keep you cool from day to night.
It's all about comfort and the lose fitted option is the way to keep you cool, plus I have to blame Sainsbury's as this was where I spotted these beauties, that has fuelled my obsession with tailored shorts this summer. Reiss has a great selection and they do tailoring ever so well, I've found the coolest ones here which are currently on my wish list.
With so many different styles to choose from, if opting for the longer length I certainly recommend wearing it with a crisp blazer and a basic white tee. For short tailored shorts, all you need is a good shirt, some great flats and a trusty bag. I am keeping it neutral, and beige, my style is always changing and evolving, but at the moment, I am drawn to white, neutral and beige tones, opting for a more classic and chic look and I am finding that I am able to mix and match more key pieces in my wardrobe. If you are looking for texture, why not wear some white shorts with a leopard print top or my new fave print is the zebra print, some gold statement jewellery to give it a more luxe feel. Just remember to keep the shorts loose fitted, I'm going for a size up for a more relaxed look.

Is there anything more chic, more relaxed than a classic look, a crisp white shirt and high waisted mom jeans is what I live for and is a staple look and a classic combo for Spring.

A classic white shirt is a basic and must have piece to have in your wardrobe, from fitted, to loose, even a mans shirt, they are easy to wear and you have endless possibilities of styling a white shirt. A great tip, for something a bit more relaxed and cosy do not be afraid to go a size up or even two, great for draping when a little bigger, or even tying up at the front, to having it draped off your shoulder. Have to confess I love a worn shirt, nothing to pristine for me, especially as I am not a major fan of ironing.
Every girl's best friend, a great pair of jeans. I am forever wearing jeans and it's important for me to find a great fit and style that suits my shape. Currently, I am forever living in high waisted jeans, one the hold my Mumma tum in, two they give you a great shape and lastly the make me look like I gotta butt, not a big Kim K butt, no bueno, not thank you, but a nice peachy one.
My brand of the moment for a great pair of jeans is from Next, they have a massive selection and the fit and fabric are to die for, plus they have loads of different colours in one style also and when you wash them they do not lose their shape or colour. But however I am on the hunt for a new reliable brand of jeans, so if you know of any and have your faves, let a gal know in the comments below, please.
See below for a line up of perfectly fitted white shirts, that are classic, feminine, masculine and a little bit sexy.

As we are moving off slightly from a midsummer nights dream, in a way which I am not quite ready to let go of, but life goes on, plus I will be braving the new Autumn air with my legs out, but don't worry how cold it has been the past few days (early morning and night) I am sure it won't be for very much longer.
Red-burgundy
No, I don't mean Ron Burgundy from Anchor Man I do mean the colours, Red & Burgundy. Red is this seasons must have colour, but I like to ease into that pop of red and start with a nice burgundy, the perfect offset of between the two and delightful warm shades of red and brown, personally I think it is a shade that goes with all skin types.
Shearling jacket
I mean what is not to love, it is always a big hit and I only got involved once last year, but I got my eye on a few shearling/teddy goodies to ease myself into the colder season.
Anything Weekday
The amazing brand is totally having a moment, especially with the new store opening on Regent Street, which FYI I am heading to, kid free over the weekend to stock up on so much needed essentials! Well, that's a laugh I want it all, plus I spied online that they are currently having 20% off ALL JEANS! Yup you heard me all jeans guys!
Sweaters
You know I am totally having a sweater moment, it's a massive game changer right now, be it paired with a skirt, backless with some comfy jeans or just something to lounge around in the house in, whatever! Make it a must this pay day and peruse this vast list I created for you guys to check out and snap a few of your favourites too.
Biggin it up
Quite literally go big or go home, and seeing as I'm on the tube with two bags, I'm just gonna go home, jump on the laptop and search for a big bag! This seasons trend is a must have big bag and I'm totally all over this trend, not just because I've spotted a few good ones but, it enables me to carry everything and anything, i.e. I could probably throw Leanora in their, so miss 1 mile per hour walking tortoise can get somewhere!
Book
Before I had L, I was a major reader and I am currently on a hunt for a few good books, be it self-help, fiction or not I plan on delving and getting lost in a few this month, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Mirror
Ok, so I have been living in my home for like 2 years and I am yet to find a mirror to go in the living room! I am a woman on a mission this month and I need some help in finding a large mirror, be it silver, grey or white I need something big! Every time I find something that I love it sells out, so guys yet again help me out, know of any good stores or markets, wherever just help a Mumma out with some suggestions!
Movie
Yes this has totally made the cut and I am a major fan of the original and I know that sometimes remakes can be atrocious, but I am dying to see IT yes IT I remember watching it as a kid and it scared the crap outta me literally my skin ran off and left me looking like a ghost! Damn, I love a scary movie, truly nothing makes me happier than a movie scaring me shitless and IT gets me excited, plus hottie Alexander Skarsgård younger brother is in it, playing the main role, sooooo a total must see, even just to perv over him!
What do you think of my September Edit Wish List? If you guys like maybe I can do one every month? Have you got anything you have your eyes set on this month, or have you snapped any of the bits above? I would love to hear your comments below.
Happy September.
