6 FIX | WEEKDAY WEEKEND

1: Dress £55 Weekday | 2: Sunglasses £195 Karen Walker |

3: Lipstick Perricone MD | 4: Bucket Bag £935 Proenza Schouler |

5: Boots £39.99 Public Desire | 6: Perfume £125 Heeley Parfums...

---------------------

The key to fine tuning your wardrobe lies in finding relaxed, fail safe pieces that will breathe new life into your closet.

Weekday is the cool Scandi brand whose uncomplicated signature style is infused with chic, pared back minimalism, looks significantly more expensive than it's price tag, and does what it says on the tin.

With more than a whiff of spring in the air, transition the look into the new season with simple white kicks, I'm currently coveting these, though it does involve a deep and meaningful with my conscience/bank balance.

The truth is, simplistic elevated essentials, nail low maintenance dressing, making this little dress a winner on so many levels.....

Just how I like it!

------------------

Six pieces to freshen up your wardrobe.

CELINE DREAM | SPLURGE OR STEAL?

SPLURGE.....

SOFT SLIPPER IN STRIPE KNIT £560

CELINE

OR STEAL?

WOVEN BRAIDED SHOES £59.99

MANGO

On examining the evidence, these Mango sandals pay more than a little homage to Celine.

To avoid any self induced anxiety attacks (my overspent budget won't allow a splurge) I'm trying to keep my feet 'excuse the pun' firmly on the ground.

All that said, when the tribute act looks as good as this, I can pretty much guarantee, they are more than a considered purchase right now.

LE WEEKEND:

Striped Pyjama Trousers / Cashmere Mix Throw /

Striped Chambray Shirt / Long Striped Shirt /

Flannel Pyjama Top

--------------------

What better way to ease yourself into the weekend than blissfully cocooned in Cos's leisure wear.

The high street's 'Scandi' minimalist muse features cosy cashmere, luxe flannels and heavenly stripes........Meaning off duty plans are well and truly covered.

WARNING: It may become addictive (I hope!)

TOPSHOP | HAUTE STREET CHIC

Not surprisingly I've caught the new season bug, OSD (Online Scrolling Disorder).

Early symptoms include the obligatory daily surfing and flirting at Topshop's fresh arrivals, and coveting those pieces than sell out quicker that a One Direction concert.

All this hard finger work will pay off I tell Mr N.A.D, whilst desperately trying to hide the fact that I've already mentally planned how I will rotate them through my capsule favorites.

If I'm honest, it may take a little time to explain the condition and antidote to him......

If your diagnosed with OSD, help is out there?

'Retail Therapy'

The best possible cure.

SALE SPY | EILEEN FISHER

There's no denying I adore a bargain, but when bigger bucks are involved, it needs to be an investment too.

So, if like me your caving in under the pressure of nabbing a sale goodie or two (I'm blaming the miserable weather), then sartorially stockpiling Eileen Fishers timeless wardrobe stalwarts, is a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

I mean, what's not to love? Beautiful iconic pieces that set the standard for wardrobe simplicity.
