Brand focus: ARKET

Arket smashed it’s way onto the UK high street in 2017 just after it’s launch by the H&M group. Since then its popularity has grown season upon season truly embedding itself into every fashionista’s wardrobe.

The brands aesthetic is clean, minimal, simplicity and timeless. It has a definite Scandinavian feel to the look of the brand and one you truly want to buy into. It is a lifestyle brand with the offering of womens, mens, children and baby means you can dress your whole family in the same coolness together. They also have a homewear edit so this can continue on through your home too.

I my experience of Arket buying it for myself, recommending it to clients and seeing the items in their wardrobe is the quality. The heavy weight t-shirt in white, black and colours is the ultimate perfect t-shirt, I have been wearing it for years and I have not found a better version.

I always get asked about my satin maxi skirt if the quality is any good and it has the best weight to it, I cannot recommend it enough and love the other colourways.

What I love about the brand is that everything is wearable, good quality and reasonably priced. There are not alot of brands that fit that mould on the high street anymore. You don’t have to break the bank to buy a new jumper, a pair of great fitting jeans or a new coat. The brand is strong and you can find everything you want to fill your wardrobe. They are definitely a go-to brand for me, depending on the seasons colour palette they will serve me up wardrobe hero’s and whole outfits I will want to wear and rewear.

If you are stuck with new brands to shop then Arket should be on your radar. I have pulled together an outfit for each colour season to show that you can easily make up looks and outfits from their current online offering.

Most people shop online and most people prefer it over shopping in person. You might be time poor, you might not enjoy going out and shopping, using changing rooms or getting over whelmed by the shops full of clothes. Me, I love shopping in person which is why I do it for a living. But I also love shopping online. One of my most popular services are my online shopping look books.

Online shopping can come with its downfalls. Endless doom scrolling to find what you want. Not knowing what you want so using search tools to try to find pieces you like. Not knowing where to look so going back to old faithful brands that no longer suit you. Receiving the items and they don’t fit properly, you don’t know if you like it, if it suits you or if it’s quite what you were looking for. All resulting in having to send it back. That’s if you even manage to do that. Sound familiar?

That’s why my online shopping look book edits service is so popular. I do all the searching for you. I find you the perfect pieces from places you might never of heard of and items you would never of chosen. You receive them and there is no need to send them back because you love it and it fits! Choosing pieces that are perfect for you, your lifestyle and your budget is something I love to do. It is also something I do daily. I am constantly shopping for clients so I can make it look easy.

Now is a great time so refresh your wardrobe with some new pieces. I have 3 different online shopping look books to choose from, but this time of year I would advise you to think about how many pieces you need to add into your wardrobe. We are getting ready for Spring but weather wise we aren’t quite there yet so maybe you just want 5 new pieces to add in to update your wardrobe now and then do a seasonal look book in April when the best Spring bits are out. You might have a work trip coming up so need some pieces to add in, a holiday or weekend away and you want some new pieces to take with you. Whatever is on your mind we can discuss what you need and I can advise on which size look book to do.

Online personal shopping wardrobe update (approx 25 items across clothes & accessories) - £135.00

Online personal shopping small seasonal update (approx 15 items across clothes & accessories) - £95.00

Style fix online shopping 5 items - £40.00

Online personal shopping special occasion - £95.00

If you are still unsure then I would suggest a wardrobe review before you buy anything new.

This time of year I make a Spring wishlist. Pieces that have caught my eye over the weeks, items I might need or want in my wardrobe and I am excited about. I might bookmark them, wait for a discount code to buy them or just be searching for the right piece before I buy anything. My current wishlist is at the top of this blog post. Out of the 5 pieces I have bought 4 of them already and I am already wearing them because I love them so much! It revitilises the way I feel about my wardrobe, gives me something to get excited about and knowing I will continue wearing them for weeks to come means I have made a good investment.

High street edit

Navigating the fast-paced world of fashion can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to shopping on the high street. While high street fashion offers a variety of trendy pieces at affordable prices, it can often result in a closet filled with fleeting trends that you go off after one wear. Here I am offering you a chance to see pieces that I know are good quality, that will elevate your style and will align with your personal style. Some pieces to refresh your wardrobe and give your wardrobe a new lease of life for 2024.

It’s around this time of year that we can start getting bored of our wardrobe as we are mid way through Winter now. I have picked out pieces that I have either bought recently, are on my wish list or picked because they have longevity into Spring and years to come.

I have picked an Edit for COOL skintones and one for WARM skintones so you can shop from the links the pieces that suit you best.

Knitted jackets edit

My big prediction for the coming season is that knitted jackets, bomber style jackets, cropped jackets and boucle fabrics are going to be a must-have piece for Spring.

The momentum has been gathering on the bomber shape for a number of years so it is only natural for it to evolve into other fabrics and take on a renewed styling for 2024.

A knitted jacket is like your Shacket move on (and equally annoyingly has to be described everytime you say it). For me a knitted jacket is a heavier weight cardigan, one you could button or zip up, so acts like a jacket but isn’t as heavy or you can wear your coat over the top - got it now? See below for some examples of what this looks like in real life.


The one I am wearing is from H&M last year but so far this year I have seen lots whilst shopping online. See my picks below.
