say hello to Atterley.com

Bored of the same old high street stores or websites? If you haven't already heard of Atterley then stand up and pay attention as you will want to know about my current favourite online store - Atterley.com

If you are a client of mine then you will already be aware of Atterley's website as I have been banging on about their collection of shopable brands for the past couple of years since it's launch in 2012 . But recently it's had a brand and website make-over and it's new collection is all about their own brand label. It offers an online store that is brimming with contemporary designed looks, stylish staples and affordable prices, what's not to love?!

The new Autumn Winter collection is a clean scandi-inspired look. Offering statement pieces that stand up in their own right and at the same time have the ability to sit cohesively within everyone's wardrobe. Easy shapes that can be worn for everyday style, such as the khaki utility shirt. For workwear woes the sleeveless shirt dress hits the style spot. For evenings, the collection of jumpsuits will have you ordering more than one! (I am currently coverting the bright green sleeveless one as below). There is something for every occasion.

What I also like is the attention to detail of each piece in the range. The larger than normal pockets so that you can actually fit something in them. White trousers that have fabric thick enough for you to be able to wear underwear and not be seen! Real practical things designed for real women like you and me, without compromising on style.

So head over to the new look website and pick up some expert tips on how to wear your new Atterley pieces in their stylist notes. Or pick up something timeless to wear again and again next season.

If you need some direction, here is my Top 5 pieces from the Autumn Winter collection that will give your wardrobe a seasonal face-lift and won't blow the budget!

1. Green sleeveless jumpsuit £75.00

2. Burgundy shirt dress £55.00

3. Grey 3/4 sleeve blouse £55.00

4. Khaki canvas blazer £75.00

5. Gold spot drape blouse £58.00

Edits guide to your top 5 Spring buys

It might surprise you to know I really haven’t bought many clothes in the last 18 months. I didn’t bother much whilst I was expecting and since having my 3rd baby it's taken a few months and a season change to get back into the swing of 'making an effort'.

So a few weeks ago I decided to do a wardrobe detox on my own wardrobe. I took into consideration all of the advice I give my clients and tried most things on to decipher if they were worth keeping.

After I had removed all the pieces that I realised I would never wear again, didn't fit my lifestyle anymore and had no sentimental value, I wrote myself a 'wish list' of new spring pieces to add into my newly streamlined wardrobe.

Whilst compiling my 'wish list' I also considered the realisation that what I purchase needs to be more practical than before, and that more than ever, I am looking for a flattering fit and good quality. “Quite nice” just won’t cut it anymore. Plus I just don’t have the time or the inclination to spend a small fortune on alterations. So what I purchase has to be right for me, here and now and will last with 3 boys around. But perhaps with a few sparkly things thrown in too...

These are the things on my 'wish list', why don't you share yours with me too?
