Style and London: This Week's Wish List: Minimal

This week's New In love-in is ASOS. I decided to choose pieces that had a minimal/basic vibe about them because I am constantly buying clothes with bright patterns or noticeable features which makes me feel as though I can only wear them a few times. It's important to build up a good selection of basics for your wardrobe, as these are the pieces that we go back to time and time again.

Clothing

1. River Island Tartan Faux Fur Trim Cape £35

I just love this cape. I can just imagine it being so comfy on those cold winter days! It also comes in black...might have to get both!

2. ASOS Shirt Dress With Belt £40

So simple, so chic.

3. ASOS Jumper In Rib With Turtle Neck £22

I love a jumper, especially if it's a turtle neck, and this elegant looking grey one would look good with anything from jeans to a black pleated skirt.

4. ASOS WHITE Pleat Back Dress £55

Although this doesn't look like much for the price, the material is a beautiful mix of cotton and wool and it has a pleated detail on the back so it drapes amazingly. The length is great for everyday wear too.

5. ASOS Culotte with Wrap Pleat Front £35

I have grown to covet a pair of culottes, whereas when they first burst onto the scene I wasn't so convinced by them. These grey ones look like they could make any top look stylish.

6. Glamorous PU Dress with Plunge Neck £32

Styled in the wrong way, I don't think that this dress would have made it onto my wishlist. However the model that they've used gives the dress a more 90s vibe than a girl-in-the-club look. This dress could be played down for casual days by wearing a white short sleeved tee underneath.

Accessories

1. River Island Hi Vamp Grey Mule Sandals £50

Like culottes, mules are a shoe that have grown on me through the season. Now, I want a pair and keeping in with this week's minimal theme, these are perfect!

2. ASOS Clutch Bag With Flower Embellishment £35

ASOS have been coming up with an updated version of this bag each season for a while now, and the colours of this new one are perfect for Autumn.

3. River Island Bazo Buckle Strap Ankle Boots £65

For some reason, people always assume that I am taller than I actually am, even in flats. Having shoes with a slight heel allows me to trick people even further!

4. Warehouse Flat Wrist Clutch Bag £15

A lot of girls think that small bags are pointless... but not me! They're great for those times when you're just visiting a friend or going shopping and only need your keys, phone and purse. This one at £15 is a steal!

5. Vans Old Skool Snake Trainers £55

I've never owned a pair of Vans, however seeing this pair has made me think twice about them. I'm a sucker for snakeskin print.
