As a contributor to The Debrief online, Grazia Magazines online outlet, I regularly get out on the field to check out what’s new in the shops. Essentially to have a real graft and selfie session in the changing room #changingroomselfie.
So, I’m officially a convert. I’m going to be completely upfront about this – I have never been an & Other Stories fan. As a blogger and stylist, it’s generally my code to just not pay attention to things I don’t vibe with, but this weeks fashion revelation is a new found love for H&M’s luxury sister brand & Other Stories. My reasoning for not having been a lover of the brand before – despite friends always raving about it – is that items never seem to jump out at me on the hangers. But after popping into the store on Regent Street for an overdue dressing up session, I couldn’t be more sold on all the individual pieces I tried on. Any questions about the outfits from & Other Stories? I was convinced so I hope you will be too, I’d love to hear your personal comments.
THE SUMMER BRIGHT
Absolutely loving this bright coral dress. Deceivingly not a show stopper on the hanger, but when I tried it on it’s got that perfect drop waist belt that falls in just the right spot. Not only can I see myself wearing this for a summer party but also just for walking the streets of London when the sun decides to come out.

THE 70s REMIX
It looks like elements of the 70s are still going strong this summer – fashion really does go round in circles. I absolutely love this lace panel blouse which is slightly oversized. A perfect dressed up look, and it gives me some arm coverage – just enough to get my legs out.

CLASSIC AND CASUAL
& Other Stories are doing a really good job with the wide leg trouser here. Not something I usually delve into because I’m paranoid of looking too small, but as they’re quite billowy in shape, a little t-shirt and platform shoes do the trick for elongating. I’m really keen on a suede jacket this season – worn tied around the waist or over the shoulders…
Wide leg trousers £55 | Striped crewneck t-shirt £19 | Suede button jacket £245 | Leather flatforms £125

THE GROWN UP
This is my more adult city look… with an element of the man-repeller to the jeans – the most unbelievably snug-around-the-waist jeans with the perfect amount of flare. I have been looking for a pair of these for a while that actually fit without me looking like a three year old!

THE DRESS OF ALL TRADES
So simple, so great for those early signs of summer, and will also see you through balmy evenings on a beach or in the park. The material of this falls really nicely too. As it’s so simple, it’s the perfect opportunity to throw in a flash of color with these really fun and comfortable platform heels.

THE DRESS SHIRT
I cannot get enough of shirts at the moment. They seem to be a no brainer for work and weekend wear too – hence my ever growing collection of almost identical shirts. Worn with a cropped skinny and some flatforms, the dress shirt is as smart as you can get with the least amount of effort.
